O ensino de Farmácia

Cosmetics have been used since the very first days of human life. This early and continuing consumption has resulted in the growth of the Cosmetic Industry (C.I.). The C.I. must continue to invest in the development of innovative products which are safe for the consumers. On the other hand, the Health Agency should issue laws regulating the development of products. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the Brazilian Cosmetic Legislation before ANVISA and the challenges for the C.I. during the 20th century regarding the development of safe and effective cosmetics, and to show the importance of this legislation in the R&D. A Bibliographic and Documentary Exploratory Research was conducted based on safety and efficacy data contained in scientific studies and legal documents. The study showed that the creation of ANVISA was necessary because no resolution had been published about the safety and efficacy of cosmetics for the C.I. before ANVISA. However, the challenges faced by the C.I. may have had a negative impact on the health of consumers. Finally, it was concluded that the actions before ANVISA were insufficient to the C.I.. Thus, the creation of ANVISA was essential to have a regulatory basis fot the C.I.

Evaluation of the Brazilian Cosmetic Legislation and its impact on the industries during the 20th century

“…Some problems mentioned were: the reality of the service structure, the lack of opportunity for the pharmacist in the public system, and the lack of aid and incentive from the academic institutions for this activity. Estefan (1986), in his article on the teaching of pharmacy that, since the curricular reform of 1969, and 822 institution of the minimum curriculum, Pharmacy Faculties, generally speaking, refused to be concerned with the public health system, and decided to train pharmacists for the private labour sector. Belaciano (1996) and Neves and Spinelli (2008) showed that disciplines related to collective health are marginalized in the health courses of the universities.…”

Pharmaceutical assistance within the SUS: the experience of students in Rural Internship from a Pharmacy Course

Perini

et al. 2009

The 2002 Brazilian Curricular Lines established a new curriculum for Pharmacy Programs, including amplified information about the Unified Health System (SUS). Following this, some Colleges have implemented a Rural Internship (RI) discipline, as a way to promote: a) adequate information on the SUS, and b) students' interaction with pharmaceutical assistance. In this study we analyzed the perceptions of students enrolled in the Rural Internship program of the undergraduate Pharmacy Program at the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Eight students participated in this study and their perceptions and ideas were obtained by focus groups, both before and after the RI. This information was analyzed by content analysis. The students had a fragmented, distorted view on assistance, before as well as after taking the RI. Nevertheless, the RI provided students with a view of the professional realities and difficulties routinely faced by pharmacists in the public health system. The RI course of the Pharmacy Programs was viewed as an opportunity to improve the professional work within the SUS.Uniterms: Pharmaceutical assistance. Pharmacy/education. Unified Health System.

Para atender a esta demanda, algumas Faculdades têm implantado a disciplina de Internato Rural (IR) como forma de viabilizar o ensino para o SUS e a interação do aluno com a assistência farmacêutica. Este trabalho analisa a concepção de alunos do IR do Curso de Farmácia da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais sobre a assistência farmacêutica e sobre a atividade do profissional farmacêutico no SUS. A coleta das informações foi realizada por meio da técnica do grupo focal antes e após o IR. Para a análise dos discursos foi utilizada a técnica da análise de conteúdo. Participaram do estudo oito estudantes. Observou-se que os alunos apresentavam uma visão fragmentada sobre a assistência, tanto antes como após o internato. O IR proporcionou aos estudantes uma visão da realidade e o reconhecimento das dificuldades que o profissional ainda enfrenta nos serviços. Além disso, notou-se que a disciplina de internato no curso de farmácia pode ser uma alternativa que contribui para a atuação e a formação do farmacêutico para o SUS.Unitermos: Assistência farmacêutica.

INTRODUCTIONDespite the countless challenges that the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde -SUS) has faced since its institution in 1988, its creation has enabled a number of advances in the Brazilian public health domain (Marin, 2003). One improvement was the National Policy of Medications, 1998, which redefined pharmaceutical assistance and considers it as a cycle of activities dedicated to individual and collective health promotion, prevention and recuperation, centered on medication and destined to support community health (Brasil, 1998). At this time, some a...

“…Since its implementation in the beginning of 1832, pharmacy education has undergone numerous changes (Leite et al, 2008;Barbério, 2005;Estefan, 1986) so that professionals are trained to meet the demands of the society. Resolution pharmacist with "generalist, humanistic, critical, and reflective training that is ready to act with scientific and intellectual rigor at all levels of healthcare" (Brasil, 2002).…”

Pharmacists’ Educational Training and Professional Activities at the Municipal Level of the Brazilian National Health System

Santos

et al. 2022

Brazilian pharmacists' education and training aims to prepare them for the various activities they will undertake during professional practice, especially in the national health system (SUS). By using an exploratory transversal study based on a validated questionnaire, we have characterized the educational and training background of pharmacists working in SUS municipal units in Ribeirão Preto, State of São Paulo (SP), Brazil, and the frequency with which these professionals carry out several activities. Pharmacists working in these municipal outpatient units (N=44) graduated between 1981 and 2014 (56.8% of them graduated from public state or federal institutions), are predominantly female (84%), and are aged 25-57 years; 34% of these pharmacists have a "Generalist" degree, and 90.9% attended postgraduate programs, mostly specialization (75%). All the pharmacists pointed out the need for continuing education. The frequency with which they carry out activities varies, but those involving direct contact with patients predominate. Consultations, therapeutic follow-up, case discussions, and health promotion activities take place only occasionally. We concluded that pharmacists who work in the municipality of Ribeirão Preto, SP, are very much involved with dispensing, but not with health education or pharmacotherapeutic follow-up, so investing in education and training in these areas is necessary.
