The first postgraduate class in Management of the Brazilian System of Organ and Tissue Transplants successfully concluded its activities. Started in 2021 with 40 students and completed this year, the course awarded the title of specialist to professionals from the Central-West and North regions of the country, including employees from the Ministry of Health. The specialization was designed by the Transplant Center of the Federal District (CET -DF) and carried out in partnership with the School of Health Sciences (ESCS), of the Department of Health (SES-DF).
As course completion work, application projects were prepared, of which 13 were selected to participate in the XVIII Brazilian Transplant Congress and the XXI Luso-Brazilian Transplant Congress. The two events will take place together, between the 27th and 30th of this month, in Florianópolis (SC).
The projects address topics such as nursing diagnoses for the area of bone marrow transplantation, development of a state transplant plan, proposals for improvement in service management, evaluation of the eye bank service by the cornea donor’s family member and adoption of a system computerized for management, among others.
A pioneer in the country for focusing on system management, the course is structured into six modules, which lead students to understand the tripod of donation, capture and transplants, at federal, state and municipal levels. “The studies focused on management models and tools, strategic planning, scenario mapping, project management, control mechanisms and more”, informs the coordinator and author of the course, Anderson Galante, who works at CET-DF.
“All these efforts are to qualify professionals in the field of transplant management and enhance results”, explains Galante, who also coordinates a research group focused on the process of donation, harvesting and transplants of organs and tissues, in which researchers from several educational institutions and ESCS students.
Next class
The second postgraduate class will have 20 places allocated to professionals from the Intra-Hospital Commission for Donation of Organs and Tissues for Transplants in the Federal District (Cihdott-DF) and employees from the DF Transplant Center. The notice will soon be made available on the Health Sciences Teaching and Research Foundation (Fepecs) website, under the Selection Process tab. The course is scheduled to start in October and will be offered in synchronous online mode – which takes place in real time.
Feedback
The coordinator of the Pará State Transplant Center, Ierecê Miranda, will present one of the selected projects. This is a proposal to prepare the state donation and transplant plan for that state. “Although we have already implemented the transplant program 23 years ago, we still do not have this state guidance, which is essential to consolidate, ensure and strengthen policies within this theme”, she points out.
“The postgraduate course helped us understand many of the management tools that we had already heard about, allowing us to better organize the system and understand where to start the state plan”, adds Ierecê.
Another postgraduate participant whose final project was selected for the conferences was clinical nurse Ludmyla Andrade, who works at Cihdott at Hospital Sírio Libanês. The work analyzes the inclusion of nursing diagnoses in the systematization of care for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSC) patients – who have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into specialized cells of blood tissue and the immune system.
“These are diagnoses that the nurse can make when treating the patient to improve the care provided, in cases such as anxiety related to death, unbalanced nutrition, diarrhea, fatigue and impaired sleep pattern”, he explains. Ludmyla also states that, in addition to improving the DF’s transplant sector, the specialization helped her achieve a new professional position. Before being a clinical nurse, she was in direct care.
Numbers
According to data from the InfoSaúde-DF portal, 2,391 procedures were carried out in the DF in the last four years – from 2020 to 2023 –, considering the public and private health network. During the period, there were 1,057 cornea, 529 bone marrow, 371 liver, 337 kidney and 97 heart transplants.
