Com a diminuição da doença cárie na população jovem e com a necessidade de um atendimento universal e equânime da população, os serviços de saúde devem buscar atingir todas as faixas etárias e não apenas os grupos em idade escolar como vinha sendo feito por inúmeras equipes de saúde bucal em vários estados do Brasil. Nesta forma, buscou-se analisar e discutir as políticas públicas implantadas na área odontológica, em relação à população idosa, nos municípios da região da Direção Regional de Saúde XV (DIR ¿ XV/Piracicaba/SP) no estado de São Paulo. Foi elaborado um questionário com perguntas de planejamento, atenção e assistência em saúde e processo de trabalho envolvendo a população com mais de 60 anos de idade, encaminhado às Coordenadorias de Saúde Bucal das Secretarias Municipais dos 20 municípios que compõem a DIR, sendo que 19 responderam ao questionário. Os dados foram analisados de forma descritiva e os resultados apresentados através de tabelas. Ficou demonstrado que 68% dos municípios ainda tem a atenção à saúde bucal voltada a escolares e pré ¿ escolares, 31% dos municípios utilizam critérios epidemiológicos para planejamento de suas ações, sendo que apenas 26% fazem uso deste recurso para o planejamento das ações para a população entre 65 e 74 anos e 89,47% dos municípios utilizam a UBS como local para desenvolvimento de ações para a população idosa. Concluiu-se que apesar de evidências epidemiológicas apontarem para o envelhecimento da população, ainda é necessário a adequação dos serviços à esta nova realidade com a reorganização do processo de trabalho dentro das diretrizes dos municípios que compõem a DIR XV/Piracicaba/SP / Abstract: In the last 35 years a great demographic aging in the developing countries was observed, reaching a growth of 123% according to Organization of United Nations. With the reduction of the illness caries in the country and with the necessity of a universal attendance and equal form of the population, the health services must search to reach all not only the bands and the groups of children in pertaining to school age as it came being made for innumerable teams of buccal health in some states of Brazil. In this form, searchs to analyze and to argue the implanted public politics in the buccal health area, in relation to the aged population, the cities of the region of the Regional Direction of Health XV (DIR - XV/Piracicaba/SP) in the state of São Paulo. It was elaborated a questionnaire with questions of planning, attention and assistance in health and process of work having involved the population with more than 60 years of age, directed to the Coordination of Buccal Health of the City departments of the 20 cities that compose the DIR, being that 19 they had 19 answered to the questionnaire. The data had been analyzed of descriptive form and the results presented through tables. He was demonstrated that the majority of the cities still has the attention to the buccal health directed the pertaining to school and daily pay - pertaining to school, the great majority of the cities, does not use criteria epidemiologists for planning of its action with the aged population, as well as for the adult population. If it makes necessary the adoption on the part of the cities, of criteria of familiar and individual risk for the band of the aged ones in the planning of the basic attention. The service must be organized in the development of the work process so that the clinic increases its resolutive capacity and the education in buccal health better is worked, having the actions of health with the aged ones not to be restricted only to the Basic Unit of Health / Mestrado / Mestre em Saude Coletiva

Magister Public Health - MPH / Since the introduction in 2005 of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services in Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria the PMTCT programme has faced several challenges including that of poor male participation in the PMTCT programme. To date no research has focused on the issue of male participation in PMTCT programmes in Akwa Ibom State, and there is thus a limited understanding of why so few male partners of HIVpositive pregnant women participate in the State's PMTCT programme. It is therefore important to explore the factors affecting male involvement in PMTCT programmes in Akwa Ibom State, so that strategies can be put in place to help improve the overall health of their families and themselves. The overall aim of the study was thus to explore the factors affecting male participation in the PMTCT programme at a primary health care center in West Itam, Akwa Ibom State, in Nigeria. This explorative study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative research approach. The research study approach helped to understand the perspectives of the male partners of HIV positive pregnant women who received the PMTCT intervention, as well as key informants in the Primary Health Care (PHC) facility where these PMTCT services are offered. The study population consisted of all males living within the catchment area of the West Itam PHC, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. In the research study, 11 men were purposively sampled: five of whom were the partners of HIV-positive women who had attended, or were currently attending the PMTCT services at the West Itam PHC with their partner. The other six interviewees were local male community members – who would be eligible to potentially accompany their partner to PMTCT services at the facility. The data was collected through individual, in-depth interviews with the male partners and community members using a semi-structured interview guide. One focus group discussion (FGD) was conducted with key personnel working in the West Itam PHC using a semistructured interview guide. All interviews and the FGD were tape-recorded and transcribed. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Ethical approval was first obtained from the UWC Research Ethics Committee and the Ethics Committee of the Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Health before proceeding with the study. From this study, it is suggested that most of the respondents knew that PMTCT services are offered at the PHC West Itam. They knew their partner's next antenatal appointment, but only very few accompany their pregnant partners to the antenatal clinic. The striking reason being a lack of time/being busy. The key means of support of the partners' antenatal visits was giving their pregnant partners money for transport, and money for food/snacks (at the clinic). Inter-spousal communication was found to be good, and there appeared to be a perception by the men that antenatal clinic (ANC)/PMTCT is not only for women, with most of the men agreeing that it is useful for men to participate in PMTCT. The barriers to male participation in the PMTCT programme that were elicited in this study include lack of belief about HIV/AIDS and lack of awareness about PMTCT and the perception of PMTCT as a "women's affair". Another barrier to male participation in the PMTCT programme was the men being busy with their jobs/lack of time, and fear. Facility-based barriers include delays/time wasting at the clinic, and the nurses, who were identified as having an unaccommodating attitude towards the clients. Finally, the fact that the nurses and counsellors at the PHC West Itam were all female was a problem for men. It is recommended that there is need for advocacy and education to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS, and encourage male participation in PMTCT. It is also important to encourage the disclosure of HIV status by the women to their male partners. Furthermore, a separate male counselling unit needs to be created, as well as ensuring the employment of male nurses and counsellors. Additionally, the female nurses at the facility need to be trained/re-trained on proper attitude and confidentiality, and efforts must be made to avoid delays at the clinic.

