Depression as a cause of suicidal idealization development in the elderly and its consequences in the family contextAbstract: Ideas of death and dying are common phenomena in older people, noting that in many countries this is a larger range in terms of the suicide risk group. Even if there is no lethality in some of the attempts, the act itself is the characterization of strong ideation, which may imply probable recidivism. It is recognized that there are many factors that lead to suicidal ideation, among them depression. This article reflects the subject in light of the specialized literature. It is relevant to have public policies of coping with depression in this age group as a way of preventing suicidal behavior.

RESUMOO curso de medicina da Universidade Federal do Cariri (UFCA) agrega um currículo com propostas de integração de conhecimentos e habilidades através de metodologia problematizadora desde 2001. A temática de saúde e espiritualidade foi pouco abordada ao longo dos primeiros anos, até o surgimento de um grupo de estudos que promoveu uma monitoria de integração da espiritualidade na disciplina de semiologia médica. Os estudantes da disciplina de semiologia médica foram acompanhados por monitores e professores orientadores em aulas expositivas, simulações realísticas e atividades práticas em hospital, com foco na abordagem da dimensão espiritual do paciente. O conjunto de ações realizados possibilitou, aos monitores e professores orientadores, profundas reflexões em torno da importância do ensino da abordagem da espiritualidade do paciente aos acadêmicos, como estratégia para promoção de conhecimentos integrados, habilidades inovadoras e atitudes direcionadas ao holismo e à compaixão. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Educação médica. Espiritualidade. Saúde holística. ABSTRACTThe Medical School of the Universidade Federal de Cariri (UFCA) has added a curriculum proposing the integration of knowledge and skills through a problematizing methodology since 2001. The theme of spirituality and health was little approached during the first years, until the emergence of a group of students which promoted a monitoring program on the integration of spirituality in the discipline of medical semiotics. The students of the discipline of medical semiotics were accompanied by monitors and instructors in lectures, realistic simulations and practical activities in hospital, focusing on patient's spiritual dimension. The set of actions enabled monitors and tutors to reflect deeply on the importance of teaching the patient's spirituality approach to students, as a strategy to promote integrated knowledge, innovative skills and attitudes towards holism and compassion.
In the current situation related to 2019-nCoV β-coronavirus, the National Health Authorities have determined the elaboration of contingency plans (CP) that minimize the contagion and allow the functioning of essential activities. The CP presented defines a set of guidelines that allow the adequacy of the response of a public university in Northeast of Brazil linked to the Programa Mais Médicos para o Brasil. Descriptive and qualitative study, type of comment, from the analysis of the data of the CP for the definition of strategies for coping with public health emergencies. The CP consists of ten measures that include assistance via applications/social networks; monitoring of physicians who are at risk; screening of suspected/confirmed cases; production of guides/protocols; 24h psychological/technical assistance to physicians working at primary health care and provision of online courses. The methodology proposed provides different models from those trivially presented in academia and is essential to promote health education.
Problem: The new National Curriculum Guidelines of Undergraduate Medicine in Brazil propose that academics have contact with the health system and its users at an early stage. However, practical activities in undergraduate courses proved to be insufficient for the adequate development of this new perspective. Consequently, the experiences of university extension have the proposal to fill in this gap. Method: This article aimed to report the experiences of the scholarship holders of the Extension Project in Family and Community Medicine - ProMFC (Projeto de Extensão em Medicina de Família e Comunidade) under the More Doctors for Brazil Program – PMMB (Programa Mais Médicos para o Brasil). This is a qualitative, experience-type study with lexical and content analysis from the software IRaMutTeQ, version 0.7 alpha 2, to establish an association between the terms used in the discourse of the ProMFC. Results: The opportunity to immerse in environments in which students can learn about the problems and share the daily life of the assisted community was highlighted. The exchange of knowledge and experiences among students, physicians working in Primary Health Care (fellows of the PMMB, supervisors and tutors) and local managers was also relevant, as well as the students’ ability to develop/train skills, such as teamwork, assertive communication, and health planning. Conclusion: The PMMB, tutored and integrated into an extension project, the ProMFC, is an alternative that, although embryonic, has many potentialities, as it allows the extensionists to be early inserted into the Attention Primary Health Care.
