Acesso e utilização do serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência de Porto Alegre por usuários com demandas clínicas / Access and use of the mobile emergency medical service of Porto Alegre by users with clinical demands

Marques, Giselda Quintana January 2010 (has links)
O estudo tem por objetivos analisar a utilização do Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência (SAMU) pelos usuários com demandas clínicas, a organização do atendimento, as interfaces com os Serviços de Saúde e a regulação do acesso dos usuários aos cuidados e ao Sistema Municipal de Saúde. A estratégia de investigação foi triangulação de métodos. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados por meio de registros informatizados do sistema de informações da Central de regulação de urgência de Porto Alegre, referentes às solicitações clínicas atendidas, totalizando 779 atendimentos. Os dados qualitativos foram obtidos por meio de observação livre e por entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 25 profissionais. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados no Programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), pela utilização de técnicas de estatística descritiva e inferencial, com nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05). Os dados qualitativos foram analisados pela abordagem dialética, contemplando as particularidades, historicidade e contexto social dos dados empíricos.Os resultados foram apresentados em núcleos principais: utilização do SAMU pelos usuários com demandas clínicas; organização do atendimento no SAMU e o acesso aos cuidados no Sistema Municipal de Saúde. As demandas foram motivadas por situações que ultrapassam a dimensão clínico-biológica e de risco imediato à vida, tendo relação com o contexto socioeconômico do usuário, as características da organização da atenção às urgências, à solidariedade, à pressão social e à necessidade de informação. O usuário/solicitante demanda o SAMU para responder a suas necessidades, mesmo naquelas situações em que a demanda não corresponde aos critérios de prioridade estabelecidos. As respostas efetivas às solicitações garantem ao serviço a credibilidade e a confiabilidade necessárias ao seu funcionamento A organização da assistência influencia a utilização pelos usuários, assim como regula o acesso da população ao atendimento de urgência. Os profissionais têm entendimentos diferenciados sobre a pertinência das solicitações, apesar da existência de protocolos e normatizações. As peculiaridades dos agravos clínicos fazem com que a atuação próxima da realidade de usuários predisponha os profissionais a um senso crítico que lhes permite um olhar diferenciado e contextualizado das situações de urgência, embora essa percepção nem sempre beneficie o usuário. É o médico regulador quem regula o acesso aos cuidados realizados pelas equipes. O trabalho integrado dos profissionais possibilita ao usuário o acesso inicial ao Sistema Municipal de Saúde, embora nem sempre garanta a continuidade dos cuidados iniciados na urgência. Dependente do tipo de agravo e da gravidade da situação, o usuário é forçado a procurar, novamente, as unidades de urgência para resolução do mesmo problema. Recomenda-se aumentar a responsabilidade das ações de saúde, com participação de todos os envolvidos, ampliando a resolutividade. Os resultados evidenciaram o perfil epidemiológico das demandas e as lacunas de atendimento, propiciando uma reflexão sobre o atendimento de urgência, sua operacionalização e inserção no contexto da atenção à saúde. / The study is aimed at analyzing the use of the Mobile Emergency Care Service - SAMU (original acronym in Portuguese standing for Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência) by users with clinical demands, the organization of the attendance, the interfaces with the Health Services, and the regulation of the user’s access to health care in the Municipal Health System. Method triangulation was the strategy used for investigation. Quantitative data was obtained using electronic records from the information system of the Porto Alegre Center for Emergency Regulation, referring to the clinical situations attended, totaling 779 cases. Qualitative data were collected by free observation and by semi-structured interviews with 25 professionals. The quantitative data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), using descriptive and inferential statistics with significance at 5% (p<0.05). Qualitative data analysis was performed using the dialectic approach, addressing the particularities, historicity and social contexts of the empirical data. The results were presented in main nuclei: SAMU services to users with clinical demands; service organization of SAMU and access to health care in the Municipal Health System. The demands were motivated by situations that surpass the clinical-biological dimension and with a low immediate risk to life, associated with the socioeconomic context of users, the features of emergency service organization, solidarity, social pressure and the need for information. Users/demanders require SAMU to answer their needs, even in situations when the demand does not correspond to the established priority criteria. The effective answers to the demands assign the necessary credibility and trustworthiness to the service. Service organization affects how individuals use it, and regulates population access to emergency care. Different professionals have different understandings about the pertinence of the requests, despite the existence of protocols and norms. The specificities of the users’ clinical problems imply providing care close to their reality and, thus, predispose professionals to developing a critical perspective that offers them a differentiated and contextualized look over emergency situations, though that perception not always benefits the user. The attending physician is responsible for determining the access to the care from the health teams. The integrated work of professionals gives users initial access to the Municipal Health System, though it does not always guarantee the continuity of the care initiated at the emergency service. Depending on the type of complication and the severity of the situation, the user was forced to turn, once again, to emergency care centers to solve the same problem. The responsibility of health actions should be increased, counting with the participation of all those involved, increasing the solution of problems. Results showed the epidemiological profile of the demands and the service gaps, promoting a reflection about emergency care, how to make it operational and adding context to health care.

