ABSTRACT

O objetivo deste trabalho foi levantar e analisar os processos de responsabilidade civil envolvendo cirurgiões-dentistas do estado do Piauí, entre os anos de 2015 a 2019, a fim de verificar o número de processos instaurados e suas características. Foram encontrados (n=11) processos referentes a pessoas físicas, sendo a especialidade mais incidente a Implantodontia. Em 63% dos dados, os requeridos não possuíam especialidade registrada no Conselho Federal de Odontologia na área envolvida no litígio. Os valores indenizatórios solicitados variaram de R$ 15.000,00 a R$ 101.985,00. Não houve acionamento de seguro de responsabilidade civil nos processos encontrados. A maioria dos processos foi instaurada nos últimos dois anos da realização da pesquisa e encontravam-se em trâmite, não permitindo a obtenção das sentenças. Conclui-se que houve um aumento do número de processos instaurados no último ano verificado, acompanhando uma realidade crescente e observada em todo o país


The objective of this study was to analyze the civil liability lawsuits against dentists in the Piauí State, Brazil, from 2015 to 2019, to verify whether there was a significant increase in their number in recent years, and to investigate their main features. Eleven lawsuits were found, and the most incident dental specialty was Implantology. In 63% of the lawsuits, the dentists had not registered their specialist title on the Brazilian Federal Council of Dentistry, in the area involved in the litigation. Restitution amounts ranged from R$ 15,000.00 to R$ 101,985.00. There was no triggering of civil liability insurances in any of the processes found. Most of the lawsuits initiated in the last two years and are still in progress, thus their judicial sentences were not obtainable. We concluded that there was an increase in the number of cases in the last year analyzed, in agreement with the reality observed throughout the country.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Service quality in anesthesiology has been frequently measured by morbidity and mortality. This measure increasingly considers patient satisfaction, which is the result of care from the client's perspective. Therefore, anesthesiologists must be able to build relationships with patients, provide understandable information and involve them in decisions about their anesthesia. This study aimed to evaluate the peri-anesthetic care provided by the anesthesia service in an ambulatory surgery unit using the Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire. Methods: This cross-sectional study used the Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire to evaluate 1211 patients undergoing ambulatory surgery. We selected questions that showed a greater degree of dissatisfaction and correlated them with patient characterization data (age, sex, education, and ASA physical status), anesthesia data (type, time, and prior experience), and surgical specialty. Results: Questions in which patients tended to show dissatisfaction involved fear of anesthesia and surgery, feeling cold, the urgent need to urinate, pain at the surgical site, and the team's level of concern and speed of response in relieving the patient's pain. Conclusion: The Heidelberg Peri-anaesthetic Questionnaire proved to be a useful tool in identifying points of dissatisfaction, mainly fear of anesthesia and surgery, feeling cold, the urgent need to urinate, pain at the surgical site, and the team's level of concern and speed of response in relieving the patient's pain in the population studied. These were correlated with patient, anesthesia, and surgical variables. This allows the establishment of priorities at the different points of care, with the ultimate goal of improving patient satisfaction regarding anesthesia care.

