ABSTRACT

Resumo: Introdução: A atuação ativa do profissional médico em conjunto com o farmacêutico pode auxiliar na garantia de uma efetiva, segura e conveniente farmacoterapia. Para que esses profissionais atuem de maneira colaborativa, é necessário que, durante o processo formativo, os estudantes de Farmácia e Medicina desenvolvam competências clínicas para assegurar um serviço clínico de qualidade, com respeito pela atuação e adequada convivência com outros profissionais. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos descrever a autoavaliação dos discentes de Medicina e Farmácia em relação às suas competências clínicas, compreendendo suas diferenças e similaridades, e avaliar o desenvolvimento destas durante a graduação. Método: Trata-se de um estudo educacional realizado de maneira remota entre agosto de 2020 e agosto de 2021. Os participantes eram discentes de Farmácia e Medicina de uma instituição pública de ensino. Realizaram-se entrevistas individuais, e aplicaram-se instrumentos de autoavaliação de competências clínicas. Resultado: Participaram da pesquisa 39 discentes: 18 (46,2%) de Farmácia e 21 (53,8%) de Medicina. Os estudantes de Farmácia avaliaram-se positivamente quanto às atividades relacionadas às competências clínicas, salvo a implementação de um plano de cuidado e a identificação de pacientes em risco de doenças prevalentes. Quanto ao currículo, o curso avaliado possui três disciplinas que abordam o desenvolvimento de competências clínicas. Dessas, os discentes relataram ter desenvolvido conhecimento científico, atualização do conhecimento científico e comunicação efetiva. Os estudantes de Medicina avaliaram-se positivamente em relação às suas competências clínicas, com exceção daquelas relacionadas ao diagnostico diferencial, à discussão com equipe de saúde e à identificação de falhas no sistema de saúde. O currículo do curso apresenta 11 disciplinas voltadas para o cuidado, e os alunos associaram disciplinas de cunhos sociais ao cuidado centrado na pessoa. As competências desenvolvidas destacadas foram empatia, compaixão, integridade e respeito, comunicação efetiva e anamnese, e obtenção de informações socioculturais. Ademais, os estudantes de ambos os cursos relataram contato escasso com outros profissionais de saúde. Conclusão: Os discentes avaliados apresentam diversas inseguranças, principalmente relacionadas às habilidades clínicas que exigem prática. Apesar disso, os estudantes de Medicina demonstraram maior apreensão de soft skills, o que pode facilitar a criação de vínculos com os pacientes e resultar na qualidade do cuidado.


Abstract: Introduction: The active role of the medical professional together with the pharmacist can help to guarantee an effective, safe, and convenient pharmacotherapy. For these professionals to work collaboratively, it is necessary that, during the training process, Pharmacy and Medicine students develop skills to ensure a quality clinical service, with respect for their performance and adequate coexistence with other professionals. Objective: This study aimed to describe a self-assessment of the Medicine and Pharmacy records in relation to their technical skills, their differences and similarities, as well as to assess their development during a program. Method: Educational study carried out remotely between August 2020 and August 2021. The participants were Pharmacy and Medicine students from a public teaching institution. Individual interviews were carried out and instruments for self-assessment of clinical competences were applied. Result: A total of 39 students participated in the research: 18 (46.2%) from Pharmacy and 21 (53.8%) from Medicine. Pharmacy students evaluated themselves positively regarding activities related to clinical competences, except for the implementation of a care plan and the identification of patients at risk of prevalent diseases. As for the curriculum, the evaluated course has three subjects that address the development of clinical competences. Of these, the students reported having developed scientific knowledge, updated scientific knowledge and effective communication. Medical students evaluated themselves positively in relation to their clinical competences, apart from those related to differential diagnosis, discussion with the health team and identification of failures in the health system. The course curriculum features 11 disciplines focused on care, and the students' associated disciplines of a social nature with person-centered care. The most outstanding skills developed were empathy, compassion, integrity and respect, effective communication and anamnesis and obtaining sociocultural information. In addition, students from both courses reported little contact with other health professionals. Conclusion: The evaluated students have several insecurities, mainly related to clinical skills that require practice. Despite this, medical students showed greater apprehension of soft skills, which can facilitate the creation of bonds with patients and result in the quality of care.

