Perfil do doente com infecção do trato urinário num serviço de ortopedia

RESUMO - As infecções do trato urinário são um problema constante nas unidades prestadoras de cuidados de saúde. Sabe-se que a incidência das mesmas é das mais elevadas em termos de infecções associadas aos cuidados de saúde, bem como acarretam fortes custos hospitalares devido ao aumento da demora média de internamento, uso de antibioterapia aumentado, entre outros. De modo a tentar compreender toda esta problemática, com a realização deste trabalho de projecto, pretende-se encontrar o perfil do doente com infecção do trato urinário num serviço de Ortopedia. Através deste mesmo perfil, tornar-se-á mais fácil uma vigilância epidemiológica e intervenções mais direccionadas ao problema em questão. Para tal, pretende-se construir um instrumento de colheita de dados que caracterize o doente de uma forma geral, antes, e durante o próprio internamento. Caso este mesmo instrumento fosse aplicado, pretender-se-ia cruzar as váriáveis concluindo eventualmente o perfil, justificando melhor o facto da existência de infecções urinárias e adequando medidas de prevenção. ------------ -ABSTRACT - The urinary infections are a constant problem in the health care facilities. It is known that the incidence of these infections is one of the biggest in terms of infections associated to health care, as well as they bring higher hospital costs, due to the middle delay of internment, the increased use of antibioterapy, as long as others. In the way of trying to understand all problems, with the realization of this work project, one intends to find the profile of the orthopedic patient with urinary infection, in the Orthopedic Service. Trough this same profile, it will be easier to do an epidemiological surveillance and more directed interventions to the problem in matter. To achieve this goal, it is claimed to build an instrument of data collection that characterizes the patient in a general way, before and during the internment. If this instrument would be applied, it would be intended to cross the variables concluding eventually the profile, justifying better the fact of the existence of urinary infection

The Portuguese Administrative Elite, 1851-1910

The aim of this article is to examine the composition and patterns of recruitment of the ministries’directors-general, as well as to assess the interconnections between bureaucracy and politics, from the beginnings of Regeneração (1851) until the breakdown of Monarchy (1910). The post of director-general was considered one of “political trust”, that might be filled by individuals from outside the civil service, and the selection and de-selection of officeholders depended exclusively on the ministers’ will. Nonetheless, most directors-general were experienced bureaucrats, boasting a steady career as civil servants, and remained in office for long terms, regardless of ministerial discontinuities. In other words, High Administration became relatively immune to party-driven politics. Due to their professional background and lengthy tenure, directors-general were usually highly skilled specialists, combining technical expertise and practical knowledge of the wheels of state bureaucracy. Hence, they were often influential actors in policy-making, playing an active (and sometimes decisive) part behind the scenes, in both designing and implementing government policies. As regards their social profile, directors-general formed a cohesive and homogeneous elite group: being predominantly drawn from urban middle class milieus, highly educated, and appointed to office in their forties.
