O presente trabalho encontra-se dividido em dois segmentos principais. O segmento de investigação, centrado na caracterização do consumo de álcool etílico entre estudantes universitários, e o segmento profissionalizante, desenvolvido em Farmácia Comunitária, no âmbito do estágio final do Mestrado Integrado em Ciências Farmacêuticas. No segmento de investigação, foi realizado um estudo quantitativo, observacional e transversal com o objetivo de caracterizar os padrões de consumo de álcool na comunidade estudantil da Universidade da Beira Interior, identificar fatores associados, avaliar perceções, consequências e o conhecimento sobre iniciativas de prevenção no meio académico. Através da aplicação de um questionário online a 350 estudantes, verificou-se uma elevada prevalência de consumo, com destaque para práticas de risco como binge drinking, consumo prévio a saídas noturnas e experiências com consequências a nível académico, social e de saúde. Os dados demonstraram uma maior adesão ao consumo por parte de estudantes do género masculino, com idades mais jovens e em ciclos de estudos iniciais. No segmento profissionalizante, o estágio decorreu em Farmácia Comunitária, na Farmácia Modelar de 3 de fevereiro a 20 de junho, sob supervisão da Dra. Tânia Correia. Este permitiu o desenvolvimento de competências técnico-científicas e de comunicação em contexto real. Foram abordadas diversas áreas da prática farmacêutica, incluindo a dispensa de medicamentos sujeitos a receita médica e não sujeitos, aconselhamento farmacoterapêutico, gestão de stocks e armazenamento, bem como a participação em rastreios e outras iniciativas promovidas pela farmácia.
This thesis is structured into two main segments: a research-based segment focused on characterising ethanol consumption among university students, and a professional internship segment carried out in a Community Pharmacy, as part of the final stage of the Integrated Master's Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences. In the research segment, a quantitative, observational, and cross-sectional study was carried out to characterize alcohol consumption patterns among students attending the University of Beira Interior (UBI), identify associated factors, evaluate perceptions, consequences, and awareness of alcohol-related prevention initiatives within the academic context. A total of 350 students completed an online questionnaire. Results revealed a high prevalence of alcohol use, with risky behaviours such as binge drinking, pre-drinking before going out at night, and negative academic, social, and health-related consequences. Higher consumption rates were observed among male students, younger ages, and those enrolled in the early stages of higher education. The professional component was developed in a Community Pharmacy setting, at Farmácia Modelar, from 3 February to 20 June, under the supervision of Dr. Tânia Correia. This placement enabled the acquisition of technical, scientific, and communication skills in a real-world context. Various aspects of pharmaceutical practice were explored, including the dispensing of prescription and non-prescription medicines, pharmacotherapeutic counselling, stock management and storage, as well as participation in health screenings and community initiatives promoted by the pharmacy.
