Abstract(s)
A elevada importância das competências de comunicação clínica/em saúde nas profissões de saúde, requer que o seu ensino seja introduzido ainda na aprendizagem pré-graduada. Para verificar se os programas/planos de estudo do curso de fisioterapia dos estabelecimentos de ensino superior português evidenciam o ensino de competências de comunicação clínica/em saúde e identificar unidades curriculares que o façam de uma forma exclusiva ou inclusiva, caracterizando tal ensino, procedeu-se a um estudo de Análise Comparativa Documental. Pesquisa efetuada entre final de dezembro/2020 e início de março/2021, inicialmente para identificação dos ciclos de estudo com acreditação dos seus planos curriculares e conteúdos programáticos das unidades curriculares que evidenciam o ensino de competências de comunicação clínica/em saúde. Levantamento de documentos/dados, disponíveis publicamente nos sites oficiais das instituições de ensino superior e Diário da República eletrónico, com posterior reforço de informação complementar, enviada via email, pelas coordenações dos cursos. Foram identificados 20 ciclos de estudo em fisioterapia, registados na Direção-Geral do Ensino Superior e acreditados pela Agência de Avaliação e Acreditação do Ensino Superior. Oito apresentavam unidade curricular específica/exclusiva no ensino de competências de comunicação clínica/em saúde, nove apresentavam o seu ensino de forma integrada noutras unidades curriculares e outros três não apresentavam o seu ensino de modo formal em nenhuma unidade curricular. Constatou-se ainda uma disparidade em relação ao número de horas, às componentes, ao semestre/ano, ao número de ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), e mesmo em relação ao nome atribuído à unidade curricular.
The high importance of clinical/health communication skills in health professions requires their introduction in undergraduate learning. A Comparative Document Analysis study was conducted to assess whether the curricula/plans of study of physiotherapy courses at Portuguese higher education institutions highlight the teaching of clinical/health communication skills and identify curricular units which do so in an exclusive or inclusive way, characterizing that teaching. Research conducted between the end of December/2020 and the beginning of March/2021, in order to identify the study cycles with accreditation of their curricular plans and syllabus contents of the curricular units that show the teaching of clinical/health communication competencies. Documents/data survey, publicly available in the official websites of the higher education institutions and in the electronic Portuguese official publication Diário da República, with subsequent complementary information, sent by email, by the courses' coordinators. Twenty study programmes in physiotherapy were identified, registered at the DireçãoGeral do Ensino Superior and accredited by the Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education. Eight had a specific/exclusive curricular unit on the clinical communication/health skills teaching, nine presented their teaching in an integrated manner in other curricular units and another three did not present their teaching in a formal way in any curricular unit. We also found a disparity regarding the number of hours, the components, the semester/year, the number of ECTS (European Credit Transfer System), and even regarding the name given to the curricular unit.
