Parceria ensino-serviço na formação em odontologia

Abstract

Abstract: Service-learning partnership is essential in the training of future professionals, as well as continuing education for professionals already working in health services. The objective of this study was to systematize and understand problems diagnosed in basic family health units (FHS), by undergraduate students in Dentistry at the Federal University of Goiás (FO / UFG). Documentary research was used to collect data on academic projects prepared from 2006 to 2013, by undergraduate students from the seventh period in the Internship in Collective Dentistry I. The problems reported in academic projects took place in 16 FHS units in the city of Goiânia -Go and were diagnosed by the rapid estimation method. The 80 projects prepared by the academics were examined and presented a total of 950 diagnosed problems. The problems listed varied according to the territory where the internship took place. After the collection carried out by the students, the problems were ranked according to the feasibility of the intervention. The prioritized problems were those that had solutions at the local level. After data collection, categorization was performed and seven categories and 15 subcategories emerged. Among the categories, the most cited were ‘management’ and ‘social problem’ and the subcategories were ‘public management’, ‘health service management’ and ‘organization of work processes’. The least cited categories were ‘teamwork’ and ‘social control’. It was concluded that the categories are interconnected to each other, demonstrating that health problems often have different causes and need shared solutions. Several of these problems have no solution at the local level, are related to social determinants of health and deserve special attention from the management of services. The categorization of the problems demonstrated the extent of the difficulties experienced by the family health teams, and the need to insert dentistry students early in the health services, to experience the practical reality, in the search for training that brings the future dentistry professional closer the real needs of the population.
