O processo decisório na seleção de planos de assistência médica em instituições financeiras: um estudo de caso

A implantação de programas de beneficios envolvendo planos de assistência médica tem adquirido, nas organizações em geral, uma importância crucial por duas ordens de razão: i) porque se constitui num dos bens mais desejados e necessitados pelos funcionários e seus familiares(o que decorre, sobretudo, da dificil situação financeira e do estado de penúria do sistema oficial de saúde e previdência, que, já há alguns anos, é incapaz de atender à demanda existente com um padrão mínimo de qualidade); e ii) porque envolve, além de decisões de caráter financeiro (tendo em conta os ainda elevados custos dessa espécie de serviço no Brasil), um conjunto de variáveis de natureza quantitativa e qualitativa, nem sempre homogêneas, que exigem um esforço de análise e o estabelecimento de métodos rigorosos para que se tome a correta decisão do ponto de vista de um justo equilíbrio entre os custos envolvidos e os beneficios usufruídos pelos participantes. A presente dissertação ocupa-se justamente de acompanhar, detalhar e apresentas, um processo de análise que leva à escolha do programa de saúde mais adequado, partindo de um sistema básico de informações e estabelecendo um cuidadoso processo decisório. Utilizando a técnica do estudo de caso, o trabalho acompanha a experiência de uma organização de consultoria da área de beneficios (onde o autor da dissertação atua como colaborador) em sua interação com um cliente do segmento financeiro da economia (segmento esse que é um dos mais rigorosos na exigência de decisões ponderadas e racionais), no qual se estabelece um processo decisório cuidadoso para justificar a escolha do mais indicado plano de assistência médica para seus funcionários. Mediante o emprego de matrizes quantitativas com cruzamento de informações, o trabalho apresenta uma possível forma de elucidar um dos problemas mais freqüentes e relevantes da área de Recursos Humanos

Judicialização da saúde e assistência farmacêutica no pós-88 : efeitos na administração pública municipal do Estado de São Paulo

Com a crescente judicialização dos conflitos políticos no Judiciário brasileiro, questões como o direito à saúde e acesso a ações de saúde passam a ser decididas junto aos tribunais, produzindo diversos efeitos na Administração e políticas públicas já em andamento. A partir da Constituição Federal de 1988, o direito à saúde passou a ter, além de sua abordagem política e técnica, uma abordagem jurídica. Essa duplicidade faz com que sua interpretação, aplicação e efetividade encontrem soluções muito distintas nos poderes públicos. Tendo em vista a necessidade da criação de políticas públicas para a efetivação do direito à saúde de modo universal e igualitário, assim como a atuação do Judiciário na justiça distributiva, uma série de consequências e dificuldades é apontada pela doutrina jurídica para a Administração Pública. O trabalho objetiva verificar os efeitos específicos da interpretação e participação do Judiciário nas políticas públicas municipais de Assistência Farmacêutica do SUS, pois as ações e decisões judiciais, neste contexto, produzem diferentes efeitos na Administração Pública (responsável pelas políticas públicas de assistência farmacêutica). Essa participação judicial e seus efeitos podem, por um lado, ser proveitosas e auxiliar na proteção do direito à saúde, promovendo e estruturando políticas públicas; contudo, podem, também, proporcionar consequências desastrosas para a performance da Administração. A hipótese do trabalho é de que a atuação do Judiciário, ao condenar a Administração Pública Municipal na Assistência Farmacêutica, não gera consequências positivas, e sim negativas, dificultando a gestão política do SUS. Portanto, o trabalho discute essa participação do Judiciário na saúde e os efeitos no Sistema Único de Saúde, no âmbito municipal no Estado de São Paulo.

O processo de trabalho e a composição técnica do trabalho do enfermeiro no cuidado à saúde da criança em unidades de saúde da familia

