Objetivo: Desde la perspectiva del monitoreo y la evaluación de las políticas públicas, este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar la evaluación de la implementación de la Ley 6.208 del Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, de adhesión a la Ley Nacional 27.499, “Ley de capacitación obligatoria en género para todas las personas que integran los tres poderes del Estado”, desarrollada por el Ministerio de Salud. Metodología: Se trata de un estudio descriptivo-evaluativo, en el que participaron 9252 personas. Resultados:En total, 8050 personas del sistema de salud del Gobierno de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires han completado la capacitación; la mayoría eran mujeres (74,50 %). Respecto a las disciplinas, el 47,40 % corresponde a profesionales de medicina, seguido de psicología (8,9 %) y enfermería (8,3 %). Cerca del 3 % eran personas con cargos con responsabilidad docente y 94 % dependían de unidades hospitalarias. El desarrollo de la capacitación permitió ampliar el conocimiento de las normativas vigentes (reducción del desconocimiento del 18,5 al 7,4 %) e incidió en el cambio de prioridad de las situaciones abordables desde la perspectiva de género. La capacitación obtuvo una valoración positiva (mayor al 85 %) en las categorías referidas a relevancia, adecuación y utilidad de sus contenidos. Conclusión: El proceso de evaluación de la capacitación se destaca como la primera experiencia de evaluación de esta política en el sector salud de Argentina. Con base en sus resultados, se identificó la necesidad de reeditar la capacitación en el año 2022, manteniendo contenidos, materiales de lectura, videos y foros que habían sido valorados positivamente por más del 90 % de las personas, lo que permitirá ampliar la cobertura.

Objective: to report the experience of using a didactic strategy aimed at teaching risk and protective factors for chronic non-communicable diseases among nursing students. Method: descriptive study, experience report type, carried out in the first quarter of 2024, with 28 students in the fourth period of their undergraduate nursing degree at a public university in Rio de Janeiro. A teaching strategy was developed that included a survey of previous knowledge about chronic non-communicable diseases, the production of individual hand drawings representing protective and risk factors and the presentation of the collective factors of the class in image format using GEPHI software. Results: the most prevalent diseases in the students' family context were hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The most cited protective factors were the absence of tobacco and alcohol consumption, regular physical activity, a support network, and access to health services. Conversely, the risk factors were genetic predisposition, sedentary lifestyle, stress, and inadequate diet. Conclusion: the teaching strategy contributed to the teaching-learning process by dialoguing with the students' reality and pointed to the need to incorporate active methodologies in health training.

In the context of debates surrounding the training of mental health peer support workers and their incorporation into the Catalan Health System, this article presents a literature review complemented by interviews carried out between 2020 and 2021 with both international and Spanish experts. Based on the information obtained, content analysis of elements of their training and integration within the health system was performed. German-speaking countries offer the most homogeneous training and recruitment programs. In the case of English- and French-speaking countries, non-profit or third sector organizations are usually in charge of training programs and recruitment. Various experiences with training programs exist in the Ibero-American world, although they are not recognized as professional qualifications. Recommendations are offered for the development of this figure in Catalonia, which include advancing towards professional training with recognition as health care providers, as well as contracting options from both socio-health or health care providers or from third sector entities.

This article discusses the role of the epistemic community linked to the training of health technicians through analysis of the actions initiated by the Pan-American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/ WHO) Collaborating Center for the education of these technicians during the COVID-19 pandemic, with the aim of comparing these actions with the main elements that define the constitution and functioning of epistemic communities according to the specialized literature. It is argued that, despite the differences in the historical configuration of national healthcare and training systems, the emergence of common challenges in the training of technicians allowed the articulation of demands, the sharing of diagnostic assessments, and the cooperation between the International Network of Health Technicians Education, the Ibero-American Network of Health Technicians Education, and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries Network of Health Technician Schools, promoting the exchange of experiences, the search for strategic solutions, and the dissemination of recommendations across countries. By reaffirming the central role of health technicians in epidemiological surveillance, diagnosis and assistance, the COVID health emergency demanded immediate and consistent responses from governments and educational institutions, favoring the strengthening of the health technician epistemic community through the circulation of discourses and the hegemonization of meanings for the education of technicians. These actions, however, do not translate into stability or homogeneity for the epistemic community, since their articulation is always provisional and contingent, nor do they ensure the capacity to directly influence policies in each country.

En este estudio se realiza un análisis reflexivo sobre la implantación de la educación interprofesional en cursos de pregrado de enfermería, considerando como ejemplo los planes de estudio de las carreras de pregrado en enfermería de Brasil. A pesar de las inversiones para avanzar en la educación interprofesional, su práctica no está institucionalizada en los planes de estudio de las carreras de pregrado. Estos hallazgos representan una limitación para la implementación de la educación interprofesional en los cursos de enfermería, y el caso de Brasil permite extraer enseñanzas de cara a la formación de profesionales de enfermería en otros países de la Región de las Américas. Se recomiendan medidas para la formación, la gestión y la articulación intersectorial de los servicios de salud y educación, con énfasis en la atención primaria de salud y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, a las instituciones educativas que deseen implementar la educación interprofesional.

