Abstract:

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed behavior disorder in children. With the frequency of ADHD diagnoses, primary care providers (PCP) are challenged with managing this chronic and complex concern in an efficient yet effective way, both in terms of time and money. Research indicates behavioral diagnoses and management take approximately five minutes longer than medical-only concerns. This can result in a revenue loss for primary care practices. However, an on- site behavioral health consultant (BHC) can help PCPs provide a high standard of care for children presenting with behavioral concerns without compromising cost effectiveness. This study’s aim was to assess the cost per minute in a small rural primary care practice that utilizes an on-site BHC by comparing data between ADHD appointments when the BHC was utilized versus ADHD appointments when the BHC was not utilized. This study used extant data consisting of a sample of 53 children with ICD-9-CM codes 314.00 or 314.01, indicating an ADHD diagnosis. Of the 53 children with these codes, 40 (75.5%) were billed using E/M codes 99213 or 99214. The first of these indicates a regular office visit with an established patient not exceeding 15 minutes while the latter is used if the visit lasts longer than 25 minutes. Both codes were combined and evaluated together. The database was then recoded to indicate whether or not a BHC was utilized. Using descriptive statistics, it was found that children with ADHD spent a max of 69 minutes (20.19 minutes on average) with the PCP when a BHC was not utilized and a max of 22 minutes (13.67 minutes on average) when a BHC was utilized. Furthermore, an average of $82.79 in insurance reimbursement was received by the practice for these types of visits, regardless of up-coding for physician time spent. Using these statistics, it was determined that the practice makes $4.10 per minute when a BHC is not utilized versus $6.06 per minute when a BHC is utilized for ADHD appointments, due to the time savings ratio. The results indicate that utilization of a BHC increases revenue with respect to minutes spent with the child, while still providing behavioral health time and attention to the patient. These findings have practical implications for the treatment and management of ADHD and support the use of BHCs in pediatric primary care settings. Given the nature of pediatric primary care, it would be more cost effective for PCPs to utilize an on-site BHC with all ADHD visits.

Abstract:

The adherence to published guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) by primary care pediatricians (PDs) and family practice physicians (FPs), particularly those in rural areas, has not been well documented. This study examined survey responses from PDs and FPs who serve southern Appalachia (northeast Tennessee, southwest Virginia and Kentucky, and western North Carolina) regarding key practice parameters in line with the current American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines. Results showed that both PDs and FPs reported adhering to most of the diagnosis and treatment guidelines. PDs were more likely than FPs to report using both parent and teacher input in diagnosis and reported prescribing different medications for ADHD to some degree. Both practice areas reported ongoing access to continuing medical education, which is a means to enhancing care of ADHD patients. Implications for primary care are given with attention to the limited availability of PDs in rural areas and future areas of research in rural mental healthcare are suggested.

Desde as últimas décadas, o sistema de saúde brasileiro tem passado por transformações essenciais, imprimindo um percurso caracterizado por enfrentamentos, desafios e avanços. Com a criação e implantação do SUS, mudanças significativas e necessárias vêm acontecendo, principalmente no campo da Saúde Mental. Dentre elas, a reversão do modelo manicomial para políticas de base territorial, como o cuidado integral nas Redes de Atenção Psicossocial (RAPS). Com o olhar voltado para essa questão, a presente pesquisa cartografou o cotidiano do cuidado em saúde mental dos profissionais atuantes numa Unidade Básica de Saúde articulada a um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial I (CAPSI). Para tanto, empregamos o método qualitativo e cartográfico. Utilizamos ferramentas, tais como a observação sistemática, diário de campo, fluxograma e entrevista audiogravável com onze profissionais que atuam nas unidades mencionadas acima, de um município do interior paulista. Três autores foram base referencial para análise: Emerson Merhy, autor que subsidiou a temática do cuidado; Benedetto Saraceno, autor que sustentou a discussão pertinente à Reabilitação Psicossocial e Eugênio Vilaça Mendes, autor que discutiu o trabalho em Redes, com enfoque na Rede de Atenção Psicossocial (RAPS). Como resultado, foi constatado que apesar do acolhimento e acesso ofertados, os encontros e narrativas no território das redes conectivas da RAPS revelaram a fragilidade dos profissionais entrevistados frente aos cuidados em saúde mental na Atenção Primária, visto a percepção deturpada de que o cuidado é hegemônico e medicalizante, tendo o CAPS I como seu ordenador na maioria das vezes. Foi detectada, em algumas situações, uma mobilidade dos trabalhadores na rede, circulando entre os equipamentos de saúde. Isso favoreceu as conexões e fluxos entre equipes na construção das linhas de cuidado, sendo possível sentir as nuances das práticas em rede, dos novos serviços sob essa lógica que podem ser denominados espaços de produção de sujeitos sociais, de produção de subjetividades. A partir da cartografia, percebemos que a atenção em saúde mental no território pesquisado requer políticas intersetoriais, integradas, ampliando possibilidades, oportunidades e redimensionando a noção de direito e cidadania, bem como considerando o usuário como integrante da elaboração de projetos terapêuticos, fortalecendo o trabalho multiprofissional e qualificando os profissionais para as ações dirigidas ao cuidado. Destarte, a articulação de profissionais no campo da saúde mental em rede deve promover a constituição de um conjunto vivo e concreto de referências capazes de acolher a pessoa em sofrimento, sendo que esta rede, no entanto, não deve limitar-se aos serviços especializados.
Since the last decades, the Brazilian health system has gone through essential changes, establishing a path characterized by confrontations, challenges, and improvements. With the creation and implementation of the Unified Health System (SUS), necessary and substantial changes have been happening, mainly in the area of mental health. Among them, the reversal of the asylum model for territorial basis policies, such as the full care in the Psychosocial Care Networks (RAPS). Focusing on this issue, this research charted the mental health care of professionals from a Health Center linked to a Center for Psychosocial Attention I (CAPS). For this purpose we used the cartographic and qualitative method. We used tools, such as systematic observation, a field diary, a flowchart and a recordable interview with eleven professionals who work in the above-mentioned health centers of an inner city in the State of São Paulo. Three authors supported the analysis: Emerson Merhy, who subsidized the care topic; Benedetto Saraceno, who supported the discussion about Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Eugênio Vilaça Mendes, who discussed the work in Networks, focusing on the Psychosocial Care Network (RAPS). As a result, it was stated that despite the offered access and reception, the encounters and narratives in the area of connective network from RAPS revealed the fragility of the interviewed professionals facing mental health care in the Primary Health Care, considering the distorted perception that care is hegemonic and medicalized, often using the CAPSI I as its authorizing officer. It was detected, in some cases, a mobility of the workers in the network, transiting between health equipment. This fact promoted the connections and flows between teams in the construction of care lines, making it possible to feel the nuances of network practices in new services under this logic, which can be called production spaces of social individuals, of production and subjectivity. From this cartography, we noticed that the attention to mental health in the studied area requires integrated intersectoral policies, widening possibilities, opportunities and resizing the idea of human rights and citizenship, as well as considering the user as a member in the elaboration of therapeutic projects, reinforcing the multi-professional work and qualifying professionals to care related actions. Therefore, the articulation of mental health network professionals should promote the formation of a real and solid group of references capable of receiving the individual in pain, however, this network, should not limit itself to specialized services.

Abstract:

Buscamos neste trabalho, refletir a partir da experiência de profissionais, sobre a relação entre as práticas da Atenção Básica desenvolvidas em uma UBS e as diretrizes políticas do SUS a que elas se referemr. Realizamos uma breve retomada histórica das práticas de atenção em saúde, uma contextualização da Atenção Básica e de sua situação atual no Brasil, de modo a problematizar como esse contexto atravessa a prática diária. A partir da fala dos trabalhadores e de observações realizadas na UBS, identificamos um distanciamento, que nomeamos como lacunas, entre o trabalho que se prescreve a partir de diretrizes políticas e o trabalho efetivamente realizado. Na análise, identificamos contradições referentes a essas diretrizes e programas derivados para a Atenção Básica: poucos recursos e investimentos em um trabalho que demanda estudo de alta complexidade técnica e profundo conhecimento empírico da realidade para lidar com demandas da população. A complexidade desse setor se expressa entre os trabalhadores através de sentimentos ambíguos e contraditórios em relação à própria atuação profissional e à relação estabelecida com os usuários do sistema de saúde. As ressonâncias na subjetividade desses profissionais são diversas e temas como medo, carência e sentimento de impotência ganham destaque frente à dificuldade de compreensão das próprias práticas e das lacunas entre o que se prescreve e o que se implanta e implementa
We´vesought in this work, based on the health professionals´ experiences, to reflect on primary care practices developed in a UBS (Basic Health Unit) located in the state of São Paulo referred to SUS (Unified Heath System) policy guidelines. We conducted a brief historical research on health care practices, a contextualization of primary care and its current situation in Brazil, in order to discuss how that context goes through daily practice. Based on the spoken comments of workers and observations made in UBS, we identified a kind of distance, which we named as gaps between the work that is prescribed by policy guidelines and the work that is actually performed. In the analysis, we identified contradictions regarding these guidelines and related programs for primary care: few resources and investments in a job that requires studies of high technical complexity, as well as deep empirical knowledge of the reality to deal with demands of the population. The complexity of this sector is expressed by workers through ambiguous and contradictory feelings about their own professional performance, as well as in relationships established among them and the users of the health system. Resonances in the subjectivity of these professionals are several and themes, such as fear, lack of affection and a sense of powerlessness, gethighlighted by the difficult understanding of the practices themselves and the gaps between what is prescribed and what is implanted and implemented

Abstract:

As Úlceras Venosas (UV) desenvolvem-se devido à Insuficiência Venosa Crônica, caracterizada como uma condição crônica que afeta o estado de saúde das pessoas acometidas. Têm maior incidência em mulheres, 80% dos casos, com índice de prevalência de 70% em pessoas acima de sessenta anos. Seu tratamento gera elevados custos. A pessoa com UV necessita de acompanhamento e monitoramento, com terapia tópica envolvendo uso de produtos e recomendações baseadas em estudos com evidência científica. Na Atenção Básica, particularmente na Estratégia de Saúde da Família, há possibilidade de se ter acesso e aproximar-se destes usuários, como também de se estabelecer vínculo, atributos essenciais no cuidado ao usuário. Este trabalho teve como objetivos: identificar, a partir do usuário e/ou cuidador, o acesso do usuário com Úlcera Venosa que necessita de acompanhamento, em três equipes de saúde da família do Distrito Sanitário I de Uberaba-MG; descrever as dificuldades, facilidades e sentimentos dos usuários e/ou cuidadores de usuários com UV sobre os cuidados realizados para o tratamento da Úlcera Venosa no espaço domiciliar, pelas três equipes de saúde da família do Distrito Sanitário I de Uberaba-MG; descrever, a partir do usuário e/ou cuidador, como ocorre a atenção recebida no serviço de saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa. O estudo foi realizado no município de Uberaba, sendo sujeitos os usuários com diagnóstico de UV em um dos membros inferiores ou em ambos, atendidos em uma das três equipes de Saúde da Família até o mês de julho do ano de 2007, do Distrito Sanitário I. Ao total, foram cinco indivíduos que participaram da pesquisa, sendo quatro usuários de duas equipes participantes do estudo e um cuidador. Na terceira equipe não foi identificado nenhum portador de UV. Para obtenção dos dados, recorremos à entrevista semiestruturada, destinada aos usuários com UV e cuidadores, e, também à observação sistemática. Para análise e interpretação utilizamos a análise temática, sendo 8 identificado o acesso como unidade temática central, com os seguintes subtemas: determinados procedimentos, consulta médica, consulta médica no domicílio, realização do curativo no domicílio, orientação, tratamento adequado da ferida, medicamentos de uso sistêmico, especialista, horário de funcionamento, tempo de espera, tempo de consulta. Já com o cuidador, foi identificado como unidade temática o acesso com subtemas: socialização, outros níveis de atenção, conhecimento, materiais, recursos de diferentes naturezas. Em nosso estudo, foi possível identificar diferentes e diversas dimensões do acesso do usuário com Úlcera Venosa nos serviços de saúde. Os discursos apresentados no estudo revelam que o acesso e a acessibilidade apresentam restrições que comprometem a atenção dispensada. O melhor aspecto encontrado, relativo ao aceso, foi o tempo de consulta e o acesso ao agente comunitário de saúde, no domicilio. A rede se apresenta desarticulada entre os diferentes níveis, com falta de continuidade do tratamento da pessoa com ferida. O usuário é referenciado a um serviço de maior complexidade, sem o retorno ao serviço de atenção básica de forma sistematizada. O panorama aponta para investimentos, entre eles a adoção de um protocolo de atenção à pessoa portadora de UV.
Venous ulcers (VU) develop themselves due to the chronic venous insufficiency, characterized as a chronic condition which affects peoples health status. They have a higher incidence in women, 80% of the cases, with a prevalence index of 70% in people over sixty years old. Its treatment generates high costs. Person with VU needs following and monitoring with topic therapy involving the use of products and recommendations based on studies with scientific evidence. At primary care, particularly at Family Health Strategy, there is the possibility of having Access and getting closer to these users, as well as establishing attachments, attributes necessary to the users care. This work had as a goal to identifying, through the user and/or caregiver, the access of the user with venous ulcer who needs follow-up, in three teams of Family Health of the Sanitary District I, from Uberaba-MG; describing, through the user and/or caregiver, how the attention received in the Health Service occurs. This work is based on a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach. Study was performed in the city of Uberaba, being subjects the users with VU diagnosis in one of the lower limbs or in both of them, seen in one of the three teams of Family Health up to July, 2007, from the Sanitary District I. At the total, there were five subjects who participated in the research, being four users from two teams participating in the study and a caregiver. In the third team, no VU sufferers were identified. For obtaining data we relied on the semistructured interview for the VU sufferers and caregivers, and also on the systematic observation. For analysis and interpretation we used the thematic analysis, being the access identified as the central thematic unit, with the following sub-themes: some procedures, medical attendance, home medical attendance, home dressings, orientation, suitable treatment of the wound, systemic usage drugs, specialist, time of work, waiting time, and attendance time. With the caregiver it was identified the access with sub-themes as the thematic unit: socialization, other levels of attention, 12 knowledge, materials, resources from different natures. In our study it was possible to identifying different and several dimensions of the access of the user with VU in the Health Services. Speeches presented in the study showed that the access and the accessibility present restrictions which compromise the attention given. Related to the access, the best aspect found was the time of attendance and the access to the Community Healthcare Agent at home. The Net presents itself disarticulated among the different levels, with lack of continuity of the treatment of the sufferer. User is referred to a service of higher complexity, without going back to the service of primary care in a systematic way. Panorama points to investments, among them the adoption of a protocol of attention to the VU sufferer.