With the trajectory that the problems related to child health are taking in our society, particularly with regard to infant mortality, beyond the process of decentralization of health and the implementation of the Family Health Strategy in the cities, where it has increased considerably performance of nursing staff in Primary Health Care, they can be considered essential factors for reflections on the care of nurse dispenses the health of these children. In order to check how it is organized the working process of the nurse in caring for these children in USFs as well as the difficulties found in the dynamics of this work, this research aimed to analyze the work processes of nurses in care Child Health in USFs, with emphasis on technologies used in producing care. This is a research exploratory and descriptive with qualitative approach, based on the theoretical reference in about Work Process and Composition Technique of Work. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews of 11 nurses who, at the moment, perform their functions for more than 01 year at USF. The guiding questions were based at theoretical reference. To analyze the results, was used the referential of content analysis, and was refer to thematic analysis. In situations that were involved closed questions of the interview, was used the aid of SPSS 15.0 program for Windows. The results indicated that the process of nurse work in health care of children, focuses on the preventive character, whose focus of the actions are healthy children, following the routines and protocols established by the Ministry of Health with a view to maintaining health them. When analyzing the data through theoretical references of Composition Technique of Work found that the core technologies of daily tasks of the nurse are directed for the use of technology soft-hard and hard, and the reason established between the Dead Working and Alive Working, there is prevalence of the first against the second in the production of this care. These situations contribute to the explanation of the emergence problems related to adhesion of mothers / caregivers to monitoring the CD, due to character prescriptive and normalizer of actions. The results also suggested the presence of "vanishing lines" in the make of nurses, confirming the self-governance of health professionals in daily work. These "vanishing lines" express the own execution of the Work Live in action, guided by the use of soft technologies, however, was not characterized as a process of technology transition. So, to get a better resolution to the problems related to child health, the nurse has reorganize your work process by focusing on the execution of work live in action.

Serviço de atendimento móvel de urgência (SAMU) e a assistência às urgências psiquiátricas

The objective of this work which is characterized as an applied research, with a qualitative exploratory approach and has case study character has been the analysis of the conceptions and dealings of health professionals of SAMU in Natal RN about the attendance of psychiatric urgencies. The information was collected between the months of March and April of 2010, by means of semi-structured interviews, performed with 24 health professionals integrating of SAMU-Natal as well as the usage of direct observation technique, performed in the institution's medical regulation room. Both the number of professionals involved in the interviews and the bringing about of the observations, were determined by saturation methods in qualitative research's information collecting. The interviews and observations were transcribed and submitted to contents analysis technique , more specifically, to thematic analysis, which made possible to reach the deepest levels, that go beyond what has simply been manifest in the speech of the interviewed, getting to the relations among the categories and social structures of the issue of the research. Keeping this in mind, three analysis categories have been built, namely: conceptions and concepts of psychiatric urgencies shared by health professionals in SAMU-Natal; attendances to psychiatric urgencies in SAMU-Natal; and the Brazilian Psychiatric Reformation under the view of the SAMU-Natal's health professionals. Reflection about the analyzed information revealed discussions pertaining to the stigma and prejudice on mental illness, and also, pointed out to some hindrances which impair the attendance to individuals in mental suffering in SAMU-Natal. The interviewed health professionals' conceptions on the individual in psychical crisis involve concepts of unpredictability, aggressiveness and risk, stigmatizing elements and historically associated to the social hazard ideology and need for mentally sicks' segregation. The predominance of these conceptions, seen in health professionals speech, had identifiable reflexes on assistance to psychiatric demands performed by SAMU-Natal, namely: indiscriminate request for military police's presence during psychic crisis intervention, neglect about occasions that involve mental health patients, as well as repetitive assisting practice directed on physical contention, and transportation to psychiatric hospital. Associated to it, the professionals have shown distorted and reductionist understanding about Brazilian Psychiatric Reformation, and, in the majority, haven't lent credibility to present model of attention to mental health, based on psycho-social treatment, pointing their speech to a need for psychiatric patient's internment. In this sense, we notice that the hospital-centered and excluding model conceived by classical psychiatry still remains alive in these health professionals' mentality as a reference to psychiatric urgency's assistance. Therefore, the research revealed a sequence of elements, that make us think about the challenges that health sector and society must face to realize Brazilian Psychiatric Reformation's principles and guidelines

Validação de protocolo de assistência para pessoas com úlcera venosa na atenção primária

