CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Com a implantaÃÃo do Programa SaÃde da FamÃlia, a visita domiciliÃria vem ganhando forÃa nesta Ãltima dÃcada, apesar de ser uma atividade desenvolvida na Ãrea de SaÃde PÃblica desde o inÃcio do sÃculo. O presente estudo tem como objetivo compreender percepÃÃes do usuÃrio sobre a visita domiciliÃria como componente do Programa SaÃde da FamÃlia, referente Ãs dimensÃes: cuidado, humanizaÃÃo e integralidade. Trata-se de um estudo exploratÃrio, de natureza qualitativa. Fundamentado na fenomenologia hermenÃutica, inserindo-se na vertente crÃtico interpretativa dado investigar o fenÃmeno em estudo contrastando-o com a materialidade a que se relaciona, buscando apontar elementos para sua transformaÃÃo. Para tanto, foram realizadas 21 entrevistas em profundidade com usuÃrios que recebiam visita domiciliÃria e residiam nas Ãreas pertencentes Ãs seis Secretarias Executivas Regionais de SaÃde no MunicÃpio de Fortaleza. As entrevistas gravadas e transcritas constituÃram a base empÃrica do estudo. A anÃlise dos depoimentos de cada informante evidenciou trÃs eixos temÃticos centrais: 1) Aspectos Relacionais da Visita DomiciliÃria: percepÃÃes dos usuÃrios quanto aos aspectos relacionados à humanizaÃÃo do cuidado e integralidade da assistÃncia durante a visita das equipes. Esse eixo foi dividido em trÃs dimensÃes: percepÃÃo da relaÃÃo profissional usuÃrio, humanizaÃÃo do cuidado, o sentido da integralidade. O segundo eixo 2) CaracterÃsticas da Visita, enfoca caracterÃsticas da visita em relaÃÃo à prioridade e operacionalizaÃÃo da mesma. Emergiram nesse eixo duas dimensÃes: freqÃÃncia/duraÃÃo e seleÃÃo dos atendimentos. O terceiro e Ãltimo eixo temÃtico-VinculaÃÃo com o ServiÃo, levanta questÃes relacionadas com o serviÃo, enfocando aspectos funcionais e de integraÃÃo da atenÃÃo com outros serviÃos, e desdobrando-se em trÃs dimensÃes: funcionamento da unidade, equidade e integraÃÃo da atenÃÃo. As consideraÃÃes finais deste trabalho apontam como caminho para mudanÃas no paradigma da assistÃncia domiciliÃria, a prÃtica em saÃde baseada na aproximaÃÃo, conversaÃÃo e negociaÃÃo constante, entre profissionais, usuÃrios e comunidade / Although a public health practice since the early 20th century, home visits by health care teams from the newly implanted family health program have become increasingly popular over the past decade. The present study looks into usersâ perceptions of home visits within the context of the family health program with respect to completeness and humanization of care. The study was explorative and qualitative. Based on hermeneutic phenomenology and within a critical-interpretive perspective, the study contrasts the phenomenon under investigation with its own materiality in search of transforming elements. To this end 21 interviews were carried out in depth with users receiving home visits by family health teams within the six administrative health districts of Fortaleza. The empirical evidence of the study consisted of taped and transcribed interviews. An analysis of the interviews revealed the existence of three core themes: 1) Health professional/user relationships, i.e. usersâ perceptions of completeness and humanization of care during visits. This theme was divided into three items: perception of health professional/user relationships, humanization of care and the meaning of completeness; 2) Characterization of visits, with emphasis on priorities and operationalization. The theme was divided into two items: frequency/duration of visits and patient selection; and 3) User/health facility association, with focus on health facility management and integration with other services, divided into three items: health facility management, equity and integration of care. In conclusion, the study suggests that home visiting practices may be improved by enhancing the aspects of closeness, conversation and constant negotiation between professionals, users and the community

Introduction. This paper discusses the most topical issues of the Biocidal Products Directive (BPD) implementation, in particular, the impact on the social and health safety on various population groups, environmental safety, trade, manufacturing and their prospectives. The Aim of the Study – to evaluate the development of the biocides market and its participants in Lithuania. The Tasks – to evaluate the impact of the approximation of the laws of Lithuania and the European Union, concerning the placing of biocides on the market and its participants. Methods. Based on the "Methodology for impact of the regulatory laws assessment", the study identifies changes in the biocides market and the activity of its participants. A sample survey of manufacturers of biocides and of the users (personal health care institutions and preventive disinfection and disinfestation enterprises) was conducted. The analysis and evaluation of the available biocides database was also undertaken and SPSS statistics software was used to measure the statistical significance of the results. The market was assessed by the application of the criteria laid down in the BPD, in particular, the number of authorized biocides, distribution of product types, distribution of biocides according to categories of users, distribution of use of identified and notified active substances of biocides. Results. The study demonstrated that the Lithuanian biocides market has changed following the implementation of the BPD:... [to full text]

Computers have become indispensable in all walks of life, causing people to rely increasingly on their accurate performance. Defective computer programs, the incorrect use of computer programs and the non-use of computer programs can cause serious damage. Expert systems are an application of artificial intelligence techniques whereby the human reasoning process is simulated in a computer system, enabling the system to act as a human expert when executing a task. Expert systems are used by professional users as an aid in reaching a decision and by nonprofessional users to solve a problem or to decide upon a specific course of action. As such they can be compared to a consumer product through which professional services are sold. The various parties that may possibly be held liable in the event of damage suffered by the use of expert systems are identified as consisting of two main groups, namely the producers and the users. Because of the frequent exemption of liability for any consequential loss in standard form computer contracts, the injured user may often have only a delictual action at her disposal. The faultbased delictual actions in SA law give inadequate protection to unsuspecting software users who incur ·personal and property damage through the use of defective expert systems since it is almost impossible for an unsophisticated injured party to prove the negligence of the software developer during the technical production process. For this reason it is recommended that software liability be grounded on strict liability in analogy to the European Directive on Liability for Defective Products. It is also pointed out that software standards and quality assurance procedures have a major role to play in the determination of the elements of wrongfulness and negligence in software liability and that the software industry should be accorded professional status to ensure a safe standard of computer programming. / Private Law / LL.D.

