<p>Background: The global human resources for health crisis has affected Uganda deeply as is evidenced by grossly inadequate medical doctor to population ratios. Strategies to increase training and retention initiatives have been identified as the most promising ways to address the problem. In Uganda, the dual track tuition policy of higher education (called the Private Students Scheme or PSS) at the University of Makerere was initiated in the academic year 1993/94, to boost student intake and to supplement university revenue. However, the impact of this scheme on the enrolment and graduation of medical students at this University is unknown. Aim: This study aimed to assess the effect of the PSS on enrolment, time to completion, attrition and number of graduated medical students at Makerere University Medical School after (post-)&nbsp / the Private Students Scheme (PSS). Study design: A quantitative cross-sectional descriptive&nbsp / study based on a retrospective review of enrolment and graduation records of medical students was conducted comparing records of students enrolled five years before and after the&nbsp / privatisation scheme. Numbers enrolled, attrition rates, time to completion and graduation numbers were analysed. Results: There were 895 students enrolled in the study period, 612 (72.2%) males and 236 (27.6%) females. Pre- and post-PSS periods had 401 and 494 enrolments respectively (a net increase of 93 students). During the post-PSS period, 447 (90.5%) government&nbsp / sponsored students were enrolled - 351 (71.1%) males and 143 (28.9% females) / in the same period, 47 (9.5%) private students were enrolled, 30 (63.8%) male and 17 (36.2%) female.&nbsp / Graduation rates for the entire study period were 96% (859), which represented 44% (378) in the pre-PSS and 56% (481) in the post-PSS periods. Private students contributed 8.9% (43) of the graduates 9in the post-PSS period. The majority of students (90.4%) graduated in five years. Thirty four students (3.8%) dropped out in the entire period, constituting significantly more in the pre-PSS - 22 (5.5%) than in the&nbsp / post PSS-period - 12 (2.4%). Males were more likely to drop out: 31 males did so (4.4%) compared with 3 (1.2%) females. In the post-PSS period, males made up 83.3% (10/12) of the attrition&nbsp / rate. Nine of them were government sponsored while three were private students. Conclusions: The PSS resulted in a 10% increase in enrolments when compared to the pre-PSS period.&nbsp / Furthermore the number of private medical student enrolments contributed 8.9% of the total graduations indicating that PSS succeeded in increasing the number of medical doctors graduated at MUSM.

Emphasizes also the importance of commitment to social policies, particularly with those focused on the area of health. This is a case study with a qualitative approach. There was the lifting of data through documental research, from 14 portfolios of learning, which are weekly records of students from the respective discipline, corresponding to 2005.2 to 2007.2 semesters. From the analysis undertaken, inferred that the methodology problematizing, used by the discipline, enables students to understand that learning is not restricted to the confined university walls. It shows the health from a complex and concrete social reality, allowing students to an interdisciplinary dialogue in search of the transformation of this reality. It means an opportunity to interact with the dynamics of society in their area of activities, developing a relationship of solidarity in the formation of the citizen. Moreover, it was clear the direction of experienced interdisciplinary and recognized by students of various professions that make up the discipline. Thus, the SACI in preparation for construction of SUS, helps to form a new professional, more committed to the promotion and with a collective work in health / O presente estudo aborda a interdisciplinaridade na perspectiva da forma??o para o Sistema ?nico de Sa?de (SUS) na ?tica de estudantes da ?rea da sa?de da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) egressos da disciplina Sa?de e Cidadania (SACI).

Objetivos: Compreender aspectos da prática profissional e a sua correlação com a formação, para efetivar a linha de cuidado integral à saúde da criança na ESF. Identificar aspectos da formação profissional relacionados com a linha de cuidado integral à saúde da criança. Analisar se as práticas profissionais contemplam a singularidade do cuidado integral à saúde da criança. Descrever potencialidades e limitações das práticas profissionais, frente à singularidade da linha de cuidado integral à saúde da criança nas unidades de ESF. Indicar estratégias para reorientações da prática profissional perante a linha de cuidado integral à saúde da criança. Metodologia: Este trabalhou foi realizado em 2017 por meio de uma pesquisa de campo em uma unidade de ESF no município do Rio de Janeiro. A abordagem foi de natureza qualitativa, descritiva e exploratória, do tipo estudo de caso. Após aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa, realizou-se trabalho de campo com observação não participante e entrevistas com profissionais atuantes na ESF (médicos e enfermeiros), diretamente ligados à linha de cuidado integral à saúde da criança. Analisaram-se os dados a partir da análise temática. Resultados: Foram geradas três categorias: Fragilidade da formação acadêmica referente à temática saúde da criança na Atenção Primária à Saúde; Desconexão entre teoria e prática frente ao cuidado integral à saúde da criança; Entre muitos limites e algumas possibilidades na efetivação de práticas resolutivas. Conclusão: Considera-se que há um frágil preparo dos profissionais de saúde da ESF para efetivar a linha de cuidado integral à saúde da criança. Portanto, indicam-se ações de educação permanente aos profissionais para a qualificação das práticas, assim como a ampliação das discussões sobre o tema na formação acadêmica, o que poderá garantir à população infantil uma assistência resolutiva, integral e universal. Também foi construído um produto tendo por base as demandas do local, ou seja, uma proposta de complementações no prontuário eletrônico (PE) com um “guia” orientador às ações desempenhas pelos profissionais diante da linha de cuidado integral à saúde da criança. / It is a descriptive qualitative research that problematizes the practice of the Family Health Strategy (ESF) professional, considering the line of integral care to the child's health and the correlation with his academic formation. Objectives: To understand aspects of the professional practice and its correlation with the training to carry out the line of integral health care of the child in the FHS. Identify aspects of professional training related to the line of comprehensive child health care; To analyze if the professional practices contemplate the singularity of the integral health care of the child; Describe the potential and limitations of professional practices in relation to the uniqueness of the line of comprehensive child health care in FHS units; Indicate strategies for reorientation of professional practice towards the line of integral health care for the child. Methodology: Conducted in 2017 through a field work in an ESF unit in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The approach was qualitative, descriptive and exploratory, of the case study type. After approval by the Research Ethics Committee, fieldwork was carried out with non-participant observation and interviews with professionals working at the FHS (Physicians and Nurses), directly linked to the child's comprehensive health care line. Data analyzed from the thematic analysis. Results: Three categories were generated: Fragility of the academic formation related to the health issue of the child in the Primary Attention in Health; Disconnection between theory and practice regarding integral child health care; Among many limits and some possibilities in the implementation of resolutive practices. Conclusion: It is considered that there is a fragile preparation of the health professionals of the FHT to carry out the line of integral health care of the child. Therefore, permanent education actions are indicated to the professionals to qualify the practices, as well as the expansion of the discussions on the subject in the academic formation, which can guarantee to the child population a complete, universal and resolute assistance. A product was also built based on the demands of the place, that is, a proposal of complements in the electronic medical record (PE) with a "guide" guiding the actions performed by the professionals in front of the line of integral health care of the child.

Este estudo buscou analisar a aplicabilidade das tecnologias da informação e da comunicação na Educação Permanente dos profissionais auxiliares e técnicos de Enfermagem em um hospital público municipal. É um estudo do tipo ensaio clínico, que lançou mão de técnicas quantitativas e qualitativas através de um experimento que ocorreu em dois momentos. Assim, a população constituída de 32 profissionais auxiliares e técnicos de Enfermagem foi dividida em dois grupos. O primeiro grupo participou do programa de ensino presencial e o segundo, em casa, via computador, através de um ambiente virtual de aprendizagem, porém com encontros presenciais. Na coleta dos dados, foi utilizado um questionário pré e pós-curso, bem como um questionário de caracterização do sujeito. Os dados quantitativos mostraram que houve aumento da nota final em ambos os grupos. Percebemos que a nota final nos dois grupos foi muito parecida. Individualmente as notas dos participantes do grupo presencial aumentaram ou pelo menos se mantiveram. No grupo a distância, percebemos que alguns participantes diminuíram os resultados. O estudo mostra que é possível afirmar que o uso do ensino a distância nos programas de Educação Permanente em Saúde poderá representar um grande aliado no processo de ensino e aprendizagem na medida em que as dificuldades no uso do computador sejam superadas. Além disso, novos estudos sobre o uso de estratégias de ensino pautadas na utilização de recursos tecnológicos voltados para a formação e capacitação do nível técnico em Enfermagem podem contribuir para profissionais reflexivos e capazes de transformação para a qualidade. Novas possibilidades educacionais surgiram a partir da criação de uma nova cultura de aprendizado, contribuindo para que o ensino técnico seja mais participativo e o profissional visto como sujeito ativo do processo. / The changes in the workplace have required constant updating of knowledge from the professionals, which enables them to develop a critical and reflective attitude. This study aimed to analyze the applicability of information and communication technologies in continuing education of nursing auxiliaries and nursing technicians in a public district hospital. This study is one of the type clinical trial, which made use of quantitative and qualitative techniques. The experiment took place in two moments. The study population consisted of 32 professionals: nursing auxiliaries and nursing technicians who were divided into two groups. The first participated in the face-to-face teaching program and the second at home, via computer, through a virtual learning environment; however, with face-to-face meetings. For data collection, a pre and post-course questionnaire was used, as well as a questionnaire for the characterization of the subject. Quantitative data showed that there was an increase of the final grade in both groups. We perceived that the final average in both groups was very similar. Individual grades of the face-to-face group participants increased or at least remained. Regarding the distance learning group, we realized that some participants decreased their results. The study shows that it is possible to affirm that the use of distance teaching modality in continuing education programs in health can be a great ally in the teaching and learning process, in so far as the difficulties concerning the use of computer are overcome. In addition, further studies on the use of teaching strategies based on the use of technological resources for training and capacity building of the technical level in nursing can contribute to form reflective professionals as well as capable of transformation to ensure the quality. New educational possibilities have emerged from the creation of a new culture of learning, contributing to more participatory technical education and to the professional who is seen as an active subject in the process.

