Ações para a retomada do ensino da humanização nas escolas de medicina: uma revisão sistemática da literatura, 2010-2016.

Abstract

The medicine dehumanization has been largely attributed to the medicine schools, which privilege scientific aspects to the detriment of those theoreticians and focus on the humanism. The medicine schools were driven to review their curricula, emphasizing disciplines and organizing interventions for recovering of the humanism in medical practice. The general objective of the dissertation was to identify the actions proposed or developed in medicine courses for resumption of humanization in the medical practice. The specific objectives were to highlight the main attributes of the humanism and to describe the main educational interventions adopted for the humanism development in medical practice. A systematic revision of the literature was carried out for the attainment of the study objectives, by means of researching in the databases of the Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature and Pub Med, from 2010 to 2016, in Portuguese and English languages. The research resulted in the selection of 23 publications. The results showed that the humanism main attribute is the empathy, which the schools of medicine are developing as main actions the changes in the curriculum of the courses. The main educational implemented actions involve, besides the curricular changes, exchanges and extension programs, through the inclusion of new disciplines, the use of play activities and cultural contexts that are distinct from those of the students' origin. It was concluded that the range of the measures is still small, considering the universe of the medicine courses and its lack of results for more objective analysis.
