Multiprofessional family health residency as a setting for education and interprofessional practices

Abstract

Objective: to know the experiences lived during the residency by graduates of a Multiprofessional Residency Program in Family Health that could contribute to the development of Interprofessional Education and/or Collaborative Practice. Method: a qualitative study with residents who entered a Multiprofessional Residency Program of a Brazilian public university in 2017, a period in which the theme of interprofessionality was implemented in the activities of the residency. Data was collected using an electronic form built from the theoretical framework of interprofessional education. Content analysis was used to process the data. Results: nine residents participated, distributed among the professions of Physical Education, Nursing, Nutrition, Dentistry, Psychology and Social Work, five of whom were female and with a mean age of 28.4. Two categories emerged: the Residency as a setting for learning from the other, and the Residency as a setting for understanding the role of the other. Interprofessional education and practice provided opportunities for the development of collaborative skills, enhancing teamwork and interprofessional work. Conclusion: the multiprofessional logic was evidenced in the resident’s practice; and the gradual insertion of activities such as case discussions, shared services and inter-sectoral actions aligned with the theoretical-methodological framework of interprofessionality favored an approach to interprofessional work.

Educação interprofissional na Atenção Básica: um estudo cartográfico da formação de residentes em Saúde

“…A Residência é uma estratégia que promove a aprendizagem pela relação e pela troca de saberes com diferentes atores, como profissionais, estudantes e usuários. Isso oportuniza à Psicologia desconstruir estereotipias sobre outras profissões, realizar uma reflexão sobre ela mesma e aprender pelos conhecimentos dos demais profissionais e usuários 35 . De qualquer modo, a educação interprofissional dos residentes deve induzir a um reposicionamento ético e político da Psicologia na Atenção Básica para que sejam agenciadas práticas que busquem romper com os entraves que dificultam a efetivação do direito universal de acesso à saúde integral.…”
