IMPLEMENTATION OF A SINGULAR THERAPEUTIC PROJECT WITH A FOCUS ON IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC PATHOLOGIES: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT (Atena Editora)

Abstract

The proposed solutions, such as grab bars and memory games, demonstrate a holistic approach considering both the physical safety and cognitive health of the patient 5,6. The involvement of the health team with the teacher and the group of students, when discussing the proposals, reinforces the importance of teamwork and collaboration in patient care. Through group discussion, intervention proposals were developed and, with different points of view, it was possible to formulate proposals that aimed to ensure that the family's needs were fully met. However, even with reports of improvement in relation to falls, the lack of adherence to bars and physical exercises shows that the proposed solutions do not always align with the patients' needs or lifestyle. This highlights the importance of continuous monitoring with patients to review and adapt the proposed interventions 1. Given this, the PTS highlighted, for us students, the importance of a personalized approach, collaboration between professionals and flexibility to adapt care to the needs and realities of patients. It was a valuable experience on the need to get closer to patients, understand their realities and be willing to adjust interventions to obtain results. Conclusion or recommendations: It is concluded that the application of the PTS in the context of the academic training of medical students is very relevant, encouraging them to gain greater insight into the needs of patients in an integral way and promoting reasoning about the application of the concept of health as a whole. Likewise, the PTS promotes teamwork in an interdisciplinary way, including the participation of students, teachers and healthcare staff. Finally, it is stated that the inclusion of practical activities and contact with patients in the initial semesters of medical training proves to be beneficial for both students, patients and the community who benefit from projects such as PTS.
