title: Therapeutic itineraries in medical education: a device for teaching Public Health in times of pandemic

description: Abstract: Introduction: The implementation of innovative pedagogical strategies in medical training is the discipline of this experience report. It aims to present the systematization of Therapeutic Itineraries (TI) and the production of Singular Therapeutic Projects (STP) for users of the Brazilian Unified Health System as a learning tool for the teaching of Public Health. Experience report: created based on the experience of teachers and monitors involved with this training in the undergraduate Medical School of Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, between the years 2017 and 2019. The TIs were initially considered from a perspective restricted to the description and analysis of the organization of the health care network (HCN), the access and flows in the services. Based on the debates, contents and production of the STPs, the TIs were revisited in order to contribute to students’ understanding of the relationship between the broader social structure and the individuality of people, their needs and the health care processes. Discussion: The experience, as proposed in its formulation, allowed the articulation of theoretical and practical fields and was a tool that articulated the different programmatic contents proposed in the Discipline of Public Health II. It has also become a viable pedagogical strategy in the real circumstances of offering the discipline, in a context in which Public Health can be more present in professional training. Conclusion: The action-reflection-action process allowed, at first, to recognize the Health Care Network, a structural component of the system. Based on the construction of the STP and the debate on the lines of comprehensive care, it was possible to qualify the analysis. The systematization of TI is a theoretical-methodological approach consolidated in health research and was a tool that showed to be effective for the teaching of Public Health and for learning about the practices and reconfiguration of the work of teachers and monitors on the discipline and, therefore, a permanent education strategy for both students and those responsible for their training.

title: Singular Therapeutic Project in the management of complex cases: experience report in PEW-Health Interprofessionality

description: Abstract: Introduction: The Program Education through Work for Health (PEW-Health) was created in 2008 as a partnership between the Ministries of Health and Education, promoting the teaching-service-management-community integration, providing opportunities for professionals, students, teachers, and service users, in line with the needs of SUS, and having the topic of interprofessionality for its ninth edition (2019-2021). This report aims to share interprofessional learning based on the experience of a singular therapeutic project (STP) for a complex case within the PEW-Health activities of a university in the Midwest region, carried out in a Family Health Unit (FHU) in the municipality of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). Experience report: Students from a tutorial group of PEW-Health Interprofessionality participated in this experience, as well as preceptors, professionals from the Extended Nucleus of Family Health and Primary Care (ENFH-PC), and a tutor, who was a teacher in a Medical School. The STP was developed with an elderly patient with polypharmacy and the following chronic conditions: diabetes mellitus (DM), depression (DEP) and systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), monitored during the period from August 2019 to February 2020, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, in a FHU in Campo Grande-MS, selected by the team due to the complexity of the case. Discussion: Through the STP, the group had the opportunity to evaluate, assist and perform practices to strengthen the patient’s “happiness project”. The STP allows team-patient intersubjectivity, focusing not only on the diseases, but on who they are. The carried-out home visits provided moments of listening for the performance of care in accordance with the needs, perceived and not perceived by the user. In the practice of STP, comprehensive care is provided, focused on the individual, showing the potential in continuing education and interprofessional teamwork, sharing knowledge, improving the sustainability of care and, consequently, qualifying health care, corroborating the results obtained in this study. Conclusion: Participation in the program allowed experiences that were previously absent during undergraduate school, such as contact with different health courses, practice in real SUS scenarios and application of concepts seen only in theory, such as humanized care and a comprehensive view, as well as communication with the team and the patient.

title: Empathy in medical students: effects of a stress management program

description: Abstract: Introduction: The undergraduate medical course exposes students to a significant amount of stress, which can have negative consequences for learning, motivation and contact with patients. Lack of empathy in the doctor-patient relationship can hinder adherence and treatment results. Some techniques and practices of integrative medicine (mind and body) have been indicated as aiding the management and reduction of stress. These interventions that involve meditation practices, and which are already used in medical schools, can help in the development of empathy and in the vision of comprehensive care. Objective: Investigate the effect of the Stress Reduction and Empathy Development in Medicine Program (REDEMED©) on empathy levels in undergraduate medical students. Method: The program consisted of eight 2-hour sessions with practices involving meditation, yoga postures, and group activities aimed at improving interpersonal interactions. The intervention group consisted of 47 students and the control group 40 students. Empathy was evaluated before and after intervention using the Jefferson Scale of Empathy - version for medical students (JSE-S). Result: Empathy level significantly increased in the group who received intervention compared to the control group (p: 0.000). Conclusion: Participation in the REDEMED© program showed an increase in empathy in undergraduate medical students.

