Ensino de bioética e cuidados paliativos nas escolas médicas do Brasil

This paper aims to assess the current status of the teaching of Bioethics and Palliative Care in Brazilian medical schools. The link between the teaching of bioethics and palliative care has been neglected by investigation in the healthcare field. The professionals responsible for the development of curricula do not seem to be concerned about knowledge on these topics and the training of professionals to meet the needs of the emerging field of bioethics, with a focus on palliative care.

Adapting diagrams from physics textbooks: a way to improve the autonomy of blind students

We devise and test a set of tactile symbols to represent elements frequently used in mechanics diagrams, such as vectors, ropes, pulleys, blocks and surfaces, that can be used to adapt drawings of physics situations in textbooks for blind students. We also investigate how figures are described for blind students in classroom activities and exams, by interviewing three blind students using the oral history method. The symbols were tested at a specialized school for the blind. Our results indicate that, with training, blind students become familiar with the symbols and can identify them in a problem without the need for a spoken description. This educational product can help blind students to achieve the same conditions of autonomy as sighted ones when studying physics.

Cuidados paliativos: narrativas do sofrimento na escuta do outro

Palliative care: narratives of suffering in listening to the other This article is aimed at understanding the suffering of the caregiver facing the extreme situation of the end of existence. The study is qualitative – the methodological discipline of oral history in its thematic side – and it was carried out in the Paulo de Tarso Hospital, in Belo Horizonte/MG, Brazil. The participants of the study are caregivers, consisting of relatives of hospitalized patients and health professionals who accompany them. The narratives, collected through semi-structured interviews, were transcribed and broken down into analytical categories, by philosophical perspective of palliative care. The relevance of this study is found in the comprehension of the dimension of care that requires subtleties, sometimes only perceived through one look, one gesture, one conversation or silence. It was found that listening is essential for the human being to think, telling about his story, his choices and decisions, and, facing this subjectivity, trying to give sense and meaning to living, as a form of alleviating his pain and suffering.This article is aimed at understanding the suffering of the caregiver facing the extreme situation of the end of existence.
