Análise de perfil de egressos dos cursos autoinstrucionais em Saúde da pessoa Idosa da secretaria Executiva da UNA - SUS

Abstract

Aims : to describe the construction strategy and the learners’ profile of the two initial self - instructional courses on the Health of the Elderly Qualification Program (PQSPI). Method : descriptive analysis of the PQSPI learner’s profile from the Open University of SUS (UNA - SUS) consolidated database. The courses were designed based on reverse construction, when the learning objectives are the first to be drawn, followed by the activities, and then, the theoretical content is developed from it. The reverse constr uction involved 5 different formats, 3 production teams, and was approved by the Coordination of the Elderly from the Ministry of Health. Results : two courses with 7 educational offers were developed, directed to: graduated professionals, mainly physicians and nurses, course 1; Nursing technicians/assistants (NTA) and community health agents (CHA), course 2. The most common public for all courses was mainly composed by graduation students, demonstrating undergraduate’s interest in permanent education course s. NTA outperformed physicians and CHA were the fourth most common professional audience in course 1. In course 2, NTA and CHA were the most common audience and had completion rates around 50%. Conclusion : greater interest from students, NTA, and CHA in se lf - instructional courses was demonstrated, so it’s necessary to study in depth their participation. NTA and CHA have less opportunity for competencies building, being a strategic audience for future actions.
