title: Quality of Life and Minor Mental Disorders of the Medical Students at the University Center of Caratinga (UNEC) - Minas Gerais

description: Abstract: Introduction: The quality of life of medical students has long been the object of interest and research, since, due to the stress inherent to the course, this population is vulnerable to mental disorders affecting their quality of life. Knowing about the medical students’ quality of life and general mental health, as well as the related factors, is critical to support actions improving the medical students’ learning process. To evaluate the medical students’ Quality of Life (and related factors) at the University Center of Caratinga (UNEC). Method: This descriptive, cross-sectional and quantitative study was conducted through a self-administered questionnaire containing questions on sociodemographic data, quality of life (WHOQOL) and general mental health (Goldberg’s QSG). A total of 94 medical students at UNEC - Caratinga, Minas Gerais, Brazil were divided into three groups, namely, G1 (1styear), with 32 students, G2 (3rdyear), with 30 students, and G3 (5thyear), with 32 students, who were analyzed through descriptive analysis, with the use of tools such as Chi-square test, Pearson’s correlation, Student’s t-test and/or Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Cluster analysis was performed at the statistical significance of a 5% probability. Results: Students perceive their quality of life as good. The domain of social relations obtained the highest score, and the psychological domain reached the lowest score. There was no significant difference in quality of life and general mental health, in the different periods of the course. A significant correlation was observed between general mental health (QSG) and quality of life factors, wherein a worse state of general mental health is associated with a lower quality of life. The incidence of minor mental disorders detected in the sample under analysis was of 41.5% among the students, of which the highest-scoring disorder was psychic stress (64.1%), and the lowest one death wish (39.8%). Conclusion: The analyzed medical students have a good perception of their quality of life. The course level (years at medical school) had no significant influence. The minor mental disorders in the population under study influences the quality of life. The results indicate the need for qualitative studies to acquire more information about the QOL of UNEC students.

title: Analysis of the Perception of Academics about Emergency and Emergency Medical Education

description: Abstract: Introduction: Urgency and emergency service involves risk situations that require immediate intervention to increase the patient’s chances of survival. The teaching of this discipline during undergraduate medical school has not been effective and the students show deficient training; thus, carrying out an evaluation aiming to know the reality about this formative process becomes important. Objectives: to evaluate the knowledge and personal satisfaction of the undergraduate medical students attending internship regarding the discipline of Urgency and Emergency, in private medical schools in the North of Minas Gerais. Method: transversal, quantitative, descriptive study, which applied 185 questionnaires addressing demographic data; knowledge of the Urgency and Emergency care policy applied to SAMU; knowledge of the epidemiology of pre-hospital care at SAMU, assessment and conduct during care; and perception of UE education. The population consisted of medical students, from the 8th to the 12th periods of medical school, divided into two groups in relation to the internship in UE. The statistical analysis was performed using Pearson’s Chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, with significance set at p &lt;0.05. Results: The population was predominantly female. As for the job option, 123 (66.5%) chose working at a doctor’s office, 35.1% chose UE services, and 95 (51.4%) cited family health. As for the professionals who work at the basic or advanced ambulance, 40.5% and 54.1% agreed on the composition of the basic and advanced ambulances, respectively. Being statistically significant with a p-value of 0.001 and 0.002. 15.7% correctly answered all causes of care provided by SAMU, and 36.2% correctly answered the clinical nature as the highest demand for care. There were no statistical differences regarding the perception of the importance of the general practitioner’s knowledge of urgency and emergency. Regarding the perception of students in relation to their training, a statistical difference was identified in questions related to the topics Screening - Manchester protocol, Monitoring, Basic and advanced life support, Pediatric emergencies. Conclusions: the urgency and emergency teaching, according to the students’ perception, is effective in this evaluation, but has gaps in pediatric and toxicological emergencies. Students are unsure of how to work in this area. It is necessary to further discuss this topic, due to its relevance to professional practice.

title: Identity, Care and Rights: the Experience of Talking Circles about the Health of Indigenous People

description: Abstract: Introduction: There is a historical fragility regarding the training of health care professionals working with the Indigenous Health System in Brazil and the awakening of the growing sensitivity for the promotion of intercultural dialogue is recognized as essential in this context. Thus, the project “Talking Circles about the Indigenous People’s Health” in the university emerged in 2016, developed in a partnership between medical school professors and indigenous students from the Indigenous Tutorial Education Program - PET Indígena - Health Actions, UFSCar. Method: This report is based on the qualitative documental analyses, aiming to present and discuss the experiences, perspectives and dialogues carried out during those meetings, the construction of diversity, the description of the activities performed and the exposure of their potentialities and limits. Results: Based on both Paulo Freire’s Culture Circles and active teaching-learning methodology tools, those meetings dealt with topics related to Indigenous People’s Health, the results of which were here grouped into three categories: Identity; Care; and Indigenous Rights. The Talking Circles format fostered the construction of new knowledge in indigenous health’s field related to different cultures, specific health policies, concepts of health-disease process, providing an initial approach on the indigenous health context in Brazil. Additionally, they provided a space with indigenous leadership that dared to indicate innovative perspectives on identity issues and health understandings, disease and healing processes, as well as raising the epistemology inherent to these populations. Conclusions: Based on the dialogue between different actors, it was possible to arouse interest of the health professionals regarding ethnic and cultural issues and give visibility to the indigenous people at the University. Moreover, it can be a first step towards the construction of optional interdisciplinary disciplines and the insertion of the topic in undergraduate school curricula in the health area.

