Resumo: | Having acquired some knowledge in the palliative-care field over the last year, I felt the urgency for developing some practical skills. As such, contacts have been made and I enrolled in a 9-week internship in the South Adelaide Palliative Services (SAPS), in Adelaide, South Australia, from July to September 2014. I got to know a high-quality palliative-care service and develop activities like inpatients’ and outpatients’ assistance, consultancy and a research project. In my last week in Australia, I visited another palliative-care service at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, in order to compare different perspectives and ways of working. My main goal was to get the full experience of a highly specialised palliative-care service and because of that my schedule was rather flexible. I also wanted to develop skills in symptom management, communication, psychosocial approaches and research. All the activities developed were extremely productive and helped me to build some solid knowledge and ideas to apply in my daily work. Additionally, it helped me to see changes that can be made to improve the quality of care we provide to our patients. The research project concerning the issue of chronic refractory breathlessness has resulted in an article which is currently submitted for peer review to the “The Journal of Pain and Symptom Management”. |

Neste contexto, estabeleci alguns contactos e realizei um estágio prático de 9 semanas nos South Adelaide Palliative Services (SAPS), em Adelaide, Austrália, de Julho a Setembro de 2014. Durante o período que passei no SAPS pude observar um serviço de cuidados paliativos de elevada qualidade e desenvolver actividades no serviço de internamento, consulta externa, consultoria hospitalar e um projecto de investigação. Na minha última semana na Austrália visitei um segundo serviço de cuidados paliativos no Royal Melbourne Hospital, em Melbourne com o intuito de comparar diferente perspectivas e modos de trabalho. O principal objectivo era captar toda a experiência de um serviço de cuidados paliativos altamente especializado e portanto a minha rotação pelos diferentes serviços disponíveis era particularmente flexível. Outros objectivos eram desenvolver competências nas áreas do controlo sintomático, comunicação, abordagem psicossocial e investigação. Todas as actividades desenvolvidas foram extremamente produtivas e ajudaram-me a construir conhecimento sólido e ideias para aplicação no meu trabalho diário. Adicionalmente, permitiu-me identificar as mudanças que podem ser feitas para melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados que prestamos aos doentes. O projecto de investigação desenvolvido sobre dispneia crónica refractária resultou num artigo científico que foi submetido para revisão no “The Journal of Pain and Symptom Management”.Swetenham, CatherineCurrow, DavidVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaFerreira, Diana Marques Barroso Honório2016-04-19T09:04:52Z2015-07-0320152015-07-03T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/19734TID:203016424enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-06T01:35:52Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/19734Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:16:27.906868Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