Os objetivos desta pesquisa foram: compreender a perspectiva do profissional de saúde e do usuário hipertenso sobre a interação que ocorre entre eles no contexto da atenção em unidades públicas de saúde e analisar de que forma essa interação contribui para a não-adesão ao regime terapêutico. A metodologia aplicada para o desenvolvimento do estudo foi a Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados e o referencial teórico utilizado para a análise dos dados e interpretação dos resultados foi o Interacionismo Simbólico, além da literatura existente sobre o assunto. Ao todo, quinze profissionais de saúde e dez usuários fizeram parte da pesquisa. Ao final, foram encontradas seis categorias (duas delas, centrais) e outras subcategorias as quais, depois de um processo elaborado de comparações, relações e integração compuseram a proposição teórica que a autora fez sobre a interação entre o usuário e o profissional de saúde e da qual extraiu elementos para analisar a contribuição que essa interação tem para a não-adesão ao regime terapêutico. A autora concluiu que a interação, por ser pautada no modelo biomédico, centralizada no profissional de saúde, desigual, assimétrica e distanciada, tem elementos que podem estar contribuindo para a não- adesão do usuário ao regime terapêutico. Concluiu também que a principal ação que o profissional de saúde utiliza para promover a adesão do usuário ao regime terapêutico – a conscientização – tem sido ineficaz uma vez que se baseia no modelo tradicional de educação em saúde e no qual o usuário não é considerado como sujeito. Outra conclusão é a de que o usuário, por estar administrando o regime terapêutico à sua maneira, tem feito indicações ao profissional de saúde sobre sua forma de ver, entender e conviver com a hipertensão arterial e o regime terapêutico que nem sempre é congruente com o que o profissional de saúde quer e espera dele. Esta pesquisa aponta para a necessidade do profissional de saúde e outras instâncias políticas de decisão repensarem a interação profissional / usuário nos moldes que tem acontecido atualmente e para a necessidade de mudanças no modo de pensar e agir em relação ao usuário e com ele. / The aims of this research were to understand the perspective of the health professional and the hypertensive user about the interaction that occurs between them in the context of the service in health units and to analyze how this interaction contributes to the non-adherence to the therapeutic regime. The methodology applied for the development of the study was the Grounded Theory and the theoretical reference used for the analysis of the data and interpretation of the results was the Symbolic Interacionism, as well as existing literature on the subject. In all, fifteen health professionals and ten users were involved in the research. At the end, six categories were found (two of which were central) and other subcategories which, after an elaborated process of comparisons, relations and integration composed the theoretical proposal that the author made about the interaction between the user and the health professional and from which some elements were extracted in order to analyze the contribution that this interaction makes to the nonadherence to the therapeutic regime. The author concluded that the interaction, being based in the biomedical model, was centered in the health professional, was unequal, asymmetric and distant, and has elements that could be contributing to the user non-adherence to the therapeutic regime. It was also concluded that the main action that the health professional uses to make the user adhere to thetherapeutic regime – making the user aware of it – has been ineffective because it is based on the traditional model of health education in which the user is not considered individually. Another conclusion is that the user since he is managing the therapeutic regime in his own way has made indications to the health professional of his way of seeing, understanding and dealing with the arterial hypertension and the therapeutic regime that is not always congruent with what the health professional wants and expects of him. This research points to the necessity of the health professional and other policy-making forums to rethink the health professional/user interaction in the molds that have happened currently, and for the necessity of change in the way of thinking and of acting in relation to and with the user.

