Definição de atividades profissionais confiáveis para estágio extracurricular hospitalar em fisioterapia

Abstract

Undergraduate students are increasingly looking for internships as a complement to their practical learning hours. Being constituted as professionalizing educational links, internships, in general, should be guided by the National Curriculum Guidelines specific to physical therapy. The model of extracurricular practice, legally provided, is highly sought after, because in addition to being remunerated, it allows approximation with the work environment. However, it appears that in these environments there is a distance from some pedagogical aspects, bringing harm to all involved. Reliable Professional Activities are practice units widely used in medical and pharmacy residencies, with recent expansion into a new field, physiotherapy. This research defined the reliable professional activities in an extracurricular hospital internship in cardiovascular physiotherapy through a qualitative, descriptive method using the Delphi technique. The sample consisted of 17 internship preceptors working in the area in a private hospital in Maceió and 1 physiotherapy course coordinator. Online questionnaires, Google Forms, linked to the main researcher's drive and the WhatsApp messaging application were used to facilitate communication. In the first round, 136 APC were independently suggested for the stage model. In the second round, the selection of the 20 APC considered most important was requested. In the third round, validation by at least two thirds of the panelists took place using the Likert scale, and resulted in the development of a matrix composed of 17 APC for the internship. From this result, a product was developed. The followup plan for an extracurricular internship in hospital cardiovascular physiotherapy should help to define roles and responsibilities, with adequate supervision and self-perception of learning, in addition to the organization of safe practice routines. The academic work achieved the proposed objectives, with the possibility of inducing progressive transformations in the organizational culture of the observed internship and others.
