El error en la práctica médica / Error in Medical Practice

Introducción: El error está presente en cualquier actividad humana y la práctica de la medicina no es una excepción. Debido al aumento de los conocimientos sobre la salud y las enfermedades, la posibilidad de error, relacionada con la atención de estas últimas, disminuye, pero no se ha eliminado en su totalidad. Objetivo: Exponer las experiencias de los autores acerca del error en la práctica médica. Métodos: Revisión bibliográfica entre los años 2000 y 2020. Se localizaron y consultaron fuentes bibliográficas validadas en: Medline, PubMed y SciELO, a las que se accedió a través de la biblioteca virtual de salud. Se utilizaron para la búsqueda las palabras clave error médico, iatrogenia, responsabilidad penal del médico, método clínico. Se revisaron también tres bibliografías anteriores que se consideraron de utilidad para el artículo y tres capítulos de libros con temas afines, además de las resoluciones del Ministerio de Salud Pública de Cuba que tratan acerca del error médico. Al final se seleccionaron 21 bibliografías en idiomas español e inglés. Conclusiones: Existen grandes posibilidades de errores en el proceso del diagnóstico y tratamiento de los enfermos. El desarrollo de la tecnología y la mejoría en la construcción de guías y protocolos disminuyen las probabilidades de equivocaciones, pero no las eliminan. El perfeccionamiento en la formación de recursos humanos, unido al uso correcto del método clínico es una estrategia eficaz para disminuir los errores en la práctica médica(AU)

(AU)ntroduction: Error is present in any human activity; the medical practice is not an exception. Due to an increase in knowledge about health and diseases, error possibility related to disease management is decreasing, but has not been totally eliminated. Objective: To expose the authors' experiences regarding error in medical practice. Methods: A bibliographic review was carried out, covering the years between 2000 and 2020. Validated bibliographic sources were located and consulted in Medline, PubMed and SciELO, accessed through the Virtual Health Library. The following keywords were used for the search: error médico [medical error], iatrogenia [iatrogenic error], responsabilidad penal del médico [physician criminal liability] and método clínico [clinical method]. Three previous bibliographies considered useful for the article and three book chapters with related topics were also reviewed, in addition to the resolutions of the Ministry of Public Health of Cuba dealing with the topic of medical error. Finally, 21 bibliographies in Spanish and English were selected. Conclusions: There are great possibilities of errors in the process of patient diagnosis and management. The development of technology, as well as the improvement in the construction of guides and protocols, decreases the probabilities of errors, but do not eliminate them. The improvement in the training of human resources, together with the correct use of the clinical method, is an effective strategy to reduce errors in medical practice(AU)

Responsabilização socioeducativa: entre a coerção e a educação / La responsabilité socio-éducative: entre contrainte et éducation / Socio-educational accountability: between coercion and education

O presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar alguns resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado relativa à responsabilização socioeducativa. Discute as formas de prevenir e tratar o delito juvenil na atualidade, reconhecendo a aplicação das medidas socioeducativas como o principal mecanismo de responsabilização pela prática de ato infracional. Realizamos um breve histórico da legislação e das instituições destinadas ao atendimento dos adolescentes no intuito de conhecer as maneiras de tratar o delito juvenil antes do advento do Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA). Partimos do pressuposto que a medida socioeducativa, em especial a internação, se reveste tanto por um aspecto coercitivo quanto educativo, sendo que a articulação na prática desses dois elementos tem se revelado como um constante desafio. Assim sendo, investigou-se, a compreensão da socioeducação, bem como sua articulação com a temática da responsabilização. A pesquisa revelou que há três tipos de responsabilização ­ a jurídica, a subjetiva e a educativa ­ e que o trabalho socioeducativo se faz a partir dessa tensão.

Cet article vient présenter quelques résultats de la recherche de maîtrise sur la responsabilité socio-éducative. Il aborde les moyens de prévenir et de traiter la délinquance juvénile de nos jours, en reconnaissant l'application de mesures socio-éducatives comme le principal mécanisme de responsabilisation pour la pratique d'actes délictueux. Nous faisons un bref historique de la législation et des institutions destinées à la prise en charge des adolescents afin de connaître les manières de traiter la criminalité juvénile avant l'avènement du Statut de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent (ECA). Nous partons de l'hypothèse que la mesure socio-éducative, en particulier l'internement, est couverte par un aspect coercitif autant qu'éducatif, étant donné que l'articulation dans la pratique de ces deux éléments s'est révélée être un défi constant. Nous avons donc étudié la compréhension de la socio-éducation, ainsi que son articulation avec le thème de la responsabilité. La recherche a révélé qu'il existe trois types de responsabilité - légale, subjective et éducative - et que le travail socio-éducatif se fait à partir de cette tension.

This article aims to present some results of the master's research on socio-educational accountability. It discusses ways to prevent and treat juvenile crime today, recognizing the application of social and educational measures as the main mechanism of accountability for the practice of transgressive acts. We conducted a brief history of legislation and institutions designed to assist adolescents in order to understand the ways of dealing with juvenile crime before the advent of the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA). We assume that the socio-educational measure, especially internment, has both a coercive and educational aspect, and that the articulation of these two elements has objectively revealed itself as a constant challenge. Therefore, we investigated the understanding of socioeducation, as well as its articulation with the theme of accountability. The research revealed that there are three types of accountability - legal, subjective and educational - and that the socioeducational work is based on this tension.
