Descrição
Resumo:Interprofessional education is an important pedagogical approach in health curricula. It aims at preparing students for care in a collaborative team environment. This paper is intended to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the scientific production in interprofessional health education in Brazil from 2012 to 2017. The research was conducted based on Virtual Health Library (BVS) data. The term relações interprofissionais (interprofessional relations) was used as controlled descriptor, and the terms educação interprofissional (interprofessional education), aprendizado colaborativo (collaborative learning), and trabalho em equipe (teamwork) were used as non-controlled descriptors. In the search, these descriptors were combined with the Boolean operator AND. A total of 46 publications (37 papers, 6 theses, 3 dissertations) were analyzed. The first authors were Brazilian and associated with public higher education institutions (78.2%). Nursing, Public Health, and Education periodicals (Qualis B) were highlighted among the analyzed papers. The most frequent studies were of qualitative approach (61%), conducted in the Southeastern region (58.7%), with participants who were health professionals (23.9%) and undergraduate, refresher, specialization, and residency students (19.5%). “Association of techniques” (24%) and semistructured interviews (21.7%) were the most observed data collection techniques. Content analysis was mentioned in 41.3% of publications as a data analysis type. These studies were about interprofessional education focused on health education (45.6%), interprofessional education in primary care services (23.9%) and in outpatient clinics and hospitals (15.1%). Six publications were funded. Interprofessional education research is incipient in Brazil and should be expanded and qualified.