Avaliação do complexo regulador do sistema público municipal de serviços de saúde / Evaluation of the regulator complex of the municipal public system of health services

Janise Braga Barros Ferreira 03 October 2007 (has links)
Este estudo avaliou a repercussão da implantação Complexo Regulador (CR) do Sistema Público Municipal de Serviços de Saúde para a rede de atenção de Ribeirão Preto-SP. Teve por aporte teórico a avaliação em saúde e como objetivos específicos: avaliar o alcance do CR, de acordo com a dimensão cobertura, nos anos de 2004, 2005 e 2006; avaliar o efeito do CR de acordo com a dimensão efetividade social. Estudo de avaliação normativa e pesquisa avaliativa, sendo adotada abordagem quanti-qualitativa. O cenário foi o CR, em RP/SP, em seu espaço funcional e organizacional de operação das ações regulatórias do sistema de atenção, implantado na Secretaria Municipal da Saúde. As fontes primárias, produzidas junto aos trabalhadores de diferentes categorias profissionais que atuavam na gestão e no nível operacional do CR, foram coletadas por meio de entrevista estruturada tendo como eixo temático: implantação do CR, sua função de ferramenta operacional para atenção básica e a relação entre a intervenção proposta e os resultados alcançados. As fontes secundárias foram: documentos oficiais existentes sobre o CR, Atas do Conselho Municipal de Saúde; artigos de jornais locais, Sistema de Informação Ambulatorial e Hospitalar do DATASUS. Para organização dos indicadores de análise, elaborou-se planilha específica, com dados relativos aos indicadores de cobertura: Indicador de Consultas Básicas; Indicador de Consultas Especializadas, Indicador de Internações de Baixa e Média Complexidade; Indicador de Internações de Alta Complexidade. Na análise dos dados primários, foi realizada a análise temática, sendo articulada à análise dos indicadores produzidos. O estudo mostrou que: o CR provocou alterações na acessibilidade organizacional e eqüidade da rede de saúde, tanto na atenção ambulatorial quanto hospitalar; destacou necessidade de constituição de rede solidária de atenção e apresentou a potência da estratégia em ser ferramenta profícua de avaliação e de gestão. A implantação do CR alterou significativamente o processo de trabalho dos sujeitos. A avaliação ainda apontou que, apesar do pouco tempo de implantação, a estratégia do CR é potencialmente capaz de colaborar na sustentabilidade do SUS, mas se fazem necessários: investimento, divulgação e aperfeiçoamento. / This study aimed to evaluate the publicity of the implementation of the Regulator Complex (CR) of the Municipal Public System of Health Services for the care network of Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil. The health evaluation provided the theoretical framework and the specific objectives were: evaluate the CR scope according to the coverage dimension in 2004, 2005 and 2006; evaluate the CR effect in terms of social effectiveness. This is a normative evaluation and an evaluative research with a quantitative qualitative approach. The scenario was the CR in RP/SP in its functional and organizational space of regulatory actions operation of the care system implemented in the Municipal Secretary of Health. The primary sources produced with workers of different professional categories who acted in the CR management and in its operational level were collected through structured interview according to the following thematic axis: implementation of the CR, its function as operational tool for the primary care and the relation between the proposed intervention and the results accomplished. The secondary sources were: CR official documents, Minutes of the Municipal Council of Health; local newspapers, outpatient and hospital DATASUS Information System. For the organization of the analysis indexes, a specific data sheet was elaborated, with data related to the coverage indexes: Primary Consultation index; Specialized Consultation Index, Low and Medium Complexity Hospitalizations Index; High Complexity Hospitalization Index. The thematic analysis was used for the primary data which was coordinated with the indexes produced. The study showed that: the CR caused alterations on the organizational accessibility and equity in the health network, both in the outpatient and the hospital care; highlighted the need of creating a comprehensive care network and presented the power of the strategy as a proficient evaluation and management tool. The CR implementation changed significantly the subjects\' work process. The evaluation also pointed that despite the little time of implementation, the CR strategy has potential to benefit the SUS sustainability, though investment, publicity and improvement are necessary.