No. of bitstreams: 1 AnaLS.pdf: 754560 bytes, checksum: 4352ce162cb36ae915a586c0706ec693 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-11-30 / We study the health care focused on care in an intercessor and dialogical relationship with the User, which involves the construction of therapeutic projects essential to the quality of the treatment of the user in health services, and it is necessary individual and collective actions. It is intended to acknowledge and analyze the perception of social subjects, users and professionals on the treatment given to a user of a Specialized Outpatient Service (Servi?o Ambulatorial Especializado SAE) in STD/HIV/AIDS state reference in Natal, RN. The study is structured in a transdisciplinary vision of science and knowledge, theoretical and methodological principles that give meaning to the expression of the institutional features of care and health care reconnecting them to the social context. As a research strategy we seek the expressions of 56 subjects of social research, which agreed to participate in the sample, from a symbolic map of the attention, coupled with the techniques of observation and semi-structured interview. For the analysis of the results, five categories of analysis were established: the meaning of the service, care perception, process of communication and interaction, treatment perception and organization and evaluation of the service. It is argued that the attention and care are developed in a technical health care assistance to the disease, focusing on attention based on treatment, on diagnostic and drug therapy of antiretroviral drugs, reflecting the traditional biomedical paradigm of attention to the disease. This is also the mode of organization of practical actions in daily SAE: the therapy proves to be fragmented in several specialties, vertical and feeds the same model, generating tension and overload for professionals; showing impersonal care focused on structured and informative technology, unrelated to an interactive dialogic. From the speech of the subjects, the SAE is understood as the place of confrontation with the disease, but also enables greater elaboration of the illness by meeting their peers. Living with HIV and AIDS is living with concern, apprehension and fear, but mainly with the stigma, prejudice and exclusion, which require that the disease is kept in secret. There is a movement of forces and power, expressed in the knowledge-power of those who dominate the technical and administrative capabilities, devices that concentrate the maintenance of the medicalization of care, rapid consultations and with little attention, making it difficult to interact with and listen to, combined with structural failures, organizational and inadequate management of the service. We conclude that there are dimensions that are not considered in the internal dynamics of the care service multiple forms, characterized by care conflicting models, marked by individual interventions related to the disease. The subject is not considered together with his speech as technical discourse is imposed and care production based on material technology is observed / Estuda-se a aten??o ? sa?de centrada no cuidar, em uma rela??o intercessora e dial?gica com o usu?rio, que envolve a constru??o de projetos terap?uticos essenciais para a qualidade do tratamento do usu?rio nos servi?os de sa?de, sendo fundamentais a??es individuais e coletivas. Tem-se como objetivo conhecer e analisar a percep??o dos sujeitos sociais, usu?rios e profissionais, sobre o tratamento dispensado ao usu?rio de um Servi?o Ambulatorial Especializado em DST/HIV/Aids, refer?ncia estadual em Natal, RN. Articulam-se, em uma vis?o transdisciplinar da ci?ncia e do conhecimento, referenciais te?rico-metodol?gicos que possam dar sentido ? express?o das caracter?sticas institucionais da aten??o e do cuidado em sa?de, religando-as ao contexto social. Como estrat?gia de pesquisa, buscam-se as express?es dos 56 sujeitos sociais da investiga??o, que aceitaram participar da amostra, a partir de uma cartografia simb?lica da aten??o, associada a t?cnicas de observa??o e entrevista semi-estruturada. Para an?lise dos resultados, estabeleceram-se cinco categorias de an?lise: significado do servi?o, percep??o do atendimento; processo de comunica??o e intera??o; percep??o do tratamento e organiza??o e avalia??o do servi?o. Discute-se que a aten??o e o cuidado desenvolvem-se em uma assist?ncia tecno-assistencial ? doen?a, centrados em uma aten??o focada no tratamento, na solicita??o de exames e na terap?utica medicamentosa dos anti-retrovirais, reflexo do paradigma tradicional biom?dico de aten??o ? doen?a. Este tamb?m ? o modo de organiza??o das a??es pr?ticas no cotidiano do SAE: a conduta terap?utica mostra-se fragmentada nas diversas especialidades, verticalizada e retro-alimentada no mesmo modelo, gerando tens?o e sobrecarga aos profissionais; evidenciam-se atendimentos impessoais focados em tecnologias estruturadas e informativas, desvinculadas da dial?gica interativa. A partir dos discursos dos sujeitos, o SAE ? interpretado como o lugar do confronto com a doen?a, mas tamb?m possibilita maiores elabora??es do adoecer pelo encontro com os iguais. Conviver com o HIV e Aids ? conviver com receios, apreens?o e medo, mas principalmente com o estigma, o preconceito e a exclus?o, o que requer o sigilo da doen?a. H? circula??o de for?as e de poder, expressos no saber-poder t?cnico-profissional e administrativo, dispositivos que concentram a manuten??o da medicaliza??o do atendimento, consultas r?pidas e com pouca aten??o, o que dificulta a intera??o e a escuta, aliados a falhas estruturais, organizacionais e a um gerenciamento inadequado do servi?o. Conclui-se que h? dimens?es n?o consideradas na din?mica interna das m?ltiplas formas do cuidar, caracterizado pelo modelo conflitante da aten??o, marcado por interven??es individuais relacionadas ? doen?a. Desconsidera-se o sujeito de seu discurso, imputando-lhe discursos tecnicistas, e observa-se a produ??o do cuidado baseada na tecnologia material
