Resumo Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar a formação de profissionais de saúde em programas de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde (RMS) direcionados à atenção básica no Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática da literatura conduzida nas bases de dados SciELO, BVS e PubMed no ano de 2019, registrada sob número CRD42019134350. A busca ocorreu utilizando descritores relacionados à RMS e à atenção básica, sendo incluídas pesquisas empíricas sobre o tema sem alto risco de viés. Dos 700 registros recuperados no processo de busca, 13 artigos foram incluídos na revisão. Todos os estudos apresentaram abordagem qualitativa, predominando estudos realizados no estado de São Paulo e com baixo risco de viés (69%). Os principais resultados foram categorizados em: contribuição de dispositivos para a formação pelo trabalho; estratégias balizadoras da formação; potencialidades da residência para a formação em saúde; e dificuldades experienciadas no processo de formação. A formação nos programas estudados tem proporcionado um novo perfil de profissional de saúde, apesar das limitações vivenciadas no processo. Torna-se necessário investimento na qualificação dos atores envolvidos na formação, uma vez que essa foi uma das principais dificuldades relatadas.

INTRODUCTION: The Multiprofessional Health Residency Programs (PRMS) were set up as a strategy for training workforce for the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the proportion of alumni from Primary Health Care Multiprofessional Residency Programs admitted into the SUS and associated factors. METHODS: This is a sectional study developed with alumni from Primary Health Care Multiprofessional Residency Programs from all over Brazil, encompassing the period from 2015 to 2019. Participants answered an online questionnaire with general personal information, admission into stricto sensu graduate school, the labor market and, specifically, the SUS. We applied Pearson's chi-square test for bivariate analyses and Poisson’s regression for multiple analysis. RESULTS: A total of 365 alumni from Programs from all Brazilian regions participated in the study. Of those, 80.2% reported entry into the labor market and 47.9% reported being employed in the SUS. Admission into the SUS has been associated with the professions that make up the Reference Team for Primary Health Care (PHC) (PR 1.87; 95% CI 1.54–2.28) and non-admission into stricto sensu graduate programs (PR 0.77; 95% CI 0.61–0.97). Regarding admission characteristics, the PHC scenario (47.4%) and work focused on health care (84.9%) were prevalent. Almost 40% of alumni who entered the SUS are working with unstable contracts. Besides, being a residency alumnus is often undervalued in recruitment (56.9%). Among those admitted into the SUS, 8.7% reported being selected to work in the Covid-19 pandemic effort. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study reinforce the need for a policy to encourage the maintenance, creation and valorization of the PRMS. They also warn about the possibility that admission into the SUS for workers is increasingly difficult due to the current underfunding of the health system.

Quilombola communities play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity through traditional management models. The use of medicinal plants within these communities reflects a deep reservoir of knowledge, passed down through generations. The objective of this study was to conduct a scoping review to systematically analyze and synthesize the existing literature on the medicinal plants used by Quilombola communities in Brazil, with a focus on their therapeutic applications and cultural significance. The Population, Concept, and Context (PCC) strategy was utilized, where the population refers to the Quilombolas, the concept pertains to medicinal plants, and the context involves illness. A total of 888 studies were initially identified, but only 10 met the inclusion criteria, covering 297 plant species from 80 different families. These plants are employed in a wide range of therapeutic applications, with decoction, alcohol maceration, and infusion being the most common methods of preparation. The study highlights the rich ethnopharmacological knowledge held by Quilombola communities and underscores the need for greater recognition and integration of this traditional knowledge into public health practices. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of preserving and validating the use of medicinal plants by these communities, which could serve as a foundation for future pharmacological discoveries and the development of culturally appropriate health interventions.
