Atuação da preceptoria em saúde como prática educativa no hospital universitário da universidade federal do Amapá

Abstract

One of the main characteristics of university hospitals is the provision of internships and teach ing-learning areas, which play a fundamental role in the training of students in healthcare fields. Among these activities, the role of preceptors stands out, whose role is to guide and supervise students in their practical experience. The general objective of this study is to understand the role of health preceptorship as an educational practice at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Amapá. This is an exploratory, retrospective study with a mixed approach, com bining qualitative and quantitative methods. In this study, a questionnaire was administered to a group of preceptors from the Nursing, Medicine, and Physiotherapy programs to describe their performance in the practical areas of the Federal University Hospital of Amapá. The sam ple consisted of 15 preceptors and 20 students from the respective institutions. As regulated by resolution 510/2016 and 466/2012 of the National Health Council, the respective study was submitted to the CEP and the Brasil platform and only those components who signed the free and informed consent form under CAAE registration number 84580824.0.0000.0211 partici pated. Results and Discussion: The main difficulties described by the interviewees, in descend ing order, were reconciling theory and practice (41%); planning and pedagogical guidance in educational activities (32%); lack of preceptorship standards (14%); and lack of infrastructure (13%). It was observed that these results complemented preceptor training, since few were in volved in research. Regarding training, the vast majority of students agreed with all items, such asthe health-disease context; autonomy, confidentiality, learning, and other aspects. This agree ment describes the theoretical-practical connection and the importance of entering the field of practice as early as possible. Conclusion: Despite advances in the National Curricular Guide lines (DCN), preceptorship still faces limitations such as lack of training, time, and adequate structure. There is a disconnect between practice and curriculum, compromising the critical development of students.
