ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to assess an online collection of brief educational resources (videos, case studies, articles) for teaching a broad range of concepts relating to neuroscience in psychiatry. METHODS: A national sample of 52 psychiatrists enrolled in the study. Forty (77%) completed an assessment before and after having access to the educational resources for 4 weeks. Pre- and post-assessments were compared using paired t-tests. Fifteen participants were randomly selected to participate in a semi-structured interview. RESULTS: The mean knowledge score increased on a multiple-choice quiz from 46.9 to 86.4% (p < .01). Based on a 5-point Likert rating, participants reported significant gains in self-confidence in their ability to integrate a neuroscience perspective into their clinical work (p = .03) and to discuss neuroscience with their patients (p = .008). Participants rated the extent that they applied neuroscience concepts (such as neurotransmitters, genetics, epigenetics, synaptic plasticity, and neural circuitry) to their overall case formulation and treatment plan over the past typical work week and how often they discussed these elements with patients. Significant gains were noted across all elements (p ≤ .001). Overall satisfaction with the resources were high: participants agreed that the content was useful and relevant (100%) and the teaching resources were engaging (95%). On semi-structured interviews, participants appreciated the mixed teaching approaches and the brief format. Many commented on how the resources impacted their clinical practice. CONCLUSIONS: Brief online teaching resources may be an effective approach for enhancing neuroscience education among psychiatrists and may help facilitate the integration of neuroscience into clinical practice.

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.
Resumo: Introdução: O Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde (PET-Saúde) surgiu em 2008, numa parceria entre o Ministério da Saúde e o Ministério da Educação, com o propósito de fomentar a integração ensino-serviço-gestão-comunidade e oportunizar vivências para profissionais, estudantes, professores e usuários dos serviços, em consonância com as necessidades do SUS. A nona edição (2019-2021) do programa teve como tema a interprofissionalidade. Este relato objetiva compartilhar a aprendizagem interprofissional a partir da experiência de um Projeto Terapêutico Singular (PTS) para um caso complexo dentro das atividades do PET-Saúde de uma universidade da Região Centro-Oeste, realizado em uma unidade de saúde da família (USF), em Campo Grande, em Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). Relato de experiência: Participaram desta experiência acadêmicas de um grupo tutorial do PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade, preceptoras, profissionais do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família e Atenção Primária (Nasf-AP), e tutora, docente de uma Faculdade de Medicina. O PTS foi desenvolvido com paciente idosa, com polifarmácia, com as seguintes condições crônicas: diabetes mellitus (DM), depressão (DEP) e hipertensão arterial sistêmica (HAS). A paciente foi acompanhada durante o período de agosto de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020, anterior à pandemia da Covid-19, em uma USF, em Campo Grande-MS, selecionada pela equipe em virtude da complexidade do caso. Discussão: Por meio do PTS, o grupo teve a oportunidade de avaliar, auxiliar e executar práticas para fortalecer o "projeto de felicidade" da paciente. O PTS permite a intersubjetividade entre equipe e paciente, centrando-se não apenas nas doenças, mas também no indivíduo. As visitas domiciliares realizadas proporcionaram momentos de escuta para a condução do cuidado em conformidade às necessidades sentidas e não sentidas pela usuária. Na prática do PTS, presta-se cuidado integral, focado no indivíduo, de modo a apresentar as potencialidades na educação permanente e no trabalho em equipe interprofissional, compartilhar saberes, aprimorar a sustentabilidade do cuidado e, consequentemente, qualificar a assistência em saúde, corroborando os resultados obtidos nesta experiência. Conclusão: A participação no programa permitiu vivências antes ausentes na graduação, como o contato com os diferentes cursos da saúde, a prática nos cenários reais do SUS e a aplicação dos conceitos vistos apenas na teoria, como o atendimento humanizado e olhar integral, além da comunicação com a equipe e paciente.
