O preparo e produção de material didático para cursos on-line demanda o trabalho de uma equipe multidisciplinar (com técnicos e especialistas de diferentes áreas) junto aos professores-autores. A organização e o processo de produção são complexos e específicos para cada projeto e instituição de ensino. Nesta pesquisa, o objetivo é analisar como ocorreu o processo colaborativo de produção de material didático no curso semipresencial de Licenciatura em Ciências da USP/UNIVESP (no período de 2013). Este estudo é definido como pesquisa qualitativa, identificada como estudo de caso. Para alcançar os objetivos previstos foi realizada coleta de dados documentais e entrevistas com profissionais que participaram do processo de criação. Para análise dos dados obtidos foi realizado inicialmente o levantamento de posicionamentos teóricos ligados aos principais termos que permeiam o estudo. Por meio de análise de conteúdo foram estabelecidas as relações entre a teoria estudada e os dados coletados. Ao final, conclui-se que, por se tratar de um trabalho em equipe, o conteúdo (texto) original precisa passar por alterações e adequações ao longo de todo o processo até se tornar material didático do curso (em seus diferentes formatos). Vale destacar que esse processo de produção é acompanhado, discutido e validado pelo professor em todas as suas etapas. Como em toda equipe multidisciplinar, a comunicação e as inter-relações entre os profissionais são constantes e significativas para o processo. É nesse contexto de trabalho em equipe (junto ao professorautor) que ocorrem momentos de cocriação didática, resultado de um trabalho colaborativo e de criação. Verificou-se que esse processo de atuação das equipes na produção de material didático tem momentos intercalados de trabalho individualizado e colaborativo. Apesar desse fluxo estar desenhado de forma linear, com etapas predefinidas, é nas inter-relações e trocas de conhecimentos, sugestões e adequações do conteúdo que ocorrem momentos de cocriação. Trata-se de um processo híbrido: linear e de cocriação. Linear em sua estrutura e forma de trabalho e de cocriação como parte natural das relações humanas e da produção coletiva de conhecimento. / The preparation and the production of didactic materials for on-line courses demand a multidisciplinary teamwork (technicians and specialists from different areas) along with teacherauthors. The organization and the process of production are complex and specific for each project and teaching institution. The objective of this research is to analyze how the collaborative process of the didactic material produced in the blended learning course of the Licentiate Degree in Science from USP/UNIVESP (conducted over a certain period of time. Qualitative approach has been adopted for this study, more specifically, a case study research. In order to accomplish our goals, we have conducted data collection by using review of documents as well as interviews with the professionals that participated in the creation process. For the purpose of analyzing the collected data, we have gathered diverse theoretical approaches related to the main topics of this study. By having the content analyzed, a relationship between the studied theory and the data collected has been established. In conclusion, due to the fact that it is the product of a teamwork, the original content (text) needs to go through some changes and adaptations during the whole process until the final version of the didactic material (in all its different formats) is completed. It is important to emphasize that every step during the process of production is attended, discussed and validated by the teacher-author. As in any multidisciplinary teamwork, the communication and the interrelationships are constant and meaningful to the process. It is in this context of teamwork (including the teacher-author) that the didactic co-creation occurs, being the result of collaborative and creation work. It has been verified that the groups worked in intercalated moments throughout the production of the material: as individuals or in collaboration. Despite the fact that there are predefined steps which are supposed to flow in a linear way, co-creation takes place during the interrelationships, the exchange of knowledge and suggestions and the adaptation of the content. It turns out to be a hybrid process: linear and co-creative. Linear in its structure and its way of working and co-creative as a natural part of human relationships and as a collective production of knowledge.

