Abstract(s)
O presente relatório foi elaborado no âmbito da unidade curricular “Estágio” do
Mestrado Integrado em Ciências Farmacêuticas, sendo composto por três capítulos
distintos: o Capítulo I que aborda a componente de investigação; o Capítulo II referente
à experiência profissionalizante na área da Farmácia Hospitalar; e o Capítulo III que
versa sobre a experiência profissionalizante na vertente da Farmácia Comunitária.
O primeiro capítulo, referente à componente de investigação, aborda a temática da
utilização da planta da canábis tanto para fins recreativos como para fins medicinais. Os
canabinóides são das substâncias psicoativas mais consumidas a nível global, o que
suscita uma preocupação constante, sobretudo na população mais jovem como é o caso
dos estudantes universitários. Por outro lado, diversos estudos têm demonstrado os
inúmeros benefícios terapêuticos associados à canábis em diferentes patologias, o que
enfatiza a importância da abordagem destas duas vertentes.
Deste modo, realizou-se um estudo observacional transversal direcionado aos estudantes
da Universidade da Beira Interior, Universidade de Coimbra e Universidade de Aveiro,
com intuito de analisar a prevalência e o consumo recreativo da canábis, e opiniões
relativas à canábis medicinal. Para tal, implementou-se um inquérito online na
plataforma Google Forms. Posteriormente, realizou-se o tratamento estatístico dos
dados recolhidos utilizando o programa IBM SPSS Statistics 26.
Participaram neste estudo cerca de 417 estudantes, com uma predominância de alunos
do sexo feminino (56,8%), da área das Ciências da Saúde (39,4%) e da faixa etária dos 18
aos 25 anos (80,7%). A maioria dos estudantes pertencia à Universidade da Beira Interior
(61,9%), enquanto que 22,0% pertenciam à Universidade de Coimbra e 16,1% à
Universidade de Aveiro.
Relativamente ao consumo recreativo de canábis, cerca de 58,8% dos estudantes
relataram consumir, ou já ter consumido alguma vez canábis. Dos consumidores, 14,3%
afirmam consumir diariamente esta substância e a maioria revela ter consumido pela
primeira vez canábis enquanto frequentava o ensino secundário (15/16 anos - 18 anos)
(53,1%), motivados principalmente pela curiosidade (57,2%). A forma de consumo mais
prevalente nos estudantes foi a flor seca de canábis (81,6%) e os principais efeitos
adversos relatados por estes foram boca seca, aumento de apetite e ansiedade. O
consumo de canábis é feito maioritariamente na companhia de amigos (86,3%), em locais como a casa de amigos (33,2%), casa própria (33,6%) ou na rua (18,6%), com o
propósito de relaxamento/sensação de bem-estar (56,7%) e elevar o humor/satisfação
(27,1%). A grande maioria dos estudantes acredita que existem benefícios nos
medicamentos e substâncias à base de canábis (83,0%) e 50,8% dos inquiridos concorda
com a venda livre de canábis medicinal em farmácia, com aconselhamento de um
farmacêutico. No que toca ao conhecimento das indicações terapêuticas onde a canábis
medicinal é benéfica, as indicações mais selecionadas pelos estudantes foram dor
crónica, tratamento de ansiedade e insónias, depressão, transtorno de stress póstraumático e doença de Parkinson.
O segundo capítulo descreve todas as atividades desenvolvidas durante o meu estágio
curricular nos Serviços Farmacêuticos do Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, no período
compreendido entre 3 de outubro e 25 de novembro de 2022, sob orientação da Dr.ª
Susana Carvalho. Ao longo do capítulo, são descritos os distintos setores de atuação e
funções desempenhadas pelo farmacêutico na farmácia hospitalar, os quais pude
observar de perto durante o meu estágio, bem como todas as competências adquiridas
no decurso deste período.
O terceiro capítulo deste relatório contempla toda a experiência e competências
adquiridas na Farmácia Molelos, localizada no concelho de Tondela, durante o período
de 28 de novembro de 2022 a 17 de fevereiro de 2023, sob orientação da Dr.ª Carla
Soares. Este capítulo aborda o papel do farmacêutico na farmácia comunitária,
evidenciando as responsabilidades inerentes a esta função e descreve as atividades
desenvolvidas durante a minha passagem nas diferentes áreas de atuação do
farmacêutico.
The present report has been elaborated within the scope of the curricular unit "Internship" of the Integrated Master in Pharmaceutical Sciences, composed of three distinct chapters: Chapter I which addresses the research component; Chapter II refers to the professional experience in the field of Hospital Pharmacy; and Chapter III covers the professional experience in the field of Community Pharmacy. The first chapter, referring to the research component, addresses the use of cannabis plants for both recreational and medicinal purposes. Cannabinoids are the most consumed psychoactive substances globally, which raises a constant concern, especially among the younger population, such as university students. On the other hand, several studies have demonstrated the numerous therapeutic benefits associated with this plant in different pathologies, which emphasizes the importance of approaching these two aspects. Thus, a cross-sectional observational study was carried out targeting students from the University of Beira Interior, University of Coimbra, and University of Aveiro, in order to analyze the prevalence and recreational use of cannabis, and opinions regarding medical cannabis. This was accomplished through the implementation of an online survey on the Google Forms platform. Subsequently, the statistical treatment of the collected data was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 program. About 417 students participated in this study, with a predominance of female students (56.8%), from the Health Sciences area (39.4%) and from the age group of 18 to 25 years old (80.7%). The majority of students belonged to the University of Beira Interior (61.9%), while 22.0% belonged to the University of Coimbra and 16.1% to the University of Aveiro. Regarding the recreational use of cannabis, approximately 58.8% of students reported consuming or having consumed cannabis at some point. Of the consumers, 14.3% claim to consume this substance daily, and the majority reported having consumed cannabis for the first time while attending high school (15/16 years old - 18 years old) (53.1%), motivated mainly by curiosity (57.2%). The most prevalent form of consumption among students was dry cannabis flower (81.6%) and the main adverse effects reported by them were dry mouth, increased appetite and anxiety. Cannabis consumption is mainly done in the company of friends (86.3%), in places such as friends' houses (33.2%), own house (33.6%) or on the street (18.6%), for the purpose of relaxation/sensation of well-being (56.7%), and to elevate mood/satisfaction (27.1%). The vast majority of students believe that there are benefits from cannabis-based drugs and substances (83.0%), and 50.8% of respondents agree with the over-the-counter sale of medicinal cannabis in pharmacies, with the advice of a pharmacist. Regarding the knowledge of therapeutic indications where medicinal cannabis is beneficial, the indications most chosen by students were chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia treatment, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and Parkinson's disease. The second chapter describes all the activities carried out during my curricular internship at the Pharmaceutical Services of the Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, between October 3 and November 25, 2022, under the guidance of Dr. Susana Carvalho. Throughout the chapter, the different areas of activity and functions performed by the pharmacist in the hospital pharmacy are described, which I was able to observe closely during my internship, as well as all the skills acquired during this period. The third chapter of this report presents the experience and competencies acquired during my internship at the Farmácia Molelos, located in the municipality of Tondela, during the period from November 28, 2022, to February 17, 2023, under the guidance of Dr. Carla Soares. This chapter addresses the role of the pharmacist in the community pharmacy, highlighting the inherent responsibilities of this function, and describes the activities developed during my passage in the different areas of the pharmacist's action.
