Elaboração coletiva do código de ética do estudante de medicina

Abstract

This article describes the drafting of the Medical Student's Code of Ethics comparing the process with what is described in literature. Data was collected through qualitative field research, by means of interviews with 24 students, and quantitative field research, using a questionnaire regarding ethical conflicts with a sample of 281 medical students. Based on the students' views and bibliographic research, key issues regarding the preparation of the undergraduates' code of ethics were identified. As a result, the code dealt with rights and duties of lecturers, patients, the institution and society as a whole, considering even contemporary problems such as the use of social networks and college hazing. The study concludes that the collective drafting of the code is the beginning of a process that intends to encourage reflection on health care and social perspective in order to take decisions consistent with ethical and moral principles, respecting human dignity. Keywords: Code of ethics. Students, medical. Ethics, professional. Bioethics. Morals.

Avaliação do conhecimento de estudantes de medicina sobre sigilo médico

“…Most students who had studied Ethics and Professionalism stated they had read the MEC and the Hippocratic Oath, which demonstrates their concern for ethical principles since the beginning of medical studies. According to Menezes and collaborators 17 , classes that address topics related to medical ethics can encourage the relationship between professionals, patients and family members to be more respectful and the protection of confidentiality, which are essential to health care. It is also very important for learning that medical schools and medical councils promote courses and debates on the subject.…”

“…16 . Although health insurance plans hire doctors as medical auditors to control and evaluate the medical resources and procedures adopted, in order to improve the quality of the services provided, the insertion of ICD codes in forms goes against medical ethics principles, even with the justification of preventing fraud, since the data is usually viewed by people other than doctors 13,[17][18][19] . The matter has been discussed in court 43,45 and both doctors and students must be updated on the legal issues involved.…”

“…El modelo de evaluación de competencias bioéticas que aquí se plantea tiene un sólido sustento teórico, basado en 32 artículos de tres continentes. El 66% refieren que la enseñanza de la bioética debe impartirse a lo largo de toda la formación médica 1,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] . De estos artículos, 13 hacen referencia a la enseñanza y aprendizaje de los principios bioéticos del principialismo (autonomía, beneficencia, no maleficencia y justicia) 11,15,18,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] , mientras que siete autores se refieren las competencias bioéticas de la teoría personalista 9,12,14,16,17,30 .…”

Percepções sobre o ensino de ética na medicina: estudo qualitativo

“…Of particular note among the proposals is the collective elaboration of the Código de Ética dos Estudantes de Medicina -CEEM (Code of Ethics of Medical Students), with the participation of students and professors of the course, as already pointed out by a previous study 20 . In this sense, it is important to emphasize the role of scientific research to consolidate contextualized and applicable products, as a way of intervening in reality and provoking ethical reflection.…”
