Escuta, afeto e amorosidade: etnografia sobre a construção de um cuidado na rua / Listening, affection and amorousness: ethnography on the construction of care on the street / Escucha, afecto y amorosidad: etnografía sobre la construcción del cuidado en la calle

O objetivo foi identificar elementos das práticas de cuidado de duas equipes de Consultório na Rua, localizadas no município do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Parte-se da ideia de que práticas de saúde devem ser construídas a partir de um habitus, defendido por Pierre Bourdieu. Esta pesquisa de cunho antropológico utilizou a etnografia como método para a apreensão dos dados e a sua análise seguiu a proposta da análise de domínio. A narrativa permeou espaços de cuidado com escuta qualificada e acolhimento, com identificação de afeto e amorosidade como elementos constituintes do cuidado à população de rua. Conclui-se que o cuidado se constrói na rua, na "horizontalidade", ao se colocar no lugar do outro, no estar junto, com acolhimento, escuta, afeto e amorosidade

The objective was to identify elements of the care practices of two Consultório na Rua teams, located in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It starts from the idea that health practices must be built from a habitus, defended by Pierre Bourdieu. This anthropological research used ethnography as a method for capturing data and its analysis followed the proposal of domain analysis. The narrative permeated care spaces with qualified listening and user embracement, with identification of affection and amorousness as constituent elements of care for the homeless population. It is concluded that care is built on the street, in "horizontality", in putting oneself in the other's place, in being together, with user embracement, listening, affection and amorousness

The relationship between covid-19 burnout and the moral sensitivity of healthcare professionals

This study aimed to examine the relationship between the burnout of physicians and nurses and their moral sensitivity during the pandemic. This was a descriptive and correlational study. This study was carried out with physicians and nurses who were continuing to work actively during the pandemic. Snowboard sampling method was utilized. The total mean score of the participants on the MSQ was 90.78±19.10. The total mean score of the COVID-19 Burnout Scale was 34.52±9.65. A statistically weak and significant correlation was found between the COVID-19 Burnout Scale and the MSQ total score, as well as the "benefit" and "conflict" sub-dimensions. It was determined that as MSQ total scores, "benefit" and "conflict" scores decreased in healthcare workers, COVID-19 burnout scores increased. In our study, the moral sensitivity of the participants was found to be moderate, and their burnout levels were found to be high. Although there was a weak relationship, it was observed that burnout levels increased as moral sensitivity levels increased. It is crucial that we learn from pandemic experiences and transfer this knowledge to future generations. In particular, we must assimilate these important lessons into training in order to develop and protect the moral sensitivity of healthcare professionals.

Este estudio pretendía examinar la relación entre el burnout de médicos y enfermeras y su sensibilidad moral durante la pandemia. Se trató de un estudio descriptivo y correlacional, y se llevó a cabo con médicos y enfermeras que seguían trabajando activamente durante la pandemia. Se utilizó el método de muestreo de Snowboard. La puntuación media total de los participantes en el MSQ fue de 90,78±19,10. La puntuación media total de la Escala de Burnout COVID-19 fue de 34,52±9,65. Se encontró una correlación estadísticamente débil y significativa entre la Escala de Burnout COVID-19 y la puntuación total del MSQ, así como las subdimensiones "beneficio" y "conflicto". Se determinó que, a medida que disminuían las puntuaciones totales del MSQ y las puntuaciones de "beneficio" y "conflicto" en los trabajadores sanitarios, aumentaban las puntuaciones de burnout de la COVID-19. En nuestro estudio, se observó que la sensibilidad moral de los participantes era moderada y que sus niveles de burnout eran elevados. Aunque existía una relación débil, se observó que los niveles de burnout aumentaban a medida que lo hacían los de sensibilidad moral. Es crucial que aprendamos de las experiencias pandémicas y transmitamos estos conocimientos a las generaciones futuras. En particular, debemos asimilar estas importantes lecciones en la formación para desarrollar y proteger la sensibilidad moral de los profesionales sanitarios.

Esse estudo objetivou examinar a relação entre o burnout de médicos e enfermeiras e sua sensibilidade moral durante a pandemia. Esse era um estudo descritivo e correlacional. Esse estudo foi realizado com médicos e enfermeiras que continuaram trabalhando ativamente durante a pandemia. O método da amostragem em snowboard foi utilizado. A média total dos participantes no MSQ foi 90,78±19,10. A média total na Escala de Burnout pela COVID-19 foi 34,52±9,65. Uma correlação fraca e significante foi encontrada entre os escores totais na Escalas de Burnout pela COVID-19 e MSQ, assim como nas subdimensões "benefício" e "conflito". Determinou-se que como os escores totais na MSQ e os escores "benefício" e "conflito" diminuiram em trabalhadores de cuidados à saúde, os escores de burnout pela COVID-19 aumentaram. Em nosso estudo, a sensibilidade moral dos participantes foi considerada ser moderada e seus níveis de burnout considerados serem altos. Embora tenha havido uma correlação fraca, foi observado que os níveis de burnout aumentaram quando os níveis de sensibilidade moral aumentaram. É essencial que aprendamos das experiências com a pandemia e passemos esse conhecimento para as futuras gerações. Em particular, nós devemos assimilar essas importantes lições em treinamentos, de forma a desenvolver e proteger a sensibilidade moral de profissionais de cuidados à saúde.

A equipe de saúde diante do paciente não aderente ao tratamento / The health team in face of the patient not adhering to treatment / El equipo de salud ante el paciente que no se adhiere al tratamiento

O objetivo deste estudo foi refletir sobre os efeitos da não adesão ao tratamento para a equipe de saúde e sobre as ações/reações da equipe que podem causar a não adesão ao tratamento. A amostra foi composta por 10 profissionais de saúde. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi uma entrevista semiestruturada. O material coletado foi submetido à análise temática, e discussão foi baseada na psicanálise. Como resultado, verificou-se que os profissionais relacionaram a não adesão às carências percebidas nos pacientes. Também foi identificada a presença de um ciclo de encaminhamentos, o qual, por vezes, significava uma tentativa de eliminar um incômodo (a não adesão), mas, em contrapartida, o causava. Verificou-se também a presença de confusão entre cuidado e controle, produzindo relações permeadas por desconfiança, verificação e correção. Percebeu-se, ainda, relação entre não adesão e frustração, seja porque o tratamento é insuficiente para evitar o sofrimento do paciente, seja pelo desconforto advindo da não cooperação do paciente. Ao final, como efeitos para a equipe, evidenciou-se a presença de profissionais envolvidos por um discurso de frustração, desvalorização e impotência. Como efeitos da equipe, verificou-se que profissionais também podem produzir aquilo de que se queixam, pelos lugares subjetivos que delineiam e cristalizam. A partir disso, problematiza-se o sentido que a não adesão pode assumir, e é importante considerá-la como um sinal que pode revelar os percalços (e as possíveis resoluções) do contrato relacional entre paciente e equipe.(AU)

The objective of this study was to reflect about the effects of non-adherence to the treatment for the health team and about the actions/reactions of the team that may can cause the non-adherence to the treatment. The sample consisted of 10 health professionals. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured interview. The material collected was submitted to thematic analysis, and the discussion was based on psychoanalysis. As a result, it was verified that the professionals related non-adherence to needs perceived on patients. The presence of a referral cycle was also identified, which, sometimes, meant an attempt to eliminate a nuisance (the non-adherence) but, instead, caused it. It was also verified the presence of confusion between care and control, producing relations permeated by distrust, verification, and correction. The link between non-adherence and frustration was also observed, either due to the treatment being insufficient to avoid the suffering of the patient; or by the discomfort from the non-cooperation of the patient. At the end, as effects for the team, professionals involved by a discourse of frustration, devaluation, and impotence were evidenced. As effects of the team, it has been found that professionals can also produce what they complain about, by the subjective places that were delineate and crystallize. Thus, we problematize the meaning non-adherence may assume, and considering it a signal that can reveal the mishaps (and possible resolutions) of the relational contract between patient and team is important.(AU)

El objetivo de este estudio fue reflexionar sobre los efectos de la no adherencia al tratamiento para el equipo de salud y sobre las acciones/reacciones del equipo que pueden causar la no adherencia al tratamiento. La muestra estuvo conformada por diez profesionales de la salud. El instrumento de recolección de datos fue una entrevista semiestructurada. El material recolectado fue sometido a análisis temático, y se utilizó el psicoanálisis para discutir el material. El resultado constató que los profesionales entendieron la no adherencia como una carencia/necesidad de los pacientes. También se identificó la presencia de un ciclo de derivación, que a veces significó un intento de eliminar una molestia (falta de adherencia), pero que puede generar el problema. También se verificó la presencia de confusión entre cuidado y control, produciendo relaciones permeadas de desconfianza, verificación y corrección. También se observó el vínculo entre la no adherencia y la frustración, ya sea porque el tratamiento es insuficiente para evitar el sufrimiento del paciente o por la incomodidad que produce la falta de cooperación del paciente. Al final, como efectos para el equipo, se evidenciaron profesionales envueltos por la frustración, la devaluación y la impotencia. Como efectos del equipo, se constató que los profesionales también pueden producir lo que quejan desde los lugares subjetivos que fueron delineados y cristalizados. Así se discute el sentido que puede asumir la no adherencia, y es importante considerarla como señal de los percances (y posibles resoluciones) del contrato relacional entre paciente y equipo.(AU)

Advance Directives Document: knowledge and experiences of healthcare professionals in Colombia / Documento Voluntades Anticipadas: conocimientos y experiencias de los profesionales de la salud en Colombia

Abstract Introduction: The Advanced Directives Document (ADD) is a bioethical quality benchmark for healthcare and assurance of compliance with the rights of autonomy, self-determination and dignity of the patient. This document was established over the past decade and currently there is no evidence about the attitudes and knowledge of the healthcare professionals with regards to the use of this tool in clinical practice in Colombia. Objective: To describe the knowledge and experiences of healthcare professionals members of six Colombian Scientific Societies regarding the right to sign an ADD and explore the barriers to its applicability in clinical daily practice. Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted using an anonymous and voluntary e-survey with the participation of six Colombian Medical Societies. A questionnaire was designed comprising five groups of variables: general, ADD knowledge, medical experiences and personal experiences regarding advanced directives and potential obstacles to its implementation. Results: 533 professionals participated in the survey. 54 % (n = 286) expressed their lack of awareness about the fact that there is law governing the ADD in Colombia; 34.33 % (n = 183) said they were familiar with the requirements of the document. Over the last year, 24 % of the professionals received one or more ADDs from their patients. Only 11.7 % of healthcare practitioners had themselves completed an ADD. 77.1 % of the professionals surveyed believe that the number of individuals with an ADD has not changed after the approval and regulation of the right to an advanced directives document. 86.6 % of the practitioners said they respected the ADD, notwithstanding the fact that the patient could benefit otherwise. Conclusions: The overall perception of healthcare professionals with regards to the number of ADDs signed by patients is that the number has not changed after the approval of the Law in Colombia. This study evidenced that medical practitioners have a poor knowledge about the ADD and that there is a need to educate healthcare professionals about the ADD and to promptly implement institutional programs about Planning of Advanced Directives (PAD). Both strategies are challenging for the applicability of AD in Colombia.

Resumen Introducción: El Documento Voluntades Anticipadas (DVA) es un referente bioético de calidad de atención en salud y garantía de cumplimiento de los derechos de autonomía, autodeterminación y dignidad de los pacientes. Este documento fue reglamentado en la última década, y actualmente, no existe evidencia sobre las actitudes y conocimientos de los profesionales de la salud sobre el uso de esta herramienta en la práctica clínica en Colombia. Objetivo: Describir los conocimientos y experiencias de los profesionales de la salud pertenecientes a seis sociedades científicas colombianas frente al derecho de suscribir el DVA e investigar sobre las barreras para la aplicabilidad del DVA en la práctica clínica diaria. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, realizado mediante encuesta electrónica anónima y voluntaria en seis sociedades médicas colombianas. Se diseñó un cuestionario compuesto por cinco grupos de variables: generales, conocimiento de DVA, experiencias médicas y experiencias personales sobre voluntad anticipada y posibles limitaciones para su aplicación. Resultados: Participaron 533 profesionales. El 54 % (n = 286) afirmó no saber que existe la ley que regula el DVA en Colombia; un 34,33 % (n = 183) manifestó conocer los requisitos que debe cumplir dicho documento. En el último año, el 24 % de los profesionales recibió de sus pacientes uno o más DVA. Solo el 11,7 % de los profesionales de salud tenía un DVA elaborado. El 77,1 % de los encuestados perciben que el número de personas con DVA sigue igual después de aprobado y reglamentado el derecho de DVA. El 86,6 % de los profesionales de salud aseguraron respetar el DVA, aunque el paciente pueda beneficiarse de lo contrario. Conclusiones: La percepción general de los profesionales de la salud sobre el número de DVA suscrito por los pacientes sigue igual después de reglamentada la Ley en Colombia. Este estudio permitió evidenciar que los profesionales de la salud poseen poco conocimiento sobre el DVA. Es indispensable capacitar a todos los profesionales de salud sobre el DVA y la pronta implementación institucional de programas sobre Planificación de Decisiones Anticipadas (PDA). Ambas estrategias constituyen un desafío para la aplicabilidad de las VA en Colombia.

A partir desses pressupostos, foi desenvolvido um desenho de curso para capacitação pedagógica na modalidade a distância para supervisores de estágio.

Abstract: Introduction: Curricular internship supervised by professors and professionals from services linked to the Unified Health System. Objective: To understand the pedagogical needs of internship supervisors in the occupational therapy course and the desirable characteristics of an internship supervisor, from the student perspective. Method: Cross-sectional and exploratory study of a qualitative nature, using thematic content analysis, comprising three stages: pre-analysis, exploration of material with treatment of results. Twenty-four internship supervisors and fifteen students from the occupational therapy course participated in the study, using two online semi-structured forms, one for supervisors and one for students. Results and Discussion: For the supervisors, the presence of the student in the service contributes to exchanges in the daily work, and instigates the preceptor to seek more knowledge, but they expect greater recognition of the supervisor's performance and considered it important to have a continuous flow for training in teaching service professionals, in particular on performance evaluation and innovative practices. Students expect to find supervisors who make significant contributions to their learning in a safe way, through professional experience. Conclusion: The study revealed the pedagogical needs of internship supervision, the importance of training for teaching in services, and the importance of welcoming and monitoring students with guidance throughout the learning process. Based on these assumptions, a course design was developed for remote pedagogical training for internship supervisors

In-hospital interventions to promote relational practice with families in acute care settings: A scoping review

Relational practice is characterised by genuine interaction between families and healthcare professionals that promotes trust and empowerment. Positive clinical outcomes have been associated with relational practice. To assess and examine in-hospital interventions designed to promote relational practice with families in acute care settings of emergency departments, intensive care units and high care units. The preferred reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines informed the design of this scoping review. To identify relevant studies, databases (Academic Search Complete; CINAHL; PubMed; PsyInfo) and the search engine Google Scholar were searched using terms for core elements of relational practice and family engagement. Of the 117 articles retrieved, eight interventional studies met the search criteria. The interventions focused on relational practice elements of collaborating with and creating safe environments for families, whilst only one addressed healthcare professionals being respectful of families' needs and differences. In relation to the nature of engagement of families in interventions, the focus was mainly on improving family functioning. Family engagement in the interventions was focused on involving families in decision-making. The scoping review revealed a limited number of in-hospital interventions designed to promote relational practice with families in acute care settings. Further research is encouraged to develop such interventions. Contribution: The scoping review has highlighted specific elements of relational practice that have been overlooked in the mapped interventions. This provides guidance on where future interventional research may be focused.

Ações na área da sexualidade adolescente sob a perspectiva do programa Saúde na Escola: visão dos profissionais de saúde / Actions in the area of adolescent sexuality under the perspective of the school health program: the health professionals' perspective

Buscou-se analisar a visão dos profissionais de saúde acerca das ações promovidas pelo Programa Saúde na Escola, no âmbito da sexualidade na adolescência. Estudo de abordagem qualitativa, exploratório e descritivo, realizado com 12 agentes comunitários de saúde, dois enfermeiros e um médico que atuavam na Unidade de Saúde da Família do Bairro Dom José Rodrigues, em Juazeiro, Bahia. Realizado através de entrevista semiestruturada com amostra qualitativa do tipo não-probabilística, intencional, por exaustão. Os depoimentos foram analisados por meio da análise de discurso. A temática sexualidade na adolescência ainda traz estigmas que não foram rompidos pelos profissionais de saúde, dificultando a abordagem com os adolescentes. Atrelado a isso, a escassez de capacitações torna o programa de cunho curativo, baseado no modelo biomédico em saúde. Apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas, os profissionais de saúde apontam possibilidades, embora reconheçam que não possuem preparo e que há deficiência na assistência das gestões. A parceria entre escola e unidade de saúde proposta pelo programa oportuniza o acesso do adolescente ao conhecimento e cuidados com a sua saúde, tornando-o um sujeito capaz de adotar posturas responsáveis.

We sought to analyze the view of health professionals about the actions promoted by the School Health Program within the scope of sexuality in adolescence. Study of qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approaches, conducted with 12 community health workers, 02 nurses, and 01 doctor who worked in the Family Health Unit of the neighborhood Dom José Rodrigues, in Juazeiro, Bahia. It was conducted through semi-structured interviews with a qualitative, non-probabilistic, intentional, and by exhaustion sample. The interviews were analyzed through discourse analysis. The theme of sexuality in adolescence also brings stigmas that were not broken by health professionals, making it difficult to address with adolescents. Coupled with this, the lack of training makes the program curative, based on the biomedical model of health. Despite the difficulties, health professionals point out opportunities, although they recognize their lack of preparation and that, by management, there is a failure in the assistance. The partnership between the school and the health unit proposed by the program gives adolescents access to knowledge and care of their health, making them subjects capable of adopting responsible attitudes.

Corpo "educado": atuação pedagógica de professores de Educação Física em academias de ginástica / "Educated" body: pedagogical acting of Physical Education teachers in gyms / Cuerpo "educado": actuación pedagógica de los profesores de Educación Física en los gimnasios

Os profissionais de saúde pautam-se em saberes técnico-científicos atrelados à racionalidade biomédica para exercer sua atuação como educadores e interventores. Nos estabelecimentos de práticas corporais, especialmente nos espaços fitness, sabe-se que há uma educação biologizante do corpo por parte daqueles que ministram as aulas e atividades do treinamento. Nesse ensaio, objetiva-se, portanto, analisar e problematizar como professores de Educação Física enquanto profissionais de saúde educam o corpo nas academias de ginástica. Esse artigo analisa em que medida a intervenção em saúde desses professores através dos exercícios físicos das academias leva em consideração questões sociais ou fatores exclusivamente biológicos de seus frequentadores.

Health providers draw on technical-scientific knowledge tied to the biomedical rationality to develop their work as educators and intervenors. It is known in the body practices settings, especially in fitness spaces, that there is a biologizing education of the body by those who conduct the lessons and the practicing activities. This essay is aimed to analyze and question how Physical Education teachers, as health providers, educate the body in gyms. This paper analyses in what extent these teachers' intervention in health by means of physical exercises in gyms takes in consideration social issues or biological factors of their attendees only.

Los profesionales de la salud se guían por los conocimientos técnico-científicos vinculados a la racionalidad biomédica para ejercer su papel de educadores e intervinientes. En los establecimientos de prácticas corporales, especialmente en los espacios de fitness, se sabe que hay una educación biologizante del cuerpo por parte de quienes imparten las clases y las actividades de entrenamiento. En este ensayo, el objetivo es, por lo tanto, analizar y problematizar cómo profesores de Educación Física mientras profesionales de salud educan el cuerpo en los gimnasios. Este artículo analiza en qué medida la intervención en salud de estos profesores a través de los ejercicios físicos de los gimnasios tienen en cuenta las cuestiones sociales o factores exclusivamente biológicos de sus frecuentadores.

Atendimento em Saúde à Pessoa com Deficiência e a Formação Inicial do Profissional de Saúde: o que Há rntre Nós?1 / Health Care for the Person with Disability and the Initial Training of the Health Professional: what Is Between Us?1

RESUMO: O processo de formação do profissional de saúde tem se modificado na busca de educar profissionais com uma visão integral e que proponham mudanças na sociedade. Dentro desse contexto, a saúde da pessoa com deficiência merece destaque, tendo em vista que essas pessoas têm mais barreiras de acessos aos serviços prestados por esses profissionais, tais como dificuldade de comunicação, empatia do profissional, barreiras arquitetônicas, instrumentais, entre outras. Logo, este estudo objetiva analisar como duas universidades públicas discutem a saúde da pessoa com deficiência dentro do currículo do profissional de saúde. Para isso, analisaram-se projetos pedagógicos de oito cursos de Saúde. Concluiu-se que os projetos analisados não garantem uma formação integral no que tange à atenção à saúde da pessoa com deficiência.

ABSTRACT: The process of training the health professional has changed in the search to educate professionals with an integral vision and who propose changes in the society. Within this context, the health of people with disabilities deserves to be highlighted, given that these people have more access barriers to the services provided by these professionals, such as communication difficulties, professional empathy, architectural, instrumental barriers, among others. Therefore, this study aims to analyze how two public universities discuss the health of the person with disability within the curriculum of the health professional. For this, we analyzed pedagogical projects of eight health courses. We concluded that the projects analyzed do not guarantee an integral training regarding the health care of the person with disability.

Seroprevalencia de Bordetella pertussis en el personal de enfermería y médicos residentes del Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez / Seroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis in pediatric healthcare workers at the Hospital Infantil de México Federico Gómez

Resumen Introducción Bordetella pertussis es el agente causal de la tosferina, una enfermedad de alta letalidad, especialmente en menores de 6 meses, pero prevenible mediante la vacunación. Los reportes en hospitales de brotes de tosferina muestran que el caso índice suelen ser personas adultas. En adultos, la enfermedad se manifiesta principalmente con tos persistente. El propósito de este estudio fue conocer la seroprevalencia de B. pertussis en el personal de salud de un hospital pediátrico en un país donde aún no se considera la vacunación obligatoria para los empleados. Métodos Participaron personal de enfermería y médicos residentes en trato directo con pacientes hospitalizados. A cada participante se le realizó detección de anticuerpos inmunoglobulina G, antitoxina de pertussis (anti-TP) y se le aplicó un cuestionario para datos clínicos y demográficos. Resultados Se incluyeron 93 individuos, el 85% de personal de enfermería con mediana de edad de 35 años (rango intercuartil: 29-42.5). El 21.5% de los participantes laboraban en el Servicio de Urgencias, el 8.6%, en la Unidad de Terapia Intensiva Pediátrica, el 6.5%, en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos Neonatales. Se encontraron títulos detectables de anticuerpos anti-TP en el 18.3%, de los cuales, el 53% presentaron títulos de infección reciente y solamente el 23.5%, historia de tos de más de dos semanas de evolución. Conclusiones El personal de salud está en riesgo de sufrir la enfermedad y de transmitirla a los lactantes, quienes pueden fallecer por esta causa. Este estudio sugiere que las políticas actuales de vacunación en personal de salud se deben de modificar para determinar obligatoriedad de la vacuna, especialmente en quienes atienden a la población pediátrica.

Abstract Background Bordetella pertussis is the causative agent of pertussis, a disease that is preventable by vaccination but has a high mortality, particularly in children < 6 months. Reports of pertussis outbreaks in hospitals show that the index case is usually an adult. In adults, the disease manifests mainly with persistent cough. The purpose of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of B. pertussis in the health personnel of a pediatric hospital in a country where vaccination of this staff is not considered mandatory. Methods Nursing staff and resident doctors who were involved in direct treatment with hospitalized patients participated in the study. Each participant was screened for immunoglobulin G anti-pertussis toxin antibodies (anti-PT), and a questionnaire was applied for clinical and demographic data. Results Ninety-three individuals were included, of which 85% were nurses, median age 35 years (interquartile range: 29-42.5). The participants worked in the emergency department (21.5%), in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (8.6%), and in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (6.5%). Detectable titers of anti-TP antibodies were found in 18.3%, of which 53% presented titles suggestive of recent infection and only 23.5% cough > 2 weeks of duration. Conclusions Health personnel are at risk of suffering from the disease and be potential transmitters to infants, who may die from this cause. This study suggests that the current vaccination policies in health personnel should be modified to determine the compulsory nature of the vaccination, especially in those individuals in charge of the care of the pediatric population.

Healthcare Professional's Perception and Attitude toward Pharmacist during Pharmacy Visit in Saudi Arabia

Purpose: To explore the healthcare professional’s perception and attitude toward pharmacist during pharmacy visit in Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a 4-month cross-sectional survey of the healthcare professional’s perception toward pharmacist. The survey consisted of two parts: the first part collects demographic information and the second part has 49 questions divided into four domains: (1) the first domain captures information regarding healthcare professionals’ general perception of the pharmacist; (2) the second domain is regarding healthcare professionals’ perception of pharmaceutical care services; (3) the third domain is about healthcare professionals’ perception of visiting ambulatory care pharmacy; and (4) the fourth domain is regarding healthcare professionals perception of pharmacist’s relationship and counseling skills. All type of healthcare professionals included in the study. We used the 5-point Likert response scale system to obtain responses of the participants. There were open- and close-ended questions. The survey was distributed through social media, namely, WhatsApp to more than one thousand healthcare professionals throughout the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The survey was distributed in an electronic format and this study analyzes and presents data regarding domain three, that is, healthcare professionals’ perception of visiting ambulatory care pharmacy through the Survey Monkey system. Results: A total of 170 healthcare professionals responded to the survey. Of them, 150 (93.8%) were Saudi and 10 (6.25%) were non-Saudi professionals. There were 129 (75.9%) female and 41 (24.1%) male responders. Most of the healthcare providers were pharmacists (81 (47.65%)), others (33 (19.41%)), nurses (27 (15.88%)) and physician (23 (13.53%)). Most of the healthcare professional visited the pharmacy in the past 12 months (53 (31.36%)) for more than 10 times, whereas the others 40 (23.67%) visited at least 5–9 times. Most of the patients (143 (87.2%)) spent less than 16 min waiting for the medication from the pharmacy. The average score of healthcare professional’s general perception toward a pharmacist during pharmacy visit was 3.51. The statement “received all medications prescribed to me” received the highest score (4.05), whereas the statement “pharmacy’s waiting area is located at the convenient place” received the lowest score (3.07). The average score of healthcare professional’s perception toward a drug monitoring pharmacist during the pharmacy visit was 2.58. The statement with the highest score was “the patient revived a copy of prescription contained medications” (2.99), whereas the statement with the lowest score was “the pharmacist gives follow-up call to the patient as prescribed” (1.86). The score for general evaluation of pharmacy visit was (3.31) with preference to visit the pharmacy or recommend it to patient’s bothers or friends was (3.26). Conclusion: The healthcare professional’s perception of a pharmacist during the pharmacy visit was good. Pharmacy’s waiting area, medications reconciliation and adherences missed. Improving of healthcare providers’ needs will augment healthcare professional’s perceptions and raise healthcare provider’s satisfaction during pharmacy visit.

Simulation centers and pedagogical planning: two sides of the same coin / Centros de simulação e projeto pedagógico: dois lados da mesma moeda

AIMS: This article discusses the main issues related to the use and structuring of a simulation center, namely, logistics, use of resources and alignment between the pedagogical project and simulated activities. METHODS: A narrative literature review, with search in Web of Science, PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar databases, included articles published up to June 2017. RESULTS: Medical simulation has been implemented in the health courses for training and assessment. Because of this implantation, many simulation centers have been created, involving a high cost for the construction as well as the maintenance. Many of the simulation centers have a low acceptance from teachers and students, letting them underused, especially when the methodology is not correctly implemented. The simulation centers will become important when they are aligned with the pedagogical planning. Planning a simulation center is a timeconsuming task, which requires visiting another simulation center to avoid major adjustments afterwards. It is important to identify the target group and the usage of the simulation center on the pedagogical planning to define the number of users and the type of structure. Also, it is necessary to identify the type of simulators the simulation center will use. Faculty development and multiple disciplinary teams are required. The lack of faculty development is one of the reasons of the underuse of the simulation center. Besides faculty development, other ways of optimize the simulation center is research and partnership between medical school and hospital. Medical school will have funding opportunities and interaction with society. The hospital will qualify their employees and increase the safety of their patients. While conducting the budget, there is a need to consider all those points, since only the physical space and the simulators are not sufficient for a good simulation center. CONCLUSIONS: The integration between education, research and assistance, and the alignment with the pedagogical project are of utmost importance for the use of simulation in healthcare, and essential for the development of new training and knowledge.

OBJETIVOS: Discutir as principais questões relacionadas ao uso e estruturação de um centro de simulação: logística, aproveitamento dos recursos e alinhamento entre o projeto pedagógico e as atividades simuladas. MÉTODOS: Revisão narrativa da literatura, com busca nas bases de dados Web of Science, PubMed, SciELO e Google Scholar, incluiu artigos publicados até junho de 2017. RESULTADOS: A simulação médica tem sido inserida nos cursos da área de saúde tanto para treinamento quanto para avaliação. Com isso, houve um grande aumento de centros de simulação, os quais envolvem um alto custo tanto para sua infraestrutura geral e especificidades como para manutenção. Muitas vezes os centros de simulação têm uma baixa aceitação docente e discente, tornando-os subutilizados, principalmente quando a metodologia não é implementada adequadamente. O método será mais valorizado quando houver um alinhamento entre o projeto pedagógico e as atividades simuladas. O planejamento de um centro de simulação é uma tarefa árdua que exige estudo prévio, conhecimento sobre o currículo institucional, orçamento e visitas a outros centros já existentes para evitar grandes ajustes posteriores que potencialmente são difíceis e onerosos. Para um melhor aproveitamento logístico, é necessário inicialmente identificar o público alvo e a inserção curricular do método, para definir a quantidade de participantes, tipos de salas e tipos de simuladores. A capacitação docente e o envolvimento multiprofissional são necessários para o bom funcionamento do centro de simulação, sendo que um dos principais motivos para a sua subutilização é a falta de capacitação docente. Além de capacitar os docentes, outras formas para utilizar os centros de simulação estão relacionadas à pesquisa e à parceria entre escolas de medicina e serviços hospitalares. Nessa parceria, as instituições de ensino ganham oportunidades de financiamento e interação com a sociedade, enquanto os hospitais ganham qualificação e aumentam a segurança de seus pacientes. Todas essas questões devem ser consideradas quando o estudo orçamentário é realizado, pois apenas o ambiente físico e os simuladores não são suficientes para o aproveitamento do ambiente simulado. CONCLUSÕES: A integração entre educação, pesquisa e assistência, e o alinhamento com o projeto pedagógico, são de extrema importância para a utilização da simulação na área da saúde, e essenciais para o desenvolvimento de novos treinamentos e conhecimentos.

Trilhas possíveis para o enfrentamento da violência de gênero contra a mulher na atenção básica / Possible paths to combat gender-based violence against women in primary care

A violência de gênero contra a mulher é um problema social e de saúde pública, sendo a Atenção Básica um importante espaço para o seu enfrentamento devido a sua proximidade com as usuárias e o território. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa objetivou conhecer a percepção das (os) profissionais da saúde da atenção básica a respeito de situações de violência contra a mulher e identificar quais são as estratégias utilizadas diante deste problema. Para tanto, utilizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa com a realização de quatro grupos focais, com posterior análise das informações por meio da técnica da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados. A partir da análise emergiram as categorias: 1) Reconhecimento da violência de gênero contra a mulher, 2) Condutas frente à violência de gênero contra a mulher e 3) Rede de atendimento à mulher em situação de violência. As (os) profissionais reconhecem a presença desta violência, porém, nem sempre há investigação ou intervenção. Por outro lado, alguns profissionais exemplificaram estratégias para intervir e referiram efeitos desta interferência na redução dos episódios de violência. Os resultados apresentam algumas questões que direcionam estes posicionamentos e condutas e são importantes para a reflexão sobre as potencialidades da Atenção Básica frente a este tema, a partir da percepção que a capacidade de intervenção está no acolhimento, no vínculo e na constituição de rede de apoio.

Gender violence against women constitutes a social and public health problem, and Primary Care is an important space for the confrontation due to its proximity to the users and the territory. Thus, this research aimed to understand the perception of the health professional(s) of the primary care about violence situations against women and to identify the strategies facing this problem. Therefore, a qualitative research was carried out through four focal groups, with further analysis of the information through the technique of Data Based Theory. From the analysis categories came out: 1) Recognition of gender violence against women, 2) Conduct against gender-based violence against women and 3) Women's care network in situations of violence. The professionals recognize the presence of this violence; however, there is not always an investigation or intervention. On the other hand, some professionals exemplified strategies to intervene and reported the effects of this interference in the reduction of the violence episodes. The results show up some questions that guide these positions and behaviours and are important for the reflection on the potentialities of Primary Care in this area, from the perception that the intervention capacity is in the reception, in the bond and in the establishment of the support network.
