- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)O Ensino da sexualidade nos cursos médicos: a percepção de estudantes do Piauí(Associação Brasileira de Educação Médica, 2013-06-01) Rufino, Andréa Cronemberger; Madeiro, Alberto Pereira; Girão, Manoel João Batista Castello [UNIFESP]; Universidade Estadual do Piauí; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)We conducted a descriptive and cross-sectional study with 242 medical undergraduates at two public universities and two private colleges in Teresina, Piauí. A semi-structured questionnaire to understand how human sexuality was taught in medical courses was applied. The questionnaire response rate was 86.3%. The teaching of sexuality was identified by 95.2% of students at some time during the course. Gynecology was the discipline that discussed sexuality the most (91.9%), followed by Psychiatry (55.3%), Medical Psychology (30.6%) and Urology (24.1%). Sexuality was cited as a specific topic in only 8.4% of the reports, but it was reported in classes about other topics such as cancer (70.9%), abortion (67.5%), STD and HIV/AIDS (67%). In class, the teacher emphasized sexual dysfunctions (84.1%), with less emphasis on homosexuality (50%) and sexual and reproductive rights (40.6%). Students indicated that there were positive influences of sexual education in undergraduate study (96.1%). There was great emphasis on the discussion of biological aspects and diseases associated with sexuality, with less emphasis on the social construction of the theme and sexual orientation.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Estilo de vida e formação médica: impacto sobre o perfil nutricional(Associação Brasileira de Educação Médica, 2012-09-01) Mota, Maria Carliana; Souza, Daurea Abadia de; Mello, Marco Tulio de [UNIFESP]; Tufik, Sergio [UNIFESP]; Crispim, Cibele Aparecida [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de Uberlândia; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)The training of the medical profession imposes harmful changes to lifestyle, which predisposes to weight gain. The aim of this study was to review the prevalence of overweight and obesity and possible causative factors in these rates in medical students (MS) and residents physicians (RP). We conducted a search of the databases online: PubMed / Medline (U.S. National Library of Medicine), Scielo and Lilacs with the keywords: medical students and residents associated with each of the terms: body mass index (BMI), obesity, overweight, food intake, sendentarism and sleep, and using the translation of these terms for the English language Thirty one studies were selected, where 25 were performed with EM, five with MR and one with both the populations. Sixteen studies indicated high prevalences of overweight and obesity (ranging between 15% and 83%). Regarding factors associated with weight gain, have stand out inadequate food intake. The excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep deprivation and sedentarism were widely identified. These results underscore the need to develop actions to minimize the negative effects of routine imposed by the process of medical training, especially those aspects related to excess weight.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Inquérito nacional sobre as ligas acadêmicas de Medicina Intensiva(Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira - AMIB, 2008-03-01) Neves, Flávia Branco Cerqueira Serra; Vieira, Patrícia Sena; Cravo, Elaine Andrade; Dias, Maria; Bitencourt, Almir; Guimarães, Hélio Penna [UNIFESP]; Feitosa-Filho, Gilson Soares; Orlando, José Maria da Costa; Liga Acadêmica de Medicina Intensiva da Bahia; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Sociedade Brasileira de Clínica Médica; Santa Casa de Misericórdia da Bahia Hospital Santa IzabelBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The Brazilian Intensive Care Medicine Association (AMIB) has been stimulating the creation of undergraduate associations/study groups on Critical Care Medicine (CCM), considering them a useful instrument to fill gaps in professional formation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the activities developed by CCM undergraduate study groups in Brazil. METHODS: The analyzed information was obtained on answers to a standard questionnaire. Contact by e-mail and/or telephone was made with representatives of all study groups registered on AMIB Committee of Undergraduate Study Groups on CCM (LIGAMI-AMIB) in September of 2007. In that period, there were 33 groups associated to LIGAMI, which 4 doesn't exist anymore, 17 answered to the sent questionnaire and the remaining 12 didn't answer the questionnaire or it was not obtained contact. RESULTS: Most study groups were founded after 2005, coinciding with the LIGAMI-AMIB Committee creation, and they are linked to one or more medical schools. Among the group's activities, the most frequent was theoretical classes (100%), usually supplied by teachers or invited physicians (69%). Other activities include practices on Intensive Care Units (88%), organization of scientific events (77%) and research projects (65%). Most study groups (65%) had already organized some scientific event such as courses and symposia; however, only three had already accomplished the AMIB CCM Introductory Course. CONCLUSIONS: The growing number of CCM undergraduate study groups in Brazil demonstrates students' interest for this specialty. Besides, there is a necessity of larger integration between existing groups to change experiences, cooperate in the accomplishment of research projects and participation on national and international events.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosSexuality Education in Brazilian Medical Schools(Wiley-Blackwell, 2014-05-01) Rufino, Andrea Cronemberger; Madeiro, Alberto; Batista Castello Girao, Manoel Joao [UNIFESP]; Univ Estadual Piaui; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)IntroductionSexuality education has been valued since the 1960s in medical schools worldwide. Although recent studies reaffirm the importance of incorporating sexuality into medical education, there are data gaps concerning how this happens in Brazil.AimTo understand how Brazilian medical school professors teach sexuality in undergraduate courses.MethodsAn exploratory, cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. A total of 207 professors from 110 Brazilian medical schools responded to an online semistructured questionnaire about the characteristics of the sexuality-related topics offered.Main Outcome MeasuresThe main variables assessed were contact hours devoted to sexuality, disciplines in which sexuality topics were taught, sexuality-related course titles, and sexuality-related topics addressed. Questionnaires were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics for frequency distribution.ResultsThe response rate to the questionnaire was 77.2%. Almost all professors (96.3%) addressed sexuality-related topics mainly in the third and fourth years as clinical disciplines, with a 6-hour load per discipline. Gynecology was the discipline in which sexuality-related topics were most often taught (51.5%), followed by urology (18%) and psychiatry (15%). Sexuality-related topics were addressed mainly in classes on sexually transmitted diseases and AIDS (62.4%) and on the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system (55.4%). About 25% of the professors reported teaching courses with a sexuality-related title. There was emphasis on the impact of diseases and sexual habits (87.9%) and sexual dysfunction (75.9%). Less than 50% of professors addressed nonnormative sexuality or social aspects of sexuality.ConclusionsThe teaching of sexuality in Brazilian medical schools occurred in a nonstandardized and fragmented fashion across several disciplines. the topic was incorporated with an organic and pathological bias, with a weak emphasis on the social aspects of sexuality and the variety of human sexual behaviors. the results point to the need for change in the provision of sexuality education in Brazilian medical schools.