People with venous ulcers constitute as an important public health problem, its treatment is onerous and require assistance provided by trained professionals, systematized through protocols, however what lies in the assistance is that the management of this group of people differs from that preconized in the scientific literature, interfering with wound healing and quality of life of affected. In this sense, the construction of a assistance protocol specific to people with venous ulcers (VU) can help professionals of the Family Health Strategy both in patient assessment as and in establishment of quality assistance. Thus, this study aimed to analyse the validity of a multiprofessional assistance protocol for people with venous ulcers in primary care by health professionals using Delphi technique. This is a quantitative study, the methodological type conducted in two steps: first step related to integrative literature review to subsidize the development of the protocol, then these aspects were organized and proposed to the judges of the study through the Delphi technique. The study was initiated after approval by the Research Ethics Committee. The first step was performed between August and September 2012, in the virtual library of health, in the page of the Coordination of Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, of Municipal Health Secretariat and international guidelines of associations and in the subsequent step carried out between September 2012 to January 2013, was performed search by Lattes platform of the National Council of Technological and Scientific Development, in order to identify health professionals in Brazil who act as judges of the instrument and then, via online, the form was submitted to them.The sample for the second step was 51 judges in the first round and 35 for the second round Delphi. The analysis was done by adopting Kappa index ≥ 0.81 and Content Validity Index (CVI)> 0.80. In the first submission for the judges, items that did not reach Kappa and CVI established were: request / realization / test results, demographic data, medical history, risk factors, verification of pain / vital signs / pulse / infection signs / lesion location/ edema and pain treatment. After removal of items which have not obtained Kappa or CVI index established, it was found achieving optimal levels of these index for the categories. In the next step was the ressubmissão of protocol to judges through the Delphi technique in it was found that, of the 15 categories of the protocol, 12 presented higher scores in Delphi 2 phase and the other three categories remained the same Kappa and IVC of the previous phase. As for the average of evaluation requirements of the protocol was found that the scores assigned by the judges were higher in the second phase in nine of the 10 items, remaining the same in only one of the items indicating validity of the instrument before the consensus of the judges. Thus, we accepted the alternative hypothesis in this study, as they were obtained in the second Delphi phase the validity index greater than or equal to the Delphi 1 phase. The formulation of this assistance protocol valid and reproducible will enable a reorganization and redesign of assistance, with standardization of actions and continuity of care for persons with venous ulcers in primary health care

Biossegurança e a saúde do trabalhador na assistência a pacientes em tratamento onco-hematológico

In recent years, the biosafety has been made possible a new look which are based the conceptions of health and illness process, as well as human needs. This new vision is focused on health vigilance that is referenced specifically in this study to the worker s health. The health of workers is essential for the prevention and control of epidemics and outbreaks of diseases as well as emerging and reemerging diseases. The present study wants to show the importance of biosafety measures for health workers, showing them through the concepts in their daily work. It is also to direct the use of biosafety measures in the care of oncology and hematology patients care, because of its infection susceptibility. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the conceptions of health workers in the biosafety pratice to the patients in oncological and hematological treatment in an oncological institution in Natal / RN, as well as make a socio-demographic profile of these workers and to know their difficulties to adequate biosafety measures. METODOLOGIA: The research is exploratory descriptive with qualitative approach, using the technique of oral history. The use of this technique is justified for the possibility of analyze the conceptions of health workers in the face of biosafety measures. From the definition of analysis categories that have emerged in the study. The categories were: daily work, education, occupational risk and onco-hematological care. The research population was the health workers who provide care to patients in oncological and hematological treatment. The study was conducted in the League against Cancer, in Natal / RN, specifically in the unit Luiz Antonio Hospital. Data collections were conducted from June to August of 2011 and were interviewed sixteen employees who assist in oncology and hematology. Structured interviews were conducted in three shifts, given the prospects of expanding the possibilities of analysis of the biosafety concepts. After data collection, the interviews were analyzed qualitatively by the technique of oral history. This genre, thematic oral history is a modern resource used for preparation of documents, files and studies concerning the social experience of people and groups with the construction of a script prior to the interview moment (MEIHY, 2002). ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION: It was made a reflection about the concepts and practices of professionals who take care of patients in oncology and hematology as well as its relation to biosafety measures. The speech of employees revealed that the adoption has been very supportive of these standards, although some have been highlighted gaps in the understanding of employees in relation to biosafety and the proposed categories. CONCLUSION: The analysis of information showed that biosafety has been cited by employees as an immeasurable benefit to safety and occupational health. And the strengths marks in their understanding were: the excellence of care and safety in occupational diseases risk reduction and infections resulting from their work activities, despite some difficulties in adopting appropriate biosafety standards

Evidências de validação de um protocolo para assistência às pessoas com úlceras venosas em serviços de alta complexidade

