Abstract

ASSO, Rie Nadia et al. Avaliação das visitas domiciliárias por estudantes e pelas famílias: uma visão de quem as realiza e de quem as recebe. Rev. Bras. Educ. Med. [online]. 2013, vol.37, n.03, pp.326-332. ISSN 1981-5271.

The Marilia Medical School (Famema) is known for promoting practice-based and student-centred teaching. Students are placed in different Family Health Units (USF), where they can interact with the community in the development of action - reflection - action by performing home visits during the first two years of the Nursing and Medicine courses. Home visits are considered tools for understanding and caring for family health needs and as such embrace the social, psychological and economic aspects of the individual. Objective: This research investigated and compared the opinions of the student visitors and families who received home visits. Methods: This descriptive and quantitative research informs the opinions of the families and students about the visits. Conclusions: The families and students think it is important to continue investing in and improving this practice, aiming toward a humanized construction of the health-disease process and encouraging stronger ties between the health professional and patient since the start of medical academic education.