Conclusión: la percepción general de los contratados es positiva. Los aspectos pedagógicos relacionados con la evaluación de los académicos y el apoyo de las instituciones de enseñanza superior deben ser revisados, para que las acciones sean más firmes en momentos de crisis sanitaria.

Objetivo. Identificar los factores asociados con el éxito del tratamiento de tuberculosis multidrogorresistente (TB-MDR) relacionados con los pacientes y el personal sanitario en seis municipios de Colombia con mayor número de casos. Métodos. Mediante regresiones logísticas bifactorial y multifactorial se analizó la asociación entre el tratamiento exitoso (curación o cumplimiento del tratamiento) y las características de los pacientes, y de los médicos, profesionales de enfermería y psicólogos vinculados al tratamiento. Se exploró la importancia del conocimiento en el manejo de los casos de TB-MDR mediante grupos focales con esos profesionales. Resultados. De los 128 casos con TB-MDR, 63 (49,2%) tuvieron un tratamiento exitoso. Solo 52,9% de los médicos y profesionales de enfermería tenía conocimientos satisfactorios sobre TB-MDR. La regresión logística mostró que ser negativo al VIH, estar afiliado al régimen de aseguramiento de salud contributivo, estar atendido por un médico del sexo masculino y por profesionales de enfermería con conocimientos suficientes se asociaron con un desenlace exitoso del tratamiento (p ≤ 0,05). El análisis cualitativo mostró la necesidad de profundizar y sistematizar la capacitación del personal sanitario que atiende los casos de TB-MDR. Conclusiones. En el éxito del tratamiento de los casos de TB-MDR influyen algunas características de los pacientes y el personal sanitario. Se requiere fortalecer los conocimientos sobre TB-MDR de médicos y enfermeros, y reforzar el seguimiento de los pacientes con TB-MDR positivos al VIH y de los que pertenecen al régimen subsidiado, dada su menor probabilidad de éxito al tratamiento.

This study presents a reflective analysis of the implementation of interprofessional education in undergraduate nursing courses, considering as an example the curricula of undergraduate nursing careers in Brazil. Despite investments to advance interprofessional education, its practice is not institutionalized in the curricula of undergraduate courses. These findings represent a limitation for the implementation of interprofessional education in nursing courses, and the case of Brazil allows to learn lessons for the education of nursing professionals in other countries of the Region of the Americas. Recommendations are provided for training, management and intersectoral articulation of health and education services, with emphasis on primary health care and the Sustainable Development Goals, aimed at educational institutions wishing to implement interprofessional education.

The Kolmogorov Smirnov test was defined for normality of the data, for comparison of the means of correct answers, the Student or Wilcoxon t-tests, and the confidence level of <0.05. Results: the total sample reached a higher average of correct answers in the post-test in all workshops, being the same in those of Orotracheal Tube and Tracheostomy. The first group reached a higher average of correct answers in the workshops on Oxygen therapy and Oximetry, and the second in the workshop on Airway Aspiration. Conclusion: it was not able to infer which methodology promoted greater knowledge acquisition among the groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to identify the contributions of international academic mobility, carried out in Australia, to the training of nurses in Brazil. Method: exploratory study with qualitative approach, conducted with eight former exchange students of the Science Without Borders program. The analysis was made by the proposal of the Collective Subject Discourse. Results: the experience offered (ex)exchange students a range of opportunities and exchange of experiences for nursing education. The rich experience in studying subjects in Australia was pointed out, comparing the Problem Based Learning methodology with the traditional methodology experienced in Brazil and highlighting its positive effects. The exchange provided the development of technical-scientific and interpersonal skills, experiences of comparing health systems, in addition to improving language skills and building an ethical-political-social commitment and future professional perspectives. Final considerations: international academic mobility contributed positively to the training of Brazilian nurses, with evidence of personal and professional development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To evaluate the effect of educational interventions on the Nursing team's knowledge and applicability of electrosurgery. Material and Method: A quasi-experiment, with pre- and post-tests in a single group developed in the operating room of a Brazilian tertiary-level university hospital. It was developed in seven stages, with the application of a semi-structured questionnaire to assess the participants' knowledge. The participants were exposed to two educational interventions (lecture, dialogue and video-lesson) and, after each intervention, they were evaluated for knowledge retention. Indicators of the application of the electrosurgery unit during surgical procedures were also evaluated. Results: Four nurses and 28 nursing technicians participated in the study. The nurses had prior knowledge of the theme on most of the topics. Among the nursing technicians, there was an improvement in the "equipment check" and "electrodispersive plate positioning" items. Conclusions: The professionals presented good theoretical performance but the same is not evidenced in the practice because they are reluctant to having a practice different from the theory. Research of this nature is timely because it provides managers with a possibility to propose projects for continuous improvement of perioperative assistance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the education/training of nurses working in an intensive care unit. Method: Case study with qualitative approach, with an intentional sample. Data collection and analysis used different research techniques, mainly document analysis, interview and field observation. Results: The data highlights feelings of well-being, satisfaction and motivation as important for education and training in a work context. Some organizational practices seem to promote interpersonal relationships and, consequently, increase the willingness of these professionals to adopt a reward perspective regarding continuing education and training, establishing a close relationship between the formal, the non-formal and the informal. Final Consideration: The attractiveness of this organization is related to the valorization and recognition that it can offer to the professionals. There is a reciprocity between a hospital that endorses up-to-date care and professionals who seek scientific evidence.