ABSTRACT

SUMMARY INTRODUCTION: We observe a growing global discussion about the practices considered "obstetric violence" against women during pregnancy and childbirth. Otherwise, the indiscriminate subjective and lay interpretation of the term "obstetric violence" can lead to a misunderstanding among medical professionals. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to describe the obstetrician's perceptions about the term "obstetric violence" and the medical groups affected negatively by the topic. METHODS: A cross-sectional study applied to Brazilian obstetrics physicians regarding their perceptions of "obstetric violence." RESULTS: From January to April 2022, we sent about 14,000 direct mail nationwide. A total of 506 participants responded. We observed that 374 (73.9%) participants consider the term obstetric violence nocive or harmful to professional practice. Furthermore, after Poisson regression, we described that the respondents who graduated before 2000 and from a private institution were significant and independent groups for the full or partial agreement that the term is nocive for the obstetricians in Brazil. CONCLUSION: We observed that almost three in four obstetrician participants consider the term "obstetric violence" nocive or harmful to professional practice, particularly in those who graduated before 2000 and from a private institution. The findings are relevant to propose further debates and strategies to mitigate the possible harms caused to the obstetrician team by the indiscriminate use of the term obstetric violence.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: discutir a prática denominada disclosure no cenário contemporâneo da segurança do paciente, incluindo no debate o respeito aos cuidados em saúde de pessoas idosas e os desafios existentes para a implementação do disclosure no contexto das organizações de saúde. Metodologia: tratou-se de revisão narrativa, que tomou por base referências, guias e documentos orientadores adotados na Austrália e documentos publicados pela Organização Mundial de Saúde, Ministério da Saúde e Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária que possuem ligação com o tema. A busca de referências bibliográficas deu-se pela plataforma Google Scholar, utilizando-se as seguintes palavras-chave: disclosure; dano; segurança do paciente; cuidados em saúde; e pessoas idosas. Resultados: a prática do disclosure está inserida na cultura de segurança do paciente em diversas instituições a nível internacional. No Brasil, contudo, não é uma prática reconhecida, nem mesmo nas normativas vigentes que visam a segurança do paciente. A literatura consultada demonstrou que, quando bem abordada, a comunicação aberta e honesta entre profissional da saúde e paciente, acerca de um dano ocorrido durante os cuidados, reduz conflitos e demandas judiciais. Conclusões: disclosure, como prática de comunicação, mostra-se relevante também para idosos, pois traz engajamento desses pacientes nas decisões inerentes a seus cuidados, promovendo seu direito à informação; trata-se, portanto, de importante ferramenta a ser utilizada em organizações hospitalares no Brasil, com vistas ao respeito a direitos e à segurança do paciente


Objective: to discuss the practice of disclosure in the contemporary scenario of patient safety, including respect for the health care of the elderly and the existing challenges to the implementation of disclosure in the context of health care organizations in the debate. Methods: this is a narrative review based on references, and guiding documents adopted in Australia, as well as documents published by the World Health Organization, the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the National Agency for Health Surveillance on this topic. Bibliographic references were searched through the Google Scholar platform using the following keywords: disclosure, harm, patient safety, health care, and the elderly. Results: the practice of disclosure is part of the culture of patient safety in several international institutions. However, in Brazil it is not an accepted practice, not even in the current patient safety regulations. The literature reviewed shows that open and honest communication between health professionals and patients about a harm that occurred during medical care reduces conflicts and lawsuits, if properly addressed. Conclusions: disclosure as a practice of communication is also important for older patients because it involves them in decisions about their care and promotes their right to be informed. Therefore, it is a valuable tool that should be used in hospitals in Brazil to preserve patients' rights and safety.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A linguagem entre os homens evoluiu ao longo da história. Comprometimentos de fala e linguagem podem acarretar em situação de vulnerabilidade comunicativa, influenciando na participação da pessoa no processo terapêutico e tomada de decisões clínicas. Objetivo: Investigar a percepção de futuros profissionais de medicina, fonoaudiologia e enfermagem quanto à comunicação com o paciente a partir de vivências nos campos de estágios. Método: Estudo transversal, descritivo e quantitativo, com amostra de 85 alunos. Para a coleta de dados utilizou-se questionário online. Resultados: Todos participantes consideraram importante, ou muito importante, a comunicação com o paciente. Para a maioria dos participantes de fonoaudiologia (84,8%) e de medicina (65,6%) a comunicação com os pacientes é efetiva, enquanto que os de enfermagem (55%) referiram certa dificuldade. 35% dos alunos de enfermagem e 28,1% dos de medicina informaram que não tiveram contato com pacientes não oralizados; 33,3% dos alunos de Fonoaudiologia responderam que, nesses casos, a comunicação é efetiva, pois eles utilizavam outras formas de comunicação. Todos consideraram que o não falar coloca o paciente em situação de vulnerabilidade. Conclusão: Os resultados evidenciam que a comunicação paciente-futuro profissional de saúde é considerada importante para todos os participantes. Os achados reiteram a importância da temática na graduação e da comunicação na relação paciente-profissional para o bem-estar de vida e saúde da pessoa, sendo essa questão responsabilidade da equipe e não apenas do fonoaudiólogo, tendo em vista uma formação e atenção integrada e humanizada.


