Självmord, eller suicid som det också kallas, är i vårt samhälle ett tabubelagt ämne där en känsla av utanförskap har belysts hos den suicidnära patienten som ibland upplever sin vård som otillräcklig. Syftet med följande studie är därför att belysa sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att vårda den suicidnära patienten och för att genomföra detta har en litteraturstudie genomförts på fyra kvalitativa- samt fem kvantitativa artiklar där resultatet visar att sjuksköterskans syn på patienten, på sig själv samt på sin kompetens i stor utsträckning påverkar patientens upplevelse av vårdandet. Vidare beskrivet är att sjuksköterskan tycks vara benägen att sätta etiketter på patienten där vissa grupper upplevs som svårare att vårda. Sjuksköterskan uppfattar vårdandet som tungt, då den vård som förmedlas inte upplevs ge önskad effekt. Eftersom relationen mellan sjuksköterskan och patienten är av stor vikt för att främja en framtida patienthälsa anses det att en bredare utbildning bör erhållas den grundutbildade sjuksköterskan för att underlätta förmågan att sätta sin förförståelse åt sidan och därmed öka förutsättningen för den psykiskt sjuka patienten. En minskad arbetsbelastning anses även vara av stor vikt då sjuksköterskan tycks uppleva en stress under sin arbetsdag där administrativa arbetsuppgifter tvingas ta utrymme framför patientkontakten. Psykisk sjukdom och ohälsa tros i framtiden utvecklas till den näst ledande folkhälsosjukdomen och ett preventivt arbete, där en vårdande relation sätts i fokus, anses i mötet med denna patientgrupp vara av ytterst vikt för att i framtiden minska antalet suicidförsök och fullbordad suicid vilket anses ge en hållbar utveckling av samhället. Abstract: Society tends to meet the suicidal patient with a lack of understanding. The general taboo nature of the subject, as well as feelings of alienation is factors that lead patients to perceive their healthcare as inadequate. The purpose of this study is therefor to survey the experiences of nurses in their meetings with suicidal patients and to this end the authors have carried out literary studies of four qualitative and five quantitative articles. The analysis of the studies led to the conclusion that the nurse's perception of the patient, herself and her own competence greatly affect the patients’ healthcare experience. Additionally, the studies show that nurses are inclined to perceive their work as difficult when treatment does not have the desired effect and thereby categorize the patients similarly. The relationship between nurse and patient is of great importance for successful healthcare and this study shows the need for a broader education to provide the nurse tools to manage her preconceived notions and thereby provide better conditions for the suicidal patient. Nurses, in their stressful work environment, are often forced to choose between administrative duties and patient contact which highlights the need for a decreased work load. Mental illness is believed to become the next largest public health threat and a preventative approach, with focus on the nurse-patient relationship is central to effectiveness of suicide prevention. / Program: Sjuksköterskeutbildning

No. of bitstreams: 1 Nathalia Vidigal Furtado.pdf: 1148548 bytes, checksum: 8d9d3ae18a02499396c16fda90f03f24 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-11-06 / The present work aims to study the clinical practice performed by medical professionals in the context of services of Primary Health Care and think about some possible contributions from psychoanalysis to the theme, focusing a discussion on the social and subjective aspects that are present in this field of acknowledge. This articulation was built using the bibliography of the area and material of the interview carried out with two physicians and three users/clients of these services. Following the tracks of Balint, our hypothesis is that there will always be, in the relationship of doctor and his patient, a place for psychotherapy, although some contexts have a prominent position. We believe that this is the case of services of Primary Health Care as they involve problems with a unique complexity and the task of understanding them should be pursued before any intervention. It is concluded that this understanding is achieved only when the presence of the patient is considered in a proper manner. This change implies necessarily to recognize, at the same time, the presence of the singularity of the medical profession, without which no change is possible. First, we aim to contextualize clinical practice in the Primary Health Care, highlighting its importance in the process of refocusing the logic of health services, and rescue the method of clinical work, considering the proximity and differences in Medicine and Psychoanalysis. Following, we reflect on the need for a psychotherapeutic dimension in the practice of clinical medicine, the importance of issues of transference in the doctor-patient relationship and the need to recognize the disease as a particular/subjective construction of a subject, conceiving clinical practice as a task of caring and construction of meaning in the face of illness experience. From a psychoanalytical study we discuss the status of the body in Medicine, as well as the social bond present in the clinic, considering some issues present from medical training to clinical practice / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo estudar a prática clínica realizada por profissionais