Interprofessional health education teacher training in University of Chile

The first interprofessional course, which included the 8 undergraduate health programs at the Faculty of Medicine, the University of Chile was implemented in 2015. For 700 students, 35 teachers were trained as facilitators. The use of several strategies to train facilitators in interprofessional health education, such as working in small groups, role-playing, case analysis, personal development workshops with experts' participation, teamwork skills, feedback, videos, and reading articles, proved to be helpful. Facilitators highlighted the use of syllabi as a fundamental tool for teaching and coordination. This guide describes the experience in interprofessional health education teacher training from 2015 to 2019, highlighting the following lessons learned: the importance of support from university authorities, raising awareness of the faculty about interprofessional health education and collaborative practice, creating a teachers’ coordination team including representatives from all health programs, and ongoing monitoring and feedback from participants.

Extensão universitária e formação em saúde: experiências de um grupo tutorial do PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade

A extensão universitária é um componente da formação que permite uma aprendizagem teórico-prática, maximizando o ensino obtido em sala de aula. O Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde/PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade é um programa que objetiva o aperfeiçoamento e a especialização em serviço e estímulo à prática colaborativa. Este estudo relata as atividades desenvolvidas por um grupo tutorial do PET-Saúde Interprofissionalidade, da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, no primeiro ano do programa. Trata-se de um relato de experiência, desenvolvido por estudantes (bolsistas de Farmácia, Medicina e Odontologia), dois professores (tutores, com formação em Odontologia e Fisioterapia) e cinco profissionais de saúde (preceptores, sendo 4 enfermeiras e 1 cirurgiã-dentista) no município de Feira de Santana – Bahia, tendo, como cenário de prática, o Centro de Atenção ao Diabético e Hipertenso. As ações foram desenvolvidas de abril a dezembro de 2019, e tiveram os resultados sistematizados em dois eixos: promoção da integração ensino-serviço-comunidade e desenvolvimento da docência e preceptoria em saúde. No eixo 1, desenvolveram-se oficinas de capacitação, reuniões, ações interprofissionais e de educação em saúde e elaboração de procedimentos operacionais padrão. No eixo 2, as atividades desenvolvidas permitiram a aproximação dos participantes com metodologias ativas de ensino, além de estimular a construção de artigos e apresentação de trabalhos em eventos. As ações realizadas contemplaram o diagnóstico situacional, atividades formativas e de educação em saúde, além do estímulo à produção científica, propiciando a reflexão dos participantes sobre a importância do cuidado interprofissional ao paciente diabético e hipertenso.

Percepções sobre a importância da educação interprofissional na formação dos profissionais de saúde: relato de experiência de um grupo do PET–Saúde/Interprofissionalidade

O processo de educação interprofissional em saúde acontece quando duas ou mais profissões trabalham em conjunto, aprendendo entre si, com a outra e sobre a outra. Com o intuito de desenvolver o trabalho colaborativo e almejando melhorias na qualidade da assistência em saúde, especialmente no que tange ao contexto do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), o Programa de Educação para o Trabalho em Saúde (PET-Saúde), articulado com instituições de ensino superior e instituições públicas de saúde, prepara e forma profissionais com a atenção voltada para o trabalho coletivo em serviços do SUS. Para que isso de fato aconteça, leva-se em consideração a realidade e necessidade de saúde de uma dada regiãoonde esses profissionais vão atuar diretamente, bem como, uma sólida formação metodológica prévia sobre o assunto. Este relato de experiência demonstra a contribuição do PET-Saúde na formação de estudantes de diversas áreas da saúde daUniversidade Estadual de Feira de Santana e no desenvolvimento de ações práticas frente a uma dada comunidade, ações essas fundamentadas nos princípios da interprofissionalidade e do trabalho em equipe. AbstractThe process of interprofessional health education happens when two or more professions work together, learning among themselves, with the other and about the other. In order to develop collaborative work and aiming for improvements in the quality of health care, especially with regard to context of Unified Health System, the Education Program for Health Work (EPHW), articulated with health institutions, prepares and trains professionals with a focus on collective work in these services. For this actually happen, the reality and the health needs of a given region, where these professionals will work directly, are taken into account, as well as a solid prior methodological training on the subject. This experience report demonstrates the contribution of EPHW/Interprofessionality in the training of students from different areas of health by the State University of Feira de Santana and in the development of practical actions before a given community. These actions are based on the principles of interprofessionality and team work.

Interprofessional health education and its impact on integral healthcare

Background Interprofessionality is a tool for optimizing the human resources available towards the consolidation of a resolutive healthcare. However, applying it is a challenge due to the fragmented training of health professionals. Objective to describe the experience of planning and executing an interprofessional health education activity. Methods An educational workshop was developed aiming at interprofessional health practice. A clinical case was distributed, which addressed the story of an elderly person who suffered a stroke and lived with the sequels of this episode in addition to emotional trauma from the experience. Each professional was asked to define a therapeutic proposal for the case and one of them was invited to present his proposal and complement it based on the suggestions of the other members. Results the workshop enabled the perception that, in isolation, no profession would be able to fully contemplate the patient's needs. Therefore, it encouraged the use of integrated action between different professionals by demonstrating that punctual and disjointed actions would not be sufficient to act effectively in the care and needs related to the individual's health. Conclusions the final product of this workshop resulted in a consistent activity contemplated by multiple perspectives, experiences and knowledges which would not be so successful if planned in isolation by a single professional group. Key messages Due to its low cost, interprofessional action responds to the new health needs of contemporary times and its implementation is of great value in combating the fragmented trend in health training. The interprofessional view is a common ground to health not only where the study took place but worldwide, consolidating itself as a valuable asset to the construction of integral healthcare.