"Photonic crystals have recently been the subject of studies for use in optical signal processing. In particular, a Coupled Resonator Optical Waveguide (CROW) structure has been considered by M. F. Yanik and S. Fan in “Stopping Light All Optically” for use in a time-varying optical system for the storage of light in order to mitigate the effects of waveguide dispersion. In this thesis, the effects of the thermal field on the state stored in such a structure is studied. Through simulation, this thesis finds that when this structure is constructed of gallium arsenide cylinders in air, loss of the signal was found to be caused by free-carrier absorption, and the decay of the signal dominates over thermal spreading of the optical signal’s spectrum."

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / The obstetric nurse returns to the scenery of reproductive health with their responsibilities enlarged, as strategy proposed by the World Organization of Health - OMS, for the reduction of the maternal and perinatal mortality rates. This fact increases the demands of better professional qualification, so that the interventions implemented for the protection of womenâs and childrenâs health are effective and efficacious. In this perspective, we developed this documental study, aiming to propose a guideline for the nursesâ clinical actions in prenatal consultations in the physiological dimension, subsidized in the International Classification for the Practice of Nursing-CIPE. It was developed at the Center of Natural Childbirth of the Center of Family Development - CEDEFAM/UFC, located in the city of Fortaleza-CE. The population was constituted of 253 records of pregnant women that attended the prenatal nursing consultation in the period between July 2003 and August 2004, and the sample was composed of 62 records selected at random. We used an instrument for data collection that contained the Nursing phenomena according to the CIPE - alpha version. The data were collected in the months of May and August 2004. We detected that the more prevalent phenomenon in the pregnant women were: intermittent sleep (56,5%); functional dyspnea (51,6%); edema (37,1%); orthopnea (35,5%) and constipation (32,2%). We carried out the tests of association qui-square and Firsher, but there was not association of the phenomenon among themselves, nor with the other variables of the study. The conduct guideâs development made it possible to verify that the construction of technologies is something accessible to Nursing and that the CIPE can contribute to a better organization of the nurseâs actions during prenatal period, starting from the answers of the pregnant women facing the physiological alterations caused by pregnancy / O enfermeiro obstetra volta ao cenÃrio da saÃde reprodutiva com suas responsabilidades ampliadas, como estratÃgia proposta pela OrganizaÃÃo Mundial da SaÃde â OMS, para a reduÃÃo dos Ãndices de morbi-mortalidade materna e perinatal.

Although the importance of early identification and intervention of infants at risk for communication delays and disorders have been advocated and emphasized in literature, case finding and service delivery in rural areas in South Africa appears to be problematic. The implementation of early communication intervention (ECI) within public service delivery has been proposed in the past. The primary health care (PHC) package had to be considered as a possible vehicle to be utilized for the implementation of ECI functions in rural communities. Against this background the existing identification methods and referral systems, utilized in Ditsobotla sub-district, were described in the current study to determine the limitations in case finding, and the feasibility of the implementation of ECI functions in collaboration with other PHC programmes. A descriptive dominant-less-dominant model provided the design to describe the identification process and teamwork in Ditsobotla sub-district. Data triangulation was utilized to improve reliability and validity of results which entailed a rating scale, face-to-face interviews with PHC personnel (participants in Group 1) and face-to-face interviews with PHC programme managers (participants in group 2). The results indicated that the capacity of facilities and human resources to support the implementation of ECI functions vary within the sub-district. Therefore an incremental implementation of ECI functions is feasible in collaboration with the existing PHC package. The current identification methods and referral systems are limited and a great need for collaboration exists. ECI functions need to be implemented formally within the PHC package and guidelines for such an implementation are provided. Furthermore the identification process to be introduced needs to form part of the incremental implementation of ECI functions. The implications are discussed in terms of ECI service delivery in rural South Africa. The proposed process of incremental implementation of ECI functions in rural areas, i.e. Ditsobotla sub-district, within the PHC package is provided. The need to develop identification methods, referral systems and guidelines for the implementation of ECI in PHC are emphasized. Future practice-based research is recommended in order to improve ECI service delivery in rural areas in South Africa.

