Abstract(s)
O presente relatório, elaborado no âmbito da obtenção do grau de mestre e conclusão
do Mestrado Integrado em Ciências Farmacêuticas, integra as experiências
profissionalizantes em Investigação, Farmácia Hospitalar e Farmácia Comunitária.
A vertente de investigação (Capítulo 1) consistiu num estudo retrospetivo dos episódios
de intoxicação registados no Serviço de Urgência da Unidade Local de Saúde de Castelo
Branco (ULSCB), durante o ano de 2022. Entre os 66 387 episódios de urgência desse
ano, foram identificados 87 casos de intoxicação relevantes para o estudo. As
substâncias de abuso foram a principal causa, com destaque para o álcool (49,4%),
seguidos pelos medicamentos. A via oral foi a via de administração mais frequente.
Observou-se ainda uma maior prevalência no sexo masculino (55,17%), das
intoxicações voluntárias, e uma distribuição irregular ao longo do ano, com picos em
meses associados a eventos festivos. Estes dados reforçam a importância da vigilância,
da aplicação de estratégias preventivas, e contribuem para uma caracterização do perfil
de intoxicações da região.
Na componente hospitalar (Capítulo 2), é descrita a passagem pelos Serviços
Farmacêuticos do Hospital Amato Lusitano (ULSCB), de 5 de fevereiro a 29 de março de
2024, descrevendo globalmente as funções desempenhadas pelo farmacêutico
hospitalar, bem como a experiência e as competências adquiridas ao longo de um
estágio de dois meses neste serviço.
Já o estágio em farmácia comunitária ocorreu na Farmácia Morgado Duarte, e a
duração de 12 semanas, possibilitando o contacto com a realidade quotidiana de um
farmacêutico comunitário, assim como a aquisição de aptidões práticas nomeadamente
através do contacto direto com o utente. Ao longo do Capítulo 3 é feita uma análise
detalhada do estágio realizado.
This report, prepared as part of the requirements for the master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, encompasses professional experiences in Research, Hospital Pharmacy, and Community Pharmacy. The research component (Chapter 1) consisted of a retrospective study of poisoning episodes recorded in the Emergency Department of the Local Health Unit of Castelo Branco (ULSCB) during the year 2022. Among the 66,387 emergency episodes that year, 87 relevant cases of poisoning were identified. Substances of abuse were the main cause, with alcohol being the most prevalent (49.4%), followed by medicines. The most common route of exposure was oral. A higher prevalence was observed in males (55.17%), in voluntary intoxications, and with irregular distribution throughout the year, with peaks during months associated with festive events. These data highlight the importance of surveillance, the implementation of preventive strategies, and contribute to the characterization of the regional poisoning profile. The hospital component (Chapter 2) describes the internship at the Pharmaceutical Services of the Amato Lusitano Hospital (ULSCB), carried out from February 5 to March 29, 2024, outlining the overall role of the hospital pharmacist, as well as the experience and skills acquired during the two-month placement in this service. The community pharmacy internship took place at Farmácia Morgado Duarte over a 12-week period, providing contact with the day-to-day reality of a community pharmacist and the opportunity to develop practical skills, particularly through direct interaction with patients. Chapter 3 presents a detailed analysis of this internship experience.
