title: Assistive technologies for visual and hearing impairments offered to medical students in Brazil

description: Abstract: Introduction: Assistive technologies (AT) are products, equipment, devices, resources, methodologies and strategies that can be used in education to promote autonomous learning and academic success for students who have some type of disability. Objective: The objective was to analyze the AT available in medical courses in Brazil to support medical students with hearing and/or visual impairment. Methods: This is a descriptive study that used data from undergraduate medical courses participating in the Higher Education Census coordinated by Anísio Teixeira National Institute of Educational Studies and Research (Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisas Educacionais Anísio Teixeira, INEP), in 2018. AT for students with hearing and/or visual impairment that were available in medical courses were evaluated considering the characteristics of the institution, such as the type of administration (public versus private), location (capital versus interior) and the year the course started (from the year 2000 versus before year 2000). Results: In 2018, there were 323 active medical courses in Brazil. Most of them (90%) confirmed the offer of at least one type of AT. The discipline of Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS, Linguagem Brasileira de Sinais) was the most frequently offered AT (80%) and tactile material was the least offered AT (32%). There was greater comprehensiveness of AT supply for medical students in courses with a private administration, compared to the public ones. The location and the year the course started did not influence the provision of AT in Brazil. The courses showed better AT comprehensiveness to support students with hearing impairment than those with visual impairment. Conclusion: Most medical courses supply AT for people with visual and/or hearing impairments who are medical students, but incompletely. Although the location of the course and the length of time that the course has been active did not influence AT provision, the study revealed inequalities. Medical students with visual and/or hearing impairments have access to assistive technologies especially in courses with private administration, adding more barriers to their financial possibilities, which are already sufficiently affected by the fact that they have to meet the essential needs common to people living with disabilities.

title: World experiences in preceptorship in medical undergraduate education: an integrative review

description: Abstract: Introduction: The preceptor, as the physician who facilitates the teaching-learning process in practice settings, is essential for in service-training in the undergraduate medical school. The importance of these professionals in the training of new physicians highlights the need to understand the preceptorship activity from a medical education perspective. Objective: To verify, in the scientific literature, global experiences in preceptorship in the undergraduate medical school. Method: Integrative literature review using standardized descriptors in the following databases: LILACS - Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, MEDLINE - Online System for Analysis and Recovery of Medical Literature and SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online, between 2009 to 2019. Analysis of the articles was carried out using the thematic category technique. Results: The search in the databases resulted in 274 studies, of which 23 were analyzed and discussed in full. Detailing of the global experiences in preceptorship was systematized into two categories: intrinsic and extrinsic aspects for the exercise of preceptorship and educational strategies used by the preceptor. Conclusions: The analysis of the articles indicates the importance of the students’ actions together with preceptors for the acquisition of professional skills. A critical factor for the success of monitoring students in professional practice is the preceptor’s ability to assume the role of educator, in order to see the students in their uniqueness and in their integral development. Therefore, the significance of the preceptors’ qualifications becomes more evident.

title: Assessment of graduates in the health area: a review

description: Abstract: Introduction: This work presents a literature review on the experiences of evaluating graduates from undergraduate health sciences courses in Brazil with the development of processes centered on the graduate and his/her important role in verifying the quality of higher education. Objective: To understand the experiences of evaluating graduates from undergraduate health sciences courses in Brazil, identifying processes and the protagonism of the graduate in verifying the quality of higher education with a focus on medical and nursing courses. Methodology: A meta-synthesis, a type of literature review, was conducted with the purpose of qualitatively analyzing studies that address the theme of the evaluation of higher education graduates. The search for scientific productions on the subject had as its starting point the following question “How are higher education graduates in the medical field evaluated in Brazil?” We opted to perform a search in the main health databases PubMed, Web of Science, Lilacs, IBECS and SciELO. A total of 245 studies were found. The following inclusion criteria were then applied: 1- Work involving the development of a questionnaire for evaluating graduates; 2- Work involving the evaluation of graduates; 3- Work involving the participation of graduates; 4- Work involving quality indicators in higher education; 5- Development of methodologies for the evaluation of higher education. Following the application of these criteria, 13 articles were selected. It should be noted that in order to be included in the study, the work had to meet at least three criteria. Results: The evidence allows us to conclude that the graduate participates in the evaluation process in a unique way, his role is clear in the studies analyzed, whether he is active as an interviewee or subject who responds to a questionnaire developed with scientific metrics. Conclusion: The evaluation of graduates is an important strategic tool used by the management of educational institutions, and it can be considered a public policy of significant impact. The evidence confirms the need to incorporate graduates also as protagonists in the institutional self-assessment process.

title: Caring for caregivers: encouraging intervention activities as a learning strategy in medical internship

description: Abstract: Introduction: This work describes the experience of structuring a therapeutic group with informal caregivers who showed signs of overload and who worked providing care to bedridden people followed through home visits by the health team of the Family Health Strategy (FHS). Experience Report: The group was structured and developed by two students of the Internship period of the medical course during the rotation in Family and Community Medicine (FCM) together with the second-year resident physician of the Specialization Program in FCM, the preceptor of the Program, and the team nurse at the Josefa de Souza Silva school unit, Pedra Linda neighborhood, in Petrolina, state of Pernambuco, based on the identification of a problem in the community and as part of the intervention project. Discussion: Seven weekly meetings were held with twelve caregivers, from May to July 2019. Each meeting was divided into welcoming activities, presentation of the day’s proposal with the experience of a self-care practice and ended with the suggestion of a home activity, to be developed until the next meeting. For the development of activities, the community approach and resources such as Popular Education and Integrative and Complementary Practices in Health were used. Conclusion: The reduction of stress and overload on caregivers was observed, from the practice of self-care and the strengthening of support networks in the community. At the same time, the potential of the intervention project was perceived as a learning strategy in the process of medical training in the FHS: the students were able to experience the establishment of the doctor-patient relationship, the use of light technologies for care, the coordination of a therapeutic group, understanding the meaning of equity, integrality and longitudinality in the practice of FCM, recognizing themselves as caregivers and the importance of taking care of themselves to take care of others.

title: Prevalence of binge drinking among medical students in Brazil: A systematic review and meta-analysis

description: Abstract: Introduction: Binge drinking consists of an alcohol consumption pattern that is dangerous for the drinkers and for society. Undergraduate medical students are often exposed to stressful situations, increasing the propensity for psychoactive substance use including excessive alcohol consumption. Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a systematic review and meta-analysis to estimate the pooled prevalence of binge drinking practiced by Brazilian medical students. Methods: The search was performed in a standardized way, involving two researchers, and by consulting the PubMed/Medline, SciELO and LILACS databases. A meta-analysis was carried out to estimate the pooled prevalence of binge drinking and 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI). Results: We identified 206 records and included 14 studies in the review. The combined prevalence was estimated by the random effect method. Despite the substantial heterogeneity among the studies, the pooled analysis indicated that binge drinking is practiced by 47% of medical students as a whole, in Brazil (95% CI: 38%; 57%), and by 65% (95% CI: 50%; 78%) and 47% (95% CI: 34% to 59%), considering men and women, respectively. Conclusion: Binge drinking is practiced by almost half of the contingent of our future doctors. These results provide insights as to the choices and decisions that these students make regarding the consumption of potentially dangerous substances for the human health. Despite the high heterogeneity, the magnitude of the binge-drinking problem estimated in this meta-analysis demands an effective involvement of medical schools in Brazil.

title: Breaking bad news in medical student training: an experience using Psychodrama

description: Abstract: Introduction: Considered as one of the most challenging tasks faced by health professionals, breaking bad news proves to be an indispensable subject in the training of doctors, both in terms of technical skills and essentially human skills. In this challenging context, the question arises: are medical students prepared to deal with this issue? Experience report: Taking the SPIKES protocol as technical management associated with psychodramatic methodology, the study presents a hypothetical-practical situation in medical training at an institution in Minas Gerais, aiming to report and analyze the experience of using psychodramatic methodology in medical school. Discussion: The shift from their role to experience the other side - the role of the patient - exposed the students to an experience of greater sensitivity in the professional relationship, while facilitating the assimilation of appropriate strategies in handling the breaking of bad news. Conclusion: Students were led to reflecting more deeply on the role of the Physician, incorporating techniques beyond biomedical skills and finding themselves better prepared to deal with challenging issues in their professional practice.