Introduction: Communication between men has evolved throughout history. Speech and language impairments can lead to situations of communicative vulnerability, influencing the person's participation in the therapeutic process and making decisions. Objective: To investigate the perception of future professionals in medicine, speech-language pathology and nursing regarding communication with the patient from experiences in the internship fields. Methods: Cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study, with a sample of 85 students. .An online questionnaire was used for data collection. Results: For most students of speech-language pathology (84.8%) and medicine (65.6%), communication was effective, while nursing students (55%) claimed to feel some difficulty. 35% of nursing students and 28.1% of medical students reported that they had no contact with patients who do not speak, and speech-language pathology students (33.3%) answered that, in these cases, communication is effective, as they used other forms of communication. All considered that not speaking puts the patient in a situation of vulnerability. Conclusion: The results show that communication between patient and future health professional is considered important for all participants. The findings reiterate the importance of the theme in graduation and communication in the patient-professional relationship for the well-being and health of the person, this issue being the responsibility of the team and not only of the speech-language therapist, in view of an integrated and humanized care.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo: compreender de que forma a conduta do profissional de saúde influencia (ou não) os pais e/ou responsáveis na escolha pelo uso da língua de sinais após o diagnóstico de surdez. Método: estudo descritivo de abordagem qualitativa realizado com pais/responsáveis de crianças e adolescentes surdos. Coleta de dados mediante entrevistas, realizadas nos meses de outubro e novembro de 2021 na cidade de Maceió/AL - BR, os dados foram analisados conforme Bardin. Resultado: a língua de sinais não é a primeira alternativa sugerida aos pais como forma de comunicação dos filhos surdos, visto que os profissionais priorizam o uso do aparelho auditivo e o implante coclear, embora em muitas vezes sua eficácia seja questionada. Conclusão: o estudo contribui para a literatura sobre o tema que ainda é escassa, possibilitando discutir o papel privilegiado que o profissional de saúde possui para influenciar positivamente na vida de indivíduos surdos e suas famílias.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objectives: to validate and apply a change-of-shift instrument using the SBAR (Situation-Background-Assessment-Recommendation) tool. Methods: methodological study for the validation of an instrument. It was validated by ten judges from the area of nursing teaching and care and applied in a surgical gastroenterology ward by 11 nursing technicians in February 2019. The analyses considered descriptive statistics. Results: the judges analyzed the instrument with a content validity index of 91.7% and made suggestions, which led to the second version of the instrument. The participants reported that the predominant modality of shift handover is oral, in the nursing room, lasting six to ten minutes. Most pay attention during shift change, mention that delays and early departures interfere in the activity and believe that the instrument provides the necessary information and is viable. Conclusions: the instrument built was validated, and its application proved relevant, as it was considered necessary and feasible.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Introducción El uso del yo como herramienta terapéutica es una práctica centrada en el cliente y el pilar disciplinar con menor evidencia pedagógica en terapia ocupacional. En Chile, surgen asignaturas vivenciales, ligadas a métodos artísticos/lúdicos que buscan incidir en competencias del estudiante de pregrado para su desarrollo. Objetivo Analizar la experiencia de las estudiantes en relación a los aprendizajes, características y contribuciones de las asignaturas que aportan a la formación del uso del yo como herramienta terapéutica, en carreras de terapia ocupacional de universidades al sur de Chile. Método Investigación cualitativa, con diseño en teoría fundamentada de alcance exploratorio. El muestreo fue no probabilístico, intencionado, por criterio, conformado por quince estudiantes en etapa de internado profesional. La recolección de datos fue mediante dos grupos focales, previa firma de consentimiento informado. El análisis se realizó por método de comparación constante de Glaser y Strauss, utilizando el programa Atlas Ti para sistematizar la información. La rigurosidad científica fue cautelada por los criterios de Guba y Lincoln. Resultados Se identifican 530 unidades de significado, 30 códigos abiertos descriptivos, agrupados en ocho categorías axiales, emergiendo dos núcleos temáticos que abordan el "Proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en la formación del Uso del Yo" y el "Desarrollo profesional para el Uso del Yo". Conclusión Para los estudiantes las metodologías utilizadas contribuyen de manera relevante al desarrollo del autoconocimiento y competencias genéricas clave para el "Uso del Yo". Esta pedagogía se podría complementar con otras estrategias activas para asegurar la centralidad del usuario en la terapia ocupacional.