It is a study of the team apparatus in the primary health care services in their mental health activities and the work a between professions, understood as fundamental mechanisms for Psychiatric Reform from the perspective of Psychosocial Attention. The specific objectives were: 1) systemize the debate on the process of working as a team in the field of Psychiatric Reform; 2) identify and analyze the operation and dimensions of groupality and between professions in accompanied health team. The work was organized in two parts. The first dealt about the historical emergence of the team apparatus from the contributions of Psychiatric Reform in Europe around the work process. In this part we also present the concepts produced by brazilians professionals and researchers on the team work in the health field: Field and Core Competence and Responsibility, Common Clinic and the Between-professions, that were combined with the concept device, our analysis tools. The second part of this work was the realization of an intervention-research in a view to French Institutional Analysis, in a Basic Health Unit - the Mental Health Center, wat do the mental health care in a small town in the São Paulo State. This consisted in the accompaniment the activities of this service and realization four thematic meetings with the team about their work process. This service work it as a hybrid, performing, at the same time, practice as Basic Health Unit and how Mental Health Ambulatory and others who approach the work of a Psychosocial Care Center. Such hybrid arrangement suggests that there is this experience powers to forge under a small municipality the singularity of mental health care. In their work process this team operates professional borders and tensions in building one between-common, with the understanding that the multiplicity is an engine of this production, and at the same time, which is fundamental respect for differences of opinions and practices in daily. Is important that the health services, in addition to organizational activities, create possibilities for joint performances and encounters of professionals that weave the reflection of between-professions and do the common in team. The professionals of Mental Health Center have been challenged to exercise the protagonist in building a care mental health network in the city. But have faced doubt take on this role, the difficulties of short supply of services, equipment and programs, preconception and a medicalized view of psychic suffering present in this territory. In this context, we consider it necessary to discuss other financing possibilities and types of mental health services, which can take effect in small cities, the most in Brazil, according to your needs and possibilities
Trata-se de um estudo sobre o dispositivo equipe nos serviços da Atenção Básica à Saúde em suas ações de saúde mental e o trabalho entre profissões, entendidos como mecanismos fundamentais para a Reforma Psiquiátrica na perspectiva da Atenção Psicossocial. Os objetivos específicos foram: 1) sistematizar o debate sobre o processo de trabalho em equipe no campo da Reforma Psiquiátrica; 2) identificar e analisar o funcionamento e as dimensões de grupalidade e entre profissões da equipe de saúde acompanhada. O trabalho foi organizado em duas partes. A primeira tratou da emergência histórica do dispositivo equipe a partir das contribuições da Reforma Psiquiátrica na Europa em torno do processo de trabalho. Nesta parte também apresentamos os conceitos produzidos por profissionais e pesquisadores brasileiros sobre o trabalho em equipe no campo da saúde: Campo e Núcleo de Competência e Responsabilidade, Clínica Comum e o Entre-profissões, que foram, ao lado do conceito de dispositivo, nossas ferramentas de análise. A segunda parte deste trabalho foi a realização de uma pesquisa-intervenção, na perspectiva da análise institucional francesa, junto a uma Unidade Básica de Saúde – o Centro de Saúde Mental – que realiza o atendimento em saúde mental em um pequeno município do interior do Estado de São Paulo. Esta consistiu no acompanhamento das atividades deste serviço e na realização de quatro encontros temáticos com a equipe em torno do seu processo de trabalho. Este serviço funciona como um híbrido, realizando ao mesmo tempo práticas como Unidade Básica de Saúde e como Ambulatório de Saúde Mental e outras que se aproximam do trabalho de um Centro de Atenção psicossocial. Tal disposição híbrida sugere que há nesta experiência potências para forjar no âmbito de um município pequeno a singularidade da atenção em saúde mental. No seu processo de trabalho esta equipe opera as fronteiras profissionais e as tensões na construção de um entre-comum, com o entendimento que a multiplicidade é um motor desta produção, e ao mesmo tempo, que é fundamental o respeito às diferenças de opiniões e práticas no dia a dia. Deste modo, evidencia-se que é importante que os serviços de saúde, além das atividades organizativas, criem possibilidades de atuações conjuntas e de encontro dos profissionais que favoreçam a tessitura e reflexão do entre-profissional e o fazer do comum da equipe. Os profissionais do serviço acompanhado têm sido desafiados a exercer o protagonismo da construção de uma rede de cuidado em saúde mental no município. Mas têm enfrentado dúvidas de assumir este protagonismo e as dificuldades da pouca oferta de serviços, equipamentos e programas, o preconceito e uma visão medicalizante do sofrimento psíquico presentes neste território. Neste contexto, consideramos necessária a discussão de outras possibilidades de financiamento e de tipos de serviços de saúde mental, que possam ser efetivadas nos pequenos municípios, a maioria dos existentes no país, de acordo com as necessidades e possibilidades que apresentam

Abstract:

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating disease with mean age of 59 years. SAH accounts for 5% of all stroke and more than one quarter of potential life years lost through stroke. With the advanced neurosurgical methods of today two thirds of the patients survive. We know, however, that various cognitive, psychiatric and physical impairments are common that affect quality of life, social life, and the ability to work in the aftermath of SAH. The overall aim constituting this PhD dissertation is to better understand some of the challenges often faced by those surviving SAH. Two SAH patient cohorts have been studied. The first followed 96 consecutively included patients during the first year after ictus. Spasticity and cognitive impairment was assessed after 6 months and the Swedish stroke register follow-up form was used to investigate family support and the use of medical and social services. Return to work was assessed at 12 months. The second cohort assessed attention deficits using the test of variables of attention (T.O.V.A.) at 7 months after ictus in 19 patients with moderate to good recovery. Spasticity was just as common in our SAH patients as after other stroke, though it was rarely treated pharmacologically. By assessing cognitive impairment at 6 months after ictus using the Montreal cognitive assessment, 68% of the patients could be correctly predicted as having returned/not returned to work at 12 months. Seventeen percent of the patients had not had a follow-up appointment 6 months after ictus. These patients were older, more often living alone, had a lower quality of life, more depressive symptoms and more cognitive impairment compared to those having had a follow-up appointment. Twenty percent had had a follow-up in primary care. Seventy-eight percent of those with moderate to severe disability were living in their own accommodations. Fifty-eight percent of the patients had attention deficits. Challenges after SAH were common and often dealt with in the home environment of the patients. The results of this thesis highlight the importance of assisting the patients and their relatives in their struggle back to life after SAH.

Abstract:

OBJECTIUS Conèixer l’efectivitat d’un programa de detecció de Tuberculosi (TB) des d’un Centre d’Atenció Primària (CAP) adreçat a immigrants provinents de països amb taxes d’alta prevalença de la malaltia, majoritàriament en el moment que venen a donar-se d’alta al centre. Comprovar l’adherència al programa, la detecció de TB, de la infecció tuberculosa latent (ITL), i valorar el grau de relació entre la prova de la tuberculina (PT) i les tècniques in vitro d’interferó Gamma Release Assays (IGRA) per a detectar la ITL. PACIENTS I MÈTODES El programa es va dur a terme a l’Àrea Bàsica de Salut (ABS) de la Barceloneta. Es va designar referents a tots els serveis que hi havien d’intervenir (Medicina, Infermeria i Unitat d’Atenció a l’Usuari (UAU) de l’ABS, Servei de Radiologia de l’Hospital del Mar i Laboratori de referència), i es van elaborar algoritmes de treball de cada una de les etapes del cribratge. Es varen incloure de forma majoritària immigrants que venien de països amb alta prevalença de la malaltia (>100/100.000 habitants) que consultaven per donar-se d’alta al CAP, i alguns que feia menys de 5 anys que residien al país. La metodologia incloïa, després del consentiment informat, una enquesta d’arribada, una PT i una radiografia (Rx) de tòrax (amb les excepcions d’embaràs o sospita i de menors de 18 anys). Una de les accions que es van valorar com a molt importants, per aconseguir que les persones finalitzessin el programa va ser realitzar les primeres proves (PT i Rx) en el moment mateix de l’arribada. A aquells que presentaven una Rx alterada o una PT positiva se’ls hi practicava la tècnica tècnica de detecció d’IGRA, i una anàlisi amb serologia d’hepatitis crònica i VIH. Els que presentaven alguna alteració eren derivats a visita amb el metge referent. RESULTATS Un total de 129 persones van entrar finalment al programa, d’aquestes 86 van realitzar totes les proves que se’ls va demanar, completant absolutament l’estudi. A un 64,3 % (83 persones) es va realitzar i llegir la PT. Un total de 32 persones van presentar una PT positiva (un 38,5% de les realitzades i llegides). Es van demanar proves d’IGRA a 34 pacients (32 amb PT + i a 2 amb Rx patològica), i se’n van realitzar 30. De les 30 persones estudiades amb IGRA, en 13 persones (43,3%) la prova va ser positiva. Un 73,9% (91 persones) es van realitzar la Rx de tòrax quan s’havia indicat. Es van trobar tres lesions compatibles amb TB, 7 lesions fibròtiques antigues, i en altres 7 persones es van observar altres alteracions radiològiques. Finalment, es van diagnosticar 3 casos de TB, que van iniciar tractament amb 4 fàrmacs, i que el varen completar, i 7 persones es van considerar candidates a tractament de la ITL (TITL) i totes van acabar la teràpia. En el decurs del programa van detectar-se 2 casos d’Hepatitis C (VHC) un cas de Hipertensió Arterial (HTA) i una miocardiopatia. CONCLUSIONS La realització d’un programa de detecció de TB i ITL dirigit a població immigrant de risc des d’un CAP és possible sense alterar la dinàmica de treball del centre. Les persones referents en cada etapa del cribratge i la rapidesa en realitzar les proves que es demanen són importants per explicar l’adherència al programa, comparada amb altres experiències similars. Els resultats orienten que el programa és efectiu per detectar TB i ITL. La combinació de PPD i IGRA pot ser un bon mètode per decidir a qui realitzar el TITL.
AIM The aim of this project is to, firstly detect the cases of tuberculosis (TB) in patients from countries of high TB prevalence, mainly at the time of first registration to their reference general practitioner (GP). Secondly, to monitor the adherence to the program and the detection of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and, thirdly, to assess the potential correlation between the tuberculin skin test (TST) and the Interferon-Gamma Release Assays (IGRAs) to detect LTBI. PATIENTS AND METHODS The program was set up at the public primary health care center of the district area of Barceloneta. First of all, referents were designated in all the health services involved - Medicine, Nursery, Radiology, Reception, and Clinical Laboratory – and clinical algorithms were designed for all screening stages. We included patients from countries of high TB prevalence (>100/100.000), mainly when enrolling to their reference general practitioner (GP), except for a few who had been living in Spanish state for up to 5 years. The working methodology, involved signing an informed consent, filling in an initial questionnaire, and having a TST and a chest radiograph, except for pregnant women or people under 18 years of age. One of the main factors to ensure that the patients completed the program was the performance of both the TST and the chest radiograph at the time of recruitment in the center. In those with an abnormal chest radiograph and/or TST, IGRAs test was performed and were also tested for hepatitis virus C and HIV. The subjects with any abnormal tests were appointed with the reference GP. RESULTS We included a total of 129 patients in our program and 86 completed the protocol. The TST was performed and read in the 64.3% (83 individuals) of cases, obtaining 38.5% (32) positive results. The IGRAs test was proposed to 34 patients, 32 having a positive TST and 2 having a pathologic chest radiograph, obtaining a total of 30 IGRAs results. Of these, in 13 (43.3%) the test was positive. The chest radiograph was performed to the 73.9% (91) of the patients who had been ordered to do this test. We detected 3 patients with lesions compatible with TB, 7 fibrotic lesions, which could indicate previous TB, and 7 other types of radiological abnormalities. We finally diagnosed 3 TB cases, which followed and finished treatment with 4 drugs. Treatment for LTBI was indicated to 7 individuals. We also newly identified two cases co-infected with hepatitis C, one patient having hypertension, and a cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that it is feasible to establish an early TB and LTBI detection program in a primary health care center, directed to those at risk, without interfering with the daily work in the center. Professional referees in every stage of the program and the shortness between the entry and the test performance of the tests, are key points to ensure adherence to the program compared to other studies. Our results suggest that this program is effective to detect both TB and LTBI. The combination between TST and IGRAs could be useful to decide to whom indicate prophylaxis.

Abstract:

A saúde no Brasil se dá por meio de um sistema único, com base jurídica e apoio na Constituição Federal. A saúde é colocada como Direito de todo o cidadão, e para que tais Direitos sejam garantidos, organizam-se modelos visando à operacionalização dos serviços. O primeiro nível no Brasil é denominado Atenção Básica (AB), com sua base conceitual vinda da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Ela é colocada como a porta de entrada preferencial do sistema, como coordenadora do cuidado, com um território delimitado e exercida nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) e/ou Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF). Seguindo a diretriz da descentralização, é gerida pelo município e com isso espera-se que as ações sejam mais qualificadas e resolutivas, uma vez que o município tem maior proximidade e conhecimento das necessidades de saúde de sua população. O objetivo do trabalho é conhecer e analisar como está organizada a produção teórica da Saúde Coletiva no Brasil acerca da construção social da demanda por serviços de saúde na Atenção Básica, criando-se assim uma referência a fim de trazer o assunto à discussão. A pesquisa foi feita utilizando-se os termos relacionados ao problema inicial: demanda em saúde, atenção básica e modelos tecno-assistenciais em saúde. Os conceitos serão apresentados de forma mais aprofundada por meio da revisão bibliográfica necessária para que aqueles que escrevem, produzem e vivem os termos que são aqui utilizados possam ganhar voz. Além da revisão, serão apresentados dados de documentos, levantados por meio de pesquisas em bancos de dados oficiais. Para a análise optou-se pela hermenêutica dialética, a qual tem na hermenêutica a arte da compreensão, ocupando-se do compreender através não só da interpretação do que o autor quis dizer em seu texto, mas além, dizendo que o pesquisador deve também buscar o que ficou subentendido, no inconsciente. A dialética busca compreender a realidade, por meio da transformação e da estranheza que ocorrem no interior dos processos, trabalhando com a quantidade e a qualidade como noções intrínsecas a qualquer objeto. Espera-se do serviço de saúde que este reconheça e resolva, na medida do possível, os problemas de saúde da população. E da AB esperamos que seja a captadora de boa parte das condições que afetam a saúde das pessoas. Temos no Brasil, a proposição da Política Nacional de Atenção Básica (PNAB) a qual enuncia o acesso universal e a atenção às necessidades de saúde como parte dos fundamentos e diretrizes da AB. Espera-se que esta seja uma construção conjunta trabalhador e usuário de modo a produzir saúde dentro das instituições e pelo território que os circunda.
Health in Brazil is set asa unified system,which is run under a legal basis and is protected by the Federal Constitution. It is placed as a Right to every citizen, and hence, models are defined so thatservices can be providedto assure that Right. The first level in Brazil is called AtençãoBásica (AB) (Basic Attention), with its basic concept coming from AtençãoPrimária à Saúde (APS) (Primary Attention to Health). It is said to be the system main front door, working as a care coordinator with a delimited territory and practiced in the UnidadesBásicas de Saúde (UBS) (Basic Health Units) and/ or in the Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF) (Family Health Units). Following the decentralization guideline, it is managed by the city and, thus, actions are expected to be quality and effective, once the city has greater proximity with and knowledge of the health needs of its population. The objective of the paper is to get to know and analyze how the Brazilian Collective Healths theoretical production aboutthe social construction of the demand of health services in the AtençãoBásica is organized, building, thus,a reference in order to bring the subject to light. The research was carried out by making use of the terms related to the initial problem: health demand, basic attention and techno assistance models in health. The concepts are going to be presented more deeply through the necessary bibliographical review,so that those who write, produce and live the terms used here can have a say. Besides the review, document data, collected through research in official databases, are going to be presented. To the analysis, the dialectical hermeneutics was chosen. By analyzing both fields,we have the hermeneutics as the art of comprehension, having it minding the understanding, not only by interpreting what the author meant in the text, but also by going beyond it and saying that the researcher must also investigate what was implicit, in the subconscious. The dialectics minds understanding the realitythrough transformation and strangeness that happen within the processes, working with quantity and quality as intrinsic notions to any object.It is expected from the health service that it recognizes and solves the health problems of the population to an attainable extent. And from AB we expect it to assist a great part of the conditions that affect peoples health. We have in Brazil the proposition of the PolíticaNacional de AtençãoBásica (PNAB) (Basic Attention National Policy), which enunciates the universal access and the attention to the health needs as part of the fundamentals and guidelines of the AB. It is expected it to be a mutual construction worker and user in a way of producing health within the institutions and throughout the territory surrounding them.