Entretanto, no Brasil há poucos estudos sobre filas de espera nos serviços de saúde. Este é um estudo de caso que pretende contribuir acrescentando métrica nessa discussão e fundamentando-a em torno da viabilidade econômico-financeira das decisões em saúde e da regulação, de modo mais amplo. Partindo do contexto de um hospital municipal da zona sul da cidade de São Paulo, analisamos dois cenários diferentes, a demanda proveniente da atenção básica para consulta com especialista, que nem sempre termina na indicação de cirurgia, e as filas de espera internas ao hospital para cirurgia ginecológica, de pacientes já avaliadas e com cirurgia indicada, aguardando seu agendamento. Da análise desses dados, traçamos um novo modelo de gerenciamento da fila de espera para cirurgia ginecológica eletiva nesse hospital. Nossa proposta não tem o objetivo de atingir espera zero. Tampouco é fundamentada em estratégia única. Nossa principal conclusão é que a estratégia mais eficiente para o gerenciamento das filas de espera envolve o fortalecimento das ações de integração com a rede de atenção. No Sistema Único de Saúde, o olhar de linha de cuidado, pode viabilizar efetivamente a entrega de maior valor na assistência prestada e pode ser feita através de iniciativas locais. / Waiting lists are a chronic problem in countries that opted for universal health systems. However, there are few studies on waiting lists in health services in Brazil. This case study aims to contribute by adding metrics to this discussion and grounding it around the economic-financial viability of health care decisions and access regulation in a broader way. Starting from the context of a municipal hospital in the south of the city of São Paulo, we analyzed two different scenarios: the demand for primary care for consultation with a specialist, which does not always end with the recommendation of surgery, and inpatient waiting lists, which have patients that were already evaluated and are waiting for the surgery. From this data analysis, we draw a new management model of gynaecologic elective surgery waiting list in this hospital. Our proposal does not aim to achieve zero wait, nor is it based on a single strategy. Our main conclusion is that the most efficient strategy for the waiting lists management involves the strengthening of health care networks’ integration actions. In the Unified Health System it can effectively enable the delivery of greater value in the assistance provided and can be done through local initiatives.

