“…Dealing with death and suicide has always been difficult for health professionals, especially for doctors and medical students. Researchers, when studying medical students' attitudes towards relevant aspects of clinical practice, observed their negative or indefinite attitudes towards aspects related to death and mental illness 14 . A similar finding was identified in the association between students and their difficulty in dealing with death 15 , which also researched the medical students' attitudes in relation to relevant aspects of clinical practice.…”

Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that there are around one million deaths by suicide a year worldwide, more than the total sum of deaths caused by wars and homicides, which results in one death every 40 seconds. Despite the existence of several scientific publications on suicide prevention, there have been studies showing that health professionals are not trained to adequately care for individuals at risk of suicide. Objective: This study aimed to understand the attitudes and perceptions of medical school students and teachers regarding suicide. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive study, with a quantitative and qualitative approach, approved by the Research Ethics Committee, which assessed a sample of 180 students attending the 8th and 11th semesters and 57 teachers from different semesters of the evaluated medical courses. The data were obtained by applying the Suicide Behavior Attitude Questionnaire (SBAQ), in addition to a sociodemographic questionnaire. The data were submitted to descriptive and analytical statistics. Results: Regarding professional capacity, the scores were low for both students (median 5.5) and teachers (median 5.25). Students who had seen someone exhibiting suicidal behavior (p = 0.002) and those attending the more advanced semesters (p = 0.04) felt more confident when treating patients at risk of suicide. There was a significant difference regarding the Right to Suicide factor among students who said they were religious (p = 0.001), as also among the teachers who attended religious services with a higher frequency (p = 0.02). Conclusions: We conclude that students and teachers have had little experience with suicide in the assessed medical courses, which contributes to low level of training and the feeling of insecurity, indicating the need to give more importance to the subject in the undergraduate medical school, aiming to allow the acquisition of knowledge and skills for a competent and preventive medical practice regarding suicide.

“…Inúmeros estudos têm sido produzidos para aprofundar o conhecimento sobre temas diversos envolvendo o cotidiano universitário, tais como sucesso e insucesso acadêmico, fatores de estresse na formação acadêmica, saúde mental do estudante, formação de atitudes e competências especificas, entre outros. 3,2,[6][7][8][9][10] É importante compreender que o aprendizado do aluno bem como todo o seu processo de adaptação ao ensino superior devem levar em conta diversas variáveis que podem impactar o ajustamento acadêmico. 3,11 Uma compreensão apropriada dessa fase estudantil exige que se atente para as características individuais e de personalidade do estudante, para a relação professor aluno, para o contexto e histórico institucional.…”

Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar e discutir aspectos ligados a ações e programas de atenção ao estudante universitário. Especificamente em relação às profissões da área da saúde, o texto discute as mudanças ocorridas nas ultimas décadas, e o aumento das expectativas da sociedade sobre o estudante, o que tem levado os cursos à constante revisão de objetivos e métodos. Além disso, discute as peculiaridades do período da vida que corresponde ao ingresso na universidade e todas as novas e complexas demandas que o estudante deve enfrentar ao ingressar num curso superior. Essa convergência de novas situações vai além dos desafios relativos ao processo ensino-aprendizagem, e envolve a mobilização de muitos recursos por parte do estudante para adaptar-se. Todos esses esforços podem ter impacto em seu rendimento acadêmico e em sua saúde e qualidade de vida. Para melhor situar os aspectos ligados ao desenvolvimento do adulto jovem no contexto da Universidade, as autoras apresentam o construtivismo social e a perspectiva do curso de vida, como alternativas teóricas que abordam a complexidade dessa situação. Finalmente, apresentam as possibilidades dos programas de apoio ao estudante, exemplificando com as experiências em curso na Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirão Preto: o Centro de Apoio Educacional e Psicológico, que além de ofertar atenção clínica (psicológica e pedagógica), mantém iniciativas de pesquisa e um Programa de Tutoria Institucional, para acolher os alunos ingressantes.

Introduction:In traditional medical school curriculum, sixth-year is the moment in which students experience medical practice more intensively. Attitudes can be considered predictors of behaviors and actions. Evaluating them contributes to improve medical training. Objective: To evaluate attitudes during medical internship considering medical practice and associated factors in a Brazilian public university. Method: Cross-sectional study that included 69 students, based on a structured questionnaire and an attitude scale (Colares, 2002). We used descriptive statistics, with classification of the attitude tendency, clusters analysis and F-statistics. Results: The average age of the participants was 25.1±1.9, and 56.5% of them were male. Students presented positive attitudes to emotional aspects in organic diseases, primary health care, the medical contribution to the scientific advancement of medicine, and other aspects of medical activity and health politics; there were conflicting attitudes concerning mental illness and negative attitudes concerning death. Conclusion: Results show the need for interventions in order to reduce the identified conflicting and negative attitudes.