title: Factors Associated with Burnout Syndrome in Multiprofessional Residents

description: Abstract: Introduction: Multiprofessional health residents deal with high stress daily, harming patient care, which can cause emotional and interpersonal reactions that contribute to the development of Burnout Syndrome, thus disclosing the importance of identifying the at-risk conditions for the syndrome and possible protection. The objectives of this study were to describe the occurrence of burnout, its impairment dimensions and the association with sociodemographic characteristics in multiprofessional residency professionals. Method: This is a descriptive research with a quantitative approach, conducted with multiprofessional health residents from public hospitals located in a capital of the Midwest region of Brazil. The ISB - Burnout Syndrome Inventory - was employed, using six indices (Positive Organizational Conditions, Negative Organizational Conditions, Emotional Exhaustion, Emotional Distancing, Dehumanization and Professional Achievement), associated with the assessment of sociodemographic characteristics such as gender, marital status, profession, previous work, change of city, living alone, having children, getting another degree, enjoying what you do in your free time, practicing physical activity, having a religion, undergoing a therapeutic process. The logistic regression method was used to verify the association between these characteristics and the diagnosis of burnout syndrome. A total of 134 residents participated in the survey. Results: The results showed that Emotional Exhaustion is present in 91% of participants; Emotional Distance in 89.6%; Dehumanization, in 61.9%; Professional Achievement in 11.2%; Positive Organizational Conditions, in 85.1%; and Negative Organizational Conditions, n 82.1%. A positive association was observed between taking simultaneous courses, male gender and living alone. Conclusion: It is observed that the practice of therapy can reduce the chance of developing the syndrome and it is concluded that there is a high prevalence of burnout syndrome in the assessed group, with it being a response to stress defined by the presence of exhaustion, distancing and dehumanization. Despite these results, the perception of professional achievement remains independent of stress.

title: Apprehension and Understanding of the Health Needs Concept for Students of an Active Curriculum

description: Abstract: Introduction: The 2001 National Curriculum Guidelines value the biopsychosocial aspects of the health-disease process and student accountability through training and active performance in health services. This study was carried out at a college in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, which has the concept of health needs as a theoretical guide. To understand the experience of medical and nursing students in relation to the concept and operationalization of the integrated curriculum. Theoretical-practical developing of the relationship between students and other health actors was carried out to identify reasons for the divergence in the understanding of the theoretical framework between them, providing subsidies to identify these inequalities in the context of teaching. Methods: 33 students from the aforementioned courses were interviewed. The study was performed using the methodological framework of Grounded Theory and theoretical context of health needs. The semi-directed interviews were recorded, transcribed in full and coded line by line, according to the microanalysis process. The codes were grouped into elements, subsidies for the creation of categories. Results: There were five emerging categories: (1) “Understanding that there are differences in approach between the groups of the Systematized Educational and Professional Practice Units and between the educational units, with difficulties for effective theoretical-practical articulation”; (2) “Identifying that there is a discrepancy in learning and experiences of the concepts of health needs among students”; (3) “Understanding that the apprehension of health needs is more effective when theory is associated with practice and vice versa”; (4) “Assimilating that the concept of health needs is related to the extension of the integrality of care focus” and (5) “Recognizing the link as essential in the school years and teaching-learning scenarios to identify health needs and practical care success”. These constitute the theoretical model: “According to the student’s perspective, the apprehension and understanding of health needs depend on the theoretical-practical articulation in the different groups of students and teaching-learning scenarios, having as essential elements the link and the integrality of care”. Final considerations: For the effective apprehension of students’ health needs, discontinuity of learning and discrepancies in how it is conducted must be avoided, a process that depends on links and comprehensive care in order to be viable.

title: Mental Health Treatment prior to University Admission: Experience of a Student Support Service

description: Abstract: Introduction: Data published in literature point to an increased frequency of psychological distress among medical students. However, the causes or potentially contributory factors for this scenario are not completely understood. Understanding these factors is essential for planning a support service that welcomes, identifies, monitors and, if necessary, guides the student with mental suffering. Methods: We evaluated the pre-university admission mental health treatment report on medical students at the Federal University of Minas Gerais who sought care at the Psychopedagogical Support Center. These data, as well as demographic data and the reasons that led the student to seek the service were obtained from an enrollment form filled out by the student. Results: A total of 87 students (47 males, mean age 23.3 years) were received support from the NAPEM in the year under study. Of those, 42 (48.3%) were in the first two years of the course, 24 (27.6%) in the 3rd/4th year and 21 (24.1%) in the 5th/6th year. Mental Health treatment prior to university admission was reported by 53 (60.9%) students: 37 (42.5%) reported the use of psychoactive drugs and 16 reported psychotherapies without the use of medication. Mental Health treatment and medication prior to university admission were significantly more frequent (p = 0.04 and p = 0,04, respectively) among students in the first two years of the course than among those in other years. No statistically significant differences in relation to the average age (p = 0.06), distribution by sex (p = 0.87), origin (p = 0.68) or type of housing in Belo Horizonte (p = 0.96) were found when comparing those who had undergone psychic treatment with those who had not. Anxiety, depression/depressive symptoms and mood swings were reported by 59 (67.8%) students as reasons to seek help. Problems related to the course were reported by five (5.7%) students. Conclusion: The results of the present study suggest that Mental Health treatment prior to university admission may be one of the factors that contribute to the medical student’s mental suffering during the course.
