Objetivo deste estudo consiste em conhecer a Rede de Atenção Psicossocial aos usuários de álcool e drogas no município de Niterói. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de abordagem qualitativa. Realizou entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais que pertencem a rede. Para a definição dos participantes do estudo foram adotados os seguintes critérios de inclusão: profissionais da rede de atenção à saúde do município o que abrange: articuladores da rede no território, preceptores de PET, profissionais da atenção básica e atenção psicossocial. Critérios de exclusão: Profissionais que atuam nos dispositivos da atenção básica, porém que não atendem os usuários de drogas. Os dados foram sistematizados de acordo com a análise temática. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal Fluminense, parecer nº 862.452. Resultados: As categorias geradas no estudo foram: Organização da rede voltada para os usuários de drogas no município de Niteroi; Fatores facilitadores e dificultadores do acesso ao cuidado dos usuário de álcool e outras drogas no mesmo município. Quanto a organização e orientação das redes das redes constatou-se o seguinte: A rede formal de cuidados aos usuários de drogas no município de Niterói conta com os seguintes dispositivos: Centro de Atenção Psicossocial Álcool e Drogas- CAPS AD, Equipe de Redução de Danos, Equipe de Referência Infanto-Juvenil para álcool e drogas – ERIJAD, Serviço de álcool e drogas ( SAD) e o serviço de emergência (SRI) do Hospital Psiquiátrico de Jurujuba, atualmente denominado UTAP – Unidade de Transição de Atenção Psicossocial, unidade de acolhimento – UAI, ambulatórios de especialidades das policlínicas, o Programa Médico de Família (PMF), o Consultório na Rua e o hospital geral. No entanto, mesmo a rede sendo constituída por diferentes serviços, nos chama atenção a inexistência de um CAPS AD 24 horas, um serviço que os usuários possam chegar a qualquer momento e encontrar acolhida. Os fatores que foram mais identificados como sendo possíveis barreiras de acesso estão relacionados a: Falta de encaminhamento entre os serviços, ausência de conversa entre os diferentes pontos da rede de cuidado, precariedade da rede, rotatividade dos profissionais (o que dificulta o vínculo), pouca articulação entre as diferentes secretarias (o que dificulta o trabalho intersetorial), burocratização, o estigma, serviços com recepção fechada, pouca articulação com outros dispositivos de cuidado, inexistência de um CAPS 24h, falta de diálogo entre a gestão e os serviços, dificuldades no estabelecimento de parcerias com os setores da saúde, dificuldade de formação, principalmente dos profissionais da Atenção Básica para o cuidado aos usuários de drogas, vínculos frágeis e precários de trabalho, desafios cotidianos atuar de fato no território, na vida da cidade, uma visão tradicional das família sobre o melhor cuidado envolver a abstinência, reclusão. Conclusão: Há uma implicação de todos trabalhadores em prestar um cuidado integral. Reconhecem que apesar da precariedade, existe cuidado e que este pode se proporcionado pelo empenho dos profissionais. / The present study has the public health network in mental health as object in Niteroi city, for the attention of drug user in order to facilitate the access to the health services and the integral assistance in healthcare. General Objective: knowing the Psychosocial Attention, the usual ways of acting, and the ways arrange in Niteroi: a city in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by the the professional. Method: There is a describe study with qualitive approach. Were done semi structured interviews with professionals that belong to the network Attention Care in Niteroi city. The research participants were the psychosocial networks professionals. There were adopted the following inclusion criterias: Professionals whose belong to the public healthcare network (network articulators who act in the territory, professionals who work in the comunity and psychosocial attendance. The exclusion criterias were: professionals who work in the basic attendance but, don't provide assistance to the drug users. The dates were colected bysemistrutural interviews. These dates were synthesized according to the tematicanalyse. This research was approved by the Ethic Committe in Research from the Universidade Federal Fluminense whose report is: number 862.452.

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a sobrevida de 10 anos e fatores prognósticos em mulheres com diagnóstico de câncer de mama entre 2000 e 2001, assistidas em centro de referência em assistência oncológica da região Sudeste do país. A coorte foi identificada a partir de busca no Registro Hospitalar de Câncer do serviço de saúde incluído no estudo. O seguimento dos casos foi realizado mediante retorno aos prontuários, complementado por busca no banco do Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade (SIM) e contato telefônico. As principais variáveis analisadas foram: natureza do serviço, idade ao diagnóstico, cor da pele, tamanho do tumor, comprometimento de linfonodos, estadiamento, marcadores tumorais, hormonioterapia e radioterapia, entre outras. As funções de sobrevida foram calculadas por meio do método de Kaplan-Meier. O modelo de riscos proporcionais de Cox foi utilizado para avaliação dos fatores prognósticos. Os resultados deste estudo indicam que a sobrevida de dez anos foi de 61,2% (IC95%: 55,0-66,8). Os fatores prognósticos mais importantes que estiveram associados a pior sobrevida, de forma independente, foram: presença de metástase ganglionar (HR=2,64; IC95%: 1,73-4,02), tumores maiores que dois centímetros (HR=1,88; IC95%: 1,15-3,09) e não uso de hormonioterapia (HR=1,53; IC95%: 1,01-2,30). Na análise multivariada estratificada por natureza do serviço de saúde, a presença de metástase ganglionar (HR=2,36; IC95%: 1,42-3,90), tumores com mais de dois centímetros (HR=1,76; IC95%: 0,95-3,25) e utilização de radioterapia (HR=0,67; IC95%: 0,42-1,09) foram os principais fatores prognósticos para pior sobrevida entre as pacientes assistidas pelo serviço público. Já para o serviço privado, estadiamentos mais avançados e ausência de marcadores tumorais associaram-se aos melhores prognósticos (HR=2,82; IC95%: 1,24-6,42). No Brasil, ainda existem poucas publicações a respeito de análise de sobrevida em pacientes com câncer de mama com seguimento de dez anos. Este trabalho foi importante para fornecer informações sobre o seguimento de longo prazo do centro de referência oncológica avaliado e para caracterizar o perfil das pacientes diagnosticadas com câncer de mama no município e regiões adjacentes. Os resultados deste estudo fortalecem a importância do diagnóstico precoce através do rastreamento por meio do exame clínico das mamas e de mamografia, e da disponibilidade do exame imuno-histoquímico para todas as pacientes, independente da natureza do serviço, para orientar a abordagem terapêutica. Estas informações são extremamente úteis para os gestores de saúde adotarem medidas voltadas para a prevenção e controle da doença, assim como para avaliações da qualidade do cuidado prestado e acessibilidade ao sistema de saúde; além de viabilizar avaliações dos avanços diagnósticos e terapêuticos empregados pelo centro de atenção oncológica. / Breast cancer is a major public health problem in many parts of the world, since it has high incidence is considered one of the leading causes of cancer death among women in many countries. This study aimed to evaluate the survival of 10 years and prognostic factors in women diagnosed with breast cancer between 2000 and 2001, assisted at a referral center for cancer care in the Southeast region of the country. Recruitment of cases was made from the search in the Hospital Cancer Registry of the health service included in the study. The follow-up of cases was achieved by returning to the medical records, supplemented by searching the database of the Mortality Information System (MIS) and telephone contact. The main variables analyzed were: type of service, age at diagnosis, race, tumor size, lymph node involvement, staging, tumor markers, hormone therapy and radiotherapy, among others. Survival functions were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The model of Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate prognostic factors.The results of this study indicate that the ten-year survival was 61.2% (95% CI= 55.0 to 66.8). The most important prognostic factors that were associated with worse survival, independently, were: presence of lymph node metastasis (HR = 2.64, 95% CI= 1.73 to 4.02), larger than two centimeters (HR = 1 tumors , 88, 95% CI= 1.15 to 3.09) and no use of hormone therapy (HR = 1.53, 95% CI= 1.01 to 2.30). In multivariate analysis stratified by type of health service, the presence of lymph node metastasis (HR = 2.36, 95% CI= 1.42 to 3.90), tumors larger than two centimeters (HR = 1.76, 95% CI= 0.95 to 3.25) and use of radiotherapy (HR = 0.67, 95% CI= 0.42 to 1.09) were the main prognostic factors for poor survival among patients attended by the public service. As for the private service, more advanced staging and absence of tumor markers were associated with the best prognosis (HR = 2.82, 95% CI= 1.24 to 6.42). In Brazil, there are few publications about survival analysis in patients with breast cancer followed up for ten years. This work was important to provide information on the outcome of long-term oncology referral center assessed and to characterize the profile of patients diagnosed with breast cancer in the city and surrounding regions. The results of this study reinforce the importance of early diagnosis through screening by clinical breast examination and mammography, and availability of immunohistochemical examination for all patients, regardless of the nature of the service, to guide the therapeutic approach. This information is extremely useful for health managers adopt measures aimed at the prevention and control of disease, as well as evaluations of the quality of care delivery and accessibility to health care, as well as providing reviews of diagnostic and therapeutic advances employed by the center cancer care.

Managed care became the dominant model for moderating healthcare costs in the 1990's. The later half of this past decade witnessed early signs of a return to escalating premiums. Providers and consumers have reacted negatively to perceptions of health plan micro-management and restriction of choice.

Innovative primary care models that deliver comprehensive primary care to address medical and social needs are an established means of improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs among persons living with chronic disease. Care management is one such approach that requires providers to monitor their respective patient panels and intervene on patients requiring care. Health information technology (IT) has been established as a critical component of care management and similar care models. While there exist a plethora of health IT systems for facilitating primary care, there is limited research on their ability to support care management and its emphasis on monitoring panels of patients with complex needs. In this dissertation, I advance the understanding of how computational methods can better support clinicians delivering care management, and use the management of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) as an example scenario of use. The research described herein is segmented into 3 aims; the first was to understand the processes and barriers associated with care management and assess whether existing IT can support clinicians in this domain. The second and third aim focused on informing potential solutions to the technological shortcomings identified in the first aim. In the studies of the first aim, I conducted interviews and observations in two HIV primary care programs and analyzed the data generated to create a conceptual framework of population monitoring and identify challenges faced by clinicians in delivering care management. In the studies of the second aim, I used computational methods to advance the science of extracting from the patient record social and behavioral determinants of health (SBDH), which are not easily accessible to clinicians and represent an important barrier to care management. In the third aim, I conducted a controlled experimental evaluation to assess whether data visualization can improve clinician’s ability to maintain awareness of their patient panels.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / BACKGROUND: The pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus and the need for vigilant monitoring of serum glucose levels lends itself well to prompt medical intervention by healthcare providers that can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality and improve patient quality of life. The effect of intervention in diabetes can be assessed by following objective laboratory measurements such as hemoglobin A1C, which is abnormal with poorly controlled diabetes and returns to normal with proper management. There are mobile technologies now available that allow for self-monitoring and intervention in this patient population. Using a systematic approach this paper will assess the benefits of Short Message Services and mobile technology in managing patients with diabetes and improving adherence and other outcomes. OBJECTIVE: To assess the benefits and disadvantages the use of mobile technology could have in the management of diabetes. METHODOLOGY: A systematic review of articles on this topic was performed. A total of 759 articles were initially identified by searching various search engines, from which only 39 articles met all of the inclusion/exclusion criteria of this systematic review. FINDINGS: The initial review of literature indicated that the use of mobile technology in patients with diabetes resulted in improved disease outcomes as indicated by parameters such as a decrease in hemoglobin A1C, and an increase in sustainable blood glucose levels. CONCLUSION: Mobile technology is found to be a promising tool in the management of diabetes, but further research is needed because there is a lack of reliable studies, trials, and systematic reviews. Physicians and other healthcare professionals are rapidly adopting mobile technology for use in clinical practice because they understand the rising phenomenon of mobile technology.

The purposes of this qualitative descriptive study were to describe the perceptions of rural, older Appalachian women who live alone regarding systems of informal and formal care and to understand if traditional cultural norms influence attitudes and decisions to access these two systems. Older Appalachian women in this study defined themselves and their health in terms of their homes and as women who care for themselves informally and value independence and privacy. Five major themes emerged from the data for informal care, and three related to formal care or use of it. The findings support a reconceptualization of informal and formal care and point out reasons why these women chose to use or not use these two systems of care. Furthermore, they reveal how changes in the formal care system could support health promotion and prevention strategies grounded in everyday ways of maintaining health within the context of home.

Donor country initiatives for the prevention and mitigation of HIV/AIDS are not a matter of simple burden sharing. Instead, they have brought in their wake many of the complexities and unforeseen effects that have long been associated with more general overseas development assistance. In the case of funding directed toward HIV/AIDS, these effects are by no means either secondary or easily calculable. It is widely acknowledged that there is no consensus framework on how these impacts may be defined, no framework/toolkit for the evaluation of impacts and no longitudinally significant data that could provide the substance for those evaluations. The subject of this study focuses not on the health outcomes of funding but on how donor-recipient relations could be better deliberated, negotiated and coordinated. We argue that effective leadership and governance of developing country health systems for HIV/AIDS work requires a reconfiguration of how donor-recipient relations are conceived and contracted, and for this purpose, we propose an adaptation of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Paris Declaration principles of aid effectiveness.

Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this thesis is to determine the perceptions and expectations of employees at regional offices about the service delivered to them by central head office. A further objective is to establish what employees at regional offices expect from head office, attempting thereby to establish the current position of the head office (perceived image) in relation to their expectations (ideal image). The method of data collection is quantitative with a survey design technique in the form of questionnaires to be completed by all employees at regional offices in order to assess their perceptions and expectations. The basis of the theoretical and legislative framework of this research is service delivery. It is within the context of service delivery that internal customer service within the organisation, in particular, is conferred. The legislative framework is also dedicated to Batho Pele and the eight principles to highlight public service delivery. These principles should equally be applied when it comes to internal customer service. The main findings from this study are that employees and the four regional offices per se have different perceptions and expectations about the internal service delivered by central head office. This must be taken cognisance of because perceptions can be the core element of most organisational behaviour and the expectations that employees hold is important for the morale and effectiveness of organisations. The following objectives were achieved: A review of the policies, documents and annual reports to determine to what extent the central head office delivers an internal service to the regional offices. An evaluation as to how internal service delivery is being perceived. An evaluation of the ideal central head office. Established the shortcomings of the current internal service being delivered. It is also recommended that future research can be to ascertain how those negative feelings impacts on job satisfaction and commitment to the organisation and how it affects employee turnover. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie tesis is om die persepsies en verwagtinge van werknemers by die streekkantore, oor die diens wat aan hulle verskaf deur sentrale hoofkantoor, te bepaal. 'n Verdere doel is om vas te stel wat werknemers by die streekkantore verwag van hoofkantoor. Sodoende probeer om vas te stel wat die huidige stand van die hoofkantoor (waargenome beeld) in verhouding tot hul (werknemers) verwagtinge (ideaal beeld) is. Die metode van data-insameling is kwantitatief met 'n opname ontwerp in die vorm van vraelyste. Hierdie vraelyste sal deur alle werknemers by die streekkantore voltooi word, om hul persepsies en verwagtinge te assesseer. Die basis van die teoretiese en die wetgewende raamwerk van hierdie navorsing is dienslewering. Dit is binne die konteks van dienslewering wat interne kliënte diens binne die organisasie, in die besonder, toegeken word. Die wetgewende raamwerk is ook toegewyd aan die agt beginsels van Batho Pele en dus openbare dienslewering te versterk. Hierdie beginsels moet ook toegepas word wanneer dit kom by die interne kliënte diens. Die belangrikste bevindings van hierdie studie is dat die werknemers en die vier streekkantore as sulks het verskillende persepsies en verwagtinge oor die interne diens gelewer deur die sentrale hoofkantoor. Dit moet kennis geneem word want persepsies kan die kern element van meeste organisatoriese gedrag wees en die verwagtinge wat werknemers hou is belangrik vir die moraal en doeltreffendheid van organisasies. Die volgende doelwitte was bereik: „n Hersiening van die beleid, dokumente en die jaarlikse verslae om te bepaal tot watter mate die sentrale hoofkantoor „n interne diens aan die streekkantore lewer. „n Evaluering oor hoe interne dienslewering waargeneem word. „n Evaluering van die ideale sentrale hoofkantoor. Die tekortkominge van die huidige interne diens wat gelewer word is vasgestel. Dit word aanbeveel dat toekomstige navorsing toegewy word om vas te stel hoe negatiewe gevoelens impak op werkstevredenheid en verbintenis tot die organisasie en ook hoe dit werknemer omset beïnvloed.