ABSTRACT

A presente pesquisa tem como foco a graduação do farmacêutico. Com o intuito de estudar o mercado educacional do curso de Farmácia, buscou-se analisar a oferta de cursos e vagas desta profissão, a legislação pertinente ao ensino superior do Brasil e do ensino em farmácia, além da atualização da DCN pertencentes a este curso. As justificativas para realização deste estudo estão baseadas em quatro argumentos interligados, como a importância da formação de recursos humanos para saúde, as mudanças ocorridas no perfil curricular desse curso nos últimos anos, o papel das instituições de ensino privado e o aparecimento e crescimento da modalidade EAD, sendo observadas as tendências para o mercado de formação dessa categoria profissional. Trata-se de estudo descritivo e exploratório utilizando uma abordagem quali-quantitativa com associação de duas estratégias metodológicas: a combinação de pesquisa bibliográfica e narrativa sobre as características e tendências da formação do farmacêutico em nosso país, e a coleta de dados através do site do e-MEC. Os resultados da pesquisa junto ao site do e-MEC evidenciaram um total de 811 cursos de Farmácia divididos em 752 presenciais tanto em instituições públicas quanto privadas; já na modalidade EAD, foram encontrados 59, todos em instituições privadas. Em janeiro de 2021 foram ofertadas 107.786 vagas na modalidade presencial e 194.433 EAD, totalizando 302.219 vagas. Considerando a organização acadêmica dos cursos presenciais, a pesquisa encontrou a maior parte em faculdades totalizando 273; O mercado educacional para o curso de farmácia teve sua expansão durante os anos 1930 juntamente com políticas voltadas para o crescimento do setor farmo-químico no país. Nos últimos anos, ocorreram inúmeras mudanças nas políticas de ensino superior, como o crescimento da oferta de vagas em IES privadas com incentivos do governo federal como o FIES e o PROUNI. Este período foi marcado pelo crescimento acelerado do número de cursos, vagas, modalidades de ensino e matrículas, além da diversidade de instituições que pertencem ao sistema de ensino superior do Brasil. O ensino à distância ganhou visibilidade com o avançar da globalização e a criação de novas tecnologias voltadas para a educação. As mudanças no setor educacional permitiram mostrar a importância de pesquisar a formação de recursos humanos, a necessidade de políticas, diretrizes e estratégias que atendam à população e aos serviços de saúde, evitando assim a escassez de recursos humanos para o setor saúde, garantindo o acesso universal e integral como proposto na Lei no 8.080. A pandemia do COVID-19 destacou a importância do farmacêutico em relação ao uso racional de medicamentos e de uma formação qualificada que possa garantir a assistência farmacêutica.


The focus of this study is on pharmacist graduation. To analyze the educational market for the Pharmacy course, we looked at the supply of courses and places in this field, as well as the regulations governing higher education in Brazil and pharmacy education, as well as the DCN for this degree. The study's justifications are based on four interconnected arguments, including the importance of human resources training for health, changes in the curricular profile of this course in recent years, the role of private educational institutions, and the emergence and growth of distance education, as well as trends in the training market for this professional category. This is a descriptive and exploratory study that uses a quali-quantitative approach and combines two methodological strategies: a combination of bibliographic and narrative research on the characteristics and trends of pharmacist education in our country, as well as data collection through the e-MEC website. The survey found a total of 811 Pharmacy courses, divided into 752 face-to-face courses in both public and private institutions, and 59 distance learning courses, all in private institutions, on the e-MEC website. In January 2021, 107,786 on-site places and 194,433 distance learning vacancies were available, amounting 302,219 places. During the 1930s, the educational market for pharmacy courses grew in line with policies aimed at expanding the pharmochemical sector in the country. There have been several changes in higher education regulations in recent years, such as the increase of vacancies in private HEIs with federal government incentives like FIES and PROUNI. The number of courses, vacancies, education modalities, and enrollments increased rapidly throughout this period, as did the diversity of institutions that make up Brazil's higher education system. With the advancement of globalization and the introduction of new educational technology, distance learning has become more visible. The changes in the educational sector highlight the importance of studying human resource formation, as well as the need for policies, guidelines, and strategies that benefit the population and health services, avoiding a human resource shortage in the health sector and ensuring universal and integral access, as proposed in Law 8.080. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the necessity of pharmacists in terms of medication rationalization and specialized training that can ensure pharmaceutical assistance.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT OBJETIVE To evaluate the skills and practices of pharmacy staff during the dispensing of tramadol (drug with fiscalized substance) in drugstores and pharmacies in Medellin, Colombia. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed. The simulated patient technique was used. The main outcomes included the information provided on the dispensed drug (tramadol), the use of tools to provide information, and the information provided on drug precautions and use recommendations. RESULTS We visited 305 drugstores and pharmacies. The average dispensing time was 2.3 min (SD 1.1 min). In nine drugstores and pharmacies (3.0%), tramadol was not dispensed because it was not in stock. In 17 drugstores and pharmacies (5.7%), the simulated patients were actively informed by the dispensing pharmacy staff; of these, 16 provided oral information and one provided oral and written information. Eight patients (2.7%) received information regarding tramadol use. However, 99% of patients were not informed about tramadol side effects such as dependence, sedation, or hypnosis, and none of the simulated female patients were informed on the precautions related to tramadol use during pregnancy or lactation. CONCLUSIONS Communication skills and appropriate practices of pharmacy staff are critical to patient self-care. However, this study shows their difficulty in counseling about precautions and use recommendations of drugs with fiscalized substances. These outcomes could inform future studies focusing on the rational use of these drugs in drugstores and pharmacies. It is necessary to improve the pharmacy staff competencies through continuing education programs, to facilitate access to information and training.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: O crescimento da educação a distância (EaD) no Brasil tem sido cada vez mais intenso, inclusive em cursos da saúde. OBJETIVOS: Realizar análise comparativa da "Gincana" nas modalidades presencial e a distância. Em 2012, a "Gincana" foi desenvolvida a distância, sendo denominada "Gincana Virtual". MÉTODOS: Equipes foram formadas e tarefas eram formuladas e trocadas entre elas, sendo avaliadas a construção da tarefa, factibilidade, pertinência de conteúdo e resposta. A gincana foi aplicada na modalidade a distância no primeiro semestre 2012 (n=40) e presencial no segundo semestre do mesmo ano (n=42). Foi respondido um questionário final de avaliação, considerando: Metodologia, Material, Tarefas e Considerações. Ainda foi avaliado o desempenho entre as modalidades. RESULTADOS: A "Gincana" apresentou diferença significativa, sendo preferida pelos alunos na modalidade presencial. Conforme os comentários dos alunos, o uso do Fórum síncrono como forma de interação é inovador, porém pode dificultar a interação e o dinamismo da atividade. Por outro lado, incentiva a participação da turma, devido ao fato da EaD diminuir a exposição do aluno. Houve um melhor desempenho acadêmico, na média, na modalidade presencial. CONCLUSÃO: As gincanas promovem um aumento da atenção e da concentração dos estudantes por conta da competição, portanto, a ferramenta de interação da "Gincana Virtual" deve ser interativa e dinâmica, assim como ocorre no presencial.


INTRODUCTION: The growth of distance education (DE) in Brazil has been increasingly intense, including in health courses. OBJECTIVE: To do a comparative analysis between the modalities about assessment of activity and academic performance. "Scavenger Hunt" was developed in Distance Learning (DL) mode in 2012, called "Virtual Scavenger Hunt". METHODS: The "Scavenger Hunt" was applied in DL mode in the first 2012 semester (n=40) and face-to-face in the second semester (n=42). The class was divided into two teams, for the first time the teams formulated tasks and the second time the tasks were exchanged between them. The students answered a final discipline assessment survey, considering Methodology, Collateral, Tasks and Considerations. Yet was assessed the academic performance between the two modes. RESULTS: "Scavenger Hunt", as the Methodology andthe Task was a significant difference, with a preference for the face-to-face kind. As for the comments of the students, the use of synchronous Forum as a means of interaction is innovative, but can cause confusion and slow to update, hindering the interaction and dynamism of activity. On the other hand, it makes the Class participation higher because DL reduces exposure of the student. There was a better academic performance, on average, in the face-to-face mode. CONCLUSION: The educational games promotes increasing students' attention and concentration because of the competition, so the interaction tool "Virtual Scavenger Hunt" should be interactive and dynamic, as well as in the face-to-face class.

ABSTRACT

A radiofarmácia é a área da ciência responsável pelas substâncias radioativas utilizadas na terapia ou diagnóstico médico. Entre os profissionais que atuam nesta área, destaca-se o farmacêutico, que possui a responsabilidade técnica das empresas produtoras deste tipo de fármaco. Devido à importância deste profissional, este estudo teve por objetivo analisar a grade curricular dos cursos de farmácia de instituições de ensino superior - IES do sul do Brasil (Paraná, Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul), somente aquelas certificadas pelo Ministério da Educação - e-MEC, com vistas a identificar quais instituições oferecem disciplina especifica e/ou similar de radiofármacos. As grades curriculares foram obtidas via internet através do site de cada instituição. Das cinquenta e seis IES consultadas, apenas cinco oferecem uma disciplina específica na sua grade curricular que aborda a aplicação da radioatividade na área farmacêutica, sendo elas o Centro Universitário Metodista, Universidade Federal de Pelotas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná e Universidade Federal do Paraná. Não foram avaliadas as ementas, pois não estavam disponíveis online. Dentre estas apenas três IES apresentaram carga horária mínima de 40 horas, que possibilita o registro do profissional pela Comissão Nacional de Energia Nuclear (CNEN) sem a necessidade de prestar o exame obrigatório realizado pela CNEN.


Radiopharmacy is an essential and integral part of nuclear medicine. Preparation of reactive substances has to be carried out by competent professionals, who must be able to demonstrate knowledge of all areas of the specialty. Given the responsibilities of the pharmacist, this study aimed at analyzing the curriculum of the college of pharmacy at Universities of the Southern Brazil offering the discipline of radiopharmacy (or similar). The curriculum of pharmacy institutions in Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul states, certified by the Ministry of Education site (e-MEC) was obtained from the website of each institution and evaluated. From the 56 universities found, only five have a specific discipline of radioactivity in the pharmaceutical area in their curriculum. They are Methodist University, Federal University of Pelotas, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, PUC-Paraná and Federal University of Paraná. Only three institutions presented 40 hours of lessons, the minimum required to the registration of the professional by the National Commission of Nuclear Energy.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the benefits and risks of using Mexican pharmacies by better understanding the sociodemographics and medication needs of pharmacy clients in Ciudad Juárez; and to ascertain the role and expertise of pharmacy clerks and their impact on medication use. METHODS: Cross-sectional study of a convenience sample of 32 pharmacies in Ciudad Juárez conducted in August 2007-January 2008. Medical professionals interviewed 230 pharmacy clients and 25 pharmacy owners and clerks, and observed 152 clerk-client interactions. The cost of the most frequently-purchased medications was compared with pricing at pharmacies in El Paso, Texas, United States. RESULTS: Of the 311 medications purchased, the most frequent were: antibiotics (54), analgesics (49), fixed drug combinations (29), and blood pressure medications (26). Only 38% were purchased with a prescription; 62% of the prescription drugs bought without a prescription were self-prescribed. Many products purchased were of limited therapeutic value, and others could be harmful when used inappropriately. Pharmacy clerks were poorly trained and did not offer appropriate information on drug use; contraindications were never discussed. Contrary to popular perception, some generic drugs were cheaper in the United States than in Mexico. Conflicts of interest were identified that could be leading to over-medication. CONCLUSIONS: While the risks are evident, some uninsured, chronically-ill United States residents may benefit from access to medications previously recommended by a physician, without obtaining a new prescription. The authors suggest five steps for reducing the risks and improving pharmaceutical utilization in the border area.


OBJETIVO: Determinar los beneficios y riesgos que supone acudir a farmacias mexicanas mediante una mejor comprensión de los datos sociodemográficos de los clientes de las farmacias de Ciudad Juárez y sus necesidades de medicamentos; y evaluar la función y pericia de los auxiliares administrativos de farmacia y su repercusión sobre el uso de los medicamentos. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio transversal de una muestra de conveniencia de 32 farmacias de Ciudad Juárez entre agosto del 2007 y enero del 2008. Los profesionales médicos entrevistaron a 230 clientes y 25 propietarios y auxiliares administrativos de las farmacias, y observaron 152 interacciones entre los auxiliares administrativos y los clientes. Se compararon los precios de los medicamentos adquiridos con mayor frecuencia con los de las farmacias de El Paso, Texas, Estados Unidos. RESULTADOS: De los 311 medicamentos adquiridos, los más frecuentes fueron antibióticos (54), analgésicos (49), asociaciones de medicamentos a dosis fijas (29) y antihipertensivos (26). Solo 38% de los medicamentos se compraron con receta; 62% de los medicamentos de venta con receta que se adquirieron sin ella eran automedicados. Muchos de los productos comprados tenían un valor terapéutico limitado y otros podían ser nocivos si se utilizaban de forma inadecuada. Los auxiliares administrativos de farmacia estaban mal capacitados y no ofrecían información adecuada sobre el consumo de medicamentos; nunca abordaban las contraindicaciones. Contrariamente a la percepción popular, algunos medicamentos genéricos resultaron ser más baratos en los Estados Unidos que en México. Se identificaron conflictos de intereses que podrían estar dando lugar a la sobremedicación. CONCLUSIONES: Aunque los riesgos son evidentes, algunos residentes de los Estados Unidos que padecen enfermedades crónicas y carecen de seguro médico pueden beneficiarse del acceso a medicamentos prescritos previamente por un médico, sin obtener una receta nueva. Los autores proponen cinco pasos para reducir los riesgos y mejorar la utilización de las farmacias en la zona fronteriza.
