Integrating sexual health services : an ethnographically-informed study of attendee experience

Wright, Sarah Elizabeth Jeavons January 2017 (has links)
Across the UK the integration of historically divergent specialities of genitourinary medicine (GUM) and well-woman/family planning (WW/FP) has emerged as a modern approach to sexual and reproductive health care provision. Integration’s most visible form is the ‘one-stop shop’ (OSS), where a full range of services are brought together under one roof and wherein care is provided by comprehensively trained practitioners. To date, there exists only limited insights into stakeholder experiences of integrated clinics. Conducting ethnographically-informed research at one such purpose-built OSS over a 9 month period (2013-2014), I sought to redress this gap in knowledge. Accompanying 29 attendees along their journey through the clinic, my research offers a detailed examination of the extent to which experience is shaped by integration. Drawing upon literature at the confluence of medical sociology, social geography, and anthropology, including Gesler’s (1992) ‘geographic metaphor’ of the ‘therapeutic landscape’, the thesis puts forward two key arguments. First, I suggest that participants often reconstructed the clinic as aligned to their presenting need, for example, a ‘GUM clinic’, or a ‘family planning’ service. This finding, teased out over the course of the thesis, destabilises assumptions present in previous studies that integration be inevitably deterministic in shaping attendees’ experiences. Second, the thesis contributes to a gaps in literature relating to Gesler’s (1992) ‘therapeutic landscapes’ in three key ways. The first contribution is to show how affective landscapes matter, are significant, in the formation of experience in a novel setting – a transient, ‘walk-in’ clinic. The findings, further, point to the elevated import of the physical and symbolic landscapes in the case of the OSS - a place where there is little opportunity to cultivate therapeutic social relationships. Finally, the thesis speaks to the ways in which the affective landscapes of the clinic work to challenge, confirm or reshape attendees’ preconceptions and expectations of sexual health services. Together, these findings contribute to pre-existing accounts of the experience of integrated services by asking us to consider the influence of forces other than the integrated status of service delivery on attendee experiences of such sites. I argue that place should not be conceived as immutable but, rather, is subject to individual interpretations that are, themselves, the product of both situated and external contexts.

No. of bitstreams: 1 OTNIEL ALENCAR BANDEIRA.pdf: 5227490 bytes, checksum: 36599b231aebefcb8167e87e930208db (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-10 / Sanitation is a set of measures adopted to preserve or alter the conditions of the environment in order to prevent diseases, promote health, improve the quality of life of the population, individual productivity, and facilitate economic activity. Part of the Brazilian population lives in places where sanitation conditions are still very precarious. Due to the lack of sanitation and minimum conditions of hygiene, the population is subject to various types of diseases such as diarrhea, cholera, hepatitis A, dengue, chikungunya, zika, yellow fever, schistosomiasis, leptospirosis and others. From then on, the interest arose to verify the conditions of sanitation in Goiânia, a regional metropolis of great economic importance to the State of Goiás. The following question then arose: what is the current condition of basic sanitation in Goiânia and what are the impacts caused The health of the population due to the deficiencies of this service? The importance of this work is justified by addressing the relevance of sanitation to territorial planning in the city of Goiânia, with emphasis on the analysis of the impacts on public health. In this sense, the objective of this research was to analyze the conditions of basic sanitation of Goiânia households and to verify the reflected impacts on the health of the population due to the diseases caused by the inexistence or inefficiency of these services. The research was divided into five stages, including a bibliographic survey in scientific databases, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Department of Informatics of SUS - DATASUS, as well as the application of questionnaires with residents of the Jardim do Cerrado I - IV . It was possible to verify that the sanitation services in Goiânia are still inefficient, mainly regarding the sewage collection and treatment index and the lack of drainage networks in most of the municipality. The number of hospitalizations of people with diseases related to the lack or