title: Training in Medical Residency: the preceptors’ view

description: Abstract: Introduction: Medical residency is a specialization established as the gold standard for the training of specialists. It is a transformative professional phase for the young physician, aimed at improving the quality of medical training. By fostering the resident’s training while providing assistance to the users, the preceptor becomes a type of interlocutor between teaching and assistance. This professional needs to encourage their residents to develop their clinical and ethical sense, and it is generally reported that the preceptors are not trained for their teaching duties. Objective: to analyze the preceptors’ experiences and understandings related to the teaching activity in medical residencies. Method: Descriptive and quantitative study, consisting of 300 preceptors, of all age groups and genders, from Maceió, Alagoas. A questionnaire created and validated by Girotto was applied, containing 35 statements, divided into five factors, with emphasis on the preceptors’ opinions on several topics involving their activities. The percentages of positive and negative perceptions about each statement were analyzed. Results: There was a predominance of positive perceptions about the aptitude for educational activities (88.67%), development of theoretical-practical correlations in preceptorship (96%), perception of the need for learning (98.33%) and updating (87%). There was also a positive perception related to the presence of essential resources for teaching activities (71%); additionally, 91% of the preceptors reported that preceptorship integrates the resident into their team. However, it is noteworthy the fact that preceptorship constitutes non-remunerated work (75.34%), as well as the non-performance of pedagogical training (72%). Conclusion: The preceptors are part of an adequate environment for their teaching activities, with appropriate physical structure, in addition to support from the management and the institution. They feel able to teach, but in general they have not received teaching training. The residents are adequately incorporated into the residency environment, improving the service. However, overall, the preceptors are not paid for this work.

title: On death and dying: perceptions of medical students in Northern Brazil

description: Abstract: Introduction: Death is a universal phenomenon that remains significantly debatable, and although there is still a tendency to avoid the topic, it is an important element in the health-disease process. Thus, grief and perceptions of death become more complex, especially for individuals unprepared to face death, which is recurrent in the social and professional environment of medical practice. Objectives: To evaluate views on death, the dying process and mourning among medical students at the Federal University of Amapá (UNIFAP). Methods: This is a cross-sectional, exploratory and descriptive study using a mixed, qualitative and quantitative method. The sample consisted of students from the “Emotions in the Health / Illness / Death Process” module of the UNIFAP Medical School, who answered a sociodemographic questionnaire regarding their experience with death and perceptions about the death process and dying. For the quantitative data, descriptive statistics were processed, and for the qualitative data, the Bardin Content Analysis method was used to form semantic groupings which were used for comparison between groups. Tagclouds were used to summarize answers according to importance and frequency. Results: There was an understanding of death as a natural process in 55.6% of the sample, and, regarding coping strategies for bereavement, 7.4% reported not having any strategies, whereas 24.1% use problem-solving, 22.2% self-confidence, and 20.4% accommodation, as their usual coping strategy. Furthermore, 35.2% revealed academic-professional preparation, in addition to emotional preparation to deal with the situation of a patient dying, whereas 51.9% and 50% directly revealed academic-professional and emotional unpreparedness, respectively. In this regard, the emotions of sadness, anguish and missing were the most linked to death, the process of dying and bereavement, considering the frequency of mentions by the students. Conclusions: Overall there was a greater perception of unpreparedness in the face of death. The analysis of the evoked unconscious showed emotions such as sadness and anguish associated with death, dying and bereavement. Thus, it is essential that the subject of dying and death be approached in a continuous and periodic manner, with practical association, throughout medical education.

title: Perception of internship preceptors on the influence of models on medical education

description: Abstract: Introduction: Professionalism is the basis of social contract which legitimizes medicine as profession, and it can be developed through interaction with good professional models. As preceptor, health professionals have, among their attributes, to accompany students while developing his/her care function, thus becoming a model to form future professionals. Objective: This article aims to verify internship tutors’ perception on models’ influence on their medical training at the University Hospital of Vassouras (HUV). Method: This is an exploratory qualitative research, whose methodology consisted of two stages. The first comprised a structured questionnaire about sociodemographic data, while the second contemplated the accomplishment of an online focus group on the digital zoom platform. Result: From 42 preceptors invited to participate, 28 actually participated, representing 75.6%. Data analysis evidenced the importance attributed by preceptors to their role as educators not only for the training of future doctors technically qualified to exercise humanized medicine, but also for professionals endowed with ethical principles, values and commitments. Conclusion: It was concluded that preceptors exercise their role with great pleasure and commitment, self-perceiving that they are models of professionalism and that they can represent positive or negative examples for students. It is also noteworthy that the professionalism theme needs to be made explicit in the construction of curricula, rather than being restricted to the hidden curriculum in education.