Inclusive health promotion : public health remedy for people with disabilities

Mabaso-Motlatla, Rebecca 06 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to explore the views of adults with disabilities and their care providers with regard to extent to which health promotion implementation was facilitated within Protective Workshops across several service areas in South Africa. Quantitative and Qualitative Data was collected via a combination of data collection approaches that included the use of a descriptive survey, a self-administered questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. Structured questionnaires and an interview schedule were used to generate data from both the patient and care provider participants in each of the selected facilities. Participants with disabilities and care providers working in the Protective Workshops were identified and sampled through a multi-stage sampling procedure. Participants from 48 facilities participated in the study. The findings revealed that health promotion in Protective Workshops was cursory and informal. Even though health education was provided whenever the need arose, it was neither individualized nor customized in accordance with reasonable accommodation of people with disabilities. There were provincial differences in terms of the levels of participation and organizational support for people with disabilities. In certain cases bureaucratic obstacles were identified during field work. Results show inconsistency regarding access to equal opportunities for people with disabilities, albeit some agreed to a lesser extent (30.5%), others moderately (21.5%) compared to only 22.6% who agreed, were exceeded by 25% of respondents who completely disagreed to the notion that equal opportunities existed for people with disabilities. The latter was confirmed by care providers. The study recommended an urgent need for the development of inclusive health promotion, the enforcement of the requirements for reasonable accommodation and adherence to policy and legal imperatives. / Health Studies / D.

Chlamydia Trachomatis Persistence in Vitro: An Overview

Wyrick, Priscilla B. 15 June 2010 (has links)
Chlamydiae growing in target mucosal human epithelial cells in vitro can transition from their normal developmental cycle progression, alternating between infectious but metabolically inactive elementary bodies to metabolically active but noninfectious reticulate bodies (RBs) and back to elementary bodies, into a state of persistence. Persistence in vitro is defined as viable but noncultivable chlamydiae involving morphologically enlarged, aberrant, and nondividing RBs. The condition is reversible, yielding infectious elementary bodies after removal of the inducers, including penicillin, interferon-gamma, iron or nutrient starvation, concomitant herpes infection, or maturation of the host cell into its physiologically differentiated state. All aberrant RB phenotypes are not the same, owing to differing up- or down-regulated chlamydial gene sets and subsequent host responses. Although all persistence-inducing conditions exist in vivo, key questions include (1) whether or not aberrant chlamydial RBs occur in vivo during the alternating acute-silent chronic-acute chlamydial infection scenario that exists in infected patients and animals and (2) whether such aberrant RBs can contribute to prolonged, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and scarring.

The politics of health care reform: a comparative analysis of South Africa, Sweden and Canada

Usher, Kimberley 11 1900 (has links)
Text in English / South Africa is currently in the process health care reform as the Government has undertaken the task of providing universal health care to all South Africans through the implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHI). This study took an in-depth look at the history and progression of the post-1994 South African health care policy, and applied the Power Resources Theory to the political economy of the current health care reform process in South Africa. Through a comparative study of the pivotal elements in the phases of health reform in Canada and Sweden this study drew lessons for the design and implementation of universal public health care provision in South Africa. This study found that a strong culture of care, strong political will, active civil society participation and a focus on equality as opposed to poverty in the creation of policy is essential to a successful implementation of universal health care. / Sociology / M.A. (Sociology)

Pessoa com deficiência física, necessidades de saúde e integralidade do cuidado: análise das práticas de reabilitação no SUS / People with physical disability, health needs and comprehensive care: analysis of rehabilitation practices in the SUS

