Programa de treinamento em pesquisa: Duke University e Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia

FUNDAMENTO: Um programa de coaching em pesquisa tem foco em desenvolvimento de habilidades e raciocínio científico. Para os profissionais da saúde, pode ser útil para o incremento no número e na qualidade de projetos e artigos. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados iniciais e a metodologia de implantação do Research and Innovation Coaching Program do grupo Research on Research da Duke University na Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia. MÉTODOS: O programa trabalha em duas bases: o treinamento e o coaching. O treinamento é realizado online e aborda conteúdos sobre ideia de pesquisa, busca na literatura, escrita científica e estatística. Após o treinamento, o coaching favorece o estabelecimento de colaboração entre pesquisadores e centros mediante uma rede de contatos. O presente estudo descreve a implementação e os resultados iniciais dos anos 2011-2012. RESULTADOS: Em 2011, 24 centros receberam o treinamento, que consistiu em reuniões online, estudo e prática dos conteúdos abordados. Em janeiro de 2012, foi implementado um novo formato que teve como objetivo atingir mais pesquisadores. Em seis meses foram alocados 52 pesquisadores. No total, 20 artigos foram publicados e mais 49 artigos foram redigidos e aguardam submissão e/ou publicação. De forma adicional, foram elaboradas cinco propostas de financiamento de pesquisa. CONCLUSÃO: O número de artigos e as propostas de financiamento atingiram os objetivos inicialmente propostos. Contudo, os principais resultados desse tipo de iniciativa devem ser medidos em longo prazo, pois a consolidação da produção nacional de pesquisa de alta qualidade é um círculo virtuoso que se autoalimenta e expande com o tempo.

Comparison of Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Different Areas of Health Care Over a 20-Year Period

Background:Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide. Knowledge about cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) in young adults and their modification over time are measures that change the risks and prevent CVDs.Objectives:To determine the presence of CVRFs and their changes in different health care professionals over a period of 20 years.Methods:All students of medicine, nursing, nutrition, odontology, and pharmacy departments of Federal University of Goiás who agreed to participate in this study were evaluated when they started their degree courses and 20 years afterward. Questionnaires on CVRFs [systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and family history of early CVD, smoking, alcohol consumption, and sedentarism] were administered. Cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, weight, height, and body mass index were determined. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to evaluate distribution, the chi-square test was used to compare different courses and sexes, and the McNemar test was used for comparing CVRFs. The significance level was set at a p value of < 0.05.Results:The first stage of the study included 281 individuals (91% of all the students), of which 62.9% were women; the mean age was 19.7 years. In the second stage, 215 subjects were reassessed (76% of the initial sample), of which 59.07% were women; the mean age was 39.8 years. The sample mostly consisted of medical students (with a predominance of men), followed by nursing, nutrition, and pharmacy students, with a predominance of women (p < 0.05). Excessive weight gain, SAH, and dyslipidemia were observed among physicians and dentists (p < 0.05). Excessive weight gain and SAH and a reduction in sedentarism (p < 0.05) were observed among pharmacists. Among nurses there was an increase in excessive weight and alcohol consumption (p < 0.05). Finally, nutritionists showed an increase in dyslipidemia (p < 0.05).Conclusion:In general, there was an unfavorable progression of CVRFs in the population under study, despite it having adequate specialized knowledge about these risk factors.
