Formação em Odontologia para além dos muros da Universidade: relato de experiência do estágio na Estratégia Saúde da Família / Dentistry training beyond the walls of the University: experience report of the internship in Family Health Strategy

A exigência de profissionais de Odontologia aptos a trabalharno Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) traz a necessidade de uma formação direcionada ao desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades. A inserção do aluno na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) por meio dos estágios vem sendo preconizada, por ser um nível de atençãoimportante para construção da integralidade do cuidado. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é descrever e analisar a experiência vivenciada por graduandos de Odontologia junto a uma equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) no componente curricular Estágio Supervisionado na ESF, em uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) de um município do interior, em um bairro com grande vulnerabilidade social. Trata-se de um relato de experiência de abordagem descritiva, caráter qualitativo e cunho crítico-reflexivo. Osdados foram alcançados pelapercepção dos alunos durante as atividades do estágio, utilizando como base o portfólio crítico reflexivo (PCR) construído durante dez encontros na UBS. Previamente, um semestre foi destinado à aquisição de conhecimento teóricoe planejamentodas atividades a serem desenvolvidas durante o estágio. Na UBS, os estudantes tiveram a possibilidade de vivenciar o funcionamento e interação da equipe de saúde, realizar atividades voltadas à prática interprofissional, visualizar as demandas da comunidade e desenvolver atividades com metodologias participativas. Em seguida, foi construído o PCR e partilhada a vivência por meio de apresentação aberta ao público. Dessa forma, o estágio permitiu desenvolver um olhar mais humanizado e integral aos estudantes de Odontologia, com competências importantes para o profissional apto a trabalhar no SUS (AU).

The requirement for Dentistry professionals able to work in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS, as per its Portuguese acronym) brings the need for training aimed at developing skills and abilities. The insertion of the student in Primary Health Care (PHC) through internships has been advocated, since this is an important level of care for the construction of comprehensive care. Accordingly, the objective of this article is to describe and analyze the experience lived by undergraduate Dentistry students with a team of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the curricular component Supervised Internship in FHS, in a Primary Health Care Unit (PHCU), located in a city in the countryside, in a neighborhood with great social vulnerability. It is an experience report with a descriptive approach, qualitative character and critical-reflective nature. The data were obtained from the perception of students during the internship activities, using as a basis the reflective critical portfolio (RCP) constructed during ten meetings in the PHCU. Previously, a semester was destined to the acquisition of theoretical knowledge and planning of activities to be developed during the internship. In the PHCU, students were able to experience the functioning and interaction of the health team, perform activities aimed at interprofessional practice, visualize the demands of the community and develop activities with participatory methodologies. Subsequently, the RCP was constructed and the experience shared through an open presentationto the public. Thus, the internship allowed the Dentistry students to develop a more humanized and comprehensive look, with important skills for the professional who is able to work in the SUS (AU).

Access to Oral Health Actions According to Social and Individual Determinants

Abstract Objective: To investigate the socioeconomic, demographic and health needs that influence the access to oral health actions. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 609 individuals who lived in areas covered by the Family Health Strategy in a city of the Northeast of Brazil. All individuals living in areas covered by the FHS with age equal to or higher than six years were included. Data analysis included descriptive, bivariate and multivariate statistics using decision-tree based Chi-squared automatic interaction detection (CHAID). Results: Most participants were female, aged 25-34 years, ranging in age from 6 to 87 years. It was evidenced that, among the studied variables, the most relevant for understanding the access to oral health actions were: age (p<0.001), educational level (p-value in Node 1 = 0.009; p-value in Node 7 = 0.005) and self-perception of oral health (p=0.001). Conclusion: The results suggest that access to oral health actions is influenced by several social and individual factors, and it is marked by inequalities that favor individuals with higher educational level, better self-perception of oral health and lower age groups.
