| Abstract | Background: Worldwide, primary care is for most people the gateway into many health systems. Offering solutions
to the demands of the communities served requires the constant preparation of professionals, especially doctors
and medical undergraduate students. We analyze and propose ways to improve the teaching and learning
processes facilitated by the Basic Family Health Units (BFHUs) based on the use of electronic portals with evidence based medicine criteria.
Method: First phase: The authors conducted a qualitative-quantitative study on students and instructors of primary
care (PC) medicine by administering a survey of open- and closed-ended questions at medical schools. The closed ended questions were studied with descriptive statistics, and open-ended questions were analyzed via the creation
of categories. Perceptions of major teaching and learning problems were then identified.
Second phase: Meetings were held with students and their instructors for 6 months and involved the use of
electronic portals and the application of new questionnaires using a Likert scale for pre- and postevaluation.
Results: In the first phase, 40% of the students considered local instructor training levels a problem. A similar result
was found regarding teachers’ lectures, revealing a lack of adequate PC training and performance.
Building on our results, we focused on BFHUs to apply new strategies for teaching and learning, such as the use of
the Evidence-Based Health (SBE) Portal, which includes several databases with clinical evidence criteria. In the
second phase, the authors identified an improvement in the quality of learning among instructors and students.
This outcome improved safety in daily clinical practice in PC, possibly with better results for its users.
Conclusions: The use of electronic portals can facilitate BFHU teaching and learning and promote the health of
users. | pt_BR |
