Objective: examine the contributions of teaching-service-community integration to health training and the Unified Health System, as well as the potential and challenges of this integration, from the viewpoint of professors. Method: descriptive study with a qualitative and quantitative approach. The study population was composed of 103 professors from the nursing, medical and dentistry courses of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The data was collected from October 2016 to February 2017, through an interview form. Imaruteq software and Bardin's content analysis were used for the data analysis. Results: according to the professors, teaching-service-community integration helps train students, since it provides multiprofessional and interdisciplinary experiences in real-life situations, in addition to promoting improved quality of care. However, various challenges need to be overcome, such as the hospital-centric model, which is still prevalent; fragmented curricula in disciplines; resistance of some professors to participate in integration; few interdisciplinary activities; emphasis on technical training with a predominance of traditional teaching methodologies; the infrastructure of the Unified Health System, among others. Conclusion: there is a need to institutionalize teaching-service-community integration and emphasize initiatives that dynamize and provide flexibility to multiprofessional and interdisciplinary activities. Institutions involved in the modification of health training and the transformation of health care processes also need to make a commitment.
Introdução: A interação ensino-serviço-comunidade é um trabalho pactuado e integrado entre a universidade e os serviços de saúde, favorecendo as experiências dos estudantes no processo ensino-aprendizagem. Objetivos: Este estudo visa analisar de forma crítica publicações na literatura que realizam avaliações desta interação pelos atores dos cenários de práticas, de forma a revelar contribuições e desafios dessa interação para o ensino, serviço e comunidade, bem como identificar lacunas no conhecimento científico acerca desta temática. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura a partir da busca por artigos publicados entre os anos de 2001 e 2016 em periódicos científicos indexados nas bases de dados da Biblioteca Virtual da Saúde. Resultados: A amostra final constou de 25 publicações. A maioria dos estudos enfatizou contribuições desta interação para a academia como indutor de mudanças no processo formativo e no modelo de atenção. Quanto ao serviço, as contribuições referem-se à melhoria da qualidade e diversificação das práticas nas unidades. As contribuições para a comunidade foram menos abordadas nos estudos e referiu-se principalmente a interação da comunidade com o serviço e fortalecimento de vínculos. Ficou evidente a insuficiência na literatura de avaliações da interação ensino-serviço pelos gestores e usuários. Conclusões: A inserção dos alunos nos campos de práticas é uma experiência desafiadora, sendo fundamental a institucionalização dessa interação. Apesar de existirem resistências e importantes fragilidades a serem superadas, a interação ensino-serviço-comunidade foi avaliada de forma positiva em todos os estudos analisados.
Objective: to provide a profile of patient with dizziness complaint in a terciary hospital in Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Methods: 444 medical records were analyzed in a retrospective analytical study, within a quantitative approach, divided into four groups: sex and age (1), characteristics of dizziness (2), comorbidities and risk factors (3) and findings in the physical examination (4). We assign p <0.05 as an indicator of statistical significance Results: of the 444 medical records analyzed, 367 cases were admitted for analysis, 92 of whom were male and 275 female. In addition, most of them reported spinning vertigo (78.3%), lasting for seconds (51%) without association with falling (25.7%) or loss of consciousness (9.3%). The most prevalent etiologies were, Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (33%), cochlear-vestibular dysfunction (17%) and Menière's disease (14%). Conclusions: the most frequent profile of patients with dizziness is female, in middle age (median of 52), hypertensive, and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo is the most prevalent etiology.
