Experiências Curriculares em Educação Interprofissional na Graduação em Odontologia : Uma Revisão Sistemática

Abstract

Healthcare professionals who effectively communicate and coordinate their work increase patient safety and the quality of care. Therefore, an Interprofessional Education (IPE) program can be a valuable addition to the curriculum of undergraduae health sciences. Thisstudy aimed to verify how curricular experiences in interprofessional education have been developed worldwide in undergraduate dentistry courses through a qualitative systematic review. A literature search was performed according to PRISMA guidelines including qualitative and quantitative-qualitative studies. The quality of included studies was assessed using the CASP Qualitative Checklist tool (2018). In the end, 22 studies were selected and the data extracted with reference to the acronym PICo (population, phenomenon of interest and context). A considerable amount of IPE experience distributed worldwide was observed. It was observed the use of active methodologies for the development of IPE in Universities. The interprofessional skills that stood out were: clarity of roles, teamwork and communication. Experiences in interprofessional education in Dentistry are found in many curricula of universities around the world, including in different areas, and not only in community-based learning. Thus, it was possible to observe that Dentistry has been growing and developing in the territory of interprofessionality, and students, professionals and teachers understand the importance of involvement with other health professions.
