Abstract:Ciência da Informação.
RESUMOAs atividades de produção/divulgação de informações foram otimizadas pela facilidade de comunicação oferecida pela internet, e a produção científica cresce cada vez mais. Com foco nas facilidades de acesso à informação científica oferecidas pela tecnologia, o objetivo é evidenciar os benefícios da aplicação da Disseminação Seletiva da Informação (SDI) na formação de profissionais da saúde, a partir da análise do web site Amedeo. Faz-se um estudo comparativo, de modo a verificar com… Show more
“…(30) The Brazilian Federal Medical Council reported that 95% of physicians in southeastern Brazil, answering to a survey, informed that they needed to update their knowledge, and 83% needed to improve their technical qualifications. (25) This study demonstrated that physicians in intensive care units seek professional updates using the internet and scientific events.…”

Objective: This study described the sociodemographic profile and professional qualifications of pediatric intensive care physicians in the State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ), southeastern Brazil.Methods: This investigation was an observational, cross-sectional and descriptive study that was conducted in neonatal, pediatric and mixed intensive care units in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Physicians working in the participating intensive care units voluntarily completed a semistructured and anonymous questionnaire. Questionnaires that were not returned within 30 days were considered lost, and questionnaires with less than 75% questions completed were excluded. The differences in neonatal and pediatric intensive care physicians' medical training were compared using the Chisquared test with a 5% significance level.Results: A total of 410 physicians were included in this study: 84% female, 48% between 30 and 39 years old and 45% with monthly incomes between US $1,700 to 2,700. Forty percent of these physicians worked exclusively in this specialty, and 72% worked in more than one intensive care unit. Only 50% of the participants had received specific training (either medical residency or specialization) in neonatology, and only 33% were board-certified specialists in this area. Only 27% of the physicians had received specific training in pediatric intensive care medicine, and only 17% were board-certified specialists (p < 0.0005 for both comparisons). Most (87%) physicians had participated in scientific events within the past 5 years, and 55% used the internet for continued medical education. However, only 25% had participated in any research. Most (63%) physicians were dissatisfied with their professional activity; 49% were dissatisfied due to working conditions, 23% due to low incomes and 18% due to training-related issues.Conclusion: These results suggested that the medical qualifications of neonatal and pediatric intensive care physicians in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil are inadequate, especially in pediatric intensive care medicine. A high level of dissatisfaction was reported, which may jeopardize the quality of medical assistance that is provided by these professionals.

“…Souto (2006) sugere que a Ciência da Informação exerce um papel importante na atualização dos profissionais da área da saúde, enquanto instrumento para a educação continuada, e evidencia os benefícios de se aplicar a Disseminação Seletiva da Informação na formação de profissionais da saúde. Lopes (2000, p.285) declara que a MBE se traduz pela prática da medicina em um contexto em que a experiência clínica é integrada com a capacidade de analisar criticamente e aplicar racionalmente a informação científica de forma a melhorar a qualidade da assistência médica.…”

RESUMOAs pesquisas acadêmicas e aquelas envolvendo a tomada de decisões clínicas apresentam-se de forma justaposta na prática dos pesquisadores da área da saúde, necessitando aperfeiçoamento e especialização de novas habilidades essenciais aos profissionais da informação. Partindo dessa premissa, resolvemos investigar, na literatura da área, publicações que tratassem ao mesmo tempo das temáticas: Medicina Baseada em Evidências e Information Literacy/Competência Informacional. O objetivo deste trabalho foi não apenas conceituar Medicina Baseada em Evidências e Information Literacy/Competência em Informação por meio de revisão de literatura, como também assinalar a confluência dessas temáticas na prática dos pesquisadores da área da saúde. Como resultado desta análise, verificou-se que o profissional da informação necessita conhecer seus usuários, o modo como a informação se organiza e como ela se apresenta, para obter melhores resultados de busca, reduzir incertezas e, ao mesmo tempo, proporcionar aos pesquisadores da área da saúde maior suporte para tomada de decisão. Concluiu-se que uma demanda por informação exige, diretamente, que o profissional da informação aplique sua competência para atendê-la, recorrendo a sua capacitação e conhecimento dos meios para chegar à informação adequada, utilizando as ferramentas corretas, respondendo à demanda sem deixar dúvidas de confiabilidade. Esse profissional, como mediador, muito contribui para a prática da Medicina Baseada em Evidências e para a divulgação de serviços e acessos, educação e promoção da competência em informação dos pesquisadores.Palavras-chave: competência informacional; medicina baseada em evidências; profissional da informação.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
