- Frontline health workers: training needs assessment on immunisation programme. An EU/EEA-based surveyPublication . Gianfredi, Vincenza; Oradini-Alacreu, Aurea; Sá, Regina; Blandi, Lorenzo; Cadeddu, Chiara; Ricciardi, Walter; Signorelli, Carlo; Odone, AnnaBackground As part of continuing medical education, frontline healthcare workers (FHWs) have to maintain high standards of competence and knowledge. It is particularly true in the field of vaccination and vaccine acceptance, where knowledge and technologies evolve rapidly. MethodsFor this reason, we developed an anonymous 47-item web-based survey aimed to collect data about recent existing courses and FHWs' knowledge, learning needs and preferences for future courses, both in vaccinology and vaccine acceptance at the European level. The survey was conducted from October to November 2021, and disseminated through the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region (ASPHER) and European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) networks by email.ResultsA total of 160 FHWs (63% females, 61% physicians) completed the questionnaire. Approximately half of the sample considered themselves skilled in almost all the explored areas considering vaccinology and vaccine acceptance. However, respondents were interested in attending courses regarding research and science and how to deal with misinformation and disinformation for the future. Moreover, an online version of the course, or at least a mixed format (in person and online), is considered the preferred format. Lastly, the most supportive materials in dealing with vaccinology and vaccine acceptance were short courses on specific topics.ConclusionsOur results are relevant to inform professional development staff in order to plan and implement more targeted courses in terms of educational training programmes and teaching formats that better match the interests and needs of FHWs.
- O papel do médico de saúde pública em contexto hospitalar: práticas do sul da Europa como exemplo para PortugalPublication . Sá, Regina; Amparo, Nuno; Urrútia, Gerard; Signorelli, CarloAinda que tradicionalmente associada a intervenções de caráter populacional e medidas preventivas comunitárias, a Saúde Pública tem evoluído para responder aos desafios complexos do setor da saúde. Nos últimos anos, inclusive, em vários países europeus, tem-se observado um reconhecimento crescente do contributo dos médicos de Saúde Pública (MSP) como peças fundamentais em ambiente hospitalar e na prestação de serviços de saúde mais abrangentes. Esta visão é transponível para Portugal, já que os MSP possuem competências que, embora inicialmente direcionadas à saúde pública num sentido amplo, são facilmente adaptáveis a um contexto hospitalar.1 Esta perspetiva tem como objetivo principal descrever as competências e atividades dos MSP em contextos hospitalares, utilizando como base dois estudos de caso: o Ospedale San Raffaele em Milão, Itália, e o Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau em Barcelona, Espanha. A partir dessas experiências, procuramos propor um modelo adaptado à realidade portuguesa, que vise a integração efetiva da especialidade médica de Saúde Pública nos hospitais do país.
