- Patients’ and tutors’ evaluations of medicine students’ consultations in general practice/family medicine in CoimbraPublication . Santiago, Luiz Miguel de Mendonça Soares; Caetano, Inês; Simões, José Augusto RodriguesBackground Undergraduate teaching of General Practice/Family Medicine (GP/FM) must ensure students acquire the necessary competencies and skills to perform an adequate GP/FM consultation with adequate annotations (the SOAP model) and classifications. So aimed to study and to correlate students’ evaluation by tutors and patients in specific consultations in the formal practical evaluation of GP/FM Curricular Unit of the Integrated Masters on Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra (IMM-FMUC) in the academic years of 2017–2018 and 2018–2019. Methods Observational study of the 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 academic years of the assessment grids for tutor’s evaluation of SOAP performance and fluency in consultation and for patient’s evaluation of the student ‘performance, in the convenience sample of those who chose to be so evaluated. Results We studied a population of 435 (67,7%) out of a universe of 646 students, 125 (28,7%) males, ns by sex and academic year who performed this evaluation. In a mark up to 20 from tutors, difference was found for Plan (P) mark, higher in 2018–2019 (18,38 ± 2,18vs18,54 ± 2,11, p = 0,005) of the SOAP methodology evaluation. Patients’ evaluation was not different 19,34 ± 1,70vs19,35 ± 1,40, p = 0,091. A positive significant correlation was found between tutors and patients marks (ρ = 0,278; p < 0,001), as well as between tutor mark and final mark (ρ = 0,958; p < 0,001) and patient and final marks (ρ = 0,465; p < 0,001). Final marks were not different in both years, 18,61 ± 1,38vs18,78 ± 1,15, p = 0,158. Conclusions This innovative model of evaluation of student’s performance in medical appointment, showed a significant positive moderate correlation between patients’ and tutors’ marks in the setting of GP/FM at the IMM-FMUC, and was not different between years. Yearly evaluation must be continued.
- Use of the Core Content Classification in General Practice (3GCP) for qualitative analysis of context and practice. Ten-year study of undergraduate students’ final works in the Integrated Master's Degree in Medicine at the University of CoimbraPublication . Tavares, Ariana; Santiago, Luiz Miguel de Mendonça Soares; Jamoulle, Marc; Simões, José Augusto Rodrigues; Rosendo, InêsBackground: General Practice/Family Medicine includes approaches to the biological, technological, behavioural, sociological and anthropological domains. Objectives: To document the domains addressed in the final assignments of the Integrated Master’s Degree in Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, in the area of GP/FM. Material and methods: Observational study of the titles of final assignments, between 2008 and 2017, granted by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra. A domain analysis using as codes the International Classification in Primary Care-2 and the Q-Codes, a context classification in Primary Care, year of elaboration and gender of author was carried out for each title of final assignment. A descriptive and inferential analysis was performed through parametric and nonparametric tests. Results: 169 papers were analysed, 23.1% written by male students, with a positive overall growth dynamics (Δ = +7) between 2008 and 2017. Q-Codes were registered 276 times, while the ICPC-2 codes were used 133 times. Under the Q-Codes, “doctor’s issues” is the most frequently addressed (n = 112; 67.2%), and under the International Classification in Primary Care-2 classifications, the chapter “Psychological” was predominant (n = 35; 21%). Under the Q-Codes, subcategories “primary care setting” (n = 26; 15.6%), “health issue management” (n = 23; 13.8%) and “unable to code, unclear” (22; 13.2%) were dominant. Within the International Classification in Primary Care-2, the subcategories “diabetes noninsulin dependent” (n = 22; 13.2%), “depressive disorder” (8, 4.8%) and “hypertension uncomplicated” (8; 4.8%) were predominantly focused on. Conclusions: The 3CGP may become a professional tool, allowing for more precise identification of final works, for a better communication method in medical activity and for avoiding the loss of previously developed works.