Os dados foram coletadas no período de janeiro de 2014 a novembro de 2015. Para atender a análise e tratamento quantitativos os dados foram tabulados em uma planilha do programa MS Excel® e analisados por meio de estatística descritiva. Para os objetivos qualitativos foram realizados uma análise descritiva de frequência e porcentagem para cada um dos itens dos instrumentos de coleta de dados aplicados, como também através da descrição da percepção subjetiva contidas nos questionários. A pesquisa observou os preceitos éticos contidos na resolução na resolução 466/2012. Aprovado com o número do parecer: 722.172 em 18/07/2014. Resultados: Considerando os critérios de qualificação 73,8% (n=404) aptas para a doação do SCUP, enquanto que nos critérios de desqualificação 89% (n=490) aptas. Apontaram que 62,5% (n=345) das pacientes da maternidade-escola estariam aptas para a doação do sangue do cordão umbilical e placentário, dependendo do seu consentimento. A oficina teórica teve um efeito positivo e significativo no aprendizado para os participantes da pesquisa. As oficinas práticas da CSCUP aconteceram no período de setembro a novembro de 2015, foram realizadas no centro obstétrico da ME/UFRJ, totalizando 18 oficinas e houve a participação de 20 enfermeiros participantes da pesquisa, nesse período foram coletadas 87 bolsas do SCUP. Após o término das oficinas práticas os enfermeiros participantes se sentiram aptos para realizarem a coleta SCUP. Conclusão: A Maternidade-Escola da UFRJ tem aptidão para ser posto de CSCUP com um grande diferencial: que os enfermeiros devidamente capacitados da instituição poderão realizar as coletas SCUP. Houve aprimoramento dos conhecimentos para enfermeiros em relação ao processo da coleta do sangue do cordão umbilical e placentário. A pesquisa possibilitou elaborar um programa de educação de capacitação para a coleta SCUP contribuindo para que as outras maternidades públicas com perfil de posto de coleta também possam usar este programa como modelo para capacitar os enfermeiros no processo de CSCUP. Assim as instituições poderão ser mais um posto de coleta SCUP. / Introduction: The umbilical cord blood acts as a connection between the placenta and the fetus during pregnancy. It contains stem cells and can be used as a source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. General objective: To analyze the training of nurses for the process of UCB collection, considering specific aspects of the hospital Maternidade Escola/UFRJ as a collection station. Specific objectives: 1 - To outline the profile of potential placenta and cord blood donors at UFRJ´s Maternidade Escola hospital. 2 – To define nurses’ training in the placental and umbilical cord blood collection process at UFRJ´s Maternidade Escola hospital. 3 – To assess nurses' training in the placental and umbilical cord blood collection process at UFRJ´s Maternidade Escola hospital. 4 – To elaborate a training program for nurses in the placental and umbilical cord blood collection process at UFRJ´s Maternidade Escola hospital. Method: The objective of the first phase of the research is to outline the profile of potential placenta and cord blood donors at UFRJ´s Maternidade Escola hospital using the case study methodology. The following stages resorted to the action research methodology, with descriptive data conducted with 20 nurses at the public Hospital Maternidade Escola in Rio de Janeiro. Several sources of information were used to collect data (documentary research, interviews, participant observation) in order to establish the participants' different perspectives, and also get multiple measures of the same phenomenon Data were collected in the period from January 2014 to November 2015. To present the quantitative analysis and treatment data were tabulated in a MS Excel® spreadsheet and analyzed using descriptive statistics. For qualitative objectives it was developed a descriptive analysis of frequency and percentage for each of the items of data collection instruments used. The description of the subjective perception in the questionnaires was also used. The research followed the ethical principles of the Resolution 466/2012. Accredited with the opinion number: 722.172 in 07/18/2014. Results: Considering the qualification criteria 73.8% (n = 404) were suitable for donation of UCB, while as per the disqualification criteria it was 89% (n = 490). It was indicated that 62.5% (n = 345) of the maternity hospital patients would be able to donate placenta and umbilical cord blood, depending on their consent. The theoretical workshop had a positive and significant effect on the survey participants’ learning curve. UCB practical workshops took place from September to November 2015 at the ME/ UFRJ's obstetric center. 20 nurses participating in the research attended 18 workshops, collecting a total 87 UCB bags. Nurses that attended the practical workshops felt able to perform the UCB collection. Conclusion: UFRJ's Maternidade Escola hopsital is suited to be a UCB collection point with a significant advantage: the institution’s properly trained nurses can conduct the UCB collections. Nurses’ knowledge in the placenta and umbilical cord collection process improved. The research made it possible to draw up a training education program for UCB collection contributing to other public hospitals with a collection point profile, which can also use this program as a model to train nurses in UCB collection process. Thus these institutions may become another UCB collection point.
