El objetivo del presente trabajo es evaluar el nivel de información sobre VIH/sida, que tienen los estudiantes del cuarto año de la carrera de Medicina de la Universidad de Gambia. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio observacional-descriptivo de corte transversal, durante el año 2020, a partir de la colaboración entre profesionales de la salud de la Universidad de Gambia y cubanos del mismo sector que prestan sus servicios en esa nación. El universo y muestra los conformaron los 44 estudiantes del año mencionado. Resultados. Los encuestados poseen una información inadecuada acerca del tema; con mayor dificultad los estudiantes del sexo masculino; un alto por ciento reconoce la vía sexual como la principal en la transmisión del VIH/sida y el uso regular y adecuado del preservativo como medio de protección contra el virus; pero no dominan las condiciones de sexo seguro. El servicio de consejería es la principal orientación ante una relación sexual dudosa; en tanto que, el medio primordial de adquisición de los conocimientos fue la escuela. Discusión. Se constató la correspondencia de los resultados actuales con los de investigaciones de diferentes partes del mundo, en las cuales destaca el factor de la masculinidad y lo cultural como determinantes en el conocimiento y percepción del riesgo en los individuos. Se reconoce además el papel del personal de salud para la prevención y educación de la población./Introduction.

The role of health personnel for prevention and education of the population is also recognized.

Purpose: To describe a pharmacist's counseling service pertaining to methods of contraception on the postpartum unit of a university hospital and to evaluate the number of postpartum patients who ...desire information on contraception with the demographics of age, public or private insurance, and whether the patient was English or Spanish-speaking.
Methods: Retrospective cohort data analysis of postpartum women who received the option of counseling by a pharmacist or pharmacy intern at a university hospital over a year and 7 month period. There were 2,048 cases included for this study. The total number of patients who wanted information as well as pharmacist preparation time and counseling time were also noted.

Also, patients who wanted an implantable form of contraception were 8 times more likely to desire information compared with patients who declined counseling (p<0.05). Patients in the age range of 18-25, 26-30, and 31-45 years were less likely (56%, 64%, & 65%) to want counseling compared with the age range of 12-17 years (all p<0.05). Lastly, patients who spoke Spanish were 3 times more likely to have been counseled compared with non-Spanish speaking patients. The number of postpartum patients counseled on different contraception methods was 1,546 versus 699 patients who declined counseling. Total pharmacist preparation time totaled 160.95 hours, while total patient counseling time totaled 204.55 hours.
Conclusion: Overall, postpartum women who chose to be counseled by a pharmacist were considering either a hormonal or implantable method of contraception, were younger than the age of 17 and were Spanish speaking. The average amount of pharmacist preparation time spent was 4.3 minutes per patient and actual counseling time on average was 5.5 minutes per patient.

Overall findings indicated that the workload of school counselors was affected by the level of homesickness and risky behavior exhibited by the students. Furthermore, being a school counselor in district boarding schools was described as a process of performing counseling services (despite occasional experiences of occupational role conflicts), of not being able to receive sufficient parent support, and of experiencing the critical significance of cooperation with teachers and school administration.