Venous ulcers are lesions resulting from chronic venous insufficiency, venous valvular abnormalities and venous thrombosis. Its occurrence has been growing with the increase in life expectancy of the world population. Considered as fundamental aspects in the approach to the person with venous ulcer care with the interdisciplinary approach, adoption of protocol-specific knowledge, technical skill, coordination between levels of care complexity of the Health System and active participation of patients and their families, a holistic perspective. The construction of a clinical protocol for people with venous ulcers can help professionals of high complexity services in patient assessment and the establishment of quality care in a systematic way and focused on the factors that interfere with wound healing. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the evidence of validation of a clinical protocol for people with venous ulcers treated at high-complexity services. This is a methodological study with a quantitative approach, developed in three stages: literature review, evidence of content validity and evidence of validation in the clinical context. Approved by the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte Research Ethics Committee (Opinion: 147.452 and CAAE: 07556312.0.0000.5537). The literature review was conducted in August and September 2012, becoming the basis for the construction of the protocol. Then the evidence of content validity, which included 53 judges (experts) selected by the Lattes platform to evaluate the protocol items was performed. The judges were contacted by e-mail and rated the protocol via Google Docs . After analyzing the ratios obtained in this step, which reported kappa between 0.75 and 0.96 and between 0.80 and 0.98 IVC, and the suggestions of the judges, the protocol was adjusted and subjected to empirical evidence to validate the clinical setting at the University Hospital Onofre Lopes in Natal / RN. Evidence of validation in the clinical setting involved 4 judges who acted in pairs (paired) evaluated 32 patients with venous ulcers in the clinical context of high complexity. In both stages, we used the Kappa Index and Content Validity Index to analyze the responses of the judges. The parameters set as acceptable for these indices were: Kappa ≥ 0.61 and Content Validity Index > 0.80. Any evidence of content validity, as evidence of validation in the clinical context, the protocol items that have not reached Kappa and Content Validity Index established indices were excluded and some items were modified or added after suggestions. The process of content validation evidence and evidence of validation in the clinical setting allowed the improvement of the protocol for the care of people with venous ulcers initially proposed. The initial version of the protocol, built from the literature, contained 15 categories and 108 items; after evidence of content validity, remained the reduction to 15 categories with 91 items; the final version, clinically validated, is composed of the same 15 categories, 76 items. The protocol was validated in its content and in the clinical aspect, so we accepted the alternative hypothesis in the study. This protocol may contribute to the care system, allowing tailor behaviors and promote greater resolution in the treatment of people with venous ulcers in health services of high complexity

Segredos da alma: a dádiva da assistência de Enfermagem

The present study is an analysis of interpersonal relationships between the nursing staff and the patients under their care. Its objectives are to analyze ties/links that may possibly exist in such relationships and to describe, based on the experience of the patients, how they are received by the nursing staff, and what is the extent of their reliability on the nursing staff within the hospital. This investigation is analytical in nature and qualitative in approach, having as its leading thought Marcel Mauss s gift-exchange theory. The study involved eighteen in-patients, eight of them from government institutions, at a large hospital school and ten others from a private specialty hospital; both in the city of Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Data were collected between January and March 2006. Results point to ties being created between the nursing staff and patients irrespective of their social status, involving especially the development of friendship and reliability. We have noticed that in both services the interpersonal relationship is associated with the circulation of the symbolic goods mentioned in the patients discourse, such as attention, loving care and concern, among others, marking the formation of ties during hospital stay. Likewise, reliability is also present in close relationship with the technical competence of the professional. Patient hospitality is associated with the manner in which the patients were treated on being admitted to the hospital, although they also refer to hospitality at later moments, during the course of their treatment. Finally, we are in a position to say that there are ties/links between in-patients and nursing staff, irrespective of the patient s social status and class divide. It is thus evident that the antiutilitarian symbolism of gift to give, receive, give back -, which shapes the setting of social ties also takes place in today s utilitarian, individualistic and competitive societies. Thus, human beings whose existence is dependent on mutual relationships try to save their humanity, especially those who are fragile and dependent as is the case of the hospital in-patient

Compreensão do típico ideal de técnicos de enfermagem acerca da sistematização da assistência de enfermagem

This study aimed to understand the typical ideal of the nursing technician about the systematization of nursing care in the light of the theoretical framework of Alfred Schutz. It is a comprehensive phenomenological research, using the theoretical framework of Alfred Schutz. For the unveiling of the phenomenon (the typical ideal of the nursing technician about the systematization of nursing care), the search process was configured from the proposed guiding principles for a research methodology based on the work itself of Schutz held by Zeferino (2010) in his PhD. For data collection, we used the focus group technique, counting on the collaboration of thirteen practