Introdução: A prescrição é fundamental na área da Medicina Dentária,
principalmente no tratamento da sintomatologia dolorosa, inflamatória e
infeciosa. Existem várias correntes e vários grupos medicamentosos cuja
administração pode variar de Faculdade para Faculdade tanto em Portugal,
como também em comparação com outras Faculdades Europeias.
Objetivos: Caracterizar o nível de preparação para a prescrição
terapêutica dos alunos do 5º ano das Faculdades de Medicina Dentária
portuguesas e da Faculdade de Medicina Dentária de Nancy (França).
Material e métodos: Estudo epidemiológico observacional transversal
com uma amostra de 104 estudantes do Instituto de Ciências da Saúde -
Universidade Católica Portuguesa de Viseu, Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da
Universidade do Porto e Faculdade de Medicina Dentária da Universidade de
Coimbra e 31 estudantes da Faculdade de Medicina Dentária de Nancy, em
França. A recolha de dados foi realizada através da distribuição de um
questionário auto-aplicado. A análise estatística foi realizada através do
programa estatístico SPSS versão 21.0.
Resultados: As fontes de informação mais utilizadas foram os
conhecimentos adquiridos na disciplina de farmacologia (81,5%), o professor
que supervisiona (74,1%) e o prontuário terapêutico (68,9%). Não saber os
nomes comerciais e não ter a certeza do fármaco adequado para prescrever
(53,3%), indicar a posologia errada (48,1%) e não conhecer as reações adversas
(40,7%) são os erros mais comuns que os alunos têm durante a prescrição.
85,2% dos alunos da amostra referiram que a farmacologia tem importância no
futuro exercício prático em Medicina Dentária.
Conclusão: Existem diferenças na prescrição terapêutica entre os alunos
portugueses e franceses (p=0,001), com estes últimos mais preparados para a
prescrição. É essencial incentivar os alunos à aprendizagem de boas formas de
prescrição, no sentido de evitar erros que possam colocar em risco a saúde
pública.
Introduction: A prescription is essential in Dental Medicine, mainly in pain symptomatology, inflammatory and infectious treatments. There are several currents and group of drugs whose administration can vary from University to University, both in Portugal and in other European Universities. Objectives: Characterize the degree of medical prescription preparation of the fifth year college students from Portuguese Faculties of Dental Medicine and Faculty of Dental Medicine of Nancy (France). Materials and Methods: An epidemiological observational crosssectional study with a sample of 104 students from the Institute of Health Sciences - Dental Medicine of Viseu, Faculty of Dental Medicine at the University of Porto and Faculty of Dental Medicine at the University of Coimbra and 31 students of Faculty of Dental Medicine of Nancy, in France. The data was collected through a self-reported questionnaire. The statistical analysis was done in statistical software SPSS version 21.0. Results: The sources of information most used were the acquired knowledge in pharmacology (81,5%), the supervisor professor (74,1%) and the medical dictionary (68,9%). Not knowing the commercial name and not being sure about what drug to prescribe (53,3%), indicate the wrong prescribed dose (48,1%) and not knowing the adverse drug reactions (40,7%) are the most common prescription errors done by students. 85.2% of the students in the sample noted that pharmacology is important in the future practical exercise in dental medicine. Conclusions: There are differences in medical prescription between Portuguese and French students where French students are more prepared to prescribe than Portuguese (p=0,001). It is essential to encourage students to learn the best ways of prescribing in other to avoid errors that can damage public health.