The pediatric audiology landscape changed dramatically with the advances in screening and diagnostic procedures, amplification possibilities and early identification outcomes. Pediatricians play a key role in this rapidly developing field. The aim of this study was to investigate Pediatricians’ knowledge and attitudes regarding the diagnosis and intervention of infants and children with a sensorineural hearing loss. A questionnaire was compiled to obtain the relevant empirical data. This was distributed to 257 pediatricians in the Gauteng Province. Of the 257 questionnaires only 47 could be utilised. According to the results obtained from the pediatricians it appears that the respondents possess adequate knowledge regarding the diagnosis and intervention of infants and children with sensorineural hearing loss. This is despite having received limited or no information and training on this subject. As is discussed in Chapter 4 it became evident that knowledge gaps were found to exist. The pediatrician is an important team member of the hearing intervention team. Their involvement is crucial and their referral can be the important stepping-stone for early identification and intervention. A lack of skills and proficient knowledge is a major constraint during the implementation of efficient primary health care services in developing countries. Throughout the results of this study, it is found that pediatricians have a need for additional information and training in the intervention process of infants and children with sensorineural hearing loss, therefore showing a positive attitude towards continuous education. This is based on the results found throughout the study, in terms of a void in certain areas surrounding effective intervention of hearing loss. The aim of the study was to highlight areas of uncertainty that the respondents might experience and to provide educational programmes in order to equip them with the relevant knowledge with regards to sensorineural hearing loss. The findings of this study would hopefully encourage future research and a more in-depth study regarding this topic. / Dissertation (M (Communication Pathology))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology / Unrestricted

Thesis (M. A. (Nursing)) -- University of Limpopo, 2020 / Background: Long patient waiting time for services is demonstrated by daily long queues of patients in Primary Health Care (PHC) and hospitals Outpatients departments. Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the factors contributing to long waiting time at Blouberg Health Centre (BHC), Capricorn District, Limpopo Province. Methods: A quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research design was used to describe factors contributing to long waiting time. The study population consisted 31356 patients in the financial year 2017/2018. Simple random probability sampling was used to select 395 respondents. Data were collected using self-developed questionnaire. All questionnaires were completed and returned. The 395 questionnaires were then analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS, version 25). Descriptive statistics were used to analyze and describe and summarized data. Findings: The findings were presented in the form of distribution graphs and tables. Inferential statistics were used based on probability and allowed judgement to be made about variables. The study revealed factors considered most important were lack of commitment; full time study leaves at the same year; workshops; sick leaves; increased population; sitting in tearoom for hours; many foreign national without passports; staff shortages; laissez faire working style and transfers or escorting patients, while the nearby Hellen Franz Hospital (HFH) also transfer to the same hospitals, leading to mismanagement of budget reduced manpower and increased death rate. Recommendations: The study recommends that all Primary Health Care (PHC) settings should use numbers for patients when entering facilities to monitor the queuing and prevent dissatisfaction that can result from long waiting. Conclusion: It is of paramount importance to provide clearer, transparent information to the recipients of the Primary health care services that they might receive. The provincial coordinators are accountable to the waiting time management with the assistance of the PHC specialist nurse and Nursing Management.

Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor in Public Management, School of Public Management and Economics, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2016. / The shortage of staff in hospitals resulted in the overcrowding of outpatients departments (OPDs) and long waiting times. The problems of the current health care system include the lack of access to transportation and high transport fees which cause delays in health seeking behaviours by patients or them resorting to traditional medicine in their neighbourhood. To alleviate the above issues, the new Primary Health Care (PHC) approach provides health care at a ward based and household level through community care giver (CCGs) and outreach teams. The study evaluated the management of rural ward-based primary health care in the UThukela District Municipality (UDM). The study intended to evaluate current performance systems in order to provide effective and efficient PHC; identify the role of the operational manager (OM) in the provision of PHC; and identify the factors affecting the performance of CCGs. A mixed methods approach was used amongst 368 CCGs and 17 OMs. Data was collected from CCGs using questionnaires while an interview schedule was used to collect data from OMs. The study showed that the performance management systems currently being used were not providing the desired performance management outputs. There were no performance bonuses to recognise best performing staff and therefore no increase in performance. The study also showed a significant relationship between the management of referrals and participation in the activities of PHC outreach teams. The clinic was not regularly giving feedback to the respondents and also not consistently conducting performance reviews. The findings indicated that OMs were playing various roles in the provision of PHC, namely policy and strategy implementation; leadership and governance; clinical care; allocation of resources; clinic budget management; supply chain management; and writing clinic reports. The extent of the allocation of resources to the wards varied from 43% for medicines and equipment to 31% for financial resources and only 18% for human resources. More than 95% of the CCGs viewed the availability of transport, resources, training and the provision of a stipend to be strong enabling factors for them to perform their work. Respondents indicated that monitoring and evaluation was done through reporting, performance reviews, feedback and supervision. The findings indicated that ward-based outreach teams are crucial in the delivery of PHC services in rural municipal wards within the Operation Sukuma Sakhe programme. Lack of management and supervisory support contribute to high rates of dissatisfaction amongst CCGs, as well as poor quality of work for community caregivers. There is a need for the Department of Health (DoH) to invest in the ward-based outreach teams (WBOTs) and allocate CCG budgets within the ward-based outreach teams. The study recommended that a review of monitoring and evaluation policy is required to clearly state the tools, activities and benefits of the implementation of the M & E performance management systems. The use of point-of-care technology by the WBOTs should be strengthened especially in deep rural wards. Therefore, biomedical technology will enhance point-of-care diagnosis, for instance, rapid home test kits for HIV diagnosis and pregnancy tests. The KwaZulu-Natal DoH should fast-track development of the sub-districts in order strengthen service delivery at a local level with top management ensuring development of OMs and PHC Supervisors in order to increase the level of competence and thereby improve service delivery at the PHC facilities. Another recommendation was to strengthen implementation of Operation Sukuma Sakhe (OSS) where the war room and the ward committee increase commitment to designing community-specific interventions with the engagement of community structures and government departments and local municipality through social planning, social action and locality development. Therefore, the results of the study should also influence the formulation of policies, programmes, methods and interventions which will enable UThukela District Municipality to improve health outcomes. / D

Esta dissertação objetiva discutir as tensões que o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) tem sofrido no recente contexto de crise de democracia política e social no país. Em diálogo com a literatura que discute os efeitos das políticas de austeridade econômica nas políticas sociais, especificamente as de saúde, pergunta-se: como os efeitos da crise atual entendendo que se trata de uma crise complexa que tem como marco os eventos de 2013 e 2016, tem se manifestado concretamente nas políticas de saúde? Neste trabalho optou-se por estudar o financiamento do SUS como um eixo operacional fundamental e que reflete dinâmicas políticas mais amplas. A análise das dinâmicas de financiamento do SUS teve como foco o Estado de SP e os seus efeitos na Atenção Primária em Saúde (APS). Considera-se como hipótese que a queda da arrecadação tributária vinculada à retração da atividade econômica industrial no estado em decorrência das crises financeira, política e institucional que o país atravessa desde 2013 vem contribuindo para a estagnação dos investimentos públicos na saúde. Os resultados desta discussão sugerem que os limites de gastos estabelecidos pela Emenda Constitucional no 95/2016 estabelecem uma limitação direta sobre o financiamento público do sistema e suas consequências sobre a APS serão particularmente danosas no quadro epidemiológico mais amplo do país e do estado, caso não haja mudança no processo político em curso, conforme revela um conjunto de indicadores financeiros e sociais analisados neste trabalho / This dissertation aims to discuss the tensions that the Unified Health System (SUS) has suffered in the recent context of a crisis of political and social democracy in the country. In dialogue with the literature that discusses the effects of economic austerity policies on social policies, specifically health policies, we ask: how the effects of the current crisis - understanding that it is a complex crisis that has as a frame the events of 2013 2016, has it manifested itself concretely in health policies? In this study, we chose to study SUS financing as a fundamental operational axis and that reflects broader political dynamics. The analysis of the financing dynamics of SUS focused on the State of São Paulo and its effects on Primary Health Care (PHC). It is considered as a hypothesis that the fall in tax revenue linked to the retraction of industrial economic activity in the state because of the financial, political and institutional crises that the country has been undergoing since 2013 has contributed to the stagnation of public investments in health. The results of this discussion suggest that the spending limits established by Constitutional Amendment 95/2016 will establish a direct limitation on the public financing of the system and its consequences on PHC will be particularly harmful in the broader epidemiological framework of the country and state, if not there is a change in the current political process, as revealed by a set of financial and social indicators analyzed in this work