This article looks at two pedagogical initiatives based on “Paideia Education” in order to analyze their contributions to the production of democratic relations and the co-production of care in primary health care. The first of these initiatives was a seminar on matrix support (2015-2016) that trained 94 specialists, and the second was a seminar on family care (2018-2020) that trained 149 professionals. The 243 participating health professionals came from five different municipalities in Brazil. The results obtained through questionnaires and field diaries kept during the seminars indicate that “Paideia Education” has the ability to motivate professionals to incorporate notions such as the expanded clinic and matrix support into primary health care, and fosters the sharing of care and the co-construction of autonomy with users. However, authoritarian management practices are still frequently directed towards professionals, practiced among professionals themselves, and directed towards patients, and therefore it is necessary to invest in a greater democratization of services beyond training.

Objective. To identify patient- and provider-related factors associated with the success of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment in the six municipalities of Colombia with the highest number of MDR-TB cases. Methods. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the association between treatment success (cure or treatment completion) and characteristics of the patients and physicians, nursing professionals, and psychologists involved in their treatment. The importance of knowledge in the management of MDR-TB cases was explored through focus groups with these providers. Results. Of 128 cases of TB-MDR, 63 (49.2%) experienced treatment success. Only 52.9% of the physicians and nursing professionals had satisfactory knowledge about MDR-TB. Logistic regression showed that being HIV negative, being affiliated with the contributory health insurance scheme, being cared for by a male physician, and being cared for by nursing professionals with sufficient knowledge were associated with a successful treatment outcome (p ≤ 0.05). Qualitative analysis showed the need for in-depth, systematic training of health personnel who care for patients with MDR-TB. Conclusions. Some characteristics of patients and healthcare providers influence treatment success in MDR-TB cases. Physicians' and nurses' knowledge about MDR-TB must be improved, and follow-up of MDR-TB patients who are living with HIV and of those affiliated with the subsidized health insurance scheme in Colombia must be strengthened, as these patients have a lower likelihood of a successful treatment outcome.

Objective. To identify patient- and provider-related factors associated with the success of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) treatment in the six municipalities of Colombia with the highest number of MDR-TB cases. Methods. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to analyze the association between treatment success (cure or treatment completion) and characteristics of the patients and physicians, nursing professionals, and psychologists involved in their treatment. The importance of knowledge in the management of MDR-TB cases was explored through focus groups with these providers. Results. Of 128 cases of TB-MDR, 63 (49.2%) experienced treatment success. Only 52.9% of the physicians and nursing professionals had satisfactory knowledge about MDR-TB. Logistic regression showed that being HIV negative, being affiliated with the contributory health insurance scheme, being cared for by a male physician, and being cared for by nursing professionals with sufficient knowledge were associated with a successful treatment outcome (p ≤ 0.05). Qualitative analysis showed the need for in-depth, systematic training of health personnel who care for patients with MDR-TB. Conclusions. Some characteristics of patients and healthcare providers influence treatment success in MDR-TB cases. Physicians' and nurses' knowledge about MDR-TB must be improved, and follow-up of MDR-TB patients who are living with HIV and of those affiliated with the subsidized health insurance scheme in Colombia must be strengthened, as these patients have a lower likelihood of a successful treatment outcome.

Introducción. El cáncer de mama representa un problema de salud pública cada vez mayor en Colombia. La mayoría de los estudiantes de medicina y de los profesionales de la salud no reciben capacitación para la detección temprana del cáncer de mama. Objetivo. Describir el proceso llevado a cabo por el Instituto Nacional de Cancerología de Colombia, para capacitar a los profesionales de la salud (médicos generales, ginecólogos, médicos familiares y enfermeras) en la detección temprana del cáncer de mama, mediante cursos presenciales y virtuales. Resultados. Con las dos modalidades de cursos, 1.875 profesionales de la salud han sido capacitados, la mayoría de ellos mediante el curso virtual (n=1.294; 73,0 %). Asimismo, los médicos generales han sido los profesionales que más se han certificado mediante alguna de las dos modalidades del curso (n=919; 49,0 %). Los dos cursos generan gran satisfacción en los participantes, con una tasa de certificación del 100 % en la modalidad presencial y del 73,0 % en la virtual. Conclusiones. Es difícil medir el impacto de la capacitación profesional en el diagnóstico precoz del cáncer de mama, porque la mayoría de las regiones de Colombia no tienen registros de cáncer. Es probable que, con un tiempo mayor de seguimiento, se logre medir el impacto real de los cursos en la detección temprana del cáncer de mama y, por ende, en la mortalidad debida a la enfermedad.
