Pretendeu-se avaliar os resultados de um curso de medicina ancorado na aprendizagem baseada em problema. A metodologia do estudo baseou-se no desenho de pesquisa de avaliação com abordagem qualitativa, envolvendo entrevistas, elaboração de um plano de cuidados e atividade com paciente simulado. Os dados obtidos foram analisados a partir da perspectiva hermenêutica-dialética. Apesar de ter tido limites, o curso foi avaliado de forma positiva porque, segundo os egressos, proporcionou uma formação humanista, promoveu o aprender a aprender, valorizou a convivência com outros profissionais e integrou teoria com a prática. Os egressos articularam as dimensões biológica, psicológica e social tanto em suas falas quanto em suas ações. Os pacientes consideraram que os egressos eram cuidadosos, respeitando-os e escutando-os, enquanto os gestores dos serviços de saúde reconheceram que a atuação do egresso ia para além do foco da doença.

I PALAVRAS-CHAVE

Objective: To verify the relationship between adherence to antiretroviral therapy and Functional Health Literacy. Methods: Cross-sectional study, carried out in the Specialized Care Service in 2019, using questionnaires about adherence to treatment and Functional Health literacy people living with human immunodeficiency virus. The LFS questionnaire has questions about numerical and text interpretation skills and the adherence questionnaire addresses how to use antiretrovirals. Viral load was verified by analysis of medical records. Associations between variables were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: 78 patients were interviewed and a significant association between the variables to treatment adherence and Functional Literacy in Health was observed. The association between adherence to therapy and viral load levels was also significant. Conclusions: The data found show a significant association between the variables, ie, the lower the functional health literacy, the greater the difficulty to adhere to treatment.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the prison population’s knowledge of sexually transmitted infections. Methods: An illustrated questionnaire was prepared based on the Ministry of Health’s information booklet to provide information about sexually transmitted infections and applied to a sample of the prison population (PP) (n=158). This is a descriptive and cross-sectional research conducted in 2017 in one of the penitentiaries in the western region of the state of São Paulo. Results: The study sample presented both correct knowledge and misconceptions regarding the identification, prevention, treatment and ways of transmission of these infections. Among these aspects, the identification of these infections raised the most doubts, especially about those that produce penile lesions. Conclusion: The data obtained in the study reinforces the need for greater investments in the knowledge of sexually transmitted infections in the prison setting. They should focus on educational activities contextualized to the profile of this population: young adults with low education and little access to information.

The institutions of university education, in Brazil, starting from 1980s, in the ambit of its anatomy granted by the National System of higher education evaluation (SINAES) join the evaluation of students by different forms and instruments used. The evaluation considers pedagogical strategies and can contribute to the adjustments required in the construction process of the knowledge. The objective of this research was to analyze the social representation of the medical student about the process of teaching-learning and the educational resources built into the Systematized Educational Unit (UES). The research has had a qualitative approach based in the Theory of Social Representations, analyzed by the technique of the Collective Subject Discourse and 16 students from the fourth year of medicine.The results indicated eight central ideas: implored learning resources; clinical and therapeutic reflections; efficient and effective theoretical and practical correlation; theory and practice sometimes out of tune, fidelity to the steps of tutoring; lack of preparation of the preceptor and the tutor and strengths and weaknesses of the educational resources. The evaluation of the students highlighted the strong and fragile points of the teaching-learning process, as well as of educational resources and provided subsidies for adjustments needed to improve the educational proposal of the UES and curricular.

A Leucemia Mieloide Crônica é uma doença hematológica caracterizada pela proliferação de leucócitos. O tratamento é feito por medicamentos administrados por via oral, porém pode ocorrer falha na adesão. Logo, ações educativas são importantes para conscientizar o paciente sobre o uso adequado destes medicamentos. O objetivo do estudo foi elaborar um material educativo com enfoque no tratamento da Leucemia Mieloide Crônica. Inicialmente verificou-se a adesão ao tratamento medicamentoso dos pacientes do Ambulatório de Onco-hematologia (n=36) aplicando a Escala de Adesão Terapêutica de Morisky (MMAS-8). Em seguida foi elaborada uma versão preliminar do material educativo com participação dos pacientes (n=10) e profissionais da área de saúde (n=10). Os participantes contribuíram na definição dos temas e posteriormente na validação do material educativo com relação ao conteúdo, linguagem, ilustrações, layout, motivação e cultura. Os itens que atingiram 80% de concordância foram considerados validados. Os resultados mostraram que a adesão dos pacientes ao tratamento merece investimentos e os avaliadores trouxeram importantes contribuições para a construção de um material sucinto, claro e com ilustrações. Os pacientes com Leucemia Mieloide Crônica merecem atenção em relação a realização de atividades educativas que possam contribuir com maiores esclarecimentos sobre a doença e também sobre a importância da adesão ao tratamento. Dessa forma, o material produzido nesse estudo, com a utilização de questionários validados na literatura e com a participação de especialistas na área, poderá ser utilizado como ferramenta para a realização de ações de “Educação em Saúde”, podendo auxiliar na otimização das taxas de adesão ao tratamento farmacológico.
