RESUMO
Abstract Objectives: Planning for the child and adolescent to have a safe handling in the epilepsy transition process is essential. In this work, the authors translated the "Readiness Checklists" and applied them to a group of patients and their respective caregivers in the transition process to assess the possibility of using them as a monitoring and instructional instrument. Methods: The "Readiness Checklists" were applied to thirty adolescents with epilepsy and their caregivers. The original English version of this instrument underwent a process of translation and cultural adaptation by a translator with knowledge of English and epilepsy. Subsequently, it was carried out the back-translation and the Portuguese version was compared to the original, analyzing discrepancies, thus obtaining the final version for the Brazilian population. Results: Participants were able to answer the questions. In four questions there was an association between the teenagers' educational level and the response pattern to the questionnaires. The authors found a strong positive correlation between the responses of adolescents and caregivers (RhoSpearman = 0.837; p < 0.001). The application of the questionnaire by the health team was feasible for all interviewed patients and their respective caregivers. Conclusion: The translation and application of the "Readiness Checklists" is feasible in Portuguese. Patients with lower educational levels felt less prepared for the transition than patients with higher educational levels, independently of age. Adolescents and caregivers showed similar perceptions regarding patients' abilities. The lists can be very useful tools to assess and plan the follow-up of the population of patients with epilepsy in the process of transition.
RESUMO
INTRODUÇÃO: As Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para o curso de Medicina sinalizaram a necessidade de formar um médico capaz de atuar conforme as necessidades de saúde da população visando o fortalecimento do Sistema Único de Saúde. A implantação de um estágio, na área de Atenção Primaria à saúde, na Faculdade de Medicina ABC, resultou em uma reforma mais ampliada do internato médico. OBJETIVO: Identificar a percepção dos estudantes quanto a inserção do ciclo de Atenção Primária à Saúde (CAPS) no internato médico. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal que utilizou um questionário fechado, aplicados aos estudantes do 5º e 6º anos, totalizando 157 participantes, em 2011 abordando os aspectos teóricos e práticos do CAPS. RESULTADOS: Chamou a atenção na comparação entre o 5º e 6º anos do Ciclo de Atenção Primaria à Saúde: o CAPS no 5º ano teve o maior número de quesitos respondidos com regular e fraco, enquanto que o 6º ano teve um grande número respondido com ótimo e bom. Observaram-se diferenças marcantes quanto à percepção dos estudantes entre os aspectos abordados do CAPS entre os estudantes do 5º e 6º, com destaque para maior grau de satisfação com o 6º ano (UBS tradicional) do que com o 5º ano Estratégia de saúde da família (ESF). CONCLUSÃO: Há indícios de que os respondentes validaram a implementação do CAPS, mas ainda restam desafios e tensões quanto à estruturação e integração ensino e serviço.
INTRODUCTION: The National Curriculum Guidelines for the medical school showed that a doctor to graduate is necessary to be able to act upon the health needs of the population aimed at strengthening the Unified Health System. The implementation of a stage in Primary Care area of health, ABC School of Medicine, has resulted in a broader reform of the medical internship. OBJECTIVE: To identify the perception of students and the insertion of the Primary Health Care Cycle (CAPS) in medical internship. METHODS: Cross-sectional study that used a closed questionnaire applied to students of 5th and 6th year, totaling 157 participants in 2011 addressing the theoretical and practical aspects of CAPS. RESULTS: They draw attention in the comparison between the 5th and 6th year of Primary Care Cycle Health: CAPS at 5 years had the highest number of answered questions with regular and weak, while the 6th grade had a large number responded with great and good. There were marked differences in the perception of students among the topics of CAPS aspects among students of 5th and 6th, highlighting greater degree of satisfaction with the 6th grade (Traditional UBS) than with the 5 year Family Health Strategy (FHS). CONCLUSION: There are indications that respondents validated the implementation of CAPS, but there are still challenges and tensions on the structuring and integrating teaching and service.
