Introdução: A doação do corpo é um dos pilares para a realização de disseções de cadáveres, que permitem o ensino da Anatomia no curso de medicina e em formação pós-graduada.
Objetivos: Com este trabalho pretende-se fazer uma revisão narrativa sobre a importância e o impacto da doação do corpo para fins de educação e ciência, com destaque à evolução histórica das doações. Adicionalmente, pretende-se caracterizar o perfil dos dadores do Instituto de Anatomia da FMUL.
Métodos: Entre setembro de 2022 e março de 2023 foi aplicado um inquérito anónimo e consentido a dadores do Instituto de Anatomia da FMUL.
Resultados: Foram obtidos 31 questionários preenchidos. A idade média foi de 61,81 anos, sendo as mulheres o sexo predominante. A quase totalidade é de nacionalidade portuguesa e a sua área de residência é na área metropolitana de Lisboa. Mais de 50% é casado/a e cerca de um quarto reside sozinho. A maioria refere ter concluído o ensino secundário ou a licenciatura, sendo as profissões mais comuns administrativo e técnicos e profissões de nível intermédio. Mais de metade afirma ser católico. Os meios pelos quais os potenciais dadores tiveram conhecimento acerca dos programas de doação foram os meios de comunicação/internet e um amigo ou familiar. Ajudar na investigação e formação médica foi a razão para a doação mais escolhida. Por fim, 86,2% respondeu que não tinha familiares que já tivessem sido também dadores.
Conclusões: Este trabalho possibilitou refletir sobre a evolução histórica da doação do corpo à ciência para fins de investigação e ensino e, através de um inquérito, caracterizar de forma genérica o perfil do potencial dador na área de Lisboa e determinar quais as populações mais motivadas às dádivas. A recolha destas informações poderá ajudar a direcionar as iniciativas que promovem as doações cadavéricas e abranger um maior público-alvo.
Introduction: The body donation is the pillar of dissections of corpses that allows the teaching of anatomy in medical schools. Objectives: With this dissertation it is intended to make a narrative review on the impact and significance of donating the body to science, giving a special focus to the historical evolution of the body donations. Additionally, the main goal is to describe the profile of the body donors of the Instituto de Anatomia da FMUL. Methods: Between September 2022 and March 2023, an anonymous and consented survey was conducted to body donators of the Instituto de Anatomia da FMUL. Results: We had 31 filled surveys. The average age was 61,81 years-old and the female sex prevails. Almost the totality has Portuguese nationality and they live mainly in the metropolitan area of Lisbon. More than 50% is married and round about a fourth lives alone. The majority has finished the secondary education or has graduated and the most common occupations were administrative and technical and intermediate level jobs. More than the half claims to be catholic. The sources through which the potential donors collected information about the programs of body donations were the media/internet and a family member or friend. Contributing to the research and medical development was the most chosen reason for donating. At last, 86,2% replied that they had no family members who had been already donors in the past. Conclusions: This work enabled a reflection about the historical evolution of the body donation to science for investigation and teaching and, through a survey, profiling in a generic way the potential donor in the Lisbon area and determine which population is more motivated to body donations. The data collection could help directing the initiatives to promote the body donation and embrace a broader target audience.
