This thesis investigated the health needs of economically disadvantaged mothers and children living in Grant County to determine if they were being met by the existing community health resources. The thesis had three main purposes: (1) to identify the health needs of economically disadvantaged mothers and children living in Grant County; (2) to assess the resources in Grant County which provide health instruction and, health services to mothers and children; and (3) to analyze the present health needs as they relate to resources available to economically disadvantaged mothers and children.Inquiry as to health needs of the mothers and children in the group was focused and limited to health care and instruction for expectant mothers during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. tkbr the children, the need for regular health appraisals for early detection of defects was considered. The limitations of inquiry were designed. specifically to determine the need for initiating and implementing well child clinics, prenatal and postpartum clinics, and family planning clinics in Grant County for the economically disadvantaged mothers and children.Ball State UniversityMuncie, IN 47306

Our ultimate goal as obstetric and neonatal care providers is to improve care for mothers and their babies. Continuous quality improvement (CQI) involves iterative cycles of practice change and audit of ongoing clinical care identifying practices that are associated with good outcomes. A vital prerequisite to this evidence based medicine is data collection. In Canada, much of the country is covered by separate fragmented silos known as regional reproductive care databases or perinatal health programs. A more centralized system which includes collaborative efforts is required. Moving in this direction would serve many purposes: efficiency, economy in the setting of limited resources and shrinking budgets and lastly, interaction among data collection agencies. This interaction may facilitate translation and transfer of knowledge to care-givers and patients. There are however many barriers towards such collaborative efforts including privacy, ownership and the standardization of both digital technologies and semantics. After thoroughly examining the current existing perinatal data collection among Perinatal Health Programs (PHPs), and the Canadian Perinatal Network (CPN) database, it was evident that there is little standardization of definitions. This serves as one of the most important barriers towards data sharing. To communicate effectively and share data, researchers and clinicians alike must construct a common perinatal language. Communicative tools and programs such as SNOMED CT® offer a potential solution, but still require much work due to their infancy. A standardized perinatal language would not only lay the definitional foundation in women’s health and obstetrics but also serve as a major contribution towards a universal electronic health record.

The study was designed to identify current levels of corporate health promotion and nutrition activities and to highlight the need for continued health promotion activities, in particular nutrition education, throughout corporate America.Five hundred surveys were mailed to the Fortune 500 companies throughout the United States. One hundred and twenty-one were completed, yielding a 24% sample for analysis.The wellness/health promotion activities reported to be a part of corporate wellness programs included exercise, nutrition education, CPR training, stress management and intramural sports. It appeared that size of the corporation influenced the nutrition promotion provided at the worksite. There appeared to be no difference between CEO support or lack of support to the wellness/health promotion program and the variety of health promotion activities. It was apparent that having a nutrition consultant resulted in greater and more varied nutrition health promotion activities at the worksite, and that in the future, America's Fortune 500 companies will need to hire a nutrition professional to disseminate nutrition and health promotion information at the worksite. / Institute for Wellness

Trata-se de um estudo que teve como objeto as incapacidades definitivas para o serviço na Marinha do Brasil com o seguinte problema de pesquisa: quais as causas das incapacidades definitivas para o serviço na Marinha do Brasil, no 1 Distrito, nos períodos de cinco e dez anos de vigência do Programa de Atenção às Doenças Profissionais (PADP)? Considerando o interesse na temática e a especificidade do objeto de estudo selecionou-se como objetivo geral: discutir as incapacidades definitivas para o serviço na Marinha do Brasil, no período de cinco e dez anos após a implantação do PADP no 1 Distrito. E, como objetivos específicos: analisar o perfil dos militares considerados incapacitados para o serviço, na área do 1 Distrito da Marinha do Brasil, no ano de 2005 e no ano de 2010; identificar as incapacidades definitivas para o serviço na Marinha do Brasil no ano de 2005 e 2010 ocorridas no 1 Distrito e; propor adequações ao PADP baseadas no resultado deste estudo. Baseou-se no modelo de pesquisa não experimental, retrospectivo e documental. Foi utilizada como técnica de trabalho a abordagem quantitativa e descritiva, através de um estudo documental dos registros de incapacidades definitivas para o serviço ocorridas no 1 Distrito da Marinha do Brasil no ano de 2005 e no ano de 2010, respectivamente 05 e 10 anos após a implantação do PADP. O local do estudo foi o Centro de Perícias Médicas da Marinha (CPMM), estrutura organizacional central do Subsistema Médico Pericial, situado no Complexo do Hospital Central da Marinha. Os dados foram coletados durante os meses de julho e agosto do ano de 2011, no Sistema Informatizado Naval de Inspeções de Saúde (SINAIS), não sendo realizado qualquer contato com os militares considerados incapacitados para o serviço, que fizeram parte deste estudo. Utilizou-se um formulário fechado para o registro dos dados que posteriormente foram digitalizados e computados por meio de análise percentual, utilizando-se o programa Microsoft Excel 2007. Posteriormente, foram demonstrados em tabelas e gráficos, sendo discutidos à luz do referencial teórico da Saúde do Trabalhador e sustentado por bases conceituais. Para melhor apresentação dos dados, estes foram organizados a partir dos seguintes temas: perfil dos militares considerados incapacitados para o serviço na Marinha do Brasil, as principais incapacidades e suas correlações com o trabalho e, propostas ao Programa de Atenção às Doenças Profissionais da Marinha. O estudo viabilizou sugestões de melhorias na aplicação do PADP, visando à redução do número de casos de incapacidades para o serviço na Marinha do Brasil. / The main goal of this dissertation is to study the permanent disability for service in the Brazilian Navy, with the following research problem: what are the causes of permanent disability for active service in the Brazilian Navy, 1st District, 5 and 10 years after the implementation of the Occupational Diseases Attention Program? Considering the interest on the theme and the specificity of the object of study, the main goal is: to discuss the permanent disabilities for service on the Navy of Brazil, five and ten years after the implementation of the Health Program in the 1st the District, with the following objectives: to analize the profile of the military considered disabled for service, on the Brazilian navy, 1st district on the years of 2005 and 2010; identify the permanent disabilities for active service in the Brazilian Navy in 2005 and 2010 occurred in the 1st District, to propose adjustments to the program based on the results of this study. It was based in a documental and non-experimental research model. The technique used was the quantitative and descriptive approach, developed through the documental study of the incapacity for service registers, on the Brazilian Navy, 1st District in the years of 2005 and 2010. The study site was the center of the Centro de Perícias Médicas da Marinha (CPMM), main organizational structure of Medical Pericial Subsystem, located in the Central Hospital of the Navy. Data were collected during the months of July and August of 2011, the Naval Computerized Health Inspection (SINAIS), not being made any contact with the military considered unfit for service. We used a closed form for recording the data that were later digitized and computed in order to analyze percentage of causes, using the Microsoft Excel 2007. Then they were shown in tables and graphs, and discussed under the light of the theoretical background of Occupational Health and supported by a conceptual basis. For better presentation of data, these were organized based on the following topics: Profile of the military considered disabled for the service on the Brazilian Navy, the main disabilities and their correlation with the work and, proposals to the Program for the Navy Occupational Diseases. The study enabled the detection of possible points of action of PADP and feasible suggestions for improvements in the implementation of this program, aimed to reducing the number of cases of disability for the service on the Brazilian Navy.

