Métodos:  Estudo transversal. Os dados foram colhidos através de um questionário enviado a internos de medicina geral e familiar de todo o país por correio eletrónico e é referente a 2022. O questionário, previamente estruturado, contém três perguntas de resposta aberta, vinte e duas afirmações para serem classificadas de acordo com uma escala de Likert de cinco pontos e cinco questões de escolha múltipla sobre o género, faixa etária, ano de internato e se a desprescrição foi um tópico discutido e em que fase do percurso profissional.  Resultados:  Obtiveram-se 106 respostas válidas: 76,4% do sexo feminino, 70,8% entre os 25-30 anos e 34% de internos do 1.º ano. A maioria dos inquiridos concorda que a desprescrição traz grandes benefícios e as grandes barreiras passam pela literacia do doente, tempo de consulta e ferramentas e informação insuficiente para médicos e utentes.  Conclusão:  Os resultados obtidos sublinham a importância que a desprescrição tem para os internos e a necessidade de adoção de estratégias para aumentar a desprescrição e diminuir a polifarmacoterapia. Será importante aprofundar a temática para determinar como ter uma adesão mais fácil por parte do doente e criar diretrizes que auxiliem o médico a otimizar a desprescrição.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract  Aims:  This study aims to know the perception of the family medicine residents concerning their personal opinions and knowledge about deprescription.  Methods:  Cross-sectional study. The data was collected through a survey sent to interns of family medicine across the country by email. The survey contained three open questions, twenty-two statements to classify using a 5-point Likert scale, five multiple choice sociodemographic questions, and whether deprescription has been a subject discussed in their professional journey and at what stage.  Results:  One hundred and six valid answers were obtained: 76.4% were female, 70.8% were between 25 and 30 years old, and 34% were first-year family medicine residents. Most of the participants agree that deprescribing is beneficial and the barriers include health literacy, time per appointment, and the lack of information for doctors and patients.  Conclusion:  The results underline how important deprescribing is for the residents and the need to adopt strategies for its implementation. It is important to deepen the theme to determine how to have easier adherence from the patient and to create guidelines that help doctors optimize deprescribing.]]></p></abstract>