médicos no contexto dos serviços de Atenção Primária em Saúde (APS), e pensar algumas possíveis contribuições ao tema a partir da Psicanálise, visando a uma discussão sobre aspectos sociais e subjetivos que se fazem presentes nesse campo. Essa articulação foi construída utilizando a bibliografia da área e o material de entrevistas com dois profissionais médicos e três usuários/pacientes destes serviços. Seguindo as trilhas de Balint, nossa hipótese é de que haverá sempre no espaço de uma relação como a do médico com o seu paciente, um lugar para a Psicoterapia, embora alguns contextos tenham um destaque especial. Acreditamos ser esse o caso dos serviços de APS, pois envolvem problemas com uma complexidade particular e a tarefa de compreendê-los deve ser perseguida antes de qualquer intervenção. Conclui-se que esta compreensão será alcançada, apenas, no momento em que a presença do paciente for considerada de maneira adequada. Essa mudança implica, necessariamente, em se reconhecer, concomitantemente, a presença da singularidade do profissional médico, sem a qual, nenhuma mudança é possível. Procuramos primeiro contextualizar a prática clínica na APS, destacando sua importância no processo de reorientação na lógica dos serviços de saúde, e resgatar o método de trabalho clínico, considerando as proximidades e divergências no campo da Medicina e da Psicanálise. Na sequência, buscamos refletir sobre a necessidade da dimensão psicoterápica na prática da clínica médica, a importância das questões transferenciais na relação médico-paciente e sobre a necessidade de reconhecer a doença como construção particular/subjetiva de um sujeito, concebendo a clínica como uma prática de cuidado e de construção de sentido diante da experiência de adoecimento. A partir de um olhar psicanalítico, discutimos sobre o estatuto de corpo presente na Medicina, assim como o (en) laço social presente na clínica médica, considerando algumas questões presentes desde a formação médica até a prática clínica

As alterações ocorridas no ambiente de prestação de serviços médicos nos últimos anos são profundas. Como em outras áreas profissionais, a pressão por produtividade, o aumento do volume de informações, a interferência de novas tecnologias, a elevação do custo dos serviços e a concomitante redução do orçamento das fontes pagadoras causam um profundo impacto na relação entre o profissional e seu cliente, o paciente. Esta relação é fundamental para uma boa evolução do tratamento, e para a satisfação e recomendação dos serviços por parte do paciente. Diante do cenário de mudanças sem precedentes nessa delicada relação, a presente dissertação teve por objetivo apresentar formas de aprimorar a relação médico-paciente através da melhora da comunicação entre ambos durante os instantes em que ocorre a interação entre eles, por ocasião da consulta. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão teórica e um trabalho de campo exploratório. Na bibliografia consultada, foram apresentados alguns fatores com impacto negativo no atual exercício da profissão médica junto ao paciente, e sua importância foi discutida. A revisão teórica também explorou as expectativas dos pacientes quanto ao atendimento, e o impacto de tais expectativas na percepção do paciente sobre o serviço recebido e no seu comportamento após o atendimento. Com base nos artigos pesquisados, foram apresentados alguns conceitos importantes para a melhora desta relação e da comunicação entre médico e paciente. O trabalho de campo foi realizado por meio de uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa, que utilizou como método o estudo de caso único com confrontação teórica. A organização estudada foi o Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia, e a unidade de análise estudada foi o processo de comunicação médico-paciente dentro do contexto da organização, e seu impacto na satisfação dos pacientes atendidos. As evidências foram colhidas paralelamente junto a um grupo de médicos residentes e um grupo de pacientes. Em seguida, cada grupo teve suas evidências analisadas individualmente. Foi também realizada a comparação das evidências colhidas de ambos os grupos com a revisão teórica, e identificação dos gaps. Verificou-se que embora o atendimento no Instituto Dante Pazzanese de Cardiologia seja muito bem avaliado, a maioria de seus pacientes menciona a existência de graves problemas em outros centros de atendimento, relacionados à falta de comunicação empática durante a interação médico-paciente, com importantes consequências. Os médicos residentes, por sua vez, mencionaram vários fatores estressores com impacto para médicos, pacientes e seus familiares. A pesquisa concluiu que o paciente se sente satisfeito quando se sente acolhido, quando o médico olha nos seus olhos e fala o seu nome, quando percebe o interesse dele por seu estado de saúde, recebe atenção e informações honestas - adequadas ao seu nível de compreensão. Os conceitos e propostas apresentados na revisão teórica, bem como as conclusões obtidas com este trabalho, podem contribuir para o desenvolvimento de estratégias e treinamentos práticos para os profissionais médicos desenvolverem uma abordagem mais empática com seus pacientes, aumentando o potencial terapêutico da interação. A pesquisa mostrou aplicação prática e impacto social, uma vez que corrobora para o efetivo aumento da intenção de adesão às recomendações médicas. / Changes that have taken place in the medical service environment in recent years are profound. As in other professional areas, the pressure for productivity, the increase in the volume of information, the interference of new technologies, the increase in the cost of services and the concomitant reduction of the budget of paying sources have an essential impact on the relationship between the professional and his client, the patient. This relationship is fundamental for a good evolution of the treatment, and the satisfaction and recommendation of the services by the patient. Given the unprecedented scenario of changes in this delicate relationship, the present dissertation aimed to present ways of improving the doctor-patient relationship through better communication between both during the moments in which the interaction between them occurs. For that, a theoretical review and exploratory fieldwork were carried out. In the bibliography researched, some factors in the current medical profession exercise with a negative impact on patients were presented, and their importance was discussed. The theoretical review also explored patients\' expectations regarding medical service, the impact of such expectations on the patient\'s perception of the service received, and their behavior after that. Based on the articles researched, we presented some important concepts for the improvement of this relationship and the communication between doctor and patient. The fieldwork was carried out through exploratory and qualitative research, which used a single case study method, with theoretical confrontation. The organization studied was Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology, and the unit of analysis studied was the physician-patient communication process within the context of the organization, and its impact on the satisfaction of patients attended. Evidence was collected in parallel with a group of resident physicians and a group of patients. Then, each group had its evidence analyzed individually. The evidence collected from both groups were compared with the theoretical review, and gaps were identified. Although the medical care in Dante Pazzanese Institute of Cardiology is very well evaluated, most of its patients mention the existence of severe problems in other care centers, related to lack of empathic communication during doctor-patient interaction, with significant consequences. Resident physicians mentioned several stressors that had an impact on physicians, patients, and their families. The research concluded that the patient is satisfied when he feels welcomed, when the doctor looks into his eyes and speaks his name, when he realizes doctor\'s interest in his health, and receive honest information and attention - appropriate to his level of understanding. The concepts and proposals presented in the theoretical review, as well as the conclusions obtained with this work, can contribute to the development of strategies and practical training for medical professionals to develop a more empathic approach with their patients, increasing the therapeutic potential of the interaction. This research has practical applications and social impact, as it contributes to increase the intention to adhere to medical recommendations

<p>The aim of this investigation was to elucidate and describe those patients who had discontinued their participation and/or paticipated infrequently in physiotherapy treatment based on their own activity and responsibility. The ambition was to understand the phenomenon of compliance/adherence from various perspectives in behavioural as well as social science.</p><p>In study I the phenomenon compliance/adherence was studied in relation to Health Locus of Control and Health Belief variables. This study was based on a questionnaire that was answered by all patients before beginning of treatment. Questions concerning the patients´conceptions about both health locus of control and health beliefs were the focus.The definitions of compliance/adherence were completed treatment period and exercise frequency, respectively. Those patients who completed the treatment were also studied regarded exercise frequency.</p><p>The results of study I showed that those who discontinued their treatment reported a higher perceived threat from their health condition (higher level of dysfunction (higher pain intensity) and a higher perceived severity of their health condition (higher level of dysfunction, worse general health) than those who completed treatment. The results also showed that those who exercised once a week or less often valued the significance of the caring situation as lower (HLC), perceived a higher threat from their health condition (higher pain intensity), a higher severity of their health condition (higher level of dysfunction, worse general health, greater distrution of impairment), more barriers to treatment (lower expectations), and had certain differences in demographic variables (younger individuals, more women) than those who exercised more often (HB).</p><p>Study II investigated patients´descriptions of their reasons for discontinuing the treatment, whether those reasons varied, and if so how they varied. Sixteen patients who had discontinued their treatment were interviewed with open-ended questions. The inteviews began with a question about the background to the physiotherapy treatment. There were questions concerning carrying out the treatment as well as concerning what they thought about their impairment. The patients were also asked about their priotities in daily life, as these wre presumed to be anobstacle to the treatment over a shorter or longer period of time. The third domain concerned how they experiebced the patient/physiotherapist relationship. The interviews were anlysed qualitatively.</p><p>Analysis of study II resulted in four different descriptions of reasons for treatment discontinuation. A) It was about time to end treatment and continue on alone. B) The treatment was not the most important activity to spend time on. C) An agreement with the physiothreapist to discontinue treatment due to lack of effect. D) No viewpoint as to why they discontinued the treatment. In further analysis of category D, this group appeared to experience varoius forms of powerlessness. They felt their trustworthiness was often questioned. They experienced frustration in their life situation as others made the important descisions and they themselves had little to say.They defended themselves by talking about their own conceptions of the reasons for their impairment and what should be done about them. In comparing category D with categories A, B, C it was found that those in the latter three categories experienced varying degrees of control in different situations, whereas those in category D did not experience a feeling of control.</p><p>Conclusion: The concept of compliance in physiotherapy is ambiguous. The concept involves one part defining what will concern the other part. It is clear that the physiotherapist and the patient do not always agree about the aim of the treatment. Instead, we should develop the concept of concordance in encounters with the patients and abandon the reasoning of compliance.</p>

This thesis 'The Symphony of Care' consists of four studies focusing on care relationships between patients and professional caregivers. Care relationships are central to the health process and a fundamental element in caregiving. The term care relationship is widely used in caring science but lacks a clear definition, which can create misunderstanding and can constitute an obstacle when attempting to optimize care relationships. The aim of this thesis is to describe the phenomenon of care relationships in order to add to the body of knowledge in caring science.The main research questions are: • What is a care relationship within the caring science field? • How can a care relationship be optimized to improve its caring function, in order to promote health? The ontological foundation of this thesis is caring science. Phenomenology and Lifeworld theory are used as its epistemological bases. Reflective Lifeworld Research is used as a methodological approach. The four studies were conducted in different contexts and cultures- the first two empirical studies were performed in China and the remaining two, a metasynthesis and a secondary analysis, were carried out in a Swedish context. The results show that care relationships are temporary intentional relationships between a person who needs help and a helper. The purpose of this relationship is to support the patient in his/her dynamic health process, which is unique for each person in different times and contexts. Care relationships are fragile because the patient is vulnerable and the demand on the helper is great. It is an inter-human relationship between equals, which can at the same time be an asymmetric relationship due to the professionalism with the caregiver and the vulnerability with the patient. A care relationship is not independent, but is affected by internal factors such as the two individuals' lifeworlds and external factors such as health policies, organization, economics, health culture and environment. To optimize the effectiveness of caring, the relationship and its surrounding need to be in harmony. The view of care relationships should be broadened to include the external resources in order to optimize their caring potential.

Britain's Asians are a young population and their socio-economic status is low, with racial disadvantage in housing, employment, education and health. Research on their health has usually not been conducted in its socio-economic and demographic context and there is little on their use of primary care. Three studies were conducted to investigate their relationship with primary care in Bradford. A study of general practice attenders of white/British, Pakistani and Indian origin confirmed the demographic and socio-economic differences between the groups. The former had higher rates of alcohol and cigarette consumption. For Pakistanis and Indians, fluency and literacy in English was poor. Ethnic and linguistic match between doctor and patient was more important in patients' choice of doctor than the doctor's sex. Differential employment status of Asian and white/British accounted for some of the differences in health. A study of general practice attendance showed similar rates of surgery consultations between Asians and Non-Asians; the latter made greater use of domiciliary services. Both these studies were conducted in an inner Bradford health centre with an Asian male, a white male and a white female doctor. Bradford GPs were found to perceive that Asian patients made greater use of surgery and domiciliary consultations; attended more often for trivial complaints; and had lower compliance rates than Non-Asians. These perceptions were not supported by objective data. Better qualified GPs had a smaller, and Asian doctors had a greater proportion of Asian patients on their lists. Research, and action on Asians' health, needs to take account of their poorer socio-economic status.

Gydytojo ir paciento santykiai visais laikais buvo medicinos dėmesio centre. Naujų technologijų taikymas leido gydytojui turėti objektyviais duomenimis pagrįstą paciento sveikatos būklės vaizdą, todėl gydytojas mažiau linkęs gilintis į subjektyvius paciento išgyvenimus. Gydytojų-pacient�� santykių etinių problemų sprendimas neįmanomas be valstybės ekonominių, politinių ir teisinių veiksmų. Darbo tikslas. Įvertinti Prienų PSPC gydytojų ir pacientų santykių etinius aspektus pacientų požiūriu. Tyrimo metodai. 2007m. sausio – vasario mėn. buvo atlikta Prienų PSPC pacientų, kurie apsilankė pas BPG (n=304), anketinė apklausa.

Application of modern technologies enables a physician to receive a clear picture of a patient’s health rather than become concerned about his/her personal feelings. The solution of physician–patient ethical problems is not possible without state economical, political and legal measures. Aim of the study. To assess the ethical aspects of physician-patient relationship of Prienai Primary Health Care Centre from the patients’ attitude. Methods. In January – February 2007, a survey was conducted in order to receive the opinion from Prienai district residents, who visited a GP (n=304). Statistical analysis package SPSS (9.0) was used to analyse the data. Dependence of two symptoms was researched with of the Chi-Square test (χ²). Zero hypothesis was rejected, when p<0,05. Results. A greater part of elderly and young people who have a higher or primary education and high income were satisfied with physician–patient relationship and gave favourable assessment of the administration of the relationship. Middle-aged people who have secondary education and low income were most dissatisfied with the above mentioned. Most favourable opinion about the legal matters was provided by the oldest and youngest group of the city respondents who have high income, whereas middle-aged senior country people who have low income were dissatisfied with the legal matters.

Bakgrund: En del patienter som vårdas inom slutenvårdspsykiatrin ses av sjuksköterskor svårare att vårda. Dessa patienter riskerar få en sämre vård än andra patienter. Genom att belysa sjuksköterskors egna förklaringsmodeller till varför patienterna uppfattas som svåra kan fokus riktas mot en utsatt patientgrupp inom den svenska slutenvårdspsykiatrin. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors egna uppfattningar om varför patienter upplevs som svåra att vårda inom den slutna psykiatriska vården. Metod:Fem intervjuer med sjuksköterskor arbetandes inom slutenvårdspsykiatrin genomfördes. Intervjuerna var semistrukturerade och en intervjumall användes för att beröra studiens frågeområden. De transkriberade intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat:Fem olika kategorier framträdde ur materialet vilka återspeglade de intervjuade sjuksköterskornas förklaringar till varför en patient uppfattas som svår inom den psykiatriska slutenvården: Patientens negativa beteenden, omständigheter kring patienten, personalens känslor, personalens beteenden, dåligt anpassad vårdorganisation samt lätta patienter. Diskussion: Det finns många paralleller mellan patienter som uppfattas som svåra och en icke fungerande vårdrelation mellan sjuksköterska och patient. En modell presenteras som beskriver hur patienter i den slutna psykiatriska vården uppfattas som svåra utifrån ett sjuksköterskeperspektiv.

National curricular guidelines suggest a shift in healthcare model with the use of patient-centered practices and flexible physician behavior that meets patients\' preferences. This change requires appropriate evaluation of medical students\', physicians\' and patients\' attitudes with valid and reliable instruments. The objective of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) to Portuguese spoken in Brazil. The PPOS is a measure of individual attitudes regarding medical/disease or patient-oriented practices. This instrument was translated according to international guidelines of translation. Two translated versions, a back-translation and author\'s observations were assessed by five reviewers through modified Delphi and the pre-final version of the PPOS was obtained. This pre-final version was then assessed by the author of the scale and pre-tested with 37 participants (12 resident physicians, 13 medical students and 12 patients). Pre-test results were analyzed by three evaluators (doctors) and two researchers to produce a final version of the Brazilian version of the PPOS - the EOMP. This final version was approved by the scale author and by a language coordinator. The EOMP was then applied to 360 participants (120 resident physicians, 120 medical students and 120 patients). We verified data quality (lost data, floor and ceiling effects), test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation reliability), internal consistency reliability (Cronbach\'s alpha coefficient) and construct validity (explanatory factor