Resumo: Ao longo das últimas décadas, tanto a Atenção Básica quanto a Saúde Mental vem buscando traçar seu percurso e amadurecer através de experiências nas práticas cotidianas e das diretrizes e questões legais. A Saúde Mental passou por diversas transformações que culminaram na Reforma Psiquiátrica brasileira. Nos últimos anos vem avançando, principalmente no que diz respeito à atenção aos transtornos mentais graves, no âmbito da atenção especializada. Por outro lado, no contexto da Atenção Básica, ainda é frágil, suscita dúvidas e angústias nos profissionais envolvidos. Este estudo visou conhecer os dilemas atuais apontados por artigos científicos entre os anos de 2011 e 2013. A partir do destaque desses desafios, buscou compreender as propostas ministeriais relativas à inserção da Saúde Mental na Atenção Básica do ponto de vista histórico. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que se utilizou da revisão narrativa da literatura e da análise documental como técnicas de coleta de dados; e que se baseou na hermenêutica como referencial teórico. A partir da leitura dos artigos foram identificadas cinco categorias de análise: Rede de Saúde Mental, Ações de Saúde Mental desenvolvidas por profissionais da Atenção Básica, Apoio Matricial, Atenção em Saúde Mental e Outros. Em seguida, procedeu-se o destaque das propostas ministeriais em relação à inserção da Saúde Mental na Atenção Básica, de acordo com as categorias mencionadas. Estas duas fontes de informação foram postas em diálogo para melhor compreender as possíveis relações entre as propostas ministeriais ao longo dos últimos treze anos e os dilemas atuais destacados. Conclui-se que ao longo desse período houve diversas propostas, mas nem todas tiveram um tempo de implantação e avaliação suficientes. As propostas não foram sustentadas do ponto de vista financeiro e em termos de Recursos Humanos necessários. A ausência de um equipamento para se responder às necessidades de tratamento especializado para pacientes neuróticos leves e moderados aumentam a demanda por tratamento na Atenção Básica, que não tem tecnologia para atendê-la. As propostas do Departamento de Atenção Básica nem sempre são consonantes com as da Coordenação Geral de Saúde Mental e vice-versa, demonstrando uma falta e/ou pouco potente articulação institucional. Por último, as propostas contra hegemônicas necessitariam de políticas de pré-implantação que lhes tornassem mais sólidas e lhes possibilitassem uma maior aceitação no momento da implantação
Abstract: Over the past few decades, both Primary Care Attention and Mental Health have been tracing its routes and developing through experiences in daily practices, guidelines and legal issues. Mental Health has been through several transformations that ended up in Brazilian Psychiatric Reform. In recent years it has been advancing, mainly regards to the concern about serious mental disorders within the specialized attention. On the other hand, in the context of Primary Care Attention, it is still fragile and raises doubts and anxieties in the involved professionals. This study aimed to know the current dilemmas pointed by scientific articles between 2011 and 2013. From the prominence of these challenges, it was sought to understand the Ministerial proposals concerning the integration of Mental Health in Primary Care from a historical point of view. It is a qualitative research, which used the narrative review of literature and documental analysis as data-collection techniques; and based on hermeneutics as a theoretical framework. From the reading of the articles five analysis categories were identified: Mental Health Network, Mental Health actions developed by professionals in the Primary Care Attention, Matrix Support, Mental Health Attention and Others. Then there was the highlight of the Ministerial proposals in relation to the integration of Mental Health in Primary Care, according to the categories mentioned. These two sources of information were put into dialogue to better understand the possible relationship between the Ministerial proposals over the past thirteen years and current dilemmas. The results indicate that during this period there have been several proposals, but not all had a sufficient evaluation and implementation time. The proposals have not been supported in terms of required financial and human resources. The gap of device to meet the needs of specialized treatment for mild and moderate neurotic patients increase the demand for treatment in Primary Care Attention, which has no technology to meet it. The proposals of Primary Care Department are not always in line with the General Coordination of Mental Health and vice versa, demonstrating a lack of an institutional articulation or/and an underpowered one. Lastly, the counter-hegemonic proposals would need pre implantation policies to turn them more solid, this would make possible a greater acceptance at the implantation time

Abstract:

A gestação na adolescência (GA) ganha visibilidade e status de problema de saúde com o aumento de sua incidência em todo mundo, desde o início da década de 1970, período que ocorre uma queda na fecundidade nas demais faixas etárias. Estudos relacionam a GA à gravidez indesejada, maiores riscos materno-infantis e sociais. Em São Carlos, no decênio de 1998 a 2008 a taxa de GA diminuiu ao longo dos anos, porém o filho da adolescente ainda apresenta maior risco de morte no primeiro ano de vida. Tendo como pressupostos a pluralidade da adolescência e a determinação social do processo saúde-doença, o objetivo do estudo foi analisar as condições sociais e os indicadores de saúde da população feminina de São Carlos na perspectiva da vulnerabilidade, com ênfase na territorialização das disparidades intra-urbanas da gestação na adolescência e no potencial de enfrentamento das ações, programas e projetos desenvolvidos pelo Estado. A vulnerabilidade aqui é entendida como indicador de iniquidade e desigualdade social. O referencial teórico adotado Fo o de vulnerabilidade proposto pro Ayres et al. (2003), que distingue três dimensões interdependentes: a individual, a social e a programática. Trata-se de estudo de caso, descritivo e exploratório utilizando técnicas de sistemas de informação geográfica. A análise espacial foi contextualizada pela análise de documentos, protocolos das estratégias de enfrentamento pelo Estado. O perfil da gestante adolescente foi ter oito a onze anos de estudo, não estudar, não trabalhar ou se insere precariamente no mercado de trabalho e realizava menor número de consultas no pré-natal. Metade das mães adolescentes eram multipara. O mapa da gestação na adolescência acompanha o das vulnerabilidades sociais relacionadas à educação, ao trabalho, à multiparidade e ao acesso ao pré-natal. A abordagem ampliada da gestação na adolescência acena para os impactos dos determinantes sociais da saúde e as demandas crescentes por construção intersetorial das políticas, projetos e programas. As vulnerabilidades programáticas foram: baixo acesso ao ensino médio, à cursos profissionalizantes e ao esporte e lazer. Na atenção à saúde, a exclusão dos homens no planejamento familiar e pré-natal reforça a feminilização da maternidade e anticoncepção. O atendimento à gestante adolescente na agenda da mulher adulta reforça a crença de que a gestação é um rito de passagem para a vida adulta. O município têm várias políticas de proteção o que demonstra que a rede de proteção à adolescência e juventude está em construção. Os projetos municipais de gestão intersetoriais localizados no território, como os Centros da Juventude, o Recriad e o OP Educa apresentam-se como os de maior potencial para redução das iniquidades sociais. O georreferenciamento dos indicadores de saúde revelou-se importante ferramenta de planejamento, monitoramento e avaliação da atuação da rede de proteção à adolescência e juventude.
Adolescent pregnancy (GA) has gained visibility and status of health problem with increasing incidence worldwide, since the early 1970s, a period that occurs in the fertility decline in other age groups. Studies related to GA to unwanted pregnancy, higher maternal and infant risks and social issues. In San Carlos, in the decade from 1998 to 2008 the rate of GA decreased over the years, but the son of a teenager still at higher risk of death in the first year of life. Was assumed that the plurality of adolescence and the social determinants of healthdisease process, the objective was to analyze social conditions and health indicators of the female population of San Carlos in the vulnerability perspective, focusing on territorial disparities within cities of teenage pregnancy and the potential for coping actions, programs and projects developed by the state. The vulnerability is understood here as an indicator of inequity and inequality. The theoretical approach to vulnerability Fo proposed pro Ayres et al. (2003), which distinguishes three interdependent dimensions: the individual, social, and programmatic. This is a case study, descriptive and exploratory techniques using geographic information systems. Spatial analysis was grounded for examining documents, protocols of the coping strategies by the state. The profile of the pregnant teenager was having eight to eleven years of study, not studying, not working or falls precariously in the labor market and carried smallest number of pre-natal care. Half the teenage mothers were multipara. The map of teenage pregnancy accompanies the social vulnerabilities related to education, labor, multiparity, and access to prenatal care. The expanded approach to teenage pregnancy waves to the impact of social determinants of health and the increasing demands by building intersectoral policies, projects and programs. Programmatic vulnerabilities were low access to secondary education, to vocational courses and sports and leisure. In health care, the exclusion of men in family planning and prenatal care increases the feminization of motherhood and contraception. The care for pregnant adolescents in adult women\'s agenda reinforces the belief that pregnancy is a rite of passage to adulthood. The city has several protective policies which demonstrates that the safety net of adolescence and youth is under construction. The municipal project management intersectoral located in the territory, as the Centers for Youth and the OP Recriad Educa present themselves as the greatest potential for reducing social inequities. Geocoding of health indicators was an important tool for planning, monitoring and evaluating the performance of safety net to adolescence and youth.

Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo geral, compreender as práticas desenvolvidas no cuidado realizado por enfermeiros nos Programas Nacionais de Saúde em uma unidade da rede básica de saúde no município do Rio de Janeiro. Este estudo corresponde ao desdobramento do projeto Práticas de cuidado no SUS: o papel do enfermeiro na Atenção Básica, apoiado por bolsa de produtividade em pesquisa da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ/ Prociência). A presente dissertação trata-se de um estudo de caso realizado no âmbito da Atenção Básica, e, possui como cenário o Centro Municipal de Saúde (CMS) Milton Fontes Magarão. Os sujeitos da pesquisa corresponderam a oito enfermeiros, sendo sete entrevistas e um depoimento. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados utilizados, durante o período de julho a setembro de 2011, foram: observação sistemática, entrevista semi-estruturada, depoimento, formulário e pesquisa em fontes documentais. Para a avaliação dos resultados utilizou-se a técnica de análise temática, proposta por Minayo. No plano metodológico a análise foi qualitativa, no entanto, no tratamento dos dados, a análise aplicada se apropriou de elementos da abordagem quantitativa, com o objetivo de encontrar os núcleos de sentido contextualizados nas entrevistas. A partir dos resultados alcançados foi possível elaborar três categorias. A primeira categoria focou uma abordagem temática sobre as práticas desenvolvidas no cuidado realizado por enfermeiros nos Programas Nacionais. A segunda categoria buscou descrever a visão do enfermeiro sobre o desenvolvimento de suas práticas e do cuidado realizado, no qual, foram discutidas duas temáticas centrais: noções acerca das atividades realizadas pelos enfermeiros e noções dos enfermeiros acerca dos princípios e diretrizes para atenção à saúde. A terceira categoria direcionou-se para os fatores que interferem nas práticas e no cuidado realizado pelos enfermeiros. A prática e o cuidado realizados pelos enfermeiros foram analisados e discutidos, a partir dos relatos dos profissionais sobre suas vivências. Sendo assim, não coube a expressão de uma única forma de prática ou de uma única dimensão do cuidado, visto que essas práticas parecem estar entrelaçadas a diversos aspectos subjetivos, epistemológicos, culturais e sócio-econômicos. As práticas realizadas, independente do Programa Nacional de atuação dos enfermeiros, estão voltadas principalmente para a consulta de enfermagem, a prática educativa, a organização do fluxo de entrada, o sistema de referência e a visita domiciliar. Pôde-se inferir que diversos são os fatores que influenciam, de forma positiva ou negativa, o desenvolvimento das atividades diárias. Por fim, cabe ressaltar a necessidade de novos estudos sobre a temática a fim de estimular a construção de saberes teórico-práticos e a formulação de uma visão crítica sobre o cuidado profissional realizado pelo enfermeiro no âmbito da Atenção Básica.
This research has as a general goal to understand the practices developed in care performed by nurses in Health National Programs at a Basic Health Care unit in Rio de Janeiro city. This study corresponds to the unfolding of the project named Practices of care at SUS: the role of the nurse on Health Care, supported by research productivity grants from University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ/ Prosciences). The current dissertation is a case study performed at the scope of Health care, and the site is the Municipal Health Center (MHC) Milton Fontes Magarão. The research subjects were eight nurses, providing seven interviews and one testimony. Data sample tools used, during the period from July to September, 2011, were: systematic observation, semi-structured interview, testimony, form and research at documental sources. To the assessment of results the theme analysis technique was used, proposed by Minayo. Methodologically, the analysis was qualitative, however, in treatment of data, the analysis applied used elements from quantitative approach, in which the objective was to find meaning cores contextualized in the interviews. From the results achieved it was possible to elaborate three categories. First category focus was on the thematic approach about the practices which have been developed by nurses at National Programs. The second one aimed at describing the nurses view on the development of their practices as well as the care performed, in which, two core themes were discussed: notions about activities performed by nurses and their notions about principles and guidelines to basic Health Care. The third category was directed to factors that interfere on the practice and the care performed by nurses. Practice and care were analysed and discussed from the professionals reports about their life experiences. Thus, it was not suitable to structure a single form of practice or single care dimension, once such practices seem overlapped to diverse subjective, epistemological, cultural and socio-economic factors. Nurses performance practices, apart from the National Program are turned mainly to the nursing consultation, educational practice, organization of input, reference system and home visit. It can be inferred that a lot of factors influence - positively or negatively - on the development of daily activities. Finally, it is important to highlight the need of new studies on the subject in order to stimulate theoretical-practical knowledge and the formulation of a critical thinking about professional care from the nurse at the scope of basic Health Care.

Palliative care are considered as a care philosophy, whose scope is to provide to patients without therapeutic possibilities of cure and their families a better quality of life, being its application of great importance in the context of Primary Care. OBJECTIVES This study has the following objectives: to investigate the understanding of professionals working in FHS, in what concerns to Palliative Care and its therapeutics modalities; to identify, in the view of professionals from FHS, the constitution of Palliative care team for Basic Attention; to verify the possibilities and limitation of implementing Palliative Care in Basic Attention; from the discourse of Health professionals. METHODOLOGY Its about and exploratory research with qualitative approach. The scenario of investigation consisted of family care units belonging to Sanitary District IV, located in the city of João Pessoa (PB). Participated in the work 30 professionals from FHS, being ten doctors, ten nurses and ten dental surgeons. Data collection occurred between July and September 2011. DATA ANALYSIS empirical material was analyzed through content analysis technique, from the following phases: pre-analysis; material exploration; treatment of results. Data obtained by means of testimonies of investigation participants were grouped into the following thematic categories: Palliative Care conceptual aspects and therapeutic modalities (with their respective subcategories: Palliative Care promotion of life quality for patients without possibilities of cure; therapeutic modalities in palliative care); Palliative Care in Basic Attention team formation, possibilities and limitations. RESULTS: This study showed, from the vision of professionals involved in the study, the valuation of Palliative Care, considered as a modality of care that aims to minimize the suffering of the patient without therapeutic possibilities of cure and the one of their families through an assistance guided in humanization. On the other side, some of the study participants had an incompatible comprehension with the relevant literature to Palliative Care. Results pointed out that doctors, nurses and dental surgeons believe in the possibility of implementing this modality of care in basic Attention, since some need are met, such as: team training and development of a national policy for palliative care. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS We consider that this study opens new horizons in the field of scientific production, in assistance and in teaching on palliative care in Basic attention. In view of reduced quantum of studies directed to the respective thematic in the context of national literature. We hope, therefore, that this research can subsidize new investigation exploring the interrelationship of Palliative Care with Basic Attention, since it is an innovative practice in the referred field, necessitating a greater spread with managers, professionals of Health, in particular the ones from FHS, students and researches from this area.
Os Cuidados Paliativos são considerados como uma filosofia do cuidar, cujo escopo é o de proporcionar aos pacientes sem possibilidades terapêuticas de cura e seus familiares uma melhor qualidade de vida, sendo a sua aplicação de suma importância no âmbito da Atenção Básica. OBJETIVOS Este estudo tem os seguintes objetivos: investigar o entendimento de profissionais que atuam na ESF, no que concerne aos Cuidados Paliativos e suas modalidades terapêuticas; identificar, na visão dos profissionais da ESF, a constituição da equipe de Cuidados Paliativos para a Atenção Básica; verificar as possibilidades e limitações de implementação de Cuidados Paliativos na Atenção Básica, a partir do discurso de profissionais da Saúde. METODOLOGIA Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória com abordagem qualitativa. O cenário da investigação constituiu-se de unidades de saúde da família pertencentes ao Distrito Sanitário IV, localizadas no município de João Pessoa (PB). Participaram do trabalho trinta profissionais da ESF, sendo dez médicos, dez enfermeiros e dez cirurgiões-dentistas. Na coleta de dados, utilizou-se um formulário contendo questões pertinentes aos objetivos propostos para a pesquisa. A coleta dos dados ocorreu entre julho e setembro de 2011. ANÁLISE DOS DADOS O material empírico foi analisado mediante a técnica de análise de conteúdo, a partir das seguintes fases: pré-análise; exploração do material; tratamento dos resultados. Os dados obtidos por meio dos depoimentos dos participantes da investigação foram agrupados nas seguintes categorias temáticas: Cuidados Paliativos aspectos conceituais e modalidades terapêuticas (com suas respectivas subcategorias: Cuidados Paliativos promoção de qualidade de vida para pacientes sem possibilidades de cura; modalidades terapêuticas em cuidados paliativos); Cuidados Paliativos na Atenção Básica formação da equipe, possibilidades e limitações. RESULTADOS: Este estudo mostrou, a partir da visão dos profissionais evolvidos no estudo, a valoração dos Cuidados Paliativos considerados como uma modalidade de cuidar que visa à minimização do sofrimento do paciente sem possibilidades terapêuticas de cura e à de seus familiares, mediante uma assistência pautada na humanização. Por outro lado, alguns dos participantes do estudo apresentaram uma compreensão incompatível com a literatura pertinente aos Cuidados Paliativos. Os resultados assinalaram também que os médicos, enfermeiros e cirurgiões-dentistas acreditam na possibilidade de implementação dessa modalidade de cuidar na Atenção Básica, desde que sejam atendidas algumas necessidades, tais como: capacitação da equipe e desenvolvimento de uma política nacional para os cuidados paliativos. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS Consideramos que este estudo abre novos horizontes no campo da investigação científica, na assistência e no ensino acerca dos cuidados paliativos na Atenção Básica. Haja vista o quântico reduzido de estudos direcionados à respectiva temática no âmbito da literatura nacional. Esperamos, portanto, que esta pesquisa possa subsidiar novas investigações que contemplem a inter-relação dos Cuidados Paliativos com a Atenção Básica, visto que se trata de uma prática inovadora no referido campo, necessitando-se de uma maior disseminação junto a gestores, profissionais da Saúde, em particular os da ESF, estudantes e pesquisadores da área.

Abstract:

This thesis aimed to examine service contact among children and young people with mental health problems, and has three complementary parts. The first is a secondary analysis of data from the British Child and Adolescent Mental Health Survey (BCAMHS) 2004, which explored mental health related service contact in relation to psychopathology over three years. The second and third parts focussed on young people with ADHD in transition from child services, which is a particularly challenging time. This involved a qualitative interview study of young peoples’ experiences, and an analysis of primary care prescribing of ADHD medication over the transition period using a cohort from the Clinical Practice Research Datalink from 2005-2013. Less than a third of children with a psychiatric disorder in BCAMHS reported contact with child mental health services. Instead, teachers were the most frequently used service, with two-thirds reporting mental health related contact. Interviews with young people with ADHD highlighted themes including concerns around medication management post transition and need for information. The prescribing analysis found that the majority of adolescents on ADHD medication at age 16 stopped during the transition period. This continuing disparity between estimates of symptom persistence and medication persistence suggests that many may be stopping medication from which they could still benefit; as various barriers have been identified to ongoing prescribing. In summary, the findings of these three linked studies suggest common themes in terms of unmet needs and gaps between policy and practice in mental health services for children and young people. One of the chief implications is the need for oversight and policy levers to ensure the implementation of best practice, accompanied by complementary efforts to better understand and overcome other barriers to providing optimal care, including research into knowledge and attitudes of different groups and the provision of targeted training.

Abstract:

Conhecida há mais de 500 anos, a sífilis ocorre na população em geral e apesar de possuir tratamento efetivo e de baixo custo, vem apresentando significativo aumento do número de casos. O presente estudo enfoca a ocorrência de sífilis em gestantes. A sífilis na gestação pode evoluir para aborto espontâneo, natimorto e óbito perinatal. O número de casos de sífilis congênita tem sido adotado como um importante indicador de avaliação da qualidade da saúde na atenção básica. Desse modo, cabe às equipes de saúde da atenção básica e da vigilância epidemiológica acompanhar a ocorrência de casos na população em geral e nas gestantes, assim como os casos de sífilis congênita, contribuindo com ações voltadas ao planejamento e avaliação das medidas de tratamento, prevenção e controle. O interesse pelo tema de estudo advém da minha prática profissional em que ocorrem situações evitáveis como tratamentos inadequados de gestantes com teste reagente para sífilis e nascimentos de crianças com sífilis congênita. Assim, a pesquisa estabeleceu como objetivo construir um fluxograma para auxiliar os enfermeiros no acompanhamento e tratamento da gestante com sífilis. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo do tipo metodológico destinado à produção tecnológica. A investigação foi aprovada por Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa e foi desenvolvida em um município do interior do estado de São Paulo. O instrumento utilizado para coleta de dados foi o grupo focal, realizado em dois encontros. Participaram da pesquisa seis enfermeiros que desenvolvem prática clínica com gestantes na ESF, Atenção Básica, Centro de Especialidades e Pronto Socorro e Hospital do município. Com o material do primeiro encontro foi elaborada a primeira versão do fluxograma. No segundo encontro, o instrumento foi apresentado e validado pelos enfermeiros. A versão final do fluxograma levou em consideração manual e normas técnicas oficiais. A análise de conteúdo, temática do material do grupo focal identificou três categorias: fluxo do pré-natal e investigação de sífilis; atuação dos enfermeiros; e, dificuldades no acompanhamento e tratamento da gestante com sífilis. Por meio dos trechos das falas apresentadas é possível identificar uma fragilidade na comunicação entre atenção básica e o hospital, sendo necessário criar um fluxo de informação entre os enfermeiros. O estudo possibilitou conhecer profundamente a organização da rede de atenção à gestante dentro do município e esperamos com seus resultados convidar outros municípios à reflexão e discussão sobre a organização da rede cegonha, as ações de investigação, diagnóstico, acompanhamento e controle de tratamento da sífilis, especialmente em gestantes, seus parceiros e nos recém-nascidos. Além disso, intenciona-se chamar atenção para as dificuldades enfrentadas por enfermeiros e demais membros das equipes de saúde na redução dos casos de sífilis e sífilis congênita, não ficando restritos à ocorrência na gestante
Syphilis, which has been known for more than 500 years, occurs in ordinary population and despite having a cheap and effective treatment, it has been presenting a significant increase in case numbers. The present study focus on the occurrence of syphilis in pregnant women. During the gestation, syphilis may develop to a spontaneous abortion, stillbirth and perinatal death. The number of congenital syphilis cases has been adopted as an important indicator of quality evaluation of health in basics attention. This way, it is held to the health teams of basic attention and epidemiologic vigilance to follow the cases occurrence in the ordinary population and in pregnant women, as well as the congenital syphilis, which contributes to actions related to the planning and evaluation of treatment ways, prevention and control. The interest by the study themes comes from my professional practice in which avoidable situations as inappropriate pregnant women treatment with tests reactive to syphilis and births of children with congenital syphilis. Tis way, the research has stablished as an objective constructing a flow chart to help nurses in the follow up and treatment of pregnant women with syphilis. It is a qualitative and methodological study, directed to the technological production. The investigation was approved by the Research Ethics Department and it was developed in a city of São Paulo state. The instrument used to the data collect was the focal group, made in two encounters. For the study, six nurses who develop clinical practice with pregnant women were needed. These nurses develop clinical practice with pregnant women in ESF, Basic Attention Specialty Center and Prompt Service and local Hospital. With the material collected oh the first encounter it was possible to build the first version of the flow chart. On the second encounter, it was taken into consideration manual and official techniques. The content analysis, themes of the focal group material, identified three categories: prenatal flow and syphilis investigation, nursing action and, the difficulties in the follow up and treatment of pregnant women with syphilis. By pieces collected form the speeches presented, it is possible to observe a fragile communication between the basic attention and the hospital, being necessary the creation of an information flow among nurses. The study enabled to deeply know the net organization of pregnant women attention in the city and we hope with its result to invite other cities to think and discuss about the net pregnancy organization, investigative actions, diagnosis, following up and syphilis treatment control, especially during pregnancy, these women\'s partners and newborns. Besides, it\'s intended to call attention on the difficulties faced by nurses and other health professionals in the reduction of the cases of syphilis and congenital syphilis, not being restricted the occurrence during pregnancy

Abstract:

Introdução: A violência tem se constituído como importante objeto da saúde pública, estimulando a produção científica e a elaboração de políticas públicas. Os estudos têm sido unânimes em apontar para a necessidade de uma abordagem multiprofissional e intersetorial, coerente com a complexidade do problema. Objetivo: A pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender as estratégias de cuidado construídas por equipes de saúde da família de Diadema frente a situações de violência doméstica contra criança e adolescente. Método: Optou-se por uma abordagem qualitativa feita pela análise de casos traçadores identificados pelas equipes como difíceis, típicos e bem sucedido. Foram entrevistadas duas equipes de saúde da família e diferentes serviços da rede intersetorial. Resultados: A organização do serviço a partir das diretrizes da Estratégia de Saúde da Família mostrou-se um facilitador na identificação dos casos e na construção de estratégias de cuidado mais abrangentes e longitudinais. Os profissionais identificaram diferentes tipos de violência nas famílias atendidas, mas as ações das equipes voltaram-se prioritariamente para as situações de maus tratos contra a criança. A violência contra a mulher em geral não foi tomada como objeto da equipe, demonstrando diferentes graus de visibilidade entre as violências. As estratégias incluíram ações de vinculação à família, de monitoramento dos casos e avaliação dos aspectos biomédicos, mas também ações incisivas, como a internação compulsória. As estratégias construídas alternam assim entre um modelo prescritivo e outro centrado na ideia de Cuidado, no diálogo com às famílias e suas necessidades. Os agentes comunitários de saúde e profissionais do NASF foram os principais protagonistas nestes atendimentos, numa articulação entre o saber prático e técnico. As equipes de saúde atuaram como articuladores da rede intersetorial, acionando serviços de saúde, da Assistência Social, da Educação, Conselho Tutelar e do Judiciário para o atendimento dos casos. Observou-se entre os serviços da rede diferenças importantes nos modos de compreender os casos e as ações necessárias, gerando dificuldades no atendimento. Considerações: O estudo apontou para a necessidade de uma maior aproximação e alinhamento da rede intersetorial e de novas pesquisas que abordem a relação entre a concepção de gênero e sua influência na definição das práticas das equipes

Abstract:

Este estudo qualiquantitativo teve por objetivo geral analisar a conformação da rede de serviços de saúde que fazem atenção à saúde da gestante em Uberaba-MG. Teve como suporte teórico as categorias rede, integralidade e poder. Foi realizado estudo de caso tomando por referência os serviços de atenção básica de um Distrito Sanitário, sendo os dados de fontes primárias obtidos por entrevistas semi-estruturadas de trabalhadores de unidades de saúde de diferentes níveis de densidade tecnológica e de gestantes, e realização de grupo de discussão com gestantes. As fontes secundárias foram representadas por documentos oficiais e informações de bancos de dados das três esferas de governo. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados considerando sua distribuição de freqüência, e o material empírico das entrevistas e do grupo de discussão foi submetido à análise temática. Na análise documental identificamos que a política de atenção à gestante tem acontecido principalmente pela indução do financiamento, ou pela necessidade de superação de situações emergenciais. Identificamos, entretanto, tentativas de articulação de serviços e de atores, trabalhadores e usuários nos distintos espaços de construção desta política. Os dados e as informações de bancos de dados municipais e nacionais apontam para baixa cobertura e qualificação da assistência pré-natal de baixo e alto risco, por deficiência de infra-estrutura e de profissionais qualificados para atenção básica e especializada, déficit de leitos obstétricos e de UTI. O impacto na atenção pode ser identificado a partir da alta freqüência de internações por complicação obstétrica e aborto, alta incidência de sífilis congênita e aumento mortalidade infantil, com óbitos concentrados no período perinatal. Do material empírico analisado a partir da análise temática emergiu o tema: O modelo operado na rede de serviços que fazem atenção à gestante no município, que foi recortado em quatro subtemas: oferta de ações de saúde e a atenção às necessidades das gestantes; o encontro entre o trabalhador de saúde e a gestante no processo de atenção; espaços de atenção à saúde como espaços de aprendizagem; gestão da rede-a relação entre os serviços de saúde que fazem atenção à gestante no município. A articulação e interpenetração destes subtemas revelam dificuldade de acesso da gestante aos serviços, organização e planejamento centrados na necessidade dos serviços e instituições de ensino, fragmentação da rede e dos processos de trabalho em cada um dos serviços, e relação conflituosa entre oferta de serviços e demanda das gestantes; dificuldade de articulação serviço-ensino para educação na saúde. Por outro lado, também identificamos alguns espaços aonde acontecem práticas mais comprometidas com a atenção integral à gestante, e abertura de linhas de fuga para garantir atendimento.
The objective of this quantitative and qualitative study was to analyze the structure and operation of the health services network for pregnant women in Uberaba - MG. The theoretical categories that support the study are: network, integrality and power. A case study was carried out, using as a reference a primary care service of one Sanitary District. The primary sources data were obtained through semi-structured interviews with health care unit workers of different technological densities and with pregnant patients, in discussion groups. Secondary sources data were obtained through official documents and data base of three governmental areas. The quantitative data were analyzed taking into account its frequency distribution, and the empirical material from the interviews and group discussions were submitted to a thematic analysis. In the documental analysis, we identified that care police for pregnant women has been guided by the financial availability or the prevailing of emergency needs. We identified, however, joint attempts of the services and health actors, health workers and users in constructing the police. The data and the information from municipal and national data base point to poor coverage and qualification of both low and high risk pre-natal care because of a deficiency in infrastructure and qualified care professionals, as well as a lack of obstetric and ICU beds. The health attention impact can be seen in the great number of internments for obstetric complications and abortion, the high incidence of congenital syphilis and a rise in infant mortality, with deaths concentrated in the peri-natal period. The thematic analysis of the empirical material provided a theme: The operating model in the attention service network for pregnant women in the municipal district, which was divided into four sub-themes: health actions offered and attention to the pregnant women needs; the health care worker and the pregnant woman meeting during the care process; health attention place as a learning place; network management-the relation among services that attend the pregnant women in the municipal district. The articulation and intersection of these sub-themes reveal access difficulty of the pregnant patient, organization and planning centered in the service and learning institutions needs, network and work process fragmentation in each of the services, conflict relationship between services offer and pregnant women demands and difficulty in service-learning institutions articulation for health education. On the other hand, we identified some more committed practices with an integral care of the pregnant women and the opening of escape routes from the system in order to guarantee care.

Abstract:

Esta pesquisa tem a intenção de, referenciada no campo da psicologia social e nos debates que envolvem políticas públicas, saúde mental e saúde coletiva, investigar os modos como os trabalhadores de saúde mental desenvolvem suas práticas nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) a partir do entendimento de território como ethos. Parte-se do testemunho do uso polissêmico e reificado do termo território por trabalhadores e gestores, bem como da consideração da cidade como o campo, por excelência, da produção de vida e das articulações em rede dos diferentes dispositivos de assistência. Como metodologia optou-se pela descrição densa da experiência profissional do pesquisador e da escuta da experiência dos trabalhadores de CAPS. Este dispositivo foi eleito pela constatação da importância que assumiu para a política nacional de saúde mental, escolhido pelas políticas governamentais como eixo da reforma psiquiátrica e com a tarefa de transformar os modos de relação entre loucura e sociedade. Optou-se pelo Grupo Operativo enquanto instrumento para investigação da experiência dos trabalhadores, que permitiu a emergência, nas discussões, das noções de território, práticas construídas a partir dessa noção e na relação da equipe com o serviço, com os usuários. Foram estudados cinco grupos em quatro CAPS de diferentes regiões da cidade de São Paulo, propondo-se como tarefa Falem sobre como se trabalha neste CAPS considerando a política atual de Saúde Mental. Na análise das falas buscou-se estabelecer uma relação dialógica entre a experiência desses trabalhadores, seus pontos de vista, em comunicação com a experiência do pesquisador e também com o entendimento dos autores que nos orientaram bibliograficamente. Assim, teceu-se um diálogo entre as narrativas dos trabalhadores e os autores eleitos nesta pesquisa, a fim de compreender como esses profissionais construíram suas próprias práticas e o que influenciou este processo. Na fala dos trabalhadores, os CAPS têm ocupado um lugar centralizado no cuidado oferecido aos sujeitos em sofrimento psíquico, principalmente pela dificuldade dos dispositivos da rede da saúde em acolhe-los em suas necessidades. Percebe-se a rede de saúde como ainda incipiente e com vazios entre os serviços e, além disso, a rede de atenção psicossocial ainda não dispõe suficientemente de outros serviços importantes em se tratando de produção de vida. Mesmo com o tensionamento para burocratização dos serviços, os trabalhadores têm se empenhado em criar ações pautadas pela realidade psicossocial dos sujeitos e das potencialidades dos territórios onde se encontram. Entretanto, esse manejo é limitado: as condições em que os serviços estão inseridos os levam ao cansaço, sofrimento e desanimo. A noção de território mostrou-se polissêmica: área geográfica, rede de saúde, território afetivo, entre outros, sendo área territorial adstrita o sentido mais comum; em algumas circunstancias a polarização dentro-fora levava a ações burocratizadas. A partir desses diálogos foi se elaborando a noção de território como um ethos, que seria um modo de habitar o mundo que orienta o cuidado no sentido de se colocar como presença humana diante do outro, apoiando a construção de outras moradas possíveis para esses sujeitos em um movimento de subjetivação com o outro
Referenced in the field of social psychology and debates involving public policies, mental health and collective health, this research intends to investigate the ways in which mental health workers develop their practices in the Psychosocial Care Centers (CAPS), from the understanding of territory as ethos. It begins with the testimony of the polisemic and reified use of the term territory by workers and managers, as well as the consideration of the city as the field, par excellence, of the production of life and the networked articulations of the different assistance devices. As a methodology we opted for the dense description of the researcher\'s professional experience and listening to the experience of CAPS workers. This device was elected by the recognition of the importance that it assumed for the national policy of mental health, chosen by governmental policies as axis of the psychiatric reform and with the task of transforming the modes of relation between madness and society. The Operational Group was chosen as a tool to investigate the workers\' experience, which allowed the emergence, in the discussions, of notions of territory, practices built from this notion and in the relationship of the team with the service, with the users. Five groups were studied in four CAPS from different regions of the city of São Paulo, being proposed as task \"Talk about how to work in this CAPS considering the current policy of Mental Health\". In the analysis of the speeches we tried to establish a dialogical relationship between the experience of these workers, their points of view, in communication with the researcher\'s experience and also with the understanding of the authors who guided us bibliographically. Thus, a dialogue was established between the narratives of the workers and the authors elected in this research, in order to understand how these professionals built their own practices and what influenced this process. In the workers\' speech, the CAPS have occupied a centralized place in the care offered to the subjects in psychic suffering, mainly due to the difficulty of the devices of the health network in receiving them in their needs. The health network is perceived as still incipient and with gaps between services and, moreover, the psychosocial care network still does not have enough of other important devices when in terms of life production. Even with the tension for bureaucratization of services, the workers have been committed to create actions guided by the psychosocial reality of the subjects and the potentialities of the territories where they are. However, this management is limited: the conditions in which services are inserted lead to tiredness, suffering and discouragement. The notion of territory proved to be polysemic: geographic area, health network, affective territory, among others, being territorial area attached the most common sense; In some circumstances the polarization inside-out led to bureaucratic actions. From these dialogues, the notion of territory as an ethos was developed, which would be a way of inhabiting the world that guides care in order to place itself as a human presence before the other, supporting the construction of other possible dwellings for these subjects in a Movement of subjectivation with the other

Primary Health Care, especially in the family health strategy, it is expected that the joint assistance and actions of health promotion. The Ministry of health (BRAZIL, 2007) defines health education as an eyeshadow strategy of prevention and health promotion, based on reflective practices, which allow the user to their condition of historical, social and political subject, under the vision of an expanded clinic on the part of health professionals. In this sense, there are guidelines for it professionals to develop educational activities and that they can interfere in the health/disease process of the population, with a view to the development of autonomy of the subject. This research had as objective to understand in the light of the integrality of the care, as is the production of health education practices, within the framework of the family health strategy from ethnographic study in a family health unit (USF). The location of the research was the unit of USF Felipe Camar?o II in West Health District, in the city of Natal, RN, Brazil, selected from preliminary mapping of educational practices deployed in units of health of the family of this municipality, based on criteria such as time-to-deployment of USF and sustainability of existing actions. Immersion in the field consisted of participant observation with journaling, held during the period of August 2012 to January 2013, in which she accompanied team work processes in clinical-welfare actions on the USF, in households and in educational activities of group character. The results presented in ethnographic description were analyzed based on the axes proposed by Ayres (2009) for identification of integrality in health practices:the axis of the needs; the axis of the purposes; the joint axis; and the axis of the interactionsThe evidence described from observation point the presence of each axle up health education practices developed by the teams, even incipient form, namely: articulation and appreciation of knowledge and practices of popular culture with local initiatives (Pastoril do Peixe Boi Encantado, Auto de Natal e Grupo Terapia e Arte); Clinical integration with health promotion actions and coordination of multidisciplinary knowledge, with professional-user link (course for pregnant women). However, a few challenges were identified to be faced in order to move forward in these practices in integral care: the need to break with the fragmentation of actions; strengthening teamwork; need for greater sustainability policy of collective actions; intersectoral work aimed at a better role of the State in the face of the health-disease process, adding to the action of individuals.The analysis produced from observation of the processes experienced indicates the need for a better recognition of local managers that actions similar to those that occur in the USF Felipe Camar?o II enable advances in completeness as allows inclusion of actors involved in the processes of health work, and stimulate participation and shared responsibility in the fight for health-disease situations
Na Aten??o Prim?ria em Sa?de, sobretudo, na Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia, espera-se que ocorra articula??o das a??es assistenciais e de promo??o da sa?de. O Minist?rio da Sa?de (BRASIL, 2007) define a educa??o em sa?de como uma estrat?gia potencializadora das a??es de preven??o e promo??o, fundamentada em pr?ticas reflexivas, que possibilitem ao usu?rio sua condi??o de sujeito hist?rico, social e pol?tico, sob a vis?o de uma cl?nica ampliada por parte dos profissionais de sa?de. Nesse sentido, h? diretrizes para que profissionais desenvolvam a??es educativas e que estas possam interferir no processo de sa?de-doen?a da popula??o, na perspectiva do desenvolvimento de autonomia dos sujeitos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender, ? luz da integralidade do cuidado, como se d? a produ??o das pr?ticas de educa??o em sa?de, no ?mbito da Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia a partir de estudo etnogr?fico em uma Unidade de Sa?de da Fam?lia (USF). O local da pesquisa foi a Unidade de Sa?de Felipe Camar?o II, no Distrito Sanit?rio Oeste, no munic?pio de Natal, RN, Brasil, selecionada a partir de mapeamento preliminar de pr?ticas educativas implantadas nas unidades de sa?de da fam?lia deste munic?pio, com base em crit?rios entre os quais tempo de implanta??o da USF e sustentabilidade das a??es existentes. A imers?o em campo constou de observa??o participante com registro em di?rio, realizada durante o per?odo de agosto de 2012 a janeiro de 2013, em que a pesquisadora acompanhou processos de trabalho das equipes em a??es clinico-assistenciais, na pr?pria USF, em domic?lios e em a??es educativas de car?ter grupal. Os resultados apresentados na descri??o etnogr?fica foram analisados com base nos eixos propostos por Ayres (2009) para identifica??o da integralidade nas pr?ticas de sa?de: o eixo das necessidades; o eixo das finalidades; o eixo das articula??es; e o eixo das intera??es. As evid?ncias descritas a partir da observa??o apontam presen?a de cada eixo acima nas pr?ticas de educa??o em sa?de desenvolvidas pelas equipes, mesmo que de forma incipiente, quais sejam: articula??o e valoriza??o de saberes e pr?ticas da cultura popular com iniciativas locais (Pastoril do Peixe Boi Encantado, Auto de Natal e Grupo Terapia e Arte); integra??o da cl?nica com as a??es de promo??o da sa?de e articula??o de saberes multiprofissional, com v?nculo profissional-usu?rio (Curso para Gestantes). No entanto, alguns desafios foram identificados a serem enfrentados para se avan?ar nessas pr?ticas numa perspectiva do cuidado integral: necessidade de ruptura com a fragmenta??o das a??es; fortalecimento do trabalho em equipe; necessidade de maior sustentabilidade pol?tica das a??es coletivas; trabalho intersetorial com vistas a uma melhor atua??o do Estado no enfrentamento do processo sa?de-doen?a, somando-a ? a??o dos indiv?duos-sujeitos. A an?lise produzida a partir da observa??o dos processos vivenciados indica haver necessidade de um melhor reconhecimento por parte dos gestores locais de que a??es semelhantes as que ocorrem na USF Felipe Camar?o possibilitam avan?os na integralidade ? medida que permite inclus?o dos atores implicados nos processos de trabalho em sa?de, e estimulam participa??o e corresponsabiliza??o no enfrentamento de situa??es de sa?de-doen?a

Abstract:

A residência multiprofissional em serviço na atenção básica à saúde, tema desta tese, faz parte de uma rede de formação na área da educação e saúde no Brasil. A formação dentro de serviços de saúde tem como objetivo preparar profissionais para atuação no Sistema Único de Saúde. O foco da pesquisa volta-se para os processos educativos vivenciados por residentes e preceptores/as no Programa de Residência Integrada em Saúde: Atenção Básica em Saúde Coletiva, desenvolvido predominantemente em unidades básicas de saúde pertencentes, até 2009, ao Centro de Saúde-Escola Murialdo e vinculado à Escola de Saúde Pública. O programa busca formar profissionais para o planejamento, a gestão e a clínica da atenção básica em equipe multiprofissional, orientados para a integralidade da atenção. Esta tese analisa como trabalhadores/as e residentes vivenciam os processos educativos em serviço, que relações de poder-saber constituem e atravessam essa formação e alguns dos desafios que são colocados às instituições formadoras. Trata-se de uma investigação qualitativa cujo percurso metodológico tem aporte nos estudos culturais em aproximação com a etnografia pós-moderna, pois estes concebem a cultura como campo de produção de significados, no qual os diferentes grupos sociais, situados em posições diferenciadas de poder, lutam pela imposição de seus significados à sociedade. O trabalho de campo foi desenvolvido no período de março de 2007 a abril de 2008 e o material empírico inclui documentos pedagógicos e administrativos institucionais, legislação pertinente à regulamentação dos programas de residência, relatórios de residentes, observação direta das equipes nos ambientes de trabalho e entrevistas com os/as trabalhadores/as que atuam nas unidades básicas de saúde. Para refletir sobre as limitações e as possibilidades desta formação, utilizei, especialmente, os escritos de Bauman acerca das características culturais da “modernidade líquida”. As unidades de análise estruturadas, a partir destes pressupostos, abordam: o enfrentamento cotidiano das incertezas por trabalhadores/as e residentes; os saberes e as práticas constitutivos da formação em situação de trabalho na atenção básica; os desafios da formação em serviço em tempos líquidos; as relações de saber-poder nas dinâmicas de ensino/serviço/gestão, sobretudo as implicações dos conflitos das corporações profissionais e da municipalização da assistência nos processos educativos da residência. Estas relações produzem potencialidades e vulnerabilidades no programa de residência, no contexto estudado, marcado pela provisoriedade e pela incerteza. A partir destas análises foi possível apreender que, em tempos líquidos, a criatividade e a solidariedade são ferramentas importantes dos e nos processos educativos que preparam para a vida (profissional).
Multidisciplinary residency in primary health care, subject of this thesis, is part of a network of training in education and health in Brazil. Training in health care aims to prepare professionals for action in the National Health System. The research focus turns to the educational process experienced by residents and preceptors in Integrated Health Residency Program: Primary Care in Public Health, developed predominantly in basic health units belonging, in 2009, to the Murialdo Health School-Centre, and linked to the School of Public Health. The program seeks to train professionals for the planning, management and clinical practice of primary care in multiprofessional teamwork oriented by integral care. This thesis examines how workers and residents experience educational processes in service, which relations of power-knowledge are/go through such training and some of the challenges that are posed to the educational institution. This is a qualitative research whose methodological course has input into cultural studies in approach to post-modern ethnography. These studies conceive culture as a field of meaning production, in which different social groups located in different positions of power are fighting for impose their meanings on society. Fieldwork was conducted from March 2007 to April 2008 and empirical data included educational and administrative documents institutions, relevant legislation to the regulation of residency programs, reports of residents, direct observation of teams in the workplace and interviews with workers in training places. To discuss the limitations and possibilities of this training, I used especially the writings of Bauman about the cultural features of “liquid modernity”. The units of analysis structured to address these assumptions are: the daily confrontation of uncertainties by workers and residents, the knowledge and practices constituting the training on the work in primary care, the challenges of in-service training days net; the relations of knowledge-power in the teaching/service/management, especially the implications of conflicts of professional corporations and the decentralization of assistance in the educational processes of the residence. These relations yield potentials and vulnerabilities in residency programs in the studied context marked by provisional and uncertain. From this analysis it was possible to apprehend that in times of liquid modernity, creativity and solidarity are important tools of/on educational processes that prepare for (professional) life.

Abstract:

Este trabalho é uma produção cartográfica da experiência de análise produzida com a equipe de trabalhadores de uma unidade básica de saúde, na perspectiva da produção do acolhimento, buscando destacar as perdas de sentido que capturam a produção do cuidado e os movimentos que apontam para novas formas de acolher o usuário, e, apostando na tese de que é possível explorar linhas de fuga para produzir vida na saúde. Contextualizamos a experiência no processo sócio-histórico da saúde que conforma modelos assistenciais segundo um recorte interessado da realidade, utilizando o referencial teórico metodológico da análise institucional, linha esquizoanalítica (Deleuze & Guattari), e do processo de trabalho em saúde (Merhy), destacando três aspectos intrinsecamente relacionados: a configuração de uma nova ordem, a da sociedade mundial de controle (Deleuze), promovendo um controle contínuo, instantâneo, em espaço aberto, através de senhas de acesso, e o perigo desta lógica dar a tônica a práticas como as de Saúde da Família; o desafio da construção de uma grupalidade a partir da constituição de uma equipe de trabalhadores, frente aos intensos processos de produção de subjetividade, à lida com a diversidade e complexidade da demanda de problemas dos usuários, às dificuldades da reconstituição dos saberes e práticas que já não dão conta de responder aos problemas, aos obstáculos da inclusão das diferenças explicitadas nas relações entre trabalhadores, e desses com os usuários; enfim, a micropolítica da relação trabalhador-usuário comandada por investimentos de interesse e desejo, conscientes e inconscientes e o modo como reproduzimos ou não a subjetividade dominante no processo de trabalho em saúde com todo seu arsenal tecnológico próprio. Na ambigüidade do desejo de saber e do medo de se ver, em meio as dores e sofrimentos de usuários e trabalhadores, a equipe foi se percebendo produzindo a exclusão dos usuários camuflada por critérios técnicos, clínicos, burocráticos e administrativos. Vivenciou as dificuldades de superar os obstáculos a despeito das ressonâncias e implicações que as dores e problemas dos usuários causam nos próprios trabalhadores, os conflitos que emergem nas relações entre os trabalhadores para a resolução dos problemas, sem conseguir ser efetiva em afastar-se de suas próprias dificuldades para olhar para o usuário. A análise revelou o funcionamento da equipe como o de uma escola, que fecha no período de férias, mas mantendo atividades mínimas sem conseguir, entretanto, estruturar o trabalho de forma que contemple o descanso do trabalhador e as necessidades dos usuários. À medida que a grupalidade vai ganhando consistência, apesar das crises e conflitos, é possível arriscar na explicitação do não-saber, buscar cooperação mútua para produção de cuidado com o outro e para a lida com os afetos inerentes ao encontro com este outro. Alguns elementos mostraram-se provocadores da ordem instituída com potência para criação do novo, como a presença dos agentes comunitários na equipe, as discussões de casos de famílias para a construção de projetos terapêuticos mais implicados e a mudança do locus de trabalho da unidade de saúde para o domicílio como possibilidade de mudança nas relações de poder entre trabalhador e usuários.
This work is a cartographic production as to analysis experience produced with the professional team at a basic health care unit, in terms of the welcoming reception, focusing on sense losses that capture care production and motion focusing on new ways for attending users as well as advocating the idea that it is possible to explore escape lines for producing life in health. We contextualize experience within health social-historic process that presents assistance models according to a point-of-view based on reality, using the methodological theoretical reference of institutional analysis, schizoanalytical line (Deleuze & Guattari), and health work process (Merhy), focusing on three intrinsically related aspects: (1) configuration of a new order - the world control society (Deleuze), providing continuous, immediate, and open control though access passwords, and how dangerous it is for such logic to replace Family Health practice; (2) team building challenge through professional team constitution, facing subjectivity intense production process, diversity and complexity as to user problem demand, reconstruction of knowledge and practice that are no longer able to solve such problems, barriers to inclusion of differences regarding professional-professional relationship and professional-user relationship; (3) finally, professional-user relationship micropolicy regulated by conscious and unconscious, interest and wish investment and the way we reproduce or not dominant subjectivity at the working process in health care with its own technological devices. Upon ambiguity as to wish for knowledge and fear of seeing, among user and professional pain and suffering, the team started excluding users through technical, clinical, bureaucratic, and administrative criteria. It has experienced how difficult it is to overcome barriers as to resonance and implication user pain and problem bring to professionals, conflict deriving from professionals trying to solve problems, being unable to get away from their own problems in order to face users problems. The analysis has found that team works as a school closing for vacation and keeping minimum activities at the same time; however, it cannot structure work in a way that professionals can have some rest and meet users needs. As team gets consistency, in spite of crises and conflicts, it is possible to present not-knowing explication, and search for mutual cooperation for care production and inherent affection. Some elements are presented as regular order breakers for new creation, such as community agents within the team, family case discussion for therapeutical project construction and the working locus shift from health care unit to homes as a way to modify power relationship between professional and user.

Abstract:

O presente estudo teve como objetivo geral analisar as experiências dos profissionais de saúde da estratégia saúde da família (ESF) para o acompanhamento de crianças menores de cinco anos de idade com asma, na perspectiva do cuidado integral à saúde, fornecendo subsídios para a atenção primária em saúde da criança. Os objetivos específicos foram: descrever o perfil sociodemográfico dos profissionais na estratégia saúde da família nas unidades investigadas; descrever os sinais e sintomas, as medidas preventivas e promocionais e o tratamento relacionado à asma em crianças que os profissionais de saúde relatam na ESF; identificar e analisar as experiências dos profissionais de saúde no acompanhamento da saúde de crianças menores de cinco anos de idade com asma no contexto da ESF, na perspectiva do cuidado integral em saúde. Estudo descritivo e exploratório com análise qualitativa dos dados, desenvolvido em Ribeirão Preto-SP, em quatro unidades com ESF, selecionadas com base no número de crianças até cinco anos de idade cadastradas e em acompanhamento, a partir de dados do Sistema de Informação da Atenção Básica. Os participantes foram 25 profissionais de saúde (médicos, enfermeiros, auxiliares e técnicos de enfermagem e agentes comunitários de saúde), que estavam trabalhando nas unidades há pelo menos um ano, após aprovação em comitê de ética em pesquisa. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas gravadas e individuais e a análise dos dados foi pautada na análise temática. Os resultados trazem aspectos relevantes sobre o acompanhamento da saúde da criança, destacando elementos da organização da assistência à criança na ESF, do tratamento medicamentoso e não medicamentoso, do seguimento especializado e das relações com a família no cuidado cotidiano da criança com asma. No cuidado em saúde o diálogo é fundamental, com construção da empatia, confiança, vínculo e co-responsabilidade entre os profissionais e as mães e famílias, buscando o alcance da adesão, um tratamento eficaz, a promoção da saúde e qualidade de vida da criança e sua família. Assim, são muito importantes as ações de promoção, prevenção, tratamento e reabilitação da saúde da criança, centradas na continuidade e integralidade da assistência.
This study aimed to analyze the experiences of health professionals from the Family Health Strategy (FHS) regarding the monitoring of children under five years old with asthma from the perspective of comprehensive health care, providing support for children\'s primary health care. The specific objectives were: to describe the sociodemographic profile of professionals in family health strategy in the units investigated; to describe the signs and symptoms, preventive and promotional measures and treatment related to asthma in children that health professionals report in the family health strategy; to identify and analyze the experiences of health professionals in monitoring the health of children under five years old with asthma in the context of the family health strategy from the perspective of comprehensive health care. This descriptive and exploratory study with qualitative data analysis was developed in the city of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, in four Family Health Strategy Units, selected based on the number of children under five years old registered and monitored from data Information System of Primary Care. Participants were 25 health professionals (physicians, nurses, nursing auxiliaries and technicians and community health workers) who were working in the units for at least one year, after the approval by the research ethics committee. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted and recorded and data analysis was based on thematic analysis. The results bring up relevant issues on children\'s health, highlighting elements of the organization of health care in the FHS, of the drug and non-drug treatment, of the specialized follow-up, and of the relations with the family in the daily care of children with asthma. In health care the dialogue is essential in building empathy, trust, bonding and co-responsibility between professionals and mothers and families, aiming the adhesion, an effective treatment, the health promotion and quality of life of the children and their family. Thus, actions in health promotion, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of child are very important, focusing on continuity and comprehensive care.

Full text

Abstract:

Problem: Medical and nursing literature poorly identify primary care providers' (PCP) relationship to care coordination (CC). Primary care providers' education, experience, and perspective, contribute to: (a) assessments of patient's care coordination needs, and (b) variability in behavior to address needs. Dissimilar approaches to CC by PCPs affect work relationships and office flow.

Purpose: To pre-pilot a new tool describing PCPs' knowledge, perception, and behavior regarding CC. Methods: Primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants were surveyed.

Analysis: Frequencies and percentages provided sample characteristics. Descriptive statistics analyzed provider responses within and between groups. Narratives were analyzed for themes. Tool refinement is suggested however, the tool does describe PCPs and CC activities.

Significance: A tool was developed to evaluate areas of CC activity performed by PCPs. Information from surveys of PCPs can illuminate behaviors that lead to improved work flow, efficiency, and patient outcomes. Doctors of Nursing Practice who are PCPs contribute to primary care CC through leadership, experience, and descriptive evidence.

Abstract:

Background: Improving coordination of care is a major challenge for health systems internationally. Tools are required to evaluate alternative approaches to improve coordination from the patient perspective. This study aimed to develop and validate a new measure of coordination for use in a primary care setting. Methods: Four methods were used. Firstly, a concept analysis was undertaken to identify the essential attributes of coordination drawing upon literature from health and organisational studies and to establish its boundaries with related concepts such as continuity of care, integration and patient centred care. Secondly, existing measures of coordination were reviewed to assess the extent to which item content reflected the definition arising from the concept analysis and to appraise psychometric properties. Thirdly, a new instrument, the Care Coordination Questionnaire (CCQ), was developed utilising items from existing questionnaires and others developed following focus groups with 30 patients. Ten cognitive interviews were used to evaluate the items generated. Finally, the CCQ was administered in a cross sectional survey to 980 patients. Item and model analyses were performed. Test-retest reliability was evaluated through a second administration of the CCQ after two weeks. Concurrent validity was evaluated through correlation with the Client Perceptions of Coordination Questionnaire (CPCQ). Construct validity was evaluated through correlation with responses to a global coordination item and a satisfaction scale and the testing of two a prior hypotheses: i) coordination scores would decrease with increasing numbers of providers and ii) coordination scores would decrease with increasing numbers of long-term conditions. Results: The concept analysis suggested that coordination should be considered as a process for the organisation of patient care characterised by: purposeful activity, information exchange, knowledge of roles and responsibilities, and responsiveness to change. The systematic review identified 5 existing measures of coordination and a further 10 measures which incorporated a coordination subscale. Only one demonstrated conceptual coverage but had poor psychometric properties. A new instrument was therefore developed and tested as described above. 299 completed surveys were returned. Respondents were predominantly elderly and of white ethnicity; approximately half were female. Five items were deleted following item analyses. Model analysis suggested a four factor two-level model of coordination comprising of 18 items. This correlated well with the CPCQ, the global coordination item and satisfaction scale. The a priori hypotheses were upheld. Retest reliability was acceptable at the patient group level. Conclusions: The CCQ has demonstrated good psychometric characteristics in terms of item responses, reliability and construct validity. Further exploration of these properties is required in a larger, more diverse sample before it can be recommended for widespread use, but it shows potential utility in the evaluation of different approaches to coordinating care.

