Thesis (MA (Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006. / In order to make mental health care more accessible and even out the skewed distribution of services, policies were put in place to integrate mental health services into primary health care. For this to be effective, more trained mental health personnel needed to be employed in the public sphere as well as non-governmental and community organizations; and in state services. The BPsych degree which was instituted to meet this need has however, been plagued with controversy since its inception. This study aims to determine the employment patterns of BPsych graduates in the Western Cape so as to ascertain whether the expressed goals for establishing the degree, that is, addressing the need for primary mental health care workers, is in fact being met. Combinations of quantitative and qualitative methods were employed in this study. A self-constructed questionnaire was used for obtaining data. Quantitative data was analysed using SPSS and qualitative data was analysed by means of thematic content analysis. The quantitative data suggest that most of the respondents are employed and have completed the board exam. The majority of respondents are female and are employed within either community or NGO settings, or the private sector. Just over one third of respondents are employed as counsellors. A qualitative analysis of the data has suggested that the majority of employers are unaware of the category of registered counsellor. Respondents placed a large emphasis on the value of the practical component of the course. Based on the results obtained, one could argue that access to mental health care has not been significantly improved by the implementation of this category of registration.

Em 2010, foram criados seis Colegiados de Gestão, compostos por cinco Unidades Básicas de Saúde cada. Foram constituídos também três Núcleos Técnicos, compostos por profissionais do nível central designados para apoiar a gestão das Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Nesse novo formato, houve uma revisão do papel dos apoiadores técnicos e a implementação de reuniões com coordenadores das Unidades Básicas de Saúde. A adesão dos técnicos da Diretoria de Área da Educação em Saúde a este modelo organizacional não ocorreu de modo homogêneo em todos os Colegiados. Nos Colegiados Leste e Centro Sul, as diferentes estratégias de trabalho foram discutidas em reuniões periódicas orientadas pelos princípios da Política Nacional de Educação Permanente em Saúde. Assumiu-se a premissa de que o desenvolvimento técnico-científico e ético dos coordenadores das Unidades Básicas de Saúde favoreceria o fortalecimento da Política Nacional de Atenção Básica. O objetivo geral dessa investigação de caráter qualitativo foi analisar essas reuniões, ocorridas de junho de 2010 a dezembro de 2012, como espaços de discussão de práticas relativas à qualificação da gestão e seus possíveis desdobramentos em relação aos coordenadores das Unidades Básicas de Saúde. As informações foram obtidas a partir da leitura das Atas das reuniões, dos relatos da autora que atuou como uma das apoiadoras dos referidos colegiados, complementadas por entrevistas semiestruturadas com os coordenadores das Unidades Básicas de Saúde e com os diretores da Diretoria de Área da Assistência e Educação em Saúde, que atuaram de 1998 a 2012. A análise das informações levou em conta os pressupostos da Educação Permanente, baseou-se no referencial teórico-metodológico da Análise Institucional, sobretudo os conceitos de instituição, implicação e analisador. Os resultados da investigação apontaram que nestes Colegiados de Gestão Leste e Centro Sul houve um expressivo avanço na construção coletiva de conhecimentos e ações voltadas ao enfrentamento dos problemas do cotidiano do trabalho, resultando numa maior aproximação entre a gestão e a assistência. Evidenciou-se também um aumento do vínculo entre os próprios coordenadores e entre estes e os apoiadores, construindo uma nova intersubjetividade. Esta investigação pretende contribuir para a institucionalização e difusão dessa estratégia de caráter inovador e estimular movimentos semelhantes em outros equipamentos das Secretarias Municipais de Saúde, buscando sempre o aprimoramento do Sistema Único de Saúde / Abstract: The Municipal Health Department of Sorocaba, SP, Brazil, through its Division for Health Treatment and Education, is responsible for managing the model of treatment dispensed at basic health units. In effect, the department has adopted different working strategies for strengthening primary health care in the municipality. In 2010, six management teams were set up, each one responsible for five basic health units. Three technical groups were also implemented, comprised of middle-level professionals assigned to back up the management of basic health units. With this new format the role of technical backers was revised and meetings were held with coordinators of basic health units. Acceptance of this model by technicians in the Division for Health Treatment and Education was far from homogeneous among the teams. In the eastern and south-central teams the different working strategies were discussed at periodic meetings, based on the principles found in the Brazilian National Policy for Continuing Education in Health. The premise was accepted that the technical, scientific and ethical training of the coordinators of basic health units favored the strengthening of the National Primary Care Policy. The overall objective of this qualitative investigation was to analyze these meetings, which were held between June 2010 and December 2012, as spaces for discussing practices related to training