O trabalho elaborado apresenta trĂȘs divisĂ”es correspondentes Ă s vertentes experienciadas durante o meu EstĂĄgio Curricular inserido no plano de estudos do Mestrado Integrado em CiĂȘncias FarmacĂȘuticas: FarmĂĄcia ComunitĂĄria, FarmĂĄcia Hospitalar e Investigação. O primeiro capĂtulo Ă© referente Ă investigação desenvolvida no Ăąmbito da consulta do viajante e dos cuidados farmacĂȘuticos direcionados para o utente que tenciona viajar. O nĂșmero de indivĂduos que viaja internacionalmente para paĂses tropicais e subtropicais tem vindo a aumentar. Os paĂses lusĂłfonos e os da AmĂ©rica Latina, que estĂŁo entre os destinos mais procurados para viajar, apresentam potenciais riscos para a saĂșde por isso torna-se essencial fazer uma boa preparação da viagem. A consulta do viajante serve para abordar atitudes preventivas antes, durante e apĂłs a viagem, podendo incluir a administração de vacinas, a prescrição de medicação profilĂĄtica e conselhos sobre segurança alimentar. O aconselhamento ao viajante Ă© determinado pelo destino e caracterĂsticas especĂficas da viagem, assim como pelo perfil e estado de saĂșde do viajante. Ă nesta consulta que ocorre a recomendação e prescrição de um kit mĂ©dico de acordo com as necessidades individuais do viajante. O objetivo deste estudo Ă© preparar os serviços farmacĂȘuticos para a consulta do viajante tendo como destino os paĂses lusĂłfonos e os da AmĂ©rica Latina. Para tal, foi efetuada uma revisĂŁo bibliogrĂĄfica atravĂ©s da pesquisa de artigos cientĂficos na base de dados eletrĂłnica da PubMed, intersectando os termos "travellers' health" e "travelling internationally" e foi realizada uma pesquisa de informação disponĂvel em sites oficiais nacionais e internacionais de Medicina Tropical. ApĂłs a anĂĄlise da informação recolhida foram elaborados trĂȘs diferentes kits para os paĂses lusĂłfonos e quatro para os da AmĂ©rica Latina, tendo em conta o paĂs de destino e o estado de imunização do viajante. Foram tambĂ©m realizados folhetos informativos com as recomendaçÔes/medidas preventivas necessĂĄrias. Todos os kits sĂŁo constituĂdos por um conjunto de medicamentos e produtos farmacĂȘuticos bĂĄsicos: fita adesiva; solução desinfetante para feridas; pensos rĂĄpidos; ligaduras; gotas oftĂĄlmicas emolientes; compressas esterilizadas; termĂłmetro clĂnico; antissĂ©ptico; antidiarreico; antipirĂ©tico e analgĂ©sico; anti-histamĂnico; descongestionante nasal; sais de re-hidratação oral; tesouras e alfinetes de segurança; um protetor solar com proteção UVA e UVB e um repelente de insetos. Nos paĂses endĂ©micos para a malĂĄria, este kit deve conter um antimalĂĄrico e uma rede mosquiteira como forma de prevenção desta doença. Os kits podem sofrer algumas alteraçÔes no caso de serem viajantes com condiçÔes clĂnicas prĂ©-existentes e/ou necessidades especiais. Estes kits prĂ©-elaborados juntamente com os folhetos informativos possibilitam um adequado apoio ao utente que tenciona viajar para estes paĂses e irĂŁo permitir uma uniformização da informação prestada ao viajante. Acreditamos que esta informação se revelarĂĄ de grande utilidade, contribuindo para dar resposta, de forma rĂĄpida e eficaz, Ă s questĂ”es neste Ăąmbito, possibilitando ao farmacĂȘutico ter uma participação ativa na prevenção de problemas saĂșde. O segundo capĂtulo relata todas as atividades desenvolvidas em FarmĂĄcia ComunitĂĄria decorridas na FarmĂĄcia Cristelo durante trĂȘs meses e o terceiro capĂtulo Ă© uma reflexĂŁo das competĂȘncias adquiridas durante o estĂĄgio realizado nos Serviços FarmacĂȘuticos do Centro Hospitalar do TĂąmega e Sousa, tendo a duração de dois meses. Ambos os estĂĄgios contribuĂram de forma positiva para a minha evolução enquanto futura farmacĂȘutica e enquanto ser humano.
This report presents three areas experienced during my trainship inserted in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Master`s degree study plan: Community Pharmacy, Hospital Pharmacy and Research. The first chapter is related to the research work about traveler`s consultation and the pharmaceutical care for people who travel abroad. Travelling to tropical and subtropical countries has been increasing. The countries of Latin America and Portuguese-speaking countries, which are among the most travelled destinations worldwide, pose potential health risks so it is essential to make a good preparation for the trip. Consultation about travel abroad addresses preventive attitudes before, during and after the trip, which may include immunizations, the prescription of prophylactic medication and advice on food safety. Advice to travellers is determined by the destination and characteristics of the trip, as well as by the profile and health status of the person who wishes to travel abroad. It is at the initial consultation about travel abroad that recommendations and a prescription of a travel medicine kit may occur in accordance with the individual needs of the traveller. The aim of this study is prepare the Pharmaceutical Services for the travel consultation for people who travel abroad to Latin America and Portuguese-speaking countries. A literature review was performed by searching for scientific articles in the PubMed electronic database, intersecting the terms "travellersâ health" and "travelling internationally" and national and international tropical medicine official websites were also consulted. Analysis of the collected data originated three diverse kits for people who travel abroad to Portuguese-speaking countries and four kits for people who travel abroad to Latin America, according to destination and immunization status of the traveller. All kits include leaflets with necessary recommendations / preventive measures, adhesive bandages, disinfectant solution for wounds, plasters, ligatures, emollients eye-drops, sterile compresses,a clinical thermometer, an antiseptic, an antidiarrheal, an analgesic and antipyretic, an antihistamine, a nasal decongestant, oral rehydration salts, scissors and safety pins, a sunscreen with UVA and UVB protection as well as an insect repellent. In addition to those products, some kits should also include an antimalarial and a bed net for malaria prevention. The kits may undergo some changes in case of travellers with pre-existing medical conditions and / or special needs. The pre-manufactured kits and the leaflets will provide more adequate support for people who travel abroad to Latin America and Portuguese-speaking countries and will allow for standardization of information to the user. We believe that this information will prove useful, helping to provide quick and effective solutions to health issues related to travelling abroad, allowing the pharmacist to have an active role in prevention of health problems. The second chapter describes the activities developed through the Community Pharmacy performed in FarmĂĄcia Cristelo along three months and the third chapter is a reflection of skills acquired during my trainship in Hospital Pharmaceutical Services, undertaken in Hospital Center of TĂąmega and Sousa EPE., in two months. Both training periods allowed a positive evolution for my pharmaceutical and human future career.