Abstract:

This research sets out to assess if the PHC system in rural Nigeria is effective by testing the research hypothesis: 'PHC can be effective if and only if the Health Care Delivery System matches the attitudes and expectations of the Community'. The field surveys to accomplish this task were carried out in IBO, YORUBA, and HAUSA rural communities. A variety of techniques have been used as Research Methodology and these include questionnaires, interviews and personal observations of events in the rural community. This thesis embraces three main parts. Part I traces the socio-cultural aspects of PHC in rural Nigeria, describes PHC management activities in Nigeria and the practical problems inherent in the system. Part II describes various theoretical and practical research techniques used for the study and concentrates on the field work programme, data analysis and the research hypothesis-testing. Part III focusses on general strategies to improve PHC system in Nigeria to make it more effective. The research contributions to knowledge and the summary of main conclusions of the study are highlighted in this part also. Based on testing and exploring the research hypothesis as stated above, some conclusions have been arrived at, which suggested that PHC in rural Nigeria is ineffective as revealed in people's low opinions of the system and dissatisfaction with PHC services. Many people had expressed the view that they could not obtain health care services in time, at a cost they could afford and in a manner acceptable to them. Following the conclusions, some alternative ways to implement PHC programmes in rural Nigeria have been put forward to improve and make the Nigerian PHC system more effective.

Abstract:

This dissertation studies Oregon primary care physicians' attitudes toward health care reform. Two models of reform are examined: one, health care rationing such as that proposed by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP); and, two, support for national health insurance (NHI). This work examines the necessity for changing the present health care system, traced from the early origins of the medical profession to the present day health care "crisis." The high cost of health care is examined and an overview of the OHP is provided, including citations from John Kitzhaber, M.D., author of the plan. Overall, Oregon primary care physicians overwhelmingly supported health care rationing policies. Just under 75 percent of the physicians expressed support for health care rationing policies such as that proposed by the Oregon Health Plan. However, just under 48 percent of the same physicians expressed support for national health insurance (NHI). Internal medicine physicians were most supportive of health care rationing policies and OB/GYN physicians were least supportive. Conversely, pediatricians were most supportive of NHI and OB/GYN physicians were least supportive. Regression analyses explained 11.5 percent of variation in support for health care rationing policies and 20.9 percent of their support for national health insurance (NHI). While strong support measures were found for health reform such as that proposed by the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), no similar measures of support for NHI emerged. Almost universal support for health care reform such as the OHP was found among primary care physicians across the state, however similar patterns were not found for NHI. It appears from the research's findings that attempts to change the health care system that include the physician's ability to ration care would be more successful than a more systematic change such as would occur under a national health insurance program. This dissertation points out that physicians represent strong supporting forces and/or opposing forces for health care reform. Their attitudes toward such reform must be considered if successful change is to occur in the U.S. health care system.

Abstract:

Primary health care reform has become an area of priority in health policy with a strong importance placed on interdisciplinary teams of health care professionals. Quebec's model, the groupes de médicine de famille (GMFs), were introduced late in 2002 emphasizing team-centered approaches to service delivery and aiming to improve access to primary health care, especially to improve after-hours access and to increase the number of Quebecers with a family doctor.A decade after their implementation, I investigated the impact of GMFs on various measures of access to primary health care and perceived remaining barriers. I emphasize potential access – i.e. measures that capture whether an individual has the ability to access needed health care including having a regular medical doctor.I used data from seven waves of the Canadian Community Health Survey to capture reported access to primary care and barriers to access. GMFs emerged at different rates in different health regions across Quebec allowing the construction of a GMF 'participation' measure using the share of primary care physicians practicing in GMFs in each health region and year. I employed a modified difference-in-difference analysis design that uses multivariate regression analysis to control for time trends in the outcomes, time-invariant differences between regions and individual-level covariates in an attempt to estimate the causal impact of GMF implementation on access to primary health care.I verified that pre-policy differences in terms of population and socioeconomic characteristics between regions with ultimately high vs. low rates of GMF participation are reasonable and remain fixed over time, making comparisons of these regions appropriate. Results suggest that rates of reported access have increased over time in most Quebec health regions. However, these measures of access vary across regions and some always report lower rates of access. Controlling for time trends, fixed differences between regions, and individual characteristics, reported access does not change significantly as GMF participation increases. Improved access to primary health care was one of the principal objectives of Quebec's primary care reform a decade ago. My findings suggest that increased GMF participation has not improved several important measures of access, and that additional policy measures may be necessary to increase potential access to primary health care.
La réforme des soins de santé de première ligne occupe une place prioritaire parmi les réformes de santé, notamment avec une grande importance accordée à des équipes interdisciplinaires de professionnels de santé. Le modèle choisi par Québec, les groupes de médecine de famille (GMFs), a été mis en place à la fin de 2002. Ce modèle met l'emphase sur des équipes interprofessionnelles et vise à augmenter le nombre de Québécois avec un médecin de famille, ainsi qu'à offrir une plus grande accessibilité des services de la première ligne, notamment hors les heures normales de travail. Une décennie après leur implantation, j'ai étudié l'impact des GMFs sur diverses mesures d'accès aux soins de santé de première ligne. Je mets l'emphase sur l'accès potentiel – c'est-à-dire les mesures permettant de déterminer si un individu a la possibilité d'accéder aux soins de santé nécessaires, y compris d'avoir un médecin régulier.J'ai utilisé des données de sept cycles de l'Étude sur la santé dans les collectivités canadiennes pour capturer l'accès déclaré aux soins de première ligne et obstacles à cet accès. Il existe une variation régionale dans l'implantation des GMFs à travers les différentes régions sociosanitaires du Québec, ce qui me permet de construire une mesure de participation aux GMFs constituée de la proportion des médecins de première ligne pratiquant en GMF par région sociosanitaire et par année. J'ai employé une analyse qui consiste de modèles de différence-dans-les-différences modifiées qui utilise une analyse de régression multivariée pour contrôler les tendances temporelles, les différences constantes entre les régions, et les covariables au niveau individuel, le but étant d'estimer l'effet causal de la mise en œuvre des GMFs sur l'accès aux soins de santé de première ligne.J'ai vérifié que les différences de caractéristiques populationnelles et socio-économiques dans la période pré-politique entre les régions ayant un taux élevé par rapport à celles ayant un faible taux de participation aux GMFs sont raisonnables et fixes au cours des années de mon étude, rendant ainsi toute comparaison de ces régions appropriées. Les résultats suggèrent que les taux d'accès déclarés ont augmenté au fil du temps dans la plupart des régions sociosanitaires du Québec. Toutefois, ces mesures d'accès varient selon les régions et certains signalent toujours des taux inférieurs d'accès. Contrôlant pour les tendances temporelles, les différences fixes entre les régions, et les caractéristiques individuelles, l'accès déclaré ne change pas de manière significative avec l'augmentation de la participation aux GMFs.Un meilleur accès aux soins de santé de première ligne constituait l'un des principaux objectifs explicites de la réforme des soins de santé de première ligne de 2002. Mes résultats suggèrent que l'augmentation de la participation aux GMFs n'a pas amélioré plusieurs mesures importantes d'accès. En conséquence, des politiques supplémentaires pourraient être nécessaires pour accroître l'accès potentiel aux soins de santé de première ligne.

Abstract:

Background: The importance of effective team work for improving quality of care has been demonstrated consistently in research. We conducted a baseline measure of team effectiveness and a baseline measure of primary health care performance. Aim: To improve Primary health care team effectiveness and ultimately the quality and user experience of primary care at Du Noon Community Health Centre. (CHC) Setting: Du Noon CHC in the southern/western substructure of the Cape Town Metro district services. Methods: A cross sectional study using a combination of Nominal Group Technique (NGT) method and a questionnaire survey to assess PHC team effectiveness and to obtain baseline measure for Primary Health Care (PHC) organization and performance. Results: Data from 20 providers from the primary health care team, showed that the PHC team members perceived their team as a well functioning team (70% agreement on the 7 items of the PHC team assessment tool, incorporated in the ZA PCAT. The NGT method reveals that communication and leadership are the main challenges to effective team functioning, The NGT also provides ideas on how to deal with these challenges. Data from 110 users and 12 providers using the ZA PCAT: 18.2% of users rated first contact-access as acceptable to good; 47,3% rated ongoing care as acceptable to good. The remaining subdomains of the ZA PCAT were rated as acceptable to good by at least 65% of the users. 33% of the providers (doctors and clinical nurse practitioners) rated first contact-access as acceptable to good; 25% rated ongoing care as acceptable to good, the remaining subdomains of the ZA PCAT were rated as acceptable to good by at least 50% of providers. First contact-access received the lowest acceptable to good score (18.2%) and comprehensiveness (service available) received the highest score (88.2%) from the users. For the providers the lowest acceptable to good score was for ongoing care (25%) and the highest acceptable to good score was for primary health care team (100%). The total primary scores are good (above 60%) for both users and providers but moderately higher for the providers. Conclusions: How teams perceive their effectiveness can motivate them to generate ideas for improvement. There were discrepancies between ZA PCAT (PHC team functioning) results and the NGT method results. The ZA PCAT (8 pre-existing domains) baseline results show a contrast between providers' and users' perceptions of the PHC system at Du Noon consistent with the finding of the Western Cape ZA PCAT study. We encourage Du Noon CHC to use these results to improve the user experience of primary health care services there.

Abstract:

Prevalence of missed health care by life course stage is examined with a critique of the measure of missed care. Canadians reporting missed care has increased from 4.2% in 1995 to 12.5% in 2001. Research questions: 1. Who reports missed care in Canada? 2. What are the relationships among life course stages, social support, predisposing, enabling and need factors to the reporting of missed care? 3. What is the role that life course stages play in the relationships among social support, predisposing, enabling, and need factors? 4. What kinds of health care are Canadians reporting they missed? 5. What reasons are provide for missing care?; and 6. Who accesses primary care and what is the relationship to reporting missed care? Methods: Analysis was done using the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.1. Nested multiple logistic regression models explore the relationships among variables of interest predicting missed care. Results: Young adults (18-30) are more likely to report missed care compared to other age groups and are least likely to have a regular doctor. Social support is most significantly protective against missed care for young adults. Weak sense of belonging to a local community and lower income are stronger predictors of missed care for young adults. Young adults differ from others in the reasons they report for missed care (i.e., more likely to report cost as a barrier). Discussion: It's not clear if the difference between young adults and other life course stages is in actual missed care or expectations of primary care. Yet, the literature on emerging adulthood invites curiosity about how delayed adulthood leaves them in less stable, financially insecure, socially and institutionally isolated situations that have subsequent consequences for primary care access. Changes in models of primary care have led to a decline in comprehensive care and more drop-in clinics; while, not having a regular doctor is associated with missed care. If patterns of inadequate primary care access established in young adulthood are perpetuated in later life, this may foretell undesirable consequences for the health of Canadians. A new model for measuring unmet health care needs is proposed.

Abstract:

Collaboration is an increasingly adopted strategy for addressing many of society's most complex and pressing public challenges. The General Practice Services Committee’s Divisions of Family Practice initiative offers a rich example of collaborative partnerships in action within the context of the primary health care system of British Columbia. Divisions of Family Practice are community-based nonprofit organizations consisting of family physician members. Division members work in partnership with health authority administrators and other community organization representatives with the goal of working at local and regional levels, through collaborative processes, to co-design locally feasible solutions for better delivery of primary health care services leading to improved provider and patient satisfaction. The research focuses on the question, “How can Divisions create and sustain effective collaborative practices”? This question is explored through a practitioner inquiry. The inquiry includes: a description of the General Practice Services Committee and the Divisions of Family Practice initiative; a review of the relevant literature; observations and reflections on the experience of collaborative process within the Divisions initiative from my perspective as an administrator supporting the initiative; and concludes by suggesting that further study in the areas of initiative sustainability, inclusive patient involvement, and a more culturally diverse leadership would be beneficial. The findings of the inquiry support the notion that educating about the processes of collaboration, the inherent obstacles and challenges, and the role of the behaviours of the participants, are instrumental in supporting effective collaborative partnerships. The inquiry has informed the second part of thesis, a participation guide and process handbook designed to share a model, processes and tools to foster the collaborative work of the Divisions and their partners.

Abstract:

Integrated care is rapidly becoming the new paradigm of healthcare and with the transition into integrated practice, many providers from various disciplines must determine how best to work as a team to improve patient outcomes. One particular setting where the logistics of integrated practice must be scrutinized is pediatric primary care, specifically in rural areas, as many psychological problems are presented in pediatric primary care, and rural children are at greater risk for engaging in unhealthy behaviors, such as sedentary lifestyle, poorer nutrition, and greater substance use. All of these concerns can be ameliorated with successful referral to behavioral health consultants (BHC) who can assist in treating these various psychosocial issues. In order for the BHC to assist with patients with psychosocial concerns, other medical providers must be able to recognize and refer these patients to the BHC. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of psychosocial concerns in pediatric primary care and how often the attending medical provider noticed these concerns and referred the patient for behavioral health services. The study also examined what types of psychosocial concerns were raised, and if the referral was not addressed during the same visit, the latency between the initial referral and the behavioral health service. Retrospective electronic health record data (N=300) was collected from the well visits of all 4 and 5 year old patients in 2014 from a rural Appalachian pediatric primary care clinic. Results indicated that when a psychosocial issue was raised, the majority of medical providers appropriately referred the patient to the BHC. Psychosocial concerns were raised in 21.3% (n=64) of visits. When psychosocial concerns were raised, 62.5% (n=40) were referred for behavioral health services with 87.5% (n=35) to the in house BHC. When patients were referred to the in-house BHC, 83.3% (n =30) received services immediately, while patients who were not seen immediately, 16.7% (n=5), waited for an average 21 days to be seen by the BHC. The most common psychosocial concerns raised were related to toilet training, temper tantrums, sleep hygiene, and hyperactivity. These findings highlight the high prevalence of psychosocial issues presented in rural pediatric primary care and the continued education of providers about recognizing these concerns so the appropriate referral can be made. These findings also highlight the need for more integrated practice as primary care is the often the primary source of healthcare in rural areas and by addressing all concerns about patient well-being in this setting via integrated care, patient physical and mental health outcomes can be greatly improved.

