“…The in-depth interviews fostered rich interaction between the interviewees and the interviewers, allowing for comprehensive exploration of the subject matter. 21 The topic guide was developed in November 2021. Because long COVID has not been fully explored, the study used a semi-structured questionnaire, which allowed the interviewee to provide answers that were not initially expected.…”

BackgroundLong COVID provides a new context in which primary healthcare needs to be reexamined, especially because it has health and social dimensions. The experiences of care for patients with long COVID and primary care physicians’ perceptions are an unexplored area.AimTo explore the experiences of Slovenian primary care physicians in management and treatment of patients with long COVID.Design & settingA qualitative interview study in Slovenian primary care was carried out between November 2021 and April 2022.MethodSemi-structured interviews were held with physicians that had treated patients with long COVID until saturation was reached. Qualitative content analysis (QCA) was used to analyze the data collected.ResultsSeventeen participants were interviewed. Six categories were defined based on the coding process: the definition and symptoms of long COVID; social exclusion, sick leave, returning to the work environment, cooperation with rehabilitation centers and the importance of trust and good communication with the patient.ConclusionThe study shows the experiences of Slovenian primary care physicians in the management and treatment of long COVID. The problems related to long COVID were divided into two groups: health problems and psycho-social problems. Slovenian physicians have the greatest problems with dealing with the patient’s ability to work. It was found that adequate communication and trust between physicians and patients are two important indicators for an integrated model of managing long COVID.

Resumo: Introdução: Ao final de 2019, um dos grandes desafios do século XXI veio à tona e atingiu o mundo todo. O longo período de isolamento levou as pessoas a se adaptar a uma nova forma de trabalho e estudo. A mesma medida foi adotada pelos cursos de Medicina, o que resultou em novas metodologias de aprendizagem. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar, por meio de uma revisão integrativa, dados referentes ao processo de adaptação da educação médica on-line durante a pandemia. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de literatura em que se utilizaram os dados das seguintes plataformas: PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS). A pesquisa teve início em julho de 2021. Resultado: Inicialmente, com a aplicação dos critérios de inclusão, obteve-se um total de 841 artigos oriundos das bases de dados selecionadas. Após a exclusão de artigos duplicados, esse número foi reduzido a 242 artigos. Após a aplicação dos critérios de exclusão, chegou-se a 22 artigos selecionados para o estudo. Conclusão: Como a Medicina é um curso prático em sua maioria, é fundamental o contato físico dos estudantes com os pacientes, de modo a desenvolver habilidades essenciais para um médico de qualidade, tanto em técnicas da semiologia médica como na desenvoltura da relação médico-paciente. Porém, a necessidade de um modo de aprendizagem surgiu com a pandemia, e o ensino não podia parar. Diante dos pontos levantados na literatura pesquisada, o senso comum seria a aplicação de um método de ensino híbrido - on-line e presencial - (visando à otimização de tempo e ao rompimento de barreiras geográficas, sem deixar de lado a importância da prática clínica), excepcionalmente on-line (quando houver situações extraordinárias, a exemplo da pandemia de Covid-19) ou somente presencial (em regiões onde é inviável a aplicação do e-learning).

Introduction: At the end of 2019, one of the great challenges of the 21st century emerged, affecting the whole world. The long period in isolation made people adapt to the way they work and study, and this same measure was taken in the medical course, bringing new methodologies and learning. Objective: To analyze, through an Integrative Review, data on how the process of adapting online medical education was carried out during the pandemic. Methods: This is an Integrative Literature Review and data search was conducted in the PubMed, Virtual Health Library (BVS), Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO) and Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) databases. The search began in July 2021. Results: Initially, with the application of the inclusion criteria, a total of 841 articles were obtained from the selected databases. After excluding duplicate articles, this number was reduced to 242 articles. After applying the exclusion criteria, 22 articles were selected for the study. Conclusion: It is known that Medicine is mostly a practical course, the physical contact of students with patients is essential to develop essential skills for a quality physician, both in medical semiology techniques and in the skills necessary to establish the doctor-patient relationship. However, the need for a way of learning arose with the pandemic and teaching could not stop. In view of the points raised in the literature research, the common sense would be the application of a hybrid teaching method - online and face-to-face - (aimed at optimizing time and breaking geographic barriers, without neglecting the importance of clinical practice), exceptionally online (when there are extraordinary situations, such as the COVID-19 pandemic) or only in person (in regions where the application of e-learning is not feasible).
