Elaboração de um guia de preceptoria para estágio em assistência farmacêutica na atenção primária de saúde (APS)

Abstract

Pharmaceutical Assistance is a priority activity within the scope of the Unified Health System (SUS), and the presence of pharmacists is indispensable for its development. It is essential for pharmacy students to be early exposed to practical scenarios in order to better perform their functions. The internship is of utmost importance in the pharmacist's training, providing the development of skills. Preceptor guidance is mandatory during the internship, ensuring appropriate direction. However, there are challenges in its implementation, including a lack of pedagogical preparation, recognition, incentives, and workload overload. In this context, this work aimed to present the process of developing a Preceptorship Guide in Pharmaceutical Assistance to be used as a support material for preceptors. It is a descriptive study focused on the elaboration of a guide, which included the steps of situational diagnosis, conducted through the "What's Good," "What's a Shame," and "What's Possible" dynamic, literature review, survey and selection of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), guide structuring, and finally, review and corrections. Based on the situational diagnosis, the proposal for creating a guide was raised. To construct it, a survey of 87 SOPs belonging to the service that constituted the internship field was conducted, selecting 31 of them to compose the guide. The Preceptorship Guide in Pharmaceutical Assistance developed by the Regional Pharmacy Council of the State of Goiás (CRF-GO) and the National Curriculum Guidelines in Pharmacy of 2017 were used as references for the guide's structuring. The guide consisted of 57 pages, encompassing 31 selected activities from the SOPs, which were structured considering the three main axes of pharmaceutical education, in accordance with the national curriculum guidelines for pharmacy courses. Out of these activities, 11 are related to health care, 2 to health technology and innovation, and 18 to health management. Thus, the guide is a tool that can contribute to the quality of students' training in Pharmaceutical Assistance, improving the relationship between theory and practice and strengthening the preceptor's role as a facilitator of learning.
