Resumo: | Introduction: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has gained relevance as a method of prevention for HIV in certain people and settings. Following the publication of the guideline on PrEP prescribing in Portugal, we aimed to assess the knowledge of Portuguese Medical Students about PrEP.Material and Methods: An online survey was sent to Medical students of Portuguese Medical Schools. We conducted a descriptive analysis of the results and an analytic cross-sectional study to identify factors associated with “knowing about PrEP”, “having had one class about PrEP” and “identifying eligible groups correctly”.Results: Of the 796 students that responded to the survey, 64.6% were aware of what PrEP is. Of these, 34.44% acquired this knowledge during their training. Out of the total amount of respondents, 4.77% could identify correctly and completely the eligible groups for PrEP. As the training years went by, the probability of being aware of PrEP, having had one class about PrEP, and identifying the eligible groups correctly, increased. Of the sixth-year students, 43.48% had had one class about PrEP and among the students that were aware of PrEP, 28% identified what the eligible groups were. After adjusting for the school year, we found differences between Medical Schools regarding the outcomes. The association between the different ways of learning about PrEP and the ability to correctly identify eligible groups for PrEP was not statistically significant.Conclusion: The differences between Medical Schools could be harmonized through changes in the medical curricula that would allow this topic to be addressed more often. |

Após a entrada em vigor das normas para prescrição em Portugal, pretendemos aferir o conhecimento em relação à PrEP entre os estudantes de Medicina em Portugal.Material e Métodos: Foi enviado um questionário online aos estudantes de Medicina das escolas médicas portuguesas. Foi feita uma análise descritiva dos resultados e um estudo transversal analítico para identificar fatores associados a “conhecer a PrEP”, “ter tido uma aula de PrEP”, e “identificar grupos elegíveis corretamente”.Resultados: Dos 796 estudantes que responderam, 64,6% sabiam o que era a PrEP. Destes, 34,44% obteve conhecimento sobre a mesma durante a sua formação. Entre os respondentes, 4,77% identificaram correta e completamente os grupos elegíveis. Com o avançar do ano letivo, a probabilidade de conhecer a PrEP, ter tido uma aula de PrEP e identificar os grupos corretamente aumentava. No sexto ano, 43,48% tinham tido uma aula sobre PrEP e entre os que conheciam a PrEP, 28% identificaram os grupos elegíveis. Existem diferenças entre as escolas médicas após ajustamento para o ano letivo em relação aos resultados obtidos. A forma como se tomou conhecimento da PrEP não alterou de forma estatisticamente significativa a capacidade de identificar corretamente grupos elegíveisConclusão: As diferenças entre as escolas médicas poderão ser harmonizadas. Esta temática poderá ser reforçada nos respetivos currículos.Ordem dos Médicos2022-04-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/15446Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 35 No. 4 (2022): April; 242-248Acta Médica Portuguesa; Vol. 35 N.º 4 (2022): Abril; 242-2481646-07580870-399Xreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporenghttps://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/15446https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/15446/6518https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/15446/15209https://www.actamedicaportuguesa.com/revista/index.php/amp/article/view/15446/6519Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Acta Médica Portuguesainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDuarte, FranciscoRua, NunoGomes, DavidRicoca Peixoto, VascoAzevedo, DanielaGraça, DuarteTeixeira, InêsFernandes, InêsFrutuoso, JoãoCarvalho, MargaridaRedondo, MariaSilva, AlexandreFaria, AnaLopes, AnaVarino, FilipeGomes, JoanaTomaz, MarcoFigueiredo, VascoAlmeida, AnaRibeiro, BrunoOliveira, CatarinaPinto, DiogoSantana, MatildeAraújo, RitaRibeiro, Sara2023-07-23T03:00:57Zoai:ojs.www.actamedicaportuguesa.com:article/15446Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:20:38.790965Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
