“…The results of this research can also be supported by a descriptive exploratory study on nursing courses in Minas Gerais, which showed that most of the courses focuses on privatized teaching [14]. In contrast, research conducted in a teaching hospital in Minas Gerais noted that the majority of nurses (60.0%) received their training in public institutions [5].…”

“…Regarding length of training, length of professional experience, of working time in the institution and of working time in the sector, Brazilian studies confirm these findings, since most professionals had had more than five years of professional experience [5,8]. Diverging from these results, another Brazilian study conducted in a Teaching Hospital of Triangulo Mineiro noted that professionals had a mean of 144.25 months of training, 147.07 months of professional experience, 117.73 months of work in the studied institution and mean of 80.74 months of work in the sector [6].…”

“…A study conducted in the ICU of a university hospital in Minas Gerais showed that 89.0% of the respondents reported having received information about the transfusion process [5]. Unlike the results, studies conducted with nurses in Jordan and Mali, in West Africa, revealed that the majority (92.4% and 70.9%, respectively) had never received any training on the subject since their graduation [17,18].…”

Objectives: To assess the knowledge of nursing team professionals of a specialized hospital in oncology on transfusion practices and to identify factors associated with knowledge. Methods:Observational, analytical, cross-sectional study held in a large and philanthropic Brazilian hospital, specialized in oncology. The unsystematic sample consisted of 61 nursing professionals who worked at the hospital. For data collection, researchers was used a validated tool of checklist type. The descriptive statistics was held in the univariate analysis and the t-test and Pearson correlation in the bivariate analysis. Results:The average overall score of knowledge was 53.6%; in the pre-transfusion step it was 49.6%; in the transfusion step, 55.7% and in the post-transfusion step, 63.4%. Factors associated with knowledge included the participation in specific training courses on the subject, having post-graduate degrees, the search for information in the literature, the adoption or knowledge of any standard and/ or guidelines related to the transfusion process, making use of the sector's manual of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and number of participation in training courses.

BackgroundBlood transfusions are one of the most performed medical procedures in the world. Thus, as education in transfusion medicine is vital to medical care, it should aim to promote a responsible practice with the rational use of blood by doctors. This study aims to investigate the situation of the teaching of transfusion medicine in medical schools in Brazil.MethodThe websites of the 249 Brazilian medical schools in operation in June 2015 were visited and the curricula of the medical courses were investigated in respect to the presence or absence of a transfusion medicine discipline. When available, the subject grids were analyzed to verify whether a description of content regarding transfusion medicine was given within other disciplines.ResultsOf the 249 medical school sites visited, information on the curriculum was obtained from 178. Of the medical schools that published their curriculum, 132 (74.1%) did not have disciplines of transfusion medicine or hematology and only seven (3.9%) had a discipline of transfusion medicine in the curricular grid.ConclusionsEducation on transfusion medicine is of fundamental importance for safe and efficient transfusion practices. Deficiencies in medical knowledge of this subject have been found worldwide. The results of this study indicate a possible deficiency in teaching the basics of this specialty. Thus, additional prospective studies to assess the knowledge and practice of transfusion medicine in Brazilian medical schools are warranted, which could prompt a discussion on the importance of offering training in transfusion medicine to medical students.

BackgroundMedical education has a major social impact because it ultimately influences the quality and safety of the health service offered to the population. Several studies have acknowledged the relationship between medical knowledge on transfusion medicine and the proper use of this therapy. The rational use of blood has become a worldwide concern. In this context, the aim of the present study was to evaluate medical residents’ knowledge on transfusion medicine in hospitals located in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and their training during their medical education.MethodsOne hundred and six residents from eight medical specialties of four hospitals participated. A questionnaire developed by the Biomedical Excellence for Safer Transfusion (BEST) group was applied to evaluate the participants’ medical knowledge. Another questionnaire was also applied to evaluate participant profiles regarding frequency of transfusion prescriptions, self-perceived knowledge and relevance of the subject.ResultsThe mean number of correct answers to the questionnaire on knowledge about transfusion practices was 43.5% (range: 15–80%). A relationship between training during medical residency and the obtained result was observed (p-value = 0.0007). Most residents (73%) did not receive training in transfusion medicine during their graduation or residency and 93% would like to receive additional training.ConclusionA clear deficit in the knowledge of transfusion medicine was verified, indicating the need for change in the teaching of this specialty. This result is similar to some developed countries.
