Formação para o SUS: a vivência dos estudantes do pet-saúde/vigilância em saúde da UFPB

Abstract

This Academic Work of Course Completion aims at presenting the research of the UFPB Health/Surveillance Program of in-service Education (PET-SAÚDE/VS), during the period 2014-2015, as well as the product developed from this research, as prerequisites for the conclusion of the Program of Master's Degree in Health Teaching. The motivation to carry out this work dates to my graduation in Nutrition - when I had contact with Collective Health and the Unified Health System. It reflects past experiences in extension projects, popular and within students’ movement up to the present day, when I find myself immersed in Health Teaching. This research aims at discussing professional training in health by analysing the discourses of students participating in the PET-SAÚDE/VS. The theoretical and methodological reference of this research follows a qualitative approach, with the analysis of the discursive practices and the meaning-making process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight students participating in the program and the carried-out analysis identified the following meaning nucleus: management, attention, education and social control – thus grounded in the proposal of the quadrilateral for health training. The results made it possible to contend that the PET-Saúde provided experiences and learning in the fields of health management. However, it points to the short approach to the subject in undergraduate courses. It also allows us to infer that PET-Saúde provided experiences in the field of healthcare, with emphasis on the care provided to users based on the principle of integrity. The data also highlight the importance of teaching-service integration and the potential of activities involving multiple professions and in-service learning, as well as the challenges and the need to expand teaching-service integration. In relation to social control, there is little reference from the students regarding experiences and learning in this context. Finally, we present the product intended to contribute to the implementation of the National Curriculum Guidelines of the Medicine course - which is in the process of curriculum reformulation - providing analyses and reflections on the progress made during professional training, as well as helping to identify the limits and challenges that still exist for the implementation of the new curricular guidelines.