Resumo Introdução O uso de si como ferramenta terapêutica é uma prática centrada no cliente e o pilar disciplinar com menor evidência pedagógica em terapia ocupacional. No Chile, surgem disciplinas vivenciais, vinculadas a métodos artísticos/lúdicos que buscam contribuir as habilidades do aluno de graduação para seu desenvolvimento. Objetivo Analisar a experiência dos alunos em relação à aprendizagem, características e contribuições das disciplinas que auxiliam para a formação do uso de si como ferramenta terapêutica, nos cursos de terapia ocupacional em universidades ao sul do Chile. Método Pesquisa qualitativa, com delineamento da teoria fundamentada de alcance exploratório. A amostragem foi não probabilística, intencional, por critério, composta por quinze alunos em etapa de estágio profissional. A coleta de dados se deu por meio de dois grupos focais, após assinatura do consentimento informado. A análise foi realizada pelo método de comparação constante de Glaser e Strauss, utilizando o programa Atlas Ti para sistematizar as informações. O rigor científico foi resguardado pelos critérios de Guba e Lincoln. Resultados Foram identificadas 530 unidades de sentido, 30 códigos abertos descritivos, agrupados em oito categorias axiais, emergindo dois núcleos temáticos que abordam o "Processo de ensino-aprendizagem na formação do Uso de Si" e o "Desenvolvimento profissional para o uso de Si". Conclusão Para os alunos, as metodologias utilizadas contribuem de forma relevante para o desenvolvimento do autoconhecimento e das competências genéricas chave para o "Uso de Si". Essa pedagogia poderia ser complementada com outras estratégias ativas para garantir a centralidade do usuário na terapia ocupacional.


Abstract Introduction The use of the self as a therapeutic tool is a client-centered practice with the least evidence in the pedagogy of occupational therapy. In Chile, experiential subjects arise, linked to artistic/playful methods that seek to influence the skills of the undergraduate student for their development. Objective To analyze the experience of the students in relation to the learning, characteristics, and contributions of the subjects that contribute to the development of the use of the self as a therapeutic tool, in occupational therapy careers at universities in the south of Chile. Method Qualitative research, exploratory with a grounded theory design. The sampling was non-probabilistic, intentional, by criteria, of fifteen students in the professional internship stage. Data collection was through two focus groups, after signing informed consent. The analysis was carried out using the constant comparison method of Glaser and Strauss, using the Atlas Ti program to systematize the information. Scientific rigor was guarded by the criteria of Guba and Lincoln. Results 530 units of meaning are identified, 30 descriptive open codes, grouped into eight axial categories, emerging two thematic nuclei that address the "Teaching-learning process in the formation of the Use of the Self" and the "Professional Development for the Use of the Self". Conclusion For the students, the methodologies used to contribute in a relevant way to the development of self-knowledge and key generic competences for the "Use of the Self". This pedagogy could be complemented with other active strategies to ensure the centrality of the user in occupational therapy.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The Ethics Committees of medical associations define standards of conduct to avoid improper professional behavior. AIM: To identify the areas of professional behavior with most allegations of misconduct. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analysis of all ethical claims received at the Regional Ethics Court of the Chilean Medical Association between 2016 and 2021. RESULTS: Of 323 cases analyzed, 17% of complaints argued a failure in achieving a satisfactory standard of medical care, 15% unprofessional behavior, 14% disruptive interaction among physicians, 12% failure to fulfill therapeutic expectations, 6% poor quality of care, 6% fraud, 6% complains against institutions, 6% sexual misconduct, 6% inappropriate billing, 3% diagnostic errors, 3% inappropriate social behaviors, 1% refusal to provide a sick leave and 1% illegal practice. Only 41.5% of complaints were filed against registered physicians, thus limiting the capabilities of the medical ethical board. CONCLUSIONS: The most common complaints observed were professional misconduct and relationship problems between physicians.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: The aim was to adapt an instrument that evaluates the relationship between young individuals and health professionals to the Brazilian population, which will be called the Escala de Avaliação de Vínculo entre Jovens e Profissionais de Saúde (Youth Connectedness to Provider scale). Method: The questionnaire known as the Youth Connectedness to Provider scale consists of seven Likert-like questions. The translation, back-translation, evaluation by ten specialists, and pre-test with 43 adolescents and young adults aged between 10 and 24 years were performed to assess the clarity and reliability of meanings. The content validity index was calculated for each question. Subsequently, the clinical validation was performed with 83 patients aged 10-24 years old and Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated. Results: A content validity index >0.8 (considered satisfactory) was obtained for all items analyzed by experts and adolescents. At the clinical validation, it showed a high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.76). The questions showed a good correlation, except for the question about judgment (Spearman's rho = 0.03-0.19). Conclusions: The scale adaptation showed an adequate agreement rate at the translation evaluation and a good reliability index in the questions. This instrument provides information on strengths and topics that require more attention from professionals to improve the relationship with their patients; it can be a valuable parameter in assessing the medical consultation quality.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Este artigo busca analisar o acesso e a continuidade do cuidado em trajetórias assistenciais de mulheres através da identificação dos principais pontos de apoio na rede de atenção à saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada em uma região de saúde do Rio de Janeiro, a partir de entrevista semiestruturada com 21 mulheres para produção de suas trajetórias assistenciais. Os dados foram tratados por meio de análise de conteúdo e categorizados em quatro unidades temáticas: os agentes comunitários de saúde, identificados como o primeiro contato e facilitadores do acesso à rede; os profissionais de enfermagem, com quem se estabeleceram os mais fortes vínculos longitudinais e alguma possibilidade de continuidade do cuidado; o médico, que representava a expectativa de cura, mas onde os laços e a comunicação com as usuárias foram mais frágeis; e outros pontos de apoio, representados por atores intermediários (amigos, familiares, figuras políticas e outros) presentes ora como apoio, ora como facilitadores do acesso ao cuidado oportuno. O mosaico de trajetórias produzidas pelas mulheres na rede de atenção à saúde indicou fragilidades para garantia de acesso e continuidade do cuidado, mas também potências para a produção de intervenções e práticas que respondam a desejos e necessidades em saúde.