Santos, Maria da Conceição dos 17 November 2017 (has links)
Na atualidade, a deficiência é conceituada com base em seu caráter dinâmico e biossocial. O processo funcionalidade/incapacidade decorre da interação entre a pessoa com deficiência e os fatores contextuais presentes no ambiente físico e societal, sendo eles determinantes para a participação social. Universalidade, integralidade e equidade formam o tripé do ideário da Reforma Sanitária brasileira, trazendo para o centro das práticas de saúde as demandas e as necessidades de saúde da população. Vários estudos no campo da Saúde Coletiva problematizam as práticas e os modelos de atenção em saúde no Sistema Único de Saúde brasileiro, postulando que o trabalho em saúde tem como finalidade das práticas assistenciais a prestação de serviços com fins de satisfazer demandas e necessidades de saúde daqueles que buscam esses serviços. Entretanto, poucos deles recortaram a temática das práticas de reabilitação na perspectiva da integralidade do cuidado, da funcionalidade humana e da participação social da população de pessoas com deficiência física adquirida. Por meio do método de pesquisa qualitativa se objetivou analisar - a partir do percurso de busca de cuidados - como as necessidades de saúde de pessoas com deficiência física são contempladas nas práticas de saúde e reabilitação, desde a perspectiva da integralidade do cuidado e da funcionalidade humana. O ciclo de pesquisa envolveu uma fase exploratória, com pesquisa documental, e uma fase de campo, na qual foram feitas doze entrevistas abertas com pessoas com deficiência física adquirida na idade adulta, incluindo seus cuidadores, acerca dos percursos de busca de cuidados na rede loco-regional do Sistema Único de Saúde, no município de Santos, estado de São Paulo. Empregou-se a análise temática das entrevistas com apoio do software NVivo11®, enriquecidas com os dados da pesquisa documental, adotando-se a abordagem interpretativa-compreensiva de perspectiva crítico-hermenêutica na discussão, com base no aporte teórico do estudo e em autores que discutem o tema investigado. Os participantes do estudo foram onze homens e uma mulher, com idades variando entre 21 e 79 anos, indicados pelos serviços de atenção básica (n= 8) e atenção domiciliar (n= 4). Segundo informações declaradas pelos participantes, as deficiências decorreram de afecções neurológicas (n= 10) e ortopédicas (n= 2), determinando quadros motores de paralisias e amputações, respectivamente. O tempo transcorrido desde o adoecimento foi de 17 anos para o caso mais antigo; o mais recente ocorrera há menos de trinta dias até o momento da entrevista. Sete deles necessitavam de moderada a completa assistência de terceiros nas atividades de vida diárias e três deles tiveram complicações secundárias, de ordem biológica e/ou psicossocial, após a condição de deficiência física. A análise dos dados produzidos resultou em dois temas centrais. O primeiro identificou aspectos da complexidade das necessidades de saúde inter-relacionados com o conjunto das circunstâncias que compõem a vida doméstica e comunitária dos participantes e elementos sobre as nuances dos encontros terapêuticos entre profissionais de saúde e usuários, que ora se aproximaram ora se afastaram da perspectiva de integralidade do cuidado. Tais necessidades, quando não atendidas, provocaram situações de vulnerabilidades clínicas, sociais e experiências de incapacidade e exclusão social, desvelando, ainda, vulnerabilidades programáticas dos serviços e programas. Com isso se assevera o valor do conceito ampliado de saúde e de funcionalidade, pautado nos saberes interdisciplinares, centrado no usuário e no trabalho interprofissional em direção à integralidade do cuidado nas práticas de reabilitação. O segundo tema revelou aspectos da organização da rede de serviços que antagonizam e tensionam os princípios finalísticos do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS): fragmentação da assistência, fragilidades no acolhimento às demandas e necessidades dos participantes; carência de ferramentas de compartilhamento de informações entre serviços e profissionais intra e interserviços; exiguidade na abordagem dos fatores contextuais; insuficiência nas ações voltadas à orientação e informação que minimizem a dependência de assistência de terceiros no manejo das atividades de vida diária e eliminação de barreiras contextuais. Conclui-se que a reabilitação é um processo multidimensional dinâmico e complexo, que depende de saberes interdisciplinares para melhor direcionar o trabalho em equipe interprofissional tomando as demandas e necessidades de saúde, funcionalidade e participação social individuais e comuns das pessoas com deficiência como seu horizonte normativo para produção das boas práticas de reabilitação. Acredita-se que seja ao tomar o caminho da ética do cuidado e da valorização dos direitos humanos como princípios orientadores das práticas profissionais se fará possível - a profissionais, serviços e usuários - tecer a rede de atenção à saúde, com os fios e linhas da integralidade do cuidado investindo-se em todas as possibilidades e nuances dos projetos de felicidade dos sujeitos / Currently, disability is conceptualized based on its dynamic and biosocial character. The functioning/disability process stems from the interaction between the disabled person and the contextual factors present in the physical and societal environment, which are fundamental to social participation. Universality, integrality and equity form the tripod of the ideology of the Brazilian Sanitary Reform, bringing the population\'s demands and health needs to the center of health practices. Several studies in the field of Public Health problematize practices and models of health care in the Brazilian