A política nacional de práticas integrativas e complementares (PNPIC) no processo de ensino, pesquisa e extensão na graduação em Medicina

Abstract

Introduction: The National Policy on Integrative and Complementary Practices (PNPIC) of 2006 was instituted by the Ministry of Health to be used within SUS. After 11 years of PNPIC's publication, health graduations in Brazil continue to ignore integrative and complementary practices in their teaching. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the perception of medical students about PNPIC. The specific objectives were to evaluate the insertion of ICPs in teaching, research and extension in a medical course based on the guidelines proposed by the PNPIC, to contribute with the perspective of increasing knowledge regarding the PNPIC, to enable an increase in the prevention and promotion and recovery of health, focused on continued care, humanized and integral in health, stimulating innovative and socially contributory alternatives, inserted in PICs. Method: This is an exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative approach. A focus group was conducted with students from the 10th period, whose speeches were analyzed through Bardin. An ebook was developed through the hotmart tool and a blogger through the free blogging platform called Blogger.com, which belongs to Google, both containing information from this research. Results: Half of the subjects surveyed are female, two thirds of them studied in private school and are white and with family income of 10 to 30 minimum wages. The lack of knowledge of the PNPIC is still observed in most medical students. The students' speeches reveal the following categories and subcategories: Non-knowledge of the PNPIC- Little visibility of the integrative practices in the graduation; Failure to access Integrative and Complementary Practices (PIC) and their inclusion in medical education - Insufficient medical course for the teaching of PICs - Lack of incentive / dissemination of PICs by teaching doctors - Difficulty of access to PICs; Prejudice on integrative and complementary practices - Mysticism - Medo- (Des) valorization of PICs; Lack of scientific evidence; Lack of transdisciplinarity. As intervention products, an e-book and a blogger were prepared so that PICs and PNPIC could be disseminated and disseminated. Conclusion: This study concludes that the medical students analyzed have little access to the teaching of PICs and PNPIC, in addition, they mostly refuse to be included in compulsory subjects, because they justify that there is an excess of time in undergraduate study. The prejudice and the association of PICs with mysticism and the lack of scientific evidence were evidenced through the devaluation of these themes and the fear of the students in approaching them with their teachers.
