Introdução: O Despacho n.º 9408/2014, de 21 de julho, define que os Técnicos de Medicina nuclear (TMN), Técnicos de Radiologia (TRL) e Técnicos de Radioterapia (TRT) apresentam aptidões para realizar e colaborar em auditorias, pesquisas de curto prazo orientadas para a auditoria e para publicar os resultados de auditoria, no entanto, não existem estudos nacionais que permitam avaliar a sua atividade nesta área;
Objetivo: Pretende-se com este trabalho caraterizar a quantidade de TMN, TRL e TRT em Portugal, que têm formação em auditorias e desempenham as funções previstas no Despacho n.º 9408/2014, de 21 de julho.
Métodos: Foi desenvolvido um questionário original no Google Forms com 22 questões, tendo por base a legislação vigente, boas práticas reconhecidas e artigos científicos de referência. O questionário foi disseminado em março de 2025, tendo sido solicitado a sua divulgação, aos associados das associações profissionais das áreas em estudo;
Resultados: Foram obtidas 122 respostas, em que uma média de 83% dos inquiridos, respondeu “Não” ao desempenho das quatro aptidões previstas no Despacho n.º 9408/2014, de 21 de julho; 62% dos inquiridos não referiram ter qualquer formação em auditorias; 45% indicaram não ter conhecimento da existência de um Programa de Auditorias no seu próprio serviço; Apenas 2% dos técnicos afirmaram que se realizaram três ou mais auditorias por ano no seu serviço; 74% dos profissionais revelaram que
desconheciam ou que não existiam TMN, TRL e TRT nas equipas de auditoria interna do seu serviço; cerca de 89% dos inquiridos, consideraram muito relevante ou relevante a realização de auditorias internas; 89% consideraram relevante ou muito relevante, os TMN, TRL e TRT pertencerem às equipas de auditores.
Conclusões: Esta investigação pioneira, cumpriu o seu objetivo principal de caracterizar o papel dos TMN, TRL e TRT nas auditorias em Portugal, revelando as fraquezas, ameaças e oportunidades de melhoria na prática das auditorias pelos TMN, TRL e TRT dos SIM. O papel dos TMN, TRT e TRL nas auditorias, aparenta não estar plenamente reconhecido, limitando a sua participação em funções mais operacionais, em vez de um envolvimento mais abrangente em todas as fases do processo de auditoria, nomeadamente na coordenação das auditorias. Esta falta de reconhecimento pode decorrer de perceções tradicionais sobre os papéis profissionais, de estruturas hierárquicas rígidas ou de falta de informação sobre as competências destes profissionais.
Introduction: Portugues legislation No. 9408/2014, of July 21, defines that Nuclear Medicine Technicians (TMN), Radiology Technicians (TRL) and Radiotherapy Technicians (TRT) have the skills to carry out and collaborate in audits, short-term audit-oriented research and to publish audit results, however, there are no national studies that allow the evaluation of their activity in this area; Objective: The aim of this work is to characterize the number of TMN, TRL and TRT in Portugal, who have training in auditing and perform the functions provided for in Order No. 9408/2014, of July 21; Methods: An original questionnaire with 22 questions was developed in Google Forms, based on current legislation, recognized good practices and reference scientific articles. The questionnaire was disseminated in March 2025, and its dissemination was requested to members of professional associations in the areas under study; Results: A total of 122 responses were obtained, in which an average of 83% of respondents answered “No” to the performance of the four skills provided for in legislation No. 9408/2014, of July 21; 62% of respondents did not have any training in auditing; 45% were not aware of the existence of an Audit Program in their own service; Only 2% of technicians stated that three or more audits were carried out per year in their service; 74% revealed that they were unaware of or that there were no TMN, TRL and TRT in the internal audit teams of their service; Around 89% of respondents considered it very relevant or relevant to carry out internal audits; 89% considered it relevant or very relevant for TMN, TRL and TRT to be part of the audit teams. Conclusions: This pioneering research achieved its primary objective of characterizing the role of TMN, TRL, and TRT in audits in Portugal, revealing the weaknesses, threats, and opportunities for improvement in the auditing practices of SIM TMN, TRL, and TRT. The role of TMN, TRT, and TRL in audits appears to be under-recognized, limiting their participation to more operational functions rather than a more comprehensive involvement in all phases of the audit process, particularly in audit coordination. This lack of recognition may stem from traditional perceptions of professional roles, rigid hierarchical structures, or a lack of information about these professionals' competencies.