FundaÃÃo Cearense de Apoio ao Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnolÃgico / O reconhecimento internacional da AtenÃÃo PrimÃria à SaÃde (APS) como fundamento para um novo modelo de atenÃÃo à saÃde vem provocando mudanÃas no Ãmbito teÃrico-prÃtico de diversas categorias profissionais da saÃde e assistÃncia social, dentre elas a Psicologia. No Brasil, a APS constitui-se como a principal porta de entrada do usuÃrio aos serviÃos do Sistema Ãnico de SaÃde (SUS), tendo sido desenvolvida pela EstratÃgia de SaÃde da FamÃlia (ESF). Em que pese a notÃvel ampliaÃÃo da atuaÃÃo de psicÃlogas (os) na APS nos municÃpios de todas as regiÃes brasileiras, ainda sÃo poucos os estudos que pretenderam abordar o tema sobre a formaÃÃo e atuaÃÃo profissional neste contexto. Este estudo se insere no contexto das polÃticas pÃblicas da saÃde e discute as prÃticas de formaÃÃo na Psicologia, considerando as interfaces entre a saÃde coletiva, formaÃÃo e prÃtica profissional de psicÃlogas (os) como suporte Ãs Equipes de SaÃde da FamÃlia (EqSF). A constataÃÃo de que os serviÃos de saÃde, especificamente os Centros de SaÃde da FamÃlia (CSF) se constituem em recentes locais de atuaÃÃo de psicÃlogas (os) e que estas prÃticas se caracterizam como formas diferenciadas de atuaÃÃo se comparadas a outros contextos justifica a relevÃncia deste estudo. Trata-se de um estudo exploratÃrio de natureza qualitativa. Investigou aspectos demogrÃficos, da formaÃÃo e atuaÃÃo no contexto das polÃticas pÃblicas da saÃde. A pesquisa foi realizada em unidades de saÃde com 10 psicÃlogas (os) com pelo menos um ano de atuaÃÃo na APS. Para coleta de dados foi utilizado um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada. O tratamento de dados utilizou a anÃlise de conteÃdo de Bardin. Observou-se que as (os) psicÃlogas que atuam neste contexto vÃm enfrentando dificuldades relacionadas ao desempenho de atividades em equipe que se apresentam por fatores que vÃo desde a deficiÃncia na formaÃÃo profissional para a atuaÃÃo interdisciplinar dentro de um contexto multiprofissional atà dificuldades por estarem lotadas em unidades de saÃde que variam de duas a quatro, o que dificulta e reduz a capacidade de vinculaÃÃo entre as equipes de saÃde e os territÃrios de cobertura das Equipes de SaÃde da FamÃlia e dos NÃcleos de Apoio à SaÃde da FamÃlia (NASF). / The international recognition of the Primary Health Care (PHS) as the foundation for a new model of health care has led to changes in theory and practice of various professions of health and welfare, among them psychology. In Brazil, the PHS was established as the main entrance of the user services the Unified Health System (SUS) was developed by Family Health Strategy (FHS). Despite the remarkable expansion of the role of psychologists in the PHC in the municipalities of all Brazilian regions, there are few studies that have attempted to address the issue on the training and professional in this context. This study discusses the role of psychologists in the PHC in Fortaleza, to support the Family Health Teams (FHT). The finding that health services, specifically the Centers for Family Health (CFH) constitute recent local work of psychologists and that these practices are characterized as different forms of performance compared to other contexts justifies the relevance of this study. This is an exploratory study of qualitative nature. Investigated demographics, training and performance in the context of public health policies. The survey was conducted in health facilities with 10 psychologists with at least one year of work in the APS. For data collection we used a semi-structured interviews. Data processing used the content analysis of Bardin. We found that psychologists who work in this context are facing difficulties related to the performance of team activities that are presented by factors ranging from deficient training in an interdisciplinary within a multiprofessional context up to difficulties because they are packed in units of health range from two to four, making it difficult and reduces the ability to link between health teams and territories of coverage of Family Health Teams and the Family Health Support Teams (FHST).

This dissertation reports on the lived experiences of four child psychiatric nurses. The territory of child psychiatric nursing is explored in this investigation through the punctuation of many voices within this field of study. The methodology of the investigation is descriptive phenomenology and Colaizzis’ steps in descriptive phenomenology (map) are used to discover and describe the different template theories (the territory) that are unique to each of the four child psychiatric nurses who were interviewed. Following this, a story is punctuated, which is referred to as the structural synthesis. It is the heartbeat of the investigation. The dissertation concludes by reflecting on the paradox of how the invisibility of the child psychiatric nurses allowed for the visibility of the dissertation and encourages the reader to ask pivotal questions about the important role of the child psychiatric nurse, working as part of a multidisciplinary team, in order to improve patient care. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical psychology)

Text in English / Little is known about the current practice of the nurse practising as an independent private practitioner in South Africa. There is also limited information available about his/her needs for establishing and maintaining a private practice. In this exploratory, descriptive study the AFFIRM model was applied and specific data regarding the practice and needs of the nurse in private practice was collected through a questionnaire. Based on the analysed data, it would appear that the majority of private nurse practitioners are married females and fall into the age group below 44 years. Although a variety of nursing services are offered, quality control appears to be minimal. It was found that private nurse practitioners have specific learning needs particularly regarding business management skills, quality control and current nursing practices. Recommendations were made for the maintenance of standards in private practices and the introduction of short courses for nurses in private practice. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)

Dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Master of Technology: Quality in the Faculty of Engineering At the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2012 / New Product Development (NPD) is a complicated process that determines success or failure of any company engaging in product development processes. Over the past years, due to the current highly competitive market environment, poor management skills, lack of innovation and customer concern, many companies are struggling to develop new products while simultaneously maintaining high quality of each of these new products. Various studies described that quality management is critical to prolong the life cycle of new products. Thus, this study focused on the key success factors of NPD and integrated quality management strategies into NPD process. This study was conducted at a local plastic packaging and load securing company in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. A combination of both qualitative and quantitative research approaches was conducted. Both management (n1=5) the staff members (n2=24) who are involved in the NPD process were selected as samples. A semi-structured questionnaire and several interviews (in-depth and focused group) were utilised for data collection. A statistical programme (SPSS V20) was employed to generate descriptive statistical results and test the reliability of all the variables. The study results identified that the key quality determinants of the NPD process were are NPD reviews, verifications and validations. In addition, for the NPD process to be successful, the company should focus on the development of the NPD strategy, availability of skills and resources including NPD competence, product quality, empowered multidisciplinary teams and effective risk management. Based on the research findings, this study recommends that the company should have more focuses on the areas of customer dissatisfaction, product quality, and prototype planning in their NPD processes.

There is minimal research into families where a person who is receiving palliative care has dependent children. In particular, there is a lack of information about the work that palliative care social workers undertake with such families. This study examines the role of the palliative care social worker in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children of adults receiving specialist palliative care. This is a qualitative study involving the collection of information from a total of 57 palliative care social workers in three ways: focus groups, survey and semi-structured interviews. The analysis demonstrates that palliative care social workers understand the term 'safeguarding children' to mean more than child protection alone. The analysis also focuses on the process of referral, institutional barriers, supports for their work with children, and inter-agency collaboration. An equally important aspect of the analysis, and one generally neglected in psycho-social studies, relates to the socio-economic context of the palliative care social workers' work, including the effects of the immigration status of families on children. In the main, concerns about the present and future care of children come to the attention of palliative care social workers via members of the multidisciplinary team in which they are based. The numbers are reported to be relatively small in contrast to the total number of referrals received. The extent to which support to children is provided varies considerably; some palliative care agencies do not encourage palliative care social workers to work directly with children prior to bereavement and others restrict direct work with children post-bereavement. The main emphasis for all workers, however, is on support to the parents to help them understand their children's needs during the terminal phase of the illness. The well-being of children at this time of emotional stress is included in the palliative care social workers' definition of 'safeguarding children'. In addition, the wide-ranging examination of the palliative care social workers' involvement with the families illustrates the extent of the dedication involved in an under-resourced and little understood area of their work. Whilst palliative care social workers reported receiving basic training on child protection within their agency, with some themselves providing this training, further training on safeguarding children is not always available or known about. The amount and type of professional supervision and support is also varied, particularly in relation to child-care matters; not all have access to supervision from another social work professional. There are a small number of examples given in the study where children are considered to be at risk in some way. Children cared for by lone parents are recognised as being especially vulnerable, particularly if future care plans are not in place before the death of the parent. Also identified as vulnerable are children of parents whose immigration status is in question as their future location may be in doubt, placing children and the surviving parent under additional stress. One of the major difficulties for palliative care social workers is securing support services from local authority children's services. Whilst there are examples of collaboration and co-operation, the findings in this study echo those of others which examine the relationship between adult and children's services. In this study, palliative care social workers speak of frustration and disappointment in the responses they receive, and they are concerned that the needs of children of dying parents are not understood. This study contributes to the debate about the focus of children in care services for adults and how staff may be supported in their task of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. This study also adds to the limited existing knowledge about palliative care social work practice.
