A expressão pessoal de médicos frente à bioética, qualidade de vida no trabalho e relação médico paciente / Physicians' personal expression regarding bioethics, quality of life at work and the doctor-patient relationship / Expresión personal de los médicos respecto a la bioética, la calidad de vida en el trabajo y la relación médico-paciente

Foi realizada uma pesquisa de opinião nacional na qual cada médico foi capaz de expressar seus sentimentos, compreensão e opinião pessoal no contexto da qualidade de vida no trabalho e bioética. Foi utilizado um questionário estruturado com tópicos relevantes, enviado pelo Departamento de TI do Conselho Federal de Medicina aos 95.022 endereços de e-mail registrados válidos, e foram obtidas 426 respostas completas. Houve manifestações negativas; em média, mais de 50% das respostas específicas, que mostraram que a falta de qualidade de vida no trabalho age negativamente sobre o entendimento e a opinião dos médicos sobre bioética e a relação médico-paciente, e não necessariamente que esta manifestação se materialize através de suas ações. Houve médicos receptivos que, através de suas respostas, conseguiram demonstrar que a falta de qualidade de vida no trabalho pode alterar e desconstruir esta relação no contexto da bioética.

First facts on the distribution of personal protective equipment during the coronavirus pandemic and facts revealed by medical entities in Brazil: a cross-sectional study

Abstract BACKGROUND: The 2019 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has revealed precarious public health conditions worldwide, where serious failures have occurred, similar to the distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE) to physicians in the government of Brazil. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this investigation was to prove through facts that there have been failures in the distribution of PPE to medical professionals within a reasonable timeframe. DESIGN AND SETTING: Through a cross-sectional study, we sought to identify the information and data on the subject of "Distribution of PPE" from the official sites of all the national and regional medical representative entities. METHODS: All medical representative entities, such as unions, councils, and federations, were identified by searching their existing websites, which were active on the World Wide Web, identifying facts, news, and official data regarding the supply of PPE on a daily basis and during the research period. RESULTS: It was evident from the identification of over 3,900 physician complaints and news reports that there was a failure to distribute PPE to medical professionals in Brazil over a reasonable period. Several physicians obtained PPE through the ruling of the courts. CONCLUSIONS: There was indeed a failure in the context of health service administration, which compromised the second level of the Maslow Scale, safety needs, and exposed these professionals to a greater risk than necessary, compromised the quality of work life, and directly compromised the doctor-patient relationship. The condition of the physicians cannot be forgotten during the COVID-19 pandemic.