Abstract This article seeks to analyze the access and continuity of care in women's care trajectories through the identification of the main points of support in the health care network. This is a qualitative research, carried out in a health region of Rio de Janeiro, based on a semi-structured interview with 21 women to produce their care trajectories. The data were treated through content analysis and categorized into four thematic units: community health agents, identified as the first contact and facilitators of access to the network; nursing professionals, with whom the strongest longitudinal bonds and some possibility of continuity of care were established; the doctor, who represented the expectation of a cure, but where ties and communication with users were more fragile; and other points of support, represented by intermediate actors (friends, family, political figures and others) present at times as support, at times as facilitators of access to timely care. The mosaic of trajectories produced by women in the health care network indicated weaknesses to guarantee access and continuity of care, but also potencies to produce interventions and practices that respond to health wants and needs.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify and implement care and ambience strategies, with a view to hospital humanization. Method: Action-research study, whose investigation process occurred between January and March 2019, with the participation of employees in strategic functions of a medium-sized hospital, through a focus group and strategic focal analysis. The implementation of care and ambience strategies started in May 2019 and remains in progress, with the responsible and multiplying participation of professionals and patients. Results: 18 employees participated in the study. It was found that investigative processes accompanied by practical interventions, especially those related to the promotion of interactive, inclusive, care spaces and the creation of a ludic, attractive and interactive environment favor multi-professional actions, mobilize innovative knowledge and practices, and contribute to the (re)signification of the being and doing of the health professional. Conclusion: Care and ambience, with a view to hospital humanization, include the implementation of strategies designed with the responsible and multiplying participation of all actors (professionals and users) of the hospital. It is important that, in this process, everyone feels they are protagonists of new ways of being, living and doing in health.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Este artículo parte de dos iniciativas pedagógicas de "formación Paideia" con el propósito de analizar sus contribuciones en la producción de relaciones democráticas y en la coproducción del cuidado en atención primaria de la salud. La primera iniciativa realizó una capacitación en apoyo matricial (2015-2016) que reunió a 94 especialistas y, la segunda, una capacitación en salud familiar (2018-2020), que reunió a 149 profesionales. Los 243 profesionales de la salud participantes provenían de cinco municipios brasileños. Los resultados obtenidos a través de cuestionarios y diarios de campo elaborados durante los cursos señalan que la formación Paideia motiva a los profesionales a incorporar una clínica ampliada y el apoyo matricial en atención primaria de la salud, y propicia compartir el cuidado y la co-construcción de la autonomía junto a los usuarios. Sin embargo, aún son frecuentes las prácticas autoritarias de la gestión hacia las y los profesionales, entre profesionales, y desde las y los profesionales hacia las personas usuarias, de modo que es necesario invertir, más allá de la formación, en una mayor democratización de los servicios.


