Título: Avaliação do conhecimento sobre planejamento reprodutivo nas alunas de medicina. Abstract: Prolonged medical training often coincides with the period of greatest female reproductive potential, leading many medical students to postpone motherhood. In this context, knowledge about ovarian reserve and age-related fertility decline becomes particularly relevant for these women’s future reproductive planning. Although the progressive reduction in fertility and the increase in gestational risks with advancing age are well established in the literature, evidence suggests that important knowledge gaps persist even among healthcare students. Limited understanding of the biological limits of fertility, combined with an overestimation of the possibilities of assisted reproduction, may influence delayed reproductive decisions. Therefore, assessing medical students’ knowledge about ovarian reserve is essential, given its relevance to reproductive health and informed decision-making throughout life. Objective: To evaluate the level of knowledge of female medical students regarding issues related to their future reproductive planning. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional, observational, quantitative study with an educational intervention and reassessment of reproductive health knowledge among medical students. An anonymous Likert-scale questionnaire was administered before a lecture and 60 days after the intervention. The approximately 25 minute lecture addressed reproductive health topics and was followed by a questionand-answer session. Results: Fourteen questions were analyzed. A statistically significant increase was observed in knowledge about ovum donation (p < 0.001) and in recognition of the concept of ovarian reserve (p < 0.05). No significant differences were found in the remaining variables. The findings indicate that the intervention was effective in increasing declarative knowledge, without significant impact on fertility-related behaviors Tipo: Dissertação

Percepções e práticas da equipe de saúde sobre o controle térmico de recém-nascidos prematuros na linha do cuidado

Título: Percepções e práticas da equipe de saúde sobre o controle térmico de recém-nascidos prematuros na linha do cuidado Abstract: Introduction: Maintaining the body temperature of premature newborns in the delivery room and upon admission to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a challenge for all professionals involved in the care process. Hypothermia in premature newborns should be avoided because it is a marker of short- and long-term prognosis. Prevention is also an important strategy in the "Golden Hour" (or first hour of life) care guideline for preterm births. Maintaining thermal homeostasis is a competency of professionals providing first aid to these vulnerable newborns. Objective: To explore the barriers and facilitators perceived by healthcare professionals in controlling the temperature of premature newborns in the delivery room and NICU, identifying organizational, human, and technical factors that influence the quality of care. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional, qualitative study with an exploratory and interpretative approach. Data were collected through individual, anonymous interviews with a sample of healthcare professionals (nursing technicians, physicians, and physical therapists) who work directly with premature newborns in the delivery room and neonatal ICU of a public and private hospital in Sorocaba, São Paulo. The data were evaluated using thematic content analysis. Partial results: After 20 interviews, it was observed that hierarchical rigidity in the distribution of functions, lack of alignment in protocol implementation, and deficient communication between teams and shifts caused work fragmentation. Environmental challenges, exemplified by the lack of air conditioning temperature control in the workplace, encompass both technical and human relations aspects. Reports on turnover among professionals without specific training and the lack of formal training are believed to have a decisive influence on thermal control. Discussion: Recognizing the first hour of life as a critical window in the thermal control of premature infants, the gaps between problem situation assessment, decision-making, and action in situations of thermal vulnerability in premature infants are problematized, highlighting the importance of multidisciplinary dialogue in aligning interests in the line of care Tipo: Dissertação

A extensão universitária na área da saúde: uma revisão integrativa

2025-11-20T04:04:05Z

Título: A extensão universitária na área da saúde: uma revisão integrativa Abstract: Introduction: Contemporary medical education faces the challenge of integrating technical-scientific knowledge with the ethical, societal, and humanistic dimensions of care. University extension, provided for in the national curricular guidelines and the national education plan, emerges as a powerful strategy for this process, by articulating teaching, service, and community. Objective: to analyze the scientific production on extension activities in the health field, especially the medical field Method: this study carried out an integrative literature review. The research was conducted in databases such as Periodic CAPES, SciELO, Medline, and Lilacs, with a period between 2015 and 2024. Strict inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, resulting in the selection of three scientific articles. The date were organized in spreadsheets and analyzed qualitatively. Results: despite the scarcity of publications on the subject, the experiences reported indicate positive impacts of extension on the critical, ethical and humanized training of students. Strengthening ties with the community, developing interpersonal skills and encouraging reflection on the social role of the physician. Challenges such as the low institutionalization of extension and structural limitations persist. Considerations: university extension has significant formative potential and requires greater institution recognition and integration into curriculum. Expanding scientific production is essential to consolidate it as a structuring axis of medical education in Brazil Tipo: Dissertação

Análise da percepção dos discentes sobre o atual projeto pedagógico do curso de Medicina da PUC-SP

Título: Análise da percepção dos discentes sobre o atual projeto pedagógico do curso de Medicina da PUC-SP Abstract: The Medical School of the Faculty of Medicine of Sorocaba, currently known as the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences (FCMS) of PUC-SP, began its academic activities in 1950, with the support of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of São Paulo (USP). Its curriculum was heavily influenced by Flexnerian principles, centered on medical specialization and primarily curative practices, in line with the rigorous standards for medical education of that time. In response to emerging demands in the national context of medical education, particularly those related to new pedagogical conceptions, the FCMS concluded, in 2006, the implementation of its new Curricular Pedagogical Project (CPP), extending the internship period to two years, introducing active teaching-learning methodologies, ensuring early contact of students with patients, and incorporating clinical disciplines from the initial years of the program. Since then, several adjustments have been made to the curriculum, which became a "living" instrument, evolving through spontaneous adaptations or scheduled periodic reviews. The main objective of this study was to assess, from the students' perspective, how the pedagogical activities of the FCMS–PUC-SP medical course is currently being conducted, eighteen years after the implementation of the new curriculum, which brought significant changes compared to the previous one. A questionnaire was developed using Google Forms® and responses were analyzed through a qualitative approach using the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) methodology, supported by the DSCSoft® software. A total of 47 students participated, providing open-ended responses regarding the strengths and weaknesses of each teaching activity and the formative assessments introduced with the curricular reform. They also offered spontaneous reflections about the whole course. The most highly rated activities were those with a strong practical component, such as Skills Training, Clinical Internships, and Applied Content Sessions. Conversely, Mentorship was perceived as the least relevant to professional development. Formative assessments were reported to occur with some regularity (68.1%), yet infrequently, being conducted once a month or less in approximately 78% of cases. The Mini-CEX had been applied to only 27 students and, when formative feedback was given, it was often perceived as too brief and minimally beneficial. Analysis through the CSD method revealed that textual elaboration on strengths was sparse and notably less developed compared to the expression of weaknesses. Positive comments most frequently praised the pedagogical project and the use of active methodologies. In contrast, criticisms most often addressed the lack of standardization in teaching and assessment, the absence of a continuous faculty development program, the lack of periodic course evaluations and the insufficient organization and planning of educational activities. The reform of the Curricular Pedagogical Project at the PUC-SP School of Medicine was undoubtedly necessary for the modernization of the teachinglearning process. Making the student the protagonist of their own pursuit of knowledge also places upon them the weight of personal responsibility in that endeavor Tipo: Dissertação
