Educational actions in human communication health: telehealth contributions in primary care

Abstract

Objective: to characterize educational actions related to human communication health produced at the Tele-Health Center for health professionals in primary care. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted at the Tele-Health Center at the Federal University of Pernambuco Clinical Hospital. Educational actions produced by tele-consultants between 2008 and 2014 linked to the health of human communication were considered. Data collection was conducted in two phases. In the first phase, the data were explored and educational actions were selected based on the title and the relationship with human communication. In the second phase, each action was observed and evaluated for content. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: a few educational actions related to human communication health were concentrated in 2014. Throughout the period analyzed, the actions were restricted to the field of language and concentrated on the education issue as well as the strategic area of child and adolescent health. The most frequent occupational category among the tele-consultants was nursing. Conclusion: a small number of educational actions addressing the health of human communication was produced and the participation of speech therapists remains incipient.

“…Recent studies involving telehealth report that one of the major challenges is achieving the engagement of health teams due to the low affinity with the technologies involved, connectivity difficulties or the non-incorporation of this practice in the work routine [25][26][27] .

“…Studies addressing the contribution of teleeducation report that this service is an important option for continuing education, enabling health professionals to engage in reflective, theoretical discussions based on the needs of the local population 18,26,30,31 .…”

“…Legal assistance was instituted in 2013 by the Federal Speech Therapy Board through Resolution nº 427 17 , which regulates telehealth actions in speech therapy. Health professionals in the field of human communication can use these resources in the context of primary care to improve their knowledge, ensuring access to alternative technologies that can improve the quality of life of individuals and communities 18 .…”