analysis with principal component analysis, two factors extraction, Oblimin rotation and Kaiser criterion; confirmatory factor analysis with maximum likelihood method and goodness-of-fit indexes: X2/df, RMSEA, SRMR, GFI, AGFI, NNFI and CFI). During independent review process (modified Delphi), only two items (04 and 17) did not reach a minimum of 80% agreement among the reviewers or produce answer stability throughout the different testing sessions. During pre-testing, seven items (38.9%) were modified according to pre-established criteria. The rate of lost data was 0.28%. Floor effect was observed in most of items answered by patients. Ceiling effect was detected in most of items answered by residents, students and patients. Internal consistency reliability (Cronbach s alpha = 0.605) and test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.670) were considered to be adequate. In the two-factor principal component analysis (a priori criteria), one item (item 09) did not achieve a loading factor higher than 0.3, one item (item 15) was considered factorially complex and two items (items 02 and 14) were inconsistent with a priori factors (explanatory factor analysis). A confirmatory factor analysis provided an acceptable adjustment for the observed variables (X2/df = 2.33; GFI= 0.91; AGFI= 0.89; CFI= 0.84; NFI= 0.75; NNFI= 0.81; RMSEA= 0.062 (p= 0.016) e SRMR= 0.065). These results show that the EOMP has adequate reliability and acceptable validity. This scale may be useful in evaluating physicians\', medical students\' and patients\' attitudes in Brazil. / A reorientação do modelo assistencial que assegure o cumprimento das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais, por meio de prática médica centrada no paciente e comportamento médico flexível conforme as preferências dos pacientes, requer uma avaliação da atitude dos estudantes de medicina, médicos e pacientes por meio de instrumentos válidos e confiáveis. O presente estudo teve como objetivo traduzir, adaptar culturalmente e validar a Patient-Practitioner Orientation Scale (PPOS) para a língua portuguesa do Brasil. A PPOS, instrumento que avalia a atitude individual quanto a práticas centradas no médico e na doença ou no paciente, foi traduzida conforme normas internacionais. As duas traduções, a retrotradução e as observações do autor da escala foram avaliadas por cinco revisores por meio da utilização da técnica Delphi, para obtenção da versão pré-final da Escala de Orientação Médico-Paciente (EOMP). A versão pré-final da EOMP foi avaliada novamente pelo autor e pré-testada em 37 participantes (12 médicos residentes, 13 estudantes de medicina e 12 pacientes). Os resultados do pré-teste foram avaliados por três avaliadores médicos e dois coordenadores finalizando a versão final da tradução da PPOS na EOMP, a qual foi aprovada pelo autor e coordenador de linguagem. A versão final da escala foi autoaplicada a 360 participantes (120 médicos residentes, 120 estudantes de medicina e 120 pacientes) e os dados submetidos aos testes de qualidade dos dados (dados perdidos, efeitos piso e teto), confiabilidade teste-reteste (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse), confiabilidade da consistência interna (coeficiente alfa Cronbach) e validade de construto por meio da análise fatorial exploratória (análise dos componentes principais, extração de dois fatores, rotação Oblimin e critério de Kaiser) e confirmatória (método da máxima verossimilhança e índices de ajustamento do modelo: &#967;2/df, RMSEA, SRMR, GFI, AGFI, NNFI e CFI). Na etapa de revisores independentes (técnica Delphi), apenas dois itens (04 e 17) não atingiram o consenso mínimo de 80% de concordância entre os revisores ou estabilidade das respostas através das rodadas. No pré-teste, sete itens (38,9%) foram modificados de acordo com os critérios pré-estabelecidos. A taxa de dados perdidos foi de 0,28%. O efeito piso foi detectado na maioria dos itens respondidos pelos pacientes e o efeito teto pelos residentes, estudantes e pacientes. A confiabilidade verificada pela consistência interna (&#945; Cronbach=0,605) e do teste re-teste (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse=0,670) foi considerada adequada. Na análise fatorial exploratória, a análise dos componentes principais com a presença de dois fatores demonstrou que um item (item 09) não apresentou carga fatorial maior que 0,3, outro (item 15) foi considerado fatorialmente complexo e dois (itens 02 e 14) foram inconsistentes com os fatores considerados a priori. A análise fatorial confirmatória forneceu um ajuste aceitável com as variáveis observadas (X2/df = 2,33; GFI= 0,91; AGFI= 0,89; CFI= 0,84; NFI= 0,75; NNFI= 0,81; RMSEA= 0,062 (p= 0,016) e SRMR= 0,065). Os resultados demonstram que a EOMP possui adequada confiabilidade e aceitável validade. Essa escala pode ser útil na avaliação, no Brasil, das atitudes dos médicos, estudantes de medicina e pacientes. / Mestre em Ciências da Saúde