in management and the possible results for coordinators of basic health units. The information was obtained from the minutes of these meetings and from reports by the author, who served as one of the backers of the above-mentioned teams. The information was completed with semi-structured interviews with coordinators of basic health units and with persons who had served as supervisors of the Division for Health Treatment and Education between 1998 and 2012. The analysis of the information took into account the premises of continuing education and the theoretical and methodological framework of institutional analysis, especially the concepts of institution, implication, and analyzer. Research results showed that there was a significant advance in the collective construction of knowledge and actions in the eastern and south-central teams, aimed at addressing everyday problems of work. This resulted in a closer relationship between management and treatment. Closer ties also resulted among the members themselves and between them and the backers, which led to new intersubjectivity. This study is intended as a contribution to the institutionalization and dissemination of this innovative strategy. The authors also hope that it will encourage similar movements in other areas of municipal health departments in the improvement of the Brazilian Federal Health System / Mestrado / Ciências Sociais em Saúde / Mestra em Saúde Coletiva

This research study investigated the impact of staff education levels in ensuring implementation of effective health programmes: A comparative study of NPOs in City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. The literature that was consulted explains the current level of education, worldwide and South Africa, challenges and reasons for lack of critical skills among health professionals and social workers. An exploratory approach was used in the study; by conducting a case study on two selected Non Profit Orgaisations (NPOs) namely, Hope for Life and Bophelong Life Community Hospice, both receiving funding from the Department of Health and Social Development and from the National Lotteries Distribution Trust (NLDTF) through the National Lotteries Board (NLB). Three methods of data collection were used to triangulate data, i.e. questionnaires, interviews and documentation reviews. Data was collected from staff members, NPO management and documentation from NPOs and Grant Funding System of the NLB. At the end of the study and using acquired information, a number of recommendations are made for the effective implementation of programmes for both NPOs and funding organisations such as NLB.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Augusto Sanches Viodres.pdf: 940983 bytes, checksum: 7e48e8a9ed9a1bd29fb3f172c49b9be5 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-09-20 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / From the perspective of health care training in the context of the brazilian Unified Health System and the wide range of actions in this field, the researcher takes the perspective of the experience of the subject who is ethically, politically and clinically trained through his own encounter with the health service and the work. On this encounter, health practices and practices of subjectivation are produced at once, that is, new health care approaches, new ways to produce sense, to relating to oneself and others. In order to analyze and reflect on these elements, i closely followed, as a worker-researcher, an integration action between a teaching institution and a health service: a medical school partnership with a Basic Health Unit that annually receives students as interns, accompanying some of the daily actions of the work in public and collective health. Two paths were followed: the construction of a field diary describing and analyzing this experience, in which I aimed to contextualize the ways in which Unified Health System training experiences are constructed; and the conduction of two interviews on the training itineraries of professionals involved in this practice of teaching-service integration, with the intention of illustrating and discussing the process of health care training as a field of meetings and production of subjectivity / A partir da perspectiva de formação no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a ampla gama de ações neste sentido, toma-se como norte nesta pesquisa a experiência do sujeito que se forma – eticamente, politicamente, clinicamente – por meio de seu próprio encontro com o serviço de saúde e com o trabalho em saúde. Neste encontro se produzem ao mesmo tempo práticas de saúde e práticas de subjetivação, isto é, novas maneiras de cuidar em saúde e novas maneiras de atribuir sentido, experimentar, se relacionar consigo mesmo e com os outros. Para analisar e refletir sobre esses elementos, acompanhei de perto, enquanto trabalhador-pesquisador, uma ação de integração entre instituição de ensino e serviço de saúde: parceria de uma faculdade de medicina com uma Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) que recebe anualmente estudantes em estágio, acompanhando algumas das ações cotidianas do trabalho na saúde pública e coletiva. Disso seguiram dois caminhos: a construção de um diário de campo que descreve e analisa essa experiência, em que objetivei contextualizar os modos pelos quais se constroem experiências de formação em serviço no SUS; a realização de duas entrevistas narrativas sobre itinerários de formação de profissionais envolvidos nessa prática de integração ensino-serviço, com a intenção de apresentar e discutir alguns elementos do processo de formação em saúde enquanto campo de encontros e produção de subjetividade
