Cuido, logo sinto: análise das percepções despertadas pela visita médica em cuidadores/as de pacientes pediátricos.

Abstract

What guided the preparation of this work was the desire to understand more what are the perceptions awakened in the caregivers of children hospitalized at the University Hospital Alcides Carneiro, in the city of Campina Grande – PB, during the medical visit to the Pediatric Ward. to those caregivers, a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were applied to from there, the discursive material was obtained and submitted to analysis. When to analysis of said material, five categories stood out in terms of the visit medical: Perceptions regarding: 1-Time of visit; 2-Attention given by the physician to patients/caregivers; 3-Clarifications given about the diagnosis and treatment of the patient; 4-Quality of such visits; 5-Suggestions regarding the improvement of the quality of the visit. The work enabled us to demonstrate that, although there are praises regarding the performance of the visiting pediatrician in the ward, there are criticisms that, once heard, can improve the quality of the visit clinic to the Pediatric Ward, with gains for the patient, for the caregiver, for the professor-pediatrician and for the medical student.
