ABSTRACT
Background: Most residents do not have a defined program for simulation training in video surgery in Brazil. The training takes place for the most part in vivo or in short courses. The goal of this article is to describe and evaluate a set of exercises using low-cost materials, created by the residents themselves, to enable basic skills training in video surgery. Materials and Methods: Seven exercises were elaborated aiming to simulate main maneuvers performed in video surgery. The residents were guided by a written and video description showing the execution of the exercises, performed the exercises, and answered a questionnaire. After 3 weeks of free training, the residents performed the exercises and answered the questionnaire again. Results: Seven residents started the study; however, 6 completed the two steps. Among the participants, 83% received in vivo video surgery training, and only 2 (33%) received some supervised simulation training in minimally invasive surgery before this time. All participants considered the set of seven exercises representative of the actual skills in video surgery. There was no difficulty in acquiring the materials or in assembling them to carry out the training. All the participants had a shorter training time than initially proposed, on average 1 day/week for 20 minutes. Conclusions: A simple set of exercises can be elaborated by the residents themselves and make feasible the simulated training in video surgery even without the availability of sophisticated and expensive materials. The presence of a tutor and the scheduling of exclusive training seem necessary for more satisfactory results.

Neste estudo avaliou-se a satisfação no trabalho dos médicos da Atenção Primária de uma capital do sul do Brasil. Foram entrevistados quinze médicos de Unidades de Saúde. As principais motivações citadas para atuarem na Atenção Primária foram a estabilidade do emprego público, a dificuldade de se estabelecer na iniciativa privada e a defesa do direito universal à saúde. As principais questões geradoras de insatisfação relacionaram-se ao elevado número de consultas, falta de respaldo dos níveis secundário e terciário de atenção à saúde, limitações da autonomia decisória, desgaste físico e emocional, baixa resolubilidade dos serviços, desvalorização perante aos colegas e opinião pública.
This study assessed work satisfaction among Primary Health Care doctors from a capital city in Southern Brazil. Fifteen physicians from Basic Health Units were interviewed. The main motivations cited for working in Primary Health Care were the stability of the public service job, the difficulty of establishing a career in the private sector, and the defense of the universal right to health access. The main points that generated dissatisfaction were related to the high number of appointments per working hour, lack of support from the secondary and tertiary health care levels, limited decision-making autonomy, elevated physical and emotional distress, low resolution capability of health services, and lack of esteem from colleagues and society.
