Método: Foi realizado um estudo transversal e descritivo através da aplicação de questionário a estudantes do curso de Medicina do segundo ao quinto semestre do curso, com coleta de dados no período de outubro de 2017 a fevereiro de 2018. Resultados: Participaram 154 alunos, sendo 50,6% do sexo masculino e com média de idade de 21,5±3,0 anos, observando-se que 30% considera seu desempenho regular e 37,5% moram em casa alugada ou cedida por terceiros, ao passo que a grande maioria mora distante da Universidade (61%), utiliza transporte público coletivo (70,1%) e relatam queixas relacionadas à má qualidade do sono (74,7%), bem como dificuldade em frequentar as aulas (39%). Destaca-se que 30,9% possui renda familiar de 1 a 3 salários mínimos, sendo que a maioria não exerce trabalho remunerado (94,2%). Conclusão: Conclui-se que as condições socioeconômicas já não são, universalmente, aquelas das classes mais altas da sociedade, o que pode ajudar a compreender as dificuldades enfrentadas por vários estudantes.Descritores: educação médica; classe social; fatores socioeconômicos; desempenho acadêmico. Summary Purpose: To describe the medical student profile and its repercussion in the academic trajectory. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was done, using a survey that medical students from the second to the fifth semester answered it. The data was collected from October 2017 to February 2018. Results: 154 students with the average age of 21.5±3.0 years old participated on the survey; 50.6% of them were men, 30% consider their achievement regular, 37.5% live in rented houses or lent by third parties, most of them live far from the university (61%) and use public transportation (74%), 39% report difficulties to attend the classes. We highlight that 30.9% are from families that their monthly revenue is 1 to 3 minimum salaries. Conclusion: We conclude that the socio-economic conditions today are not those of the highest classes of the society, what may help us to understand the difficulties faced by several students. IntroduçãoEm geral, os cursos de Medicina apresentaram por muitos anos um perfil predominante de estudantes: sexo masculino, de classes sociais mais elevadas, provenientes de grandes centros urbanos 1 . Entretanto, atualmente percebe-se uma mudança neste perfil, em especial nas instituições públicas, relacionadas a mudanças nos processos de admissão, como ações afirmativas e sistemas de cotas, visando ampliar o acesso às instituições públicas de ensino superior. Estas mudanças trazem consigo a necessidade de conhecimento sobre possíveis novas variáveis, a fim de moldar o ensino médico a novos modelos educacionais mais adequados à situação...
Objective: To identify the factors related to the medical students' overload and observe how these students deal with them. Methods: We made a cross-sectional and descriptive study, with students from the second and fifth semesters. The data collection was made from October 2017 to February 2018. About 300 students participated, and 170 of them filled out the questionnaire. From this number, 16 questionnaires were excluded because they were incorrectly filled, so the final number of forms were 154, corresponding to the analyzed sample. Results: We could observe that, in reference to the academic performance selfevaluation, almost 30% of the students considered having a regular performance. One of the main factors related to the academic overload was the fatigue during classes. Almost all interviewed students (91.4%) pointed out this factor, and they also consider that the Medical School has a negative interference in other aspects of their personal life. Most students consider that they can't study all subjects satisfactorily (71%). Concerning the sleep time, 65% of the students sleep in average up to 5 hours per day, and consider their sleep time unsatisfactorily. Fortunately, only 1.3% of the medical students use stimulating substances, such as Ritalina®, without medical prescription. Conclusions: We hereby conclude that, once they have an extensive course load, medical students need orientation about how to better manage their time and how to use strategies to reduce the stress, this way improving their personal satisfaction and performance.
