Caracterização da saúde, estilo de vida e nutrição de egressos dos programas de residências multiprofissionais e uniprofissional do hospital universitário de Dourados

Abstract

Residency is a period of physical and emotional exhaustion, which can compromise learning, as well as the residents' health and quality of life. The extensive weekly workload and sleep deprivation are predisposing factors to illness. This study aimed to describe the profile of residents who graduated from the Multiprofessional and Uniprofessional Residency Programs in Health at HU/UFGD in terms of health, lifestyle and nutrition. This is an observational, descriptive and quantitative study, with residents who joined between 2010 and 2020. An online questionnaire was used, consisting of questions related to illness, lifestyle habits and food consumption during residency. 90 graduates participated, most of them female, aged between 20 and 30 years, white self-declared race/color and nutritionist profession. It was found that the residence had a negative impact on health and eating habits, as well as contributing to changes in weight, increased consumption of alcohol and ultra-processed foods, decreased consumption of fruits and vegetables, and hindered the practice of physical exercises. The results show the need for policies that encourage the reduction of factors harmful to the health and quality of life of residents.