National Unified Health System (SUS), postulating that health working aims to provide health care services to meet the demands and health needs of those who seek for such services. However, few of them highlighted the theme of rehabilitation practices based on the perspective of comprehensive care, human functioning and social participation of the population with acquired physical disability. By means of the qualitative research method - as from the quest for health care pathways, this study aimed to analyze how health care needs of people with physical disability are approached by health and rehabilitation practices, according to the perspective of comprehensive care and human functioning. The research cycle involved an exploratory phase, with documentary research, and a field phase, in which twelve interviews were conducted with people with physical disability acquired in adulthood, including their caregivers, about the health care pathways in the locoregional network of the Brazilian National Unified Health System, in the city of Santos, state of São Paulo. We have used interviews thematic analysis with the support of Nvivo11® software, enriched with data from the documentary research, and adopted an interpretative-comprehensive approach and a critical-hermeneutic perspective discussion data, also based on the study theoretical framework and authors who discuss the subject. Eleven men and one woman, ranging from 21 to 79 years old, participated in the study, and were referred by primary care (n = 8) and home care services (n = 4). According to reported information by the participants, the disabilities were due to neurological (n = 10) and orthopedic (n = 2) illness, that implicated on motor impairments such as paralysis and amputations, respectively. The elapsed time since illness was 17 years for the oldest case and the most recent one occurred less than thirty days before the interview. Seven of them demanded moderate to total assistance in activities of daily living and three of them sustained secondary conditions due to biological and/or psychosocial complications due physical disability. The analysis of produced data resulted in two central themes. The first one identified aspects of the complexity of health needs interrelated with the set of circumstances which constitutes the participants\' domestic and community life and elements about the nuances of the therapeutic meetings between health professionals and clients, meetings that sometimes get closer, sometimes move away from the perspective of comprehensive care. When health needs were not met, they created situations of clinical and social vulnerability and experiences that potentializes disability and social exclusion, revealing programmatic vulnerabilities related to services and programs organizations. This situation highlights the value of the comprehensive health and functioning concepts based on interdisciplinary knowledge, inter professional team working and client centered towards an effective comprehensive approach in rehabilitation practices. The second theme revealed aspects of the service network organization which antagonize and tension the finalist principles of the Brazilian National Unified Health System: fragmentation of care, fragility attendance on health demands and needs; lack of tools to share information between intra and inter health professionals and services; lack to approach contextual factors barriers; insufficiency actions to promote independence and autonomy on activities of daily living. In conclusion, we highlighted that rehabilitation is multidimensional dynamic and complex and process, which must rely on interdisciplinary knowledge to best guide inter professional team working focusing on individual and common health needs, functioning and social participation of people with disability as a normative horizon to produce rehabilitation best practices. We have confidence that if we take the path of an ethical of care and value human rights as principles to guide professional practices, it will become possible for professionals, services and clients to weave the health care network with threads and lines of comprehensive care, and investing in all the possibilities and nuances of the subjects\' happiness projects

Framework for provision of essential medicines for the district health services

Zuma, Sibusiso Memory 12 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to develop a framework for provision of essential medicines for the district health services. A qualitative descriptive, exploratory and contextual action research design was followed. The data collection was conducted through site visits and semi structured interviews targeting the responsible pharmacists who were purposively selected on the basis of their expert knowledge and experiences from the eight of the nine provinces of the Republic of South Africa which is a developing country with limited resources for provision of healthcare services. The study found that there was no standardised framework for provision of essential medicines for the District Health Services. Based on the site visits and action research findings a proposed framework covering the selection, procurement, warehousing, distribution and management support components for provision of essential medicines for district health services was developed and subjected to national pharmaceutical experts and district health services managers review and critique which is finally presented, after taking into consideration the experts inputs as a proposed framework emanating from the study. The proposed framework will contribute towards improving the provisioning and availability of essential medicines within the district health services. / Health Studies / D.Litt. et Phil.
