ABSTRACT
OBJETIVO: O artigo propõe uma matriz de competências essenciais para valorização e intencionalidade dos percursos acadêmicos e como referência de processos avaliativos dos estudantes. METODOLOGIA: O estudo apresenta delineamento quanti-qualitativo. Após revisão integrativa da literatura e pesquisa documental, foi elaborada e consolidada a versão inicial. O teste piloto com 12 professores, membros do Colegiado de Graduação do curso médico da UFMG, contribuiu para ajustes do documento. A validação da matriz foi orientada pela metodologia Delphi, com avaliação docente individual, por via eletrônica e utilização da ferramenta Googledocs. RESULTADOS: Houve consenso entre os 112 professores avaliadores para aprovação da matriz, composta por seis grandes domínios - profissionalismo; relacionamentos interpessoais e comunicação; atenção integral à saúde da pessoa; organização de sistemas de saúde e atenção em saúde pública; gestão do conhecimento; conhecimento médico -, 28 subdomínios e 204 descritores dos conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes essenciais na formação do médico, durante sua graduação. CONCLUSÕES: Considera-se que a matriz contribuirá na qualificação da formação médica e na certificação das competências para o atendimento adequado às demandas de saúde, dentro de padrões de excelência técnica e responsabilidade social.
AIMS: This paper proposes the construction of a Matrix of Core Competencies, essential to the value and intent of academic record and as a reference for student evaluation processes. METHODOLOGY: The study relies on both quantitative and qualitative analysis. A review of the literature and documental analysis provided the basis for the first draft of the matrix. Evaluation and revision of the draft were done through a pilot test involving 12 professors, members of the Undergraduate Faculty of the UFMG School of Medicine. The matrix was validated using a Delphi method, including individual faculty evaluation, with the use of the Googledocs web-tool. RESULTS: There was full agreement among the 112 evaluators in the approval of the final matrix that addresses 6 main skill domains - professionalism; interpersonal skills and communication; comprehensive human health care; health systems and public health care organization; knowledge management; medical knowledge - 28 sub-domains and 204 descriptors of the subjects, skills and attitudes essential to undergraduate medical education. CONCLUSION: We believe the matrix will provide a valuable contribution toward enhancing medical education quality and setting the standards and skills required for medical care that is technically sound and fulfills its social responsibility.
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop core competency of midwife practices to improve midwifery education, national examination and clinical practices. METHOD: Literature and document review and internet search and survey were used. 127 registered in the Korean Midwifery Association midwives by structured instrument were surveyed to analyze midwife's practices and work situation. RESULT: Midwifery education program has to be either a post graduate or a graduate program for people with nursing license. Midwifery practice has to be extended to a lifelong health care of all women including non-pregnant women, not just a health care of pregnant women and newborns. Thus, a primary health care of women, laws/ethics, and management skills were included in the core competencies of midwifery practice considering the international trend of future-oriented and extended role of a midwife. Also, newborn care and ability to cope with emergency situations were emphasized based on the midwife's opinion.
