RESUMO
A saúde coletiva tenciona romper com o paradigma tradicional da medicina, centrado no modelo biologicista da saúde-doença. Este estudo visou avaliar as disciplinas da saúde coletiva oferecidas na graduação dos alunos do curso de Medicina da Universidade Estadual do Ceará (Uece); caracterizar a percepção deles acerca da contribuição dessas disciplinas na relação com o paciente; descrever o conhecimento discente sobre aspectos relacionados à ementa de cada disciplina, como possíveis mudanças na disposição delas; e analisar o conceito de saúde coletiva do ponto de vista dos alunos. Estudo descritivo com abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido na Uece e nos serviços de saúde conveniados ao curso de Medicina. De uma população de 240 alunos matriculados no curso de Medicina da Uece, retirou-se uma amostra por conveniência de 129 acadêmicos. Os dados foram obtidos mediante questionário semiestruturado. A análise foi realizada com o programa estatístico PASW, versão 17.0. Dos participantes, 112 (86,8 por cento) enfatizaram o efeito positivo das disciplinas na relação com os pacientes. Noventa e um (70,5 por cento) ressaltaram a grande carga horária das disciplinas e 91 (70,5 por cento) desconhecem a ementa. Muitos, 52 (47,7 por cento), sugeriram redução do número de disciplinas e créditos, e 36 (26 por cento) não souberam conceituar saúde coletiva. Conclui-se que esta é essencial na formação dos futuros médicos, mas urge repensar a reformulação curricular e mudanças de atitudes dos docentes desse curso.
ABSTRACT
Public Health attempts to break with the traditional medical paradigm centered on the biologistic health-disease model. This study aimed to evaluate courses in public health in the undergraduate medical curriculum at the State University of Ceará (UECE), Brazil, characterize undergraduate medical students'perceptions concerning the contribution of these courses to their relationship to patients; describe students'knowledge of issues related to each course program, as possible changes in their arrangement; and analyze the concept of Public Health from the students'perspective. This was a descriptive study with a quantitative approach, conducted at UECE and in health services operating in affiliation with the medical school. From a total of 240 medical students enrolled at UECE, a convenience sample of 129 students was selected. Data were obtained with a semi-structured questionnaire. The data analysis used PASW, version 17.0. Among the participants, 112 (86.8 percent) emphasized the positive effect of courses in public health on their relationship to patients. Ninety-one students (70.5 percent) stressed the heavy course load and 91 (70.5 percent) were unfamiliar with the course program. Fifty-two (47.7 percent), suggested reducing the number of disciplines and credits in public health, and 36 (26 percent) were unable to define public health as a concept. In conclusion, public health is essential in training future physicians, but there is an urgent need to reformulate the course curriculum and to change attitudes among the course faculty.