lack of basic sanitation are also indicative of the sanitary conditions of the population. / Saneamento é um conjunto de medidas adotadas para preservar ou alterar as condições do meio ambiente, a fim de prevenir doenças, promover a saúde, melhorar a qualidade de vida da população, a produtividade individual, além de facilitar a atividade econômica. Parte da população brasileira reside em locais onde as condições de saneamento ainda são muito precárias. Devido à falta de saneamento e condições mínimas de higiene, a população fica sujeita a diversos tipos de enfermidades como diarreias, cólera, hepatite A, dengue, chikungunya, zika, febre amarela, esquistossomose, leptospirose e outras. A partir de então, surgiu o interesse por verificar as condições de saneamento em Goiânia, uma metrópole regional e de grande importância econômica ao Estado de Goiás. Surgiu então o seguinte questionamento: qual a condição atual de saneamento básico em Goiânia e quais os impactos causados na saúde da população pelas deficiências deste serviço? A importância deste trabalho justifica-se por tratar da relevância do saneamento para o planejamento territorial no município de Goiânia com ênfase na análise dos impactos provocados na saúde pública. Neste sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar as condições de saneamento básico dos domicílios de Goiânia e verificar os impactos refletidos sobre a saúde da população devido às doenças causadas pela inexistência ou ineficiência destes serviços. A pesquisa foi dividida em seis etapas, incluindo levantamento bibliográfico em bases de dados científicas, no Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística – IBGE e Departamento de Informática do SUS – DATASUS, além da aplicação de questionários juntamente com residentes do Residencial Jardim do Cerrado I a IV. Foi possível verificar que os serviços de saneamento em Goiânia ainda são ineficientes, principalmente no que se refere ao índice de coleta e tratamento de esgotos e inexistência de redes de drenagem pluvial na maior parte do município. O número de internações de pessoas com doenças, relacionadas à inexistência ou precariedade de saneamento básico também, são indicativos das condições sanitárias da população.

Tatiane Gomes Guedes 28 February 2011 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de NÃvel Superior / Na lÃgica da Reforma PsiquiÃtrica, mulheres portadoras de transtorno mental devem ter acesso à atenÃÃo bÃsica no campo do Planejamento Familiar (PF). Desta forma, estabeleceu-se a tese de que o matriciamento à uma estratÃgia que favorece a promoÃÃo do PF de mulheres com transtorno mental pelas equipes da EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia (ESF). Objetivou-se analisar o matriciamento como estratÃgia para efetivar o planejamento familiar de mulheres portadoras de transtorno mental; identificar condutas de enfermeiros e de mÃdicos frente Ãs demandas de planejamento familiar de mulheres com transtorno mental na atenÃÃo bÃsica, bem como possÃveis fatores que interfiram no atendimento neste nÃvel de atenÃÃo; verificar percepÃÃes da equipe de saÃde do CAPS a respeito de demandas de mulheres portadoras de transtorno mental no campo do planejamento familiar; e investigar contribuiÃÃes de profissionais dos CSF e do CAPS que venham a favorecer o atendimento ao planejamento familiar de mulheres com transtorno mental no sistema de saÃde. Estudo do tipo descritivo-exploratÃrio e convergente assistencial, desenvolvido em onze CSF e um CAPS de Fortaleza-CE. A coleta de dados ocorreu em duas etapas. Na primeira, ocorreram entrevistas com 42 profissionais (enfermeiros e mÃdicos) dos CSF e com 8 profissionais do CAPS; e na segunda houve o exercÃcio do matriciamento. Os dados foram organizados no SPSS e pela tÃcnica de anÃlise de conteÃdo de Bardin. Parte das condutas profissionais nos CSF mostrou-se adequadas: importÃncia à atenÃÃo ao PF, preocupaÃÃo com interaÃÃo medicamentosa e com cuidado materno; indicaÃÃo de MÃtodos Anticoncepcionais (MAC) que nÃo exija controle feminino; corresponsabilidade do parceiro no PF; vigilÃncia ao abuso sexual; atendimento sem discriminaÃÃo; e inadequadas: atendimento restrito ao quadro psicopatolÃgico, conduta inadequada ao PF de portadora de esquizofrenia. Os fatores a interferir nas condutas profissionais foram restrita variedade de MAC; rotina de prescriÃÃo mÃdica do anticoncepcional hormonal, inseguranÃa tÃcnica para atender aos casos. As demandas de PF apresentadas pelos profissionais do CAPS foram: lidar com a paciente sexualmente ativa; com pacientes susceptÃveis à violÃncia sexual e à gravidez; pacientes com depressÃo e que fazem uso de carbonato de lÃtio. ContribuiÃÃes dos participantes incluÃram: reduÃÃo do nÃmero de famÃlias por equipe da ESF; nÃmero suficiente de agentes comunitÃrios; capacitaÃÃo dos