Educação interprofissional em um hospital de trauma no agreste alagoano: perspectivas dos profissionais do NEP em saúde e seus colaboradores

Abstract

The reordering of health training processes, whether at undergraduate or graduate level, brings with it reflections about the need for teamwork, collaborative practices and interprofessional education. Interprofessional education has been considered worldwide to be fundamental for facing complex social problems by increasing the quality of health care. However, in Brazil, professional training models based on uniprofessionalism still predominate. This academic work consists of a scientific article, derived from a research carried out among health professionals about the interprofessional education in the field of the master's degree, and of an intervention product focused on the subject. The research that generated the article had as objective to understand the readiness and availability of the health professionals for the interprofessional education and for the collaborative practice for the teamwork in a hospital of trauma. With a hybrid character, with quantitative and qualitative approaches, the research was carried out in the Hospital of Emergency Dr. Daniel Houly, in the municipality of Arapiraca. The sample consisted of 39 professionals from several health professions, including medicine, nursing, nutrition, social work, dentistry, psychology, pharmacy, physiotherapy and biology. For the production of the data, the Likert questionnaire, The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), was supplemented by two open questions. The RIPLS consists of 26 assertions arranged in three dimensions: Teamwork and Collaboration, Professional Identity and Patient Centered Care. Descriptive statistics and correlations were used for the analysis of the quantitative data. The qualitative data originated from two open questions were submitted to thematic analysis through the IRAMUTEQ analysis program. The responses to RIPLS showed that there was no statistical difference between the professional categories, however the medical professionals have less availability for teamwork; in addition, the answers showed negative attitudes to interprofessional learning regarding professional identity in all categories denoting propensity for conflicts and disputes within the institution. In the speeches of the professionals the presence of the rigidity of the traditional work model in category 1 is verified and a small opening for the critical - reflexive model of formation present in category 2. With this, the study highlights the importance of the interprofessional education in the trauma hospital, so that there is a better preparation of professionals, especially physicians, for integral health care. Based on this context, an intervention product was developed: 1) Training program in management, leadership and interprofessionalism in a trauma hospital. This product is intended to promote health education. In addition, it will enable the contemplation of the objectives of this Professional Master's Degree.
