RESUMO

Objetivo:

Avaliar o nível de conhecimento dos acadêmicos de Medicina sobre transplante e morte encefálica.

Métodos:

Questionário autoaplicado não identificado respondido pelos alunos do curso de Medicina do primeiro ao sexto ano, com base em informações da Associação Brasileira de Transplante de Órgãos e Tecidos, Registro Brasileiro de Transplantes e pela resolução que define os critérios para morte encefálica.

Resultados:

Dos 677 alunos do curso de Medicina, 310 (45,8%) concordaram em responder. Foram excluídos 22 (7,0%) pacientes. Dos que participaram, 41,3% informaram que já assistiram à aula sobre transplante de órgãos e 33% sobre morte encefálica; 9,7% se sentiram aptos a diagnosticar morte encefálica (p<0,01); apenas 66,8% responderam o rim como o órgão sólido mais transplantado no Brasil.

Conclusão:

O nível de conhecimento sobre morte encefálica e transplantes dos alunos de Medicina da instituição é limitado, o que pode ser resultado de uma abordagem inadequada durante o curso de Medicina. .
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To evaluate the level of knowledge of medical students about transplantation and brain death.

Methods:

An anonymous self-administered questionnaire answered by medical students from the first through the sixth year that was based on information from the Associação Brasileira de Transplante de Órgãos e Tecidos, the Registro Brasileiro de Transplantes and the resolution that defines the criteria for brain death.

Results:

Of the 677 medical students asked, 310 (45.8%) agreed to answer the questionnaire. In total, 22 (7.0%) subjects were excluded. Of the students who participated, 41.3% reported having already attended a class on organ transplantation and 33% on brain death; 9.7% felt able to diagnose brain death (p<0.01); only 66.8% indicated the kidney as the most transplanted solid organ in Brazil.

Conclusion:

The level of knowledge of medical students at this institution regarding brain death and transplantation is limited, which may be the result of an inadequate approach during medical school. .