profissionais em saÃde mental; disponibilizaÃÃo dos MAC; apoio matricial; envolvimento da famÃlia; administraÃÃo supervisionada dos contraceptivos. O exercÃcio de matriciamento ocorreu por meio de duas reuniÃes: na primeira foram apresentados os resultados da pesquisa; e na segunda, por meio, de um caso clÃnico, os participantes discutiram seis aspectos para a efetivaÃÃo do PF de mulheres portadoras de transtorno mental: integraÃÃo equipes dos CSF e do CAPS; levantamento dos aspectos reprodutivos e sexuais na histÃria clÃnica inicial; encaminhamento da paciente com descriÃÃo detalhada; intervenÃÃo mÃdica conjunta dos CSF e do CAPS na prescriÃÃo de MAC e anticonvulsivantes; apresentaÃÃo das pacientes para os novos profissionais, no caso de troca de equipe; e contracepÃÃo supervisionada. Por fim, confirmou-se a tese de que o matriciamento à uma estratÃgia que favorece a promoÃÃo da assistÃncia ao PF de mulheres com transtorno mental pelas equipes da ESF.

However, despite its institutionalization to be see like a important fact in a public health history of Brazil meant just the star of this achievement. The hospital model of curative medicine that prevailed in the country became difficult the development the actions to health promotion and prevention of diseases by Basic Attention (BA). With the transformations to people health and the life expectancy that changed in the world, the public health also needed to be changed to this reality, opening place to the development of actions to basic attention. However, it’s necessary to plan, evaluate and monitor better this level of attention. Methodology: It is a descriptive cross-sectional cohort study, that the selected information was done based on the national base database external evaluation of Improvement Program Access and Quality of Basic Attention (PMAQ-AB) in Goiás, accomplished between July and September of 2012. The sample consists of 677 professionals that answered the interviews about the external evaluation of the module II. Results: The identification profile of interviewers showed that nurses are most in Basic Attention Management. Although post-graduating index is considerable , few are who finished or are concluding postgraduate stricto sensu. The career plan isn't a priority on the municipalities, without recognizing the professional development. The permanent education, although is present everyday of groups of Basic Attention, sometimes doesn’t serve the needs of the teams. The development of actions to organizing of work process was cited by 82,1% of teams. On the other hand, the data analysis showed that the planning stages aren’t following the systematic form, even with institutional support and regular together in the most teams. The population without coverage, near the catchment area of most teams, can difficult this process. Noticed, important management tools like the search of satisfaction of user, aren't using that much the planning by teams analyzed. Conclusion: With the study , we can conclude that PMAQ-AB is the method that the search of Basic Attention and SUS consolidation. The analyzed data showed that Basic Attention in Goiás needs a better management process, like in all Brazilian reality. Thus, it’s necessary to produce new studies to measure the impact of PMAQ-AB in Goiás. / Introdução: A luta social por saúde pública de qualidade levou ao surgimento do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Contudo, apesar de sua institucionalização ser vista como um marco importante na história da saúde pública no Brasil, significou apenas o início dessa conquista. O modelo hospitalocêntrico voltado à medicina curativista que imperava no País dificultava o desenvolvimento de ações voltadas à promoção da saúde e prevenção de doenças por meio da Atenção Básica (AB). Com as transformações em prol da saúde da população e a expectativa de vida no cenário mundial modificada, a saúde pública também precisou se adequar a essa nova realidade, abrindo espaço para o desenvolvimento de ações voltadas à atenção básica. A partir disso, surge então a necessidade de se planejar, avaliar e monitorar melhor esse nível de atenção. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo de corte transversal, cujas informações selecionadas foram geradas a partir do banco de dados da base nacional da avaliação externa do Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica (PMAQAB) em Goiás, realizada entre julho e setembro de 2012. A amostra é constituída dos 677 profissionais que responderam às entrevistas do módulo II da avaliação externa. Resultados: A identificação do perfil dos entrevistados mostrou que os enfermeiros constituem maioria na gestão da Atenção Básica. Embora o índice de pós-graduados seja considerável, poucos são os que concluíram ou estão em fase de conclusão de pósgraduação stricto sensu. O plano de carreira não tem sido prioridade na agenda dos municípios, deixando muitas vezes a valorização profissional sem o seu devido reconhecimento. A educação permanente, embora presente no dia a dia das equipes de AB, nem sempre têm atendido às necessidades das equipes. O desenvolvimento de ações voltadas à organização do processo de trabalho foi citado por 82,1% das equipes. No entanto, a análise dos dados mostrou que as etapas do planejamento não estão sendo seguidas de forma sistemática, mesmo contando com apoio institucional e com as reuniões periódicas na maioria das equipes. A presença de população sem cobertura, próximo à área de abrangência da maioria das equipes, pode ser considerado um fator dificultador desse processo. Observou-se, ainda, que importantes ferramentas de gestão, como a pesquisa de satisfação do usuário, são pouco utilizadas no planejamento pelas equipes analisadas. Conclusão: Com o estudo pode-se concluir que o PMAQ-AB representa um importante método na busca pela qualificação da Atenção Básica e consolidação do SUS. Os dados analisados apontam que a Atenção Básica em Goiás precisa melhorar seu processo de gestão como em toda realidade brasileira. Entende-se a necessidade de se produzir novos estudos a fim de que o impacto do PMAQ-AB no estado de Goiás possa ser mensurado.

<b>Advancing the quantitative assessment of transportation equity for planning</b>

Rajat Verma (19165507) 18 July 2024 (has links)
<p dir="ltr">The passing of the Equity Executive Order by the US government in 2021 and the Equity Action Plan developed by the US Department of Transportation have made addressing equity a priority in transportation planning projects. The Equity Action Plan recognizes socio-economically disadvantaged (SED) and rural communities as overburdened and underserved in transportation services and highlights the need to provide basic equality of opportunities and a fair distribution of burdens in transportation. In response, several transportation planning agencies have proposed their own criteria, methods, metrics, and tools to quantify equity issues and use them in planning. However, transport equity is a multi-faceted phenomenon and its quantification faces challenges due to a lack of standards and a comprehensive assessment framework.</p><p dir="ltr">The first objective of this dissertation is to develop a nuanced understanding in three key aspects of transport equity – (i) accessibility to opportunities, (ii) environmental burden, and (iii) health outcomes – based on the concept of ‘compound disadvantage’. A detailed assessment of prominent accessibility measures reveals a substantial measurement bias in the current measures, which can result in inappropriate conclusions such as an overestimating accessibility to opportunities for SED neighborhoods on average by 16%. Despite this, spatial accessibility is found to be high for compact, urban areas which also tend to have higher concentration of SED communities. However, there are significant modal differences in accessibility that reveal a substantial lack of utilization of infrastructure for alternate modes of travel – public transit, walking, and bicycling.</p><p dir="ltr">Evaluation of inequalities in environmental and health outcomes shows substantial disadvantage faced by SED communities, particularly poor people and people of color. A proposed emission equity index shows that low-income and racial minority neighborhoods of Indiana’s largest cities disproportionately experience vehicular pollution from travelers residing in high-income, White-majority areas passing through their neighborhoods. Similarly, essential workers living in low-income areas are observed to have experienced significantly worse COVID-19 infection rates than in high-income areas in Chicago and New York City, and this effect was mediated by their ‘mobility vulnerability’. Together, these results suggest a strong compounding of disadvantage by the current transportation systems for already disadvantaged communities despite their higher accessibility to opportunities owing to their predominantly urban residences.</p><p dir="ltr">The second objective of this dissertation is to integrate the equity measures in an interactive screening tool for identifying the vulnerable and priority areas for investment. ‘Indiana Equity Atlas’, an equity-screening dashboard tool, is developed to allow transportation planners and analysts to identify priority areas in terms of compound disadvantage of two selected indicators of socio-economic, accessibility, environmental burden, and health disadvantage. With this tool and the associated data and metrics, this work seeks to provide a comprehensive framework for identifying vulnerable regions to formally capture equity issues in transportation and urban planning and analysis.</p>