Primary health services exist with the purpose of providing basic health care to every person at a cost they can afford. But is it fully available to everyone? The objective of this work project is to estimate the demand for primary health care services having into account that in some regions the citizens are not using as much health care as they would like due to supply side constraints. Using the number of consultations as proxy for demand, and applying an econometric tool called switching regression, the demand for primary health care services will be estimated.

Abstract:

The prevalence of untreated and undertreated mental health concerns and the comorbidity of chronic conditions and mental illness has led to greater calls for the integration of primary care and mental health. In 2012, the Oregon Health Authority authorized 16 Coordinated Care Organizations (CCO) to partner with their local communities to better coordinate physical, behavioral, and dental health care for Medicaid recipients. One part of this larger effort to increase coordination is the integration of primary care and mental health services in both primary care and community mental health settings. The underlying assumption of CCOs is that organizations have the capacity to fundamentally change how health care is organized, delivered, and financed in ways that lead to improved access, quality of care, and health outcomes. Using the Rainbow Model of Integrated Care (RMIC), this study examined the factors that impact organizational efforts to facilitate the integration of primary care and mental health through interviews with executive and senior staff from three CCOs. The RMIC focuses attention on the different levels at which integration processes may occur as well as acknowledges the role that both functional and normative enablers of integration can play in facilitating integration processes within as well as across levels. The following research question was explored: What key factors in Oregon's health care system impede or facilitate the ability of Coordinated Care Organizations to encourage the integration of primary care and mental health? Using a case study approach, this study drew upon qualitative methods to examine and identify the factors throughout the system, organizational, professional, and clinic levels that support CCO efforts to facilitate the integration of primary care and mental health. Fourteen primary interviews were conducted with executive and senior staff. In addition, eleven secondary interviews from a NIDA funded project as well as twenty-four key CCO documents from three CCOs were also included in this study. The RMIC was successful in differentiating extent of CCO integration of primary care and mental health. Findings demonstrate that normative and functional enablers of integration were most prevalent at the system and organization level for integrating mental health into primary care for these three CCOs. However, there was variation in CCO involvement in the development of functional and normative enablers of integration at the professional and clinic levels. Normative and functional enablers of integration were limited at all of the RMIC levels for integrating primary care into community mental health settings across all three CCOs. The Patient-Centered Primary Care Home model provided CCOs with an opportunity to develop functional and normative enablers of integration for integrating mental health in primary care settings. The lack of a fully developed model for integrating primary care services in community mental health settings serves as a barrier for reverse integration. An additional barrier is the instability of community mental health as compared to primary care; contributing factors include historically low wages and increased administrative burden. System wide conversations about where people are best served (i.e., primary care or community mental health) has yet to occur; yet these conversations may be critical for facilitating cross-collaboration and referral processes. Finally, work is needed to create and validate measures of integration for both primary care and community mental health settings. Overall findings confirm that integrating primary care and mental health is complex but that organizations can play an important role by ensuring the development of normative and functional enablers of integration at all levels of the system.

Master of Public Health - MPH
Community health workers (CHWs) are integral to improve Primary health care (PHC) coverage, utilising their unique skills within the community to make services accessible and equitable. PHC is the cornerstone of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill for the provision of Universal Health Care (UHC). The Department of Health (DOH) in the Western Cape, South Africa, has set priorities and requirements for the provision of funding to Non-profit organisations (NPOs) for forming coalitions with the Health Department to deliver various aspects of health care. The post-2015 agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are underscored by a strong sense of intersectoral collaboration to work together to attain sufficient and sustainable progress. Collaboration between CHWs and PHC facilities is important in aligning goals and activities to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable approach to ensuring UHC

Abstract:

Blindness is a serious socioeconomic handicap and most causes of blindness are preventable. The Primary Health Care System has been identified by the World Health Organisation as the 'first line of defence' in tackling the health care problems of developing countries. This is as true for eye care as it is for the whole range of other diseases and illnesses that affect a country's population. The Primary Eye Care system is, therefore, essential in the prevention of many ocular disorders that may cause blindness. The aim of the thesis is to define the current status of primary eye care systems in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It will concern itself with identifying and assessing the current resources and facilities that are available for eye patients at the primary health care level. It will also determine the strengths and weaknesses of the existing primary eye care system in the country according to geographical location, covering both urban and rural areas. Specific recommendations for action are formulated, in the light of the data collected, aimed at the reduction, control or elimination of avoidable and curable blindness. The ultimate goal of this thesis is, therefore, to add to the existing knowledge of eye care problems in the Kingdom and to put forward a series of recommendations to help in the prevention of blindness in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Abstract:

This study was conducted to identify the driving factors that affect primary care utilization. It hypothesizes that the cost of treatment is the driving factor that affects a patient's decision to seek medical care from their primary care physician. Furthermore, it also hypothesizes that the uncomfortable conversation with the physician, the concern of someone else finding out about the patient's personal health problems, and the trouble of making an appointment are three independent factors that do not affect primary care utilization. In order to test these hypotheses, secondary data from the CHIS 2009 was collected and analyzed. Unfortunately, the data sets concerning these three independents variables were not released as they were classified to contain confidential data. As a result, healthcare coverage and emergency care utilization were served as proxy variables and were used instead to determine the factors associated with primary care utilization. Statistical analysis of these proxy variables indicates that primary care utilization is associated with health insurance coverage and emergency care utilization.

Abstract:

Este estudo teve como objetivo geral compreender como os serviços de saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS estão organizados, de modo a contemplar a integralidade da assistência à mulher, quando pensamos os processos de produção de cuidado no controle do câncer de colo uterino, a partir da experiência das mulheres acometidas por esse agravo, identificando e analisando o percurso assistencial dessas mulheres, apontando as dificuldades por elas enfrentadas, na perspectiva da integralidade da atenção. A pesquisa teve como suporte teórico a integralidade da atenção, em suas distintas apreensões, desde sua compreensão, não só como um princípio do SUS, mas também como exercício de boas práticas de produção de cuidado e de referência para políticas governamentais. Estudo de abordagem qualitativa, realizado junto a mulheres com diagnóstico de câncer de colo uterino, no período de 2003-2005, em um município do sul do Brasil. Os dados foram coletados de julho a dezembro de 2006, utilizando-se a observação participante da atenção dispensada às mulheres, nos serviços de saúde, e a entrevista semi-estruturada, para captação do empírico. Para os procedimentos analíticos, optou-se pela análise temática, seguindo as etapas sugeridas por Minayo (1998): ordenação, classificação e análise. Foram identificados dois temas: A procura pela assistência: o acesso ao SUS e a utilização dos serviços de saúde, na busca de atenção integral e A integralidade da atenção à saúde. Na procura pela assistência, as mulheres apontaram seu percurso pelo SUS e a utilização dos serviços de saúde, trazendo suas concepções sobre a organização, o acesso, a assistência recebida e as potencialidades e limites da integralidade, nesse contexto de cuidado. Na integralidade da atenção, a comunicação e a relação com a equipe de saúde têm como centralidade a formação do vínculo, a escuta, o diálogo e o acolhimento entre os trabalhadores de saúde e as mulheres. Conclui-se que, nos serviços de saúde, a integralidade da atenção à saúde está em construção, na medida em que os trabalhadores de saúde ainda executam suas atividades pautadas no modelo biomédico e a constituição das mulheres, como sujeitos sociais é meta ainda a ser conquistada. Considera-se fundamental a reflexão e o investimento maciços na educação permanente dos trabalhadores de saúde comprometidos com os princípios do SUS, para o alcance da integralidade nos atos preventivos, curativos, individuais e coletivos, nos diferentes níveis de atuação e articulados com a participação social.
This study had as general objective to understand how the services of health of the Unique system of Health - (USH) SUS are organized on a way to contemplate the integrality of the attendance to the woman when we thought the processes of care production about the control of the cancer of uterine lap, starting from the women\'s experience attacked by this damage, identifying and analyzing the course of assistance of these women pointing to the difficulties faced for them, in the perspective of the integrality of the attention.The research had as theoretical support the integrality of the attention in their distinct apprehensions, since its understanding, not only as a principle of SUS (USH), but also as exercise of good practices of care production and of reference for government politics.Study of qualitative approach, accomplished close to the women with diagnosis of cancer of uterine lap in the period of 2003-2005, in a municipal district of the south of Brazil. The data were collected from July to December of 2006; being used the participant observation of the attention released to the women in the services of health and the interview semi-structured for the empiric reception. For the analytical procedures he/she opted for the thematic analysis following the stages suggested by Minayo (1998): ordination, classification and analysis.There were identified two themes: the search for the attendance: the access SUS (USH) and the use of the services of health.In the search for the attendance the women point their course for SUS (USH) and the utilization of the services of health bringing their conceptions about the organization, the access, the received attendance and the potentialities and limits of the integrality in this care context. The integrality of the attention to the health, the communication and the relationship with the team of health have as centrality the formation of the bond, the listens, the dialogue and the reception between the workers of health and the women. It is conclude that in the services of health the integrality of the attention to the health is in construction in the measure that the workers of health still execute their ruled activities in the biomedical model and the women\'s constitution, while social subjects is a aim to be conquered.It is considered fundamental the reflection and the solid investment in the workers\' of health permanent education committed with the beginnings of SUS for the reach of the integrality in the preventive actions, curatives, individual and collective in the different performance levels and articulated with the social participation.

Abstract:

Purpose: The purpose of this DNP quality improvement project was to increase primary care provider knowledge about indications for adolescent depression screening.

Background: Approximately 13.3% of adolescents experienced depression in the past year. In Oklahoma alone, rates are increasing, with depression totaling 60% of all mental health illness among adolescents. Primary care providers see approximately 75% of adolescents; however, mental health conditions are missed 84% of the time. Current clinical guidelines recommend screening for adolescent depression during wellness visits or when risk factors are present.

Methods: The providers of interest were nurse practitioners, physicians, and physician assistants providing primary care to children between the ages of 12 and 17 in a private pediatric practice group consisting of three clinics. The Model for Improvement guided the process of developing, implementing, and evaluating an educational intervention through use of a pre-test/post-test quantitative design. An email invited participants to complete an anonymous pre-test survey to evaluate knowledge and beliefs surrounding adolescent depression, then view an educational presentation on adolescent depression and screening guidelines, then complete a post-survey to evaluate any changes in knowledge and intention to screen. Results were shared with clinic representatives to help refine the education for future testing cycles and other clinic sites.

Results: Data collection took place over one week. Five providers completed both the pre-test and post-test surveys. Provider knowledge scores significantly increased 29% after participating in the education and self-reported knowledge on screening increased.

Conclusions: DNP quality improvement projects like this help develop strategies to increase best practices, leading to improved patient outcomes. Nurse-led improvement programs like this contribute to healthcare literature and the advancement of the nursing profession by developing patient-centered interventions applicable to a wide variety of providers. Results may be used to develop strategies to increase and align provider practices with best standards to help promote early identification and treatment of adolescents with depression.

Abstract:

Reforms in the early 1980s created Chile's mixed system of health care provision and finance. Since then Chileans have had to choose between a statesubsidised public health insurance system or the private health plans offered by several insurance companies. In the public system, users may be restricted to the public facility network, with no choice of doctor or medical centre, or they may opt for a free choice mode (preferred providers), which lets them choose both doctor and place of attention. Private insurance providers offer a wide variety of health plans, giving the customer a reasonable range of care options. Although this public-private mix has now been operating for more than 20 years, there has been no empirical study of the factors determining the choice of the preferred providers' mode by public beneficiaries. Likewise, few studies have looked at the determinants in the choice between public and private insurance, and the relationship between the latter choice and the use of health services. The first two empirical chapters of this thesis look at the determinants of these sources of choice, using different econometric tools: the choice of preferred providers is examined using a logit model; the analysis into the choice between public and private insurance uses a probit model; and the impact of holding private insurance as a factor in determining use of health services is estimated through a two-stage tobit model. A further significant aspect of the reforms of the '80s was the process of decentralisation for primary health care provision. Since then a substantial part of preventive health care and promotion occurs locally, and among these services children's health checks are an important policy objective. To encourage attendance parents are given free food supplements if they keep to the timetable for their child's check-ups. However these free food handouts partially account for attendance at the check-ups. Thus the final empirical chapter of the thesis uses a probabilistic model to look at the monetary and non-monetary factors that lead parents to request health checks for their children.

Karki, Jiban Kumar. "Health system actors' participation in primary health care in Nepal." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2016. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/15799/.

Abstract:

Background: Nepal was an early adopter of World Health Organization's (WHO) Primary Health Care (PHC) approach with Community Participation (CP) for delivery of basic health care service. These approaches have formed the mainstay of efforts related to provision of health care services in Nepal. However, it has struggled with its implementation because of developmental challenges, poverty, civil war and geography. Hence, it becomes important to seek to understand the dynamics around CP and PHC and how these relate to broader development challenges in the country. The main aim of this research is to understand how various Health System Actors participate in PHC in Nepal and what its implications are in PHC Methods: In order to understand CP in PHC a qualitative case study method was undertaken. Forty-one semi-structured interviews, four focus group discussions (FGD) and observation were conducted with 26 groups of grass root level and district level health systems actors in two Village Development Committees (VDC) of Sindhupalchok district of Nepal in 2014. This study examined how these actors understand PHC and CP, how they participate in it and what motivates or hinders them to participate in PHC. The results are based on data collected from interviews, FGDs, observation and the field notes. Results: There was very low understanding about PHC and CP among actors in these VDCs. Often, CP for these actors was a 'tokenistic participation' which was limited to material contribution, voluntary labour and financial donation in PHC infrastructure development and maintenance. Participation in Health Facility Management Committees and Female Community Health Volunteer were the only mechanisms of CP in PHC, which rarely represented community views. Existing traditional health system was not taken into account. Decisions were imposed top down without considering local context, practices and without involvement of local actors. The main motivations for CP amongst participants were material benefit, social recognition and religious merits whereas geography, opportunity cost, lack of awareness and socio-cultural discrimination, were barriers to participation. Discussions/Conclusions: PHC with CP needs to be contextualized to accommodate, learn and benefit from the existing traditional health system. Similarly, a stronger policy measure is needed to minimize if not to eradicate the discrimination against gender, caste, ethnicity and poverty to increase CP in PHC. In the current socio political situation, geography and current status of infrastructural development in Nepal, neither the government nor the nongovernmental / private sector alone are able to address the increased health care need. Therefore, a wider broad partnership based PHC with CP is recommended as a way forward to ensure basic health care service in Nepal. This has been even more important where reconstruction of the health system is underway after the devastating 2015 earthquake, for the community to feel ownership of local health system.