ABSTRACT This article looks at two pedagogical initiatives based on "Paideia Education" in order to analyze their contributions to the production of democratic relations and the co-production of care in primary health care. The first of these initiatives was a seminar on matrix support (2015-2016) that trained 94 specialists, and the second was a seminar on family care (2018-2020) that trained 149 professionals. The 243 participating health professionals came from five different municipalities in Brazil. The results obtained through questionnaires and field diaries kept during the seminars indicate that "Paideia Education" has the ability to motivate professionals to incorporate notions such as the expanded clinic and matrix support into primary health care, and fosters the sharing of care and the co-construction of autonomy with users. However, authoritarian management practices are still frequently directed towards professionals, practiced among professionals themselves, and directed towards patients, and therefore it is necessary to invest in a greater democratization of services beyond training.

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

Introducción: La pandemia por COVID-19 está generando cambios en las organizaciones de salud y en los profesionales sanitarios que se encuentran en primera línea de atención al paciente y deben tomar decisiones asertivas para que su liderazgo ante su equipo de trabajo sea efectivo ante cualquier situación. Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre el estilo de liderazgo y la actitud ante el cambio organizacional en profesionales con un enfoque sanitario - tecnológico durante la COVID-19. Métodos: Se realizó estudio descriptivo, prospectivo y correlacional que incluyó a 215 químico farmacéuticos colegiados y habilitados que laboran en el sector público y privado, y que tienen acceso a sistemas informáticos para realizar el proceso de gestión de suministro de medicamentos. La primera variable se midió mediante el Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) versión corta 5X, mientras que la segunda variable se midió a partir del cuestionario de actitud ante el cambio organizacional. Ambos instrumentos utilizaron la escala de Likert y fueron sometidos a validez y confiabilidad para adaptarlos al contexto peruano. Resultados: Los profesionales Químico Farmacéuticos presentaron un nivel medio en el estilo de liderazgo y en la actitud al cambio organizacional. Sin embargo, en el análisis inferencial, se encontró una relación directa y significativa entre las variables de estudio. Conclusiones: Los niveles moderados de estilos transaccional, transformacional, correctivo y pasivo/evitador se pueden mejorar para lograr un liderazgo óptimo que gestione las transformaciones con mejores niveles de aceptación y así evitar la resistencia al cambio organizacional(AU)


Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic is generating changes in health organizations and front-line healthcare workers, who should take assertive decisions so that their leadership in their work teams is effective in the face of any situation. Objective: Determine the relationship between leadership style and attitude toward organizational change among professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic, applying a health technology approach. Methods: A descriptive prospective correlational study was conducted of 215 qualified collegiate pharmaceutical chemists from the public and the private sectors who have access to information systems to conduct the drug supply management process. The first variable was measured with the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) 5X short form and the second with the questionnaire of attitude toward organizational change. Both tools applied the Likert scale and were evaluated for validity and reliability to adapt them to the Peruvian context. Results: Pharmaceutical chemistry professionals showed to have a medium level in both leadership style and attitude toward organizational change. However, inferential analysis revealed a direct significant relationship between the study variables. Conclusions: The moderate levels of transactional, transformational, corrective and passive / avoidant styles may be improved to achieve optimum leadership capable of dealing with transformations with better acceptance levels, preventing resistance to organizational change(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Com o propósito de compreender a situação da atenção farmacêutica em um sistema municipal de saúde, tomou-se como ponto de partida o estudo do grau de adesão e incorporação do paradigma profissional que orienta essa prática. Com um desenho qualitativo e de abordagem etnográfica, os critérios que orientaram essa investigação buscaram tipificar a variedade de cenários, motivações e procedimentos que se associam a esse exercício profissional. Esse recorte permitiu examinar se os movimentos que operam a atenção farmacêutica ainda constituem uma área de penumbra ou se já foi alcançada a concretude de um novo modelo de cuidado para a farmácia. Os resultados informam uma variedade de arranjos, desenhos construtivos e estrutura conceitual. Não há congruência nem na delimitação de seus componentes estruturantes. Todo esse cenário revela que ainda se está em uma fase de penumbra ou 'crise paradigmática', na qual o antigo paradigma ainda não foi totalmente abandonado ante a superioridade do novo. Isso se observa na ausência de uma interpretação padronizada capaz de revelar elementos recorrentes e compartilhados. Desse modo, o reconhecimento de uma realização exemplar, capaz de consolidar a maturidade e transição paradigmática da atenção farmacêutica, não foi encontrado.


ABSTRACT In order to understand the situation of pharmaceutical care in a municipal health system, we took as a starting point the study of the degree of adherence and incorporation of the professional paradigm that guides this practice. With a qualitative design and an ethnographic approach, the criteria that guided this investigation sought to typify the variety of scenarios, motivations and procedures that are associated with this professional exercise. This cutout allowed us to examine whether the movements that operate pharmaceutical care are still an area of darkness or the concreteness of a new care model for Pharmacy has already been achieved. The results inform a variety of arrangements, constructive designs, and a conceptual framework. There is no congruence or delimitation of its structuring components. The entire scenario reveals that we are still in a phase of twilight or ‘paradigmatic crisis’, in which the old paradigm has not yet been totally abandoned in the face of the superiority of the new one. This is observed in the absence of a standardized interpretation capable of revealing recurrent and shared elements. Thus, the recognition of an exemplary achievement, capable of consolidating the maturity and paradigmatic transition of pharmaceutical care, was not found.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the satisfaction with the dentist-patient interaction and factors associated with patient satisfaction among patients attending the outpatient dental clinic Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia (HUSM). Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 229 patients who attended outpatient dental clinic Hospital USM that located in the East Coast region of Malaysia. A self-administered Skala Kepuasan Interaksi Perubatan - 11 (SKIP-11) questionnaire was used to assess the satisfaction towards dentist-patient interaction. Systematic random sampling was applied in this study. The data were analyzed using simple logistic regression analysis to determine the factors associated with patient satisfaction with dentist-patient interaction. Results: The mean age of patients was 32.6 ± 13.9 years, 71.6% of them study up to tertiary level, 31.5% came to for dental check up and 23.6% of them had tooth decay. More than half (64.6%) of the patients were satisfactory with dentist-patient interaction. The satisfaction percentage in the distress relief domain was 60.7%, 56.8% in the rapport domain, and 53.7% in the interaction outcome domain. Satisfaction with dentist-patient interaction was significantly associated with the dentists' characteristics such as age (OR = 0.583, 95%CI 0.44-0.76, p=0.001), gender (OR = 0.386, 95% CI 0.22-0.69, p=0.001) and years of service (OR = 0.294, 95% CI 0.15-0.57, p=0.001). Conclusion: The result showed that slightly more than half of the patients who attended the outpatient dental clinic HUSM were satisfied with the dentist-patient interaction, which was found to be influenced by the characteristics of the dentists. Efforts to improve patient-dentist interaction are recommended to ensure delivery of good quality oral health care.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective To develop and validate the content of a tool aimed to select patients with hypertension for pharmaceutical care, based on identification of individuals in greater need of attention. Methods The tool was developed and assessed for face and content validity, which was carried out in three stages. Phase I consisted of comprehensive literature review, which prompted the development of the first version of the tool. Phase II consisted of validation by an expert panel. Phase III consisted of a pilot study with hypertensive patients and preparation of the final version of the instrument. Results Literature review yielded 30 studies, out of which 13 factors associated with hypertension and cardiovascular disease control and complications were selected. Once the initial version of the tool named INSAF-HAS was obtained, four expert meetings were held, each leading to instrument improvement until a final consensus was reached. In the pilot study, INSAF-HAS was applied to 30 patients with a diagnosis of hypertension for applicability pretest; adjustments were made and the final version of INSAF-HAS obtained. Conclusion The INSAF-HAS tool developed in this study has face and content validity, and may contribute to the selection of patients with hypertension in greater need of pharmaceutical care services.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Objective: To assess the attitudes of health professionals towards Deafness and its association with sociodemographic and Deaf contact experience. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in Concepcion, Chile. The sample size was estimated in 171 health professionals. The following variables were considered: sociodemographics, Deaf contact experience, and attitudes to deafness scale (ADS scale). To evaluate the association between the variables, t-test and Spearman correlation test were used (p<0.05). Results: People who had taken a LSCh course had significant more positive attitudes towards item 1 "Deaf people should learn to lipread", with a 2 points difference and in persons who do not know a Deaf person, with 1-point difference. Also, persons who have received some kind of formation in Deafness have a better attitude in item 3 "I would like to have more Deaf friends" with 1-point difference. An inverse correlation was observed within age (rho = -0.237; p=0.0014), years of academic service (rho = -0.323; p<0.0001) or PHC service (rho = -0.1085; p=0,364). Conclusion: The attitude of health professionals towards Deafness was neutral. This attitude is not modulated by sex, type of profession, type of relationship with Deaf people, type of training in hearing disability, Chilean Sign Language Courses or degree of frequency of healthcare delivery to Deaf patients. However, it is modulated by age and years of service.
