Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho desenrola-se em três capítulos correspondentes às três vertentes que a minha experiência profissionalizante, para obtenção do grau de mestre em Ciências Farmacêuticas, englobou. As vertentes dizem respeito à investigação, à farmácia comunitária, e à farmácia hospitalar.
No capítulo I encontra-se exposto o projeto de dissertação de mestrado, que se trata de um trabalho de investigação, que foi desenvolvido num lar de idosos, com a intenção de estudar a gestão da medicação numa Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas Idosas.
Nos tempos que correm o crescente envelhecimento demográfico da população é uma realidade, bem como o aumento da prevalência de doenças crónicas e incapacitantes que determinam muitas vezes a institucionalização dos mais velhos. Os idosos, principalmente idosos institucionalizados, apresentam múltiplos diagnósticos e encontram-se muitas vezes polimedicados. Esta situação, acrescida da escassez de legislação específica que defina os procedimentos e normas no processo de gestão da medicação nas instituições, acarreta impactos negativos para os utentes. Este trabalho teve como objetivo principal analisar todos os processos envolvidos na gestão da medicação numa Estrutura Residencial para Pessoas Idosas, da cidade da Covilhã, permitindo identificar oportunidades de melhoria e de intervenção por parte do farmacêutico.
O capítulo II diz respeito ao relatório resultante das atividades desenvolvidas e da experiência adquirida, enquanto estagiária, na Farmácia Pedroso da Covilhã. No relatório está descrito o funcionamento da farmácia, as responsabilidades que estão a cargo do farmacêutico comunitário, bem como a referência a situações que caracterizaram este período de aprendizagem. Este estágio revelou-se um importante complemento para a minha formação enquanto futura profissional, na medida em que me possibilitou a aplicação prática dos conhecimentos teóricos adquiridos.
O capítulo III refere-se à caracterização e funcionamento dos serviços farmacêuticos do Centro Hospitalar Cova da Beira. O relatório, redigido neste capítulo, descreve a realidade com a qual contactei e as várias atividades que tive oportunidade de aprender e desenvolver. Esta experiência nos serviços farmacêuticos hospitalares revelou o papel de destaque das ações desempenhadas pelo farmacêutico hospitalar, enquanto especialista e gestor da terapêutica.
This work unfolds in three chapters corresponding to the three aspects that my professional experience, for the degree of Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences, included. The three chapters include research carried out, community pharmacy and hospital pharmacy traineeship. In Chapter I is exposed the master's thesis project, which is a research project that was developed in a nursing home care for elderly an intended to study the medication management in a “Residential Structure for Older People". These days the increasing aging of the population is a reality, as well as the increasing prevalence of chronic and disabling diseases that often determine the institutionalization of elders. The elderly, especially institutionalized elderly, have multiple diagnoses and are often polymedicated. This situation plus the lack of specific legislation to define the procedures and standards in the medication management process within these institutions, brings negative impact to users. This study had as main objective to analyse all the processes involved in medication management in a “Residential Structure for Older Persons” in the city of Covilhã, allowing identifying opportunities for improvement and intervention by the pharmacist. Chapter II concerns the resulting report of the activities and the experience gained as a trainee in Pedroso Pharmacy of Covilhã. The report describes the operation of the pharmacy, the responsibilities that are in charge of the community pharmacist as well as the reference to situations that characterized this period of learning. This stage proved to be an important complement to my background as a future pharmacist, to the extent that enabled me to the practical application of theoretical knowledge. Chapter III relates to the characterization and operation of pharmaceutical services of the Cova da Beira Hospital Centre. The report, drafted in this chapter, describes the reality with which I contacted during the traineeship and the various activities with which I had the opportunity to learn and develop. This experience in the hospital pharmacy services revealed the important role of the actions performed by the hospital pharmacist, as a specialist and treatment manager.
