Introduction: Throughout the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, schools had to adopt social distancing and remote learning, which, according to recent studies suggest an increase in depression, anxiety and behavioral disorders among university students. Medical training, which has a heavy load of psychological issues had to face this aggravating factor, reinforcing the need for support actions for students, such as mentoring programs. Mentoring programs offer empathetic and developmental support that encourages self-care, well-being and resilience. Experience report: A group of teacher-mentors from a medical school adapted the mentoring activities to a remote model, offering them to upper-level students who had already participated in mentoring, and, separately, to students who were newly enrolled in the medical course. In the remote format, the mentoring proposal was maintained as a “place of conversation”, but on a digital platform. The technical follow-up was carried out by remote meetings of the group of teacher-mentors, and consultation with students through a self-administered online questionnaire. The data obtained were submitted to content analysis. Discussion: From March to December, 109 virtual mentoring meetings were held. The students considered the meetings satisfactory in terms of the quality of discussions, the mentors’ attitudes and the emotional environment. The interactive development varied among groups, but it was observed to be easier in the groups of upper-level students. Among the newly-enrolled students, the recurring topic was the fear of poor performance in the tests, losing the semester, or not learning. Upper-level students highlighted the difficulties of adapting to remote learning and organizing their activities, and the decrease in practical activities. All groups reported fear of the pandemic, of death, of the worsening of parents’ financial situation, and sadness about the loss of relatives to COVID-19. It drew the attention of the mentors the fact that the students, even in a welcoming space, kept the cameras turned off. Conclusion: For mentors and students, virtual mentoring worked as an important student support system. Upper-level students and first-year ones reported feeling cared for, supported and grateful, suggesting that the meetings allowed a good interaction and produced beneficial effects. A limitation of this study was the duration of the experiment. Therefore, it is recommended that the research be maintained.

Resumo: Introdução: As mudanças de vida do estudante quando ingressa na Faculdade de Medicina tornam os primeiros anos os mais vulneráveis para desenvolver estresse psicológico e suas consequências. Em 2020, essa condição se agravou devido à pandemia de Sars-CoV-2. Para dar suporte aos alunos, várias escolas médicas desenvolvem programas de mentoria, entretanto a adesão deles costuma ser baixa. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivos criar um modelo de mentoria - denominada “Mentoria de Acolhimento” - como suporte psicossocial e pedagógico aos alunos ingressantes, e estudar seu processo de implementação e os resultados para maior adesão e efetividade. Método: Com um desenho metodológico do campo da ciência da implementação, utilizaram-se técnicas e instrumentos de pesquisas qualitativas e quantitativas para compor um estudo de métodos mistos. Obtiveram-se os dados qualitativos em reuniões com os mentores e os dados quantitativos em questionários eletrônicos anônimos para os alunos. Os encontros dos grupos de mentoria foram previstos na grade curricular obrigatória, em horários predeterminados nos quatro meses do primeiro semestre da graduação. Analisaram-se os dados qualitativos por meio da técnica de análise temática, e os dados quantitativos foram examinados de modo descritivo. Resultado: Participaram da Mentoria de Acolhimento 147 alunos (77% dos ingressantes). Identificaram-se os seguintes facilitadores de implementação: inclusão automática de todos os alunos nos grupos, inserção na grade, qualidade do mentor e disposição dos discentes para a mentoria. Observaram-se as seguintes barreiras: falhas na comunicação com os alunos, não realização de encontros por mentores, atividades extracurriculares no horário previsto para a mentoria e o modo presencial remoto. A experiência foi avaliada como positiva por alunos e mentores, verificando-se ganhos de desempenho acadêmico, em conhecer o cotidiano escolar e lidar com aspectos emocionais e relacionais da vida de estudante. Conclusão: A Mentoria de Acolhimento ajudou a integração do aluno ingressante na faculdade. Mostrou-se adequada em termos de modelo e resultados, mas requer aprofundamento dos estudos de impacto na formação médica.

Os Cuidados Paliativos (CP) são cuidados holísticos a indivíduos que se encontram em intenso sofrimento relacionados à saúde, proveniente de doença ameaçadora da vida. Por isso, percebemos a importância dos CP para o paciente oncológico. Nesse sentido, deve-se reunir as habilidades de uma equipe multidisciplinar, pois a compreensão multideterminada e contextual do paciente e do seu processo de adoecimento favorece a humanização. No presente estudo, tem-se como objetivo compreender a atuação e a percepção dos cuidados da equipe multiprofissional do Hospital Santa Marcelina de Itaquera acerca da assistência aos pacientes oncológicos em CP. Na construção e análise de dados, utilizou-se o paradigma metodológico qualitativo. Como instrumentos, foram utilizados questionário sociodemográfico e entrevista semiestruturada. Participaram da pesquisa diferentes profissionais que atuam na assistência em CP. Os resultados foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo temática segundo Bardin (1997), de forma a elaborar uma síntese interpretativa que dialogue com objetivos e apresentados em seis categorias: conceito de CP; relação com a Oncologia; itinerário de cuidado; papel profissional; interdisciplinaridade; e desafios. A atuação em CP deve ser reflexiva e multiplicadora, já que, dessa forma, o trabalho será de promoção de qualidade de vida aos pacientes e familiares e de ampliação da rede de cuidados.
