Goal: Review articles that address different assessment tools and methods based on competences of the Resident Doctor in Family and Community Medicine. Methodology: This is an integrative review with the following research question "What are the strategies, pointed out in the literature, for a competence-based assessment of the resident physician in Family and Community Medicine?", with a search for references through the exploration of a database. Dice: Publisher Medline (PubMed) and Virtual Health Library (BVS), using the following descriptors and their combinations: "family medicine", "residency", "assessment" and 'competency". Articles published in the last 10 years, which had full text, in English and Portuguese, that related to the research topic were included. Result: From a total of 6 articles, 4 different competency-based assessment methods were extracted and analyzed: 1-Clinical Assessment Mini-Exercise (Miniex), 2-Milestones, 3-Competency-Based Achievement System (CBAS), and 4-Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs). Conslusion: Knowledge about these tools and their correct use enables an integral, complete and practical assessment of students, especially in a scenario where the need for competent assessment methods that accompany the advancement of competencybased curricula grows. These innovative assessment methods enable the Family and Community Medicine resident to actively participate in the teaching-learning process, making it evolve more consistently during the residency program.
Despite growing global efforts to control tobacco use, it remains a common addiction. Passive smoking is the inhalation of smoke from tobacco derivatives by non-smokers, breathing in the same toxic substances that the smoker inhales. The objective of this systematic review was to identify the possible effects of passive smoking on the health of children and adolescents. The PICO tool was used to prepare the research question. The protocol of this study was submitted to PROSPERO and the PRISMA guidelines were followed. The following databases were used: LILACS, MEDLINE and EMBASE. As a result, 493 articles were identified from the last 5 years, 8 articles were removed for being duplicates, 439 articles were excluded for not meeting the inclusion criteria, 8 articles were excluded for poor methodological quality and 38 were included in the study. It was concluded, as evidence, that passive smoking has negative effects on the health of children and adolescents and was associated with respiratory, infectious, psychoneurocognitive, metabolic, cardiovascular, otorhinolaryngological, allergic disorders and increased mortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
