Resumo

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O emprego da anestesia regional, em especial dos bloqueios nervosos periféricos (BNP) tem aumentado na prática anestesiológica devido à menor necessidade de instrumentação de vias aéreas, menor custo e excelente analgesia pós-operatória. Entretanto, sua utilização sofre restrições causadas pela falta de treinamento, maior tempo de realização, temor de complicações neurológicas e toxicidade sistêmica. O objetivo desse estudo foi medir as atitudes de anestesiologistas e médicos em especialização nos Centros de Ensino e Treinamento (CET/SBA) em relação aos BNP. MÉTODO: Foi construído um questionário com 25 itens sendo disponibilizado eletronicamente e por correio aos responsáveis de 80 CET, seus instrutores e médicos em especialização. RESULTADOS: Quarenta e dois CET (52,5%) devolveram 188 questionários, sendo 62 (32%) médicos em especialização (ME) e 126 (68%) anestesiologistas. O coeficiente de confiabilidade de Cronbach do questionário foi 0,79. A análise fatorial revelou seis fatores, que explicaram 53% da variância dos escores: fator 1 - atitudes positivas, responsável por 18,34 % da variância; fator 2 - treinamento/aplicação, responsável por 11,73 % da variância; fator 3 - aspectos negativos, responsável por 7,11 % da variância; fator 4 - fatores limitantes, responsável por 6,39 % da variância; fator 5 - anestesia regional como diferencial de competência, responsável por 5,79% da variância; e fator 6 - respeito pelo paciente, responsável por 5,4 % da variância. CONCLUSÕES: O questionário mostrou-se uma ferramenta fidedigna para medida de atitudes com relação à anestesia regional. Os anestesiologistas demonstraram maior interesse nos aspectos relacionados aos pacientes enquanto os ME tiveram como foco principal a aquisição de habilidades técnicas.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The use of regional blocks especially peripheral nerve blocks (PNB) has been increasing in anesthesiology due to the reduced need to manage the airways, lower cost, and excellent postoperative analgesia. However, its use has restrictions due to the lack of training, that it takes longer to be done, fear of neurological complications, and systemic toxicity. The objective of this study was to measure the attitude of anesthesiologists and anesthesiology residents at Teaching and Training Centers (CET/SBA) regarding PNBs. METHODS: A 25-item questionnaire was developed and it was available, via the Internet and by mail, to those responsible for the 80 CETs, their instructors and residents. RESULTS: Forty-two CETs (52.5%) returned 188 questionnaires, 62 (32%) from anesthesiology residents and 126 (68%) from anesthesiologists. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was 0.79. Factor analysis revealed six factors that explain 53% of scores variance: factor 1 - positive attitude, responsible for 18.34% of the variance; factor 2 - training/use, responsible for 11.73% of the variance; factor 3 - negative aspects, responsible for 7.11% of the variance; factor 4 - limiting factors, responsible for 6.39% of the variance; and factor 5 - regional block as a competence differential, responsible for 5.79% of the variance; and factor 6 - respect for the patient, responsible for 5.4% of the variance. CONCLUSIONS: The questionnaire proved to be a reliable tool to measure the attitude regarding regional blocks. Anesthesiologists demonstrated greater interest for patient-related aspects, while the main focus of residents was the acquisition of technical abilities.