Estas condições referem-se ao cabedal de conhecimentos de que dispõem os professores, como fruto dos cursos de graduação, os conteúdos de aprendizagem tratados em sala de aula, as questões polêmicas que mais frequentemente surgem durante o ensino do tema e as atitudes adotadas pelos docentes no enfrentamento destas questões, como o objetivo de conhecer as repercussões de todo esse contexto no preparo dos estudantes para atuarem socialmente, dentro de um sentido de cidadania plena. Integra o trabalho um conjunto de conteúdos de aprendizagem, que embora destinado aos professores de biologia, não descura da interdisciplinaridade, visando a um processo de ensino/aprendizagem em sentido amplo e com repercussões positivas na vertente social / Abstract: This research presents the conditions in which the dissemination of knowledge concerning the prevention of improper use of psychoactive substances is developed in twenty-seven public schools in the city of Bauru, in the field of biology and health programs teaching. Such conditions are related to the fund of knowledge the teachers have, as a result of undergraduate courses, learning contents dealt with in the classroom, polemical issues which arise most frequently during the subject teaching and the attitudes adopted by the teachers to face these issues. Our purpose is to know the repercussions of this context in the formation of the students to act in society, in a sense of full citizenship. It is part of the research a set of learning contents that even though is intended for biology teachers does not neglect interdisciplinarity, aiming at a process of teaching/learning in a broad sense and with positive repercussions in the social bias / Mestre

No. of bitstreams: 1 1111.pdf: 400028 bytes, checksum: baf062bcdea4cfa2a21165a78335c7e4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009 / Este trabalho teve como objetivo aferir a avaliabilidade do Programa Nacional de Monitoramento da Qualidade Sanitária de Alimentos (PNMQSA), coordenado pela Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária (Anvisa). Tomou-se como caso o Programa desenvolvido pela Superintendência de Vigilância Sanitária do Estado de Minas Gerais em parceria com a Fundação Ezequiel Dias (FUNED), no período de 2000 a 2008. Optou-se por um estudo de avaliabilidade, visto que esse Programa ainda não tinha sido submetido a nenhum tipo de avaliação. Este estudo possibilitou ainda delimitar melhor os objetivos, desenvolver um modelo lógico do Programa e identificar as áreas-problema para uma futura avaliação. Para facilitar a préavaliação, foi elaborada uma matriz de análise com o propósito de possibilitar a melhor condução do trabalho de campo e da análise dos dados. Foram realizadas entrevistas com roteiro semi-estruturado, compatibilizadas com a análise documental. Os resultados indicaram que o PNMQSA se encontra implementado no Estado, apesar da necessidade de melhorias na qualidade higiênico-sanitária dos alimentos, devendo haver maior preocupação por parte de todos os envolvidos com os produtos que oferecem maiores riscos à saúde da população. O monitoramento encontra-se desenvolvido neste Estado, embora tenham sido apontadas dificuldades. A continuidade desse Programa é de grande importância, devido à sua significante contribuição para o controle sanitário dos alimentos comercializados em âmbito nacional. O resultado da pesquisa revela os aspectos principais do PNMQSA que requerem avaliação: os objetivos, a divulgação das informações à população sobre os produtos monitorados e a efetividade das medidas adotadas pelos órgãos de vigilância sanitária nos níveis, federal, estadual e municipal em relação às irregularidades encontradas. Com base neste estudo, recomenda-se uma avaliação do PNMQSA, haja vista a sua complexidade. / Salvador
