RESUMEN

Profissionalismo médico (PM) compreende o exercício da medicina considerando ciência, consciência e excelência. Objetivou-se, neste artigo, descrever como o PM se apresenta no currículo médico e reconhecer o universo semântico dos internos de medicina sobre o tema. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso, realizada mediante aplicação de questionário a 55 alunos do internato em Saúde da Família de um curso sediado no estado do Ceará, Brasil, e análise do projeto pedagógico do curso (PPC). O PPC foi explorado quanto aos domínios do PM; as palavras expressas pelos estudantes foram processadas pelo softwareIRaMuTeQpor análise prototípica e de similitude, com discussão à luz da Matriz de Competências do Profissionalismo Médico no Brasil. Competência cultural e compromisso com a competência técnica se destacaram, enquanto que os demais domínios foram identificados como incipientes. Os estudantes atribuíram significados de PM associados à ética (f=39; OME=2,1), à empatia (f=21; OME=2,4) e à responsabilidade (f=17; OME=2,3). O Profissionalismo Médico revelou-se fragmentado no currículo e refletiu universos semânticos emelaboração, elucidando a necessidade de estimular essa competência na formação dos graduandos.

Medical Professionalism (MP) comprises the practice of medicine while considering science, conscience, and excellence. The objective was to describe how MP is presented in the medical curriculum and recognize medical interns' semantic universe on the theme. Qualitative research of the case study typewas carried out by analyzing the pedagogical project (PPC, in Portuguese) and a questionnaire applied to 55 students of the Family Health internship in the state of Ceará. The PPC was explored in terms of the Medical Professionalism subject, and the IRaMuTeQ software processed the words expressed by the students by prototypical and similarity analysis, with discussion in the light of the Matrix of Competencies of Medical Professionalism in Brazil. Cultural competence and commitment to technical competence stood out, while the other domains were identified as incipient. Students associated medical professionalism with ethics (f = 39; OME = 2.1), empathy (f = 21; OME = 2.4), and responsibility (f = 17; OME = 2.3). Medical Professionalism was revealed to be fragmented in the curriculum and it reflected semantic universes still under development, which elucidates the need to stimulate this competence in the training of undergraduates.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE To learn about the perceptions of medical internship students about the early conclusion of the course and their preparation to act in the fight against COVID-19. METHODS An online questionnaire was applied with questions about the socioeconomic profile and the object of investigation. The data were analyzed using the Bioestat 5.0 software. RESULTS 111 students participated, most of whom (61.3%) were male, aged 20 to 25 years (80.2%), of Catholic religion (57.5%), and attending the 2nd year of internship (50.5%). A small portion (22.5%) reported being in total social isolation. The majority (57.5%) considered themselves unprepared to act in the fight against the pandemic, and 86.8% of the students believe that the early conclusion of the course will contribute to the fight against COVID-19 in the country. CONCLUSION This scenario points to the urgency of measures that provide, to recent graduates, timely technical preparation, safe work conditions, and emotional support even at the beginning of their professional career, leading them to competent, dignified and healthy work, during and after the pandemic.

RESUMO OBJETIVO Conhecer as percepções de estudantes do internato médico sobre formatura antecipada e preparo para trabalhar no combate à pandemia da Covid-19. MÉTODOS Aplicou-se questionário on-line com questões sobre o perfil socioeconômico e o objeto de investigação. Os dados foram analisados pelo software Bioestat 5.0. RESULTADOS Participaram 111 estudantes, a maioria (61,3%) do sexo masculino, na faixa etária de 20 a 25 anos (80,2%), de religião católica (57,5%) e cursando o 2o ano do internato (50,5%). Pequena parcela (22,5%) informou estar em isolamento social total. A maioria (57,5%) se sente despreparada para atuar no combate à pandemia, e 86,8% consideram que a formatura antecipada contribuirá para o enfrentamento da Covid-19 no País. CONCLUSÃO Este panorama remete à urgência de medidas que propiciem, aos recém-graduados, preparo técnico oportuno, condições de trabalho seguras e suporte emocional já neste início de carreira profissional, conduzindo-os ao trabalho competente, digno e saudável, durante e após a pandemia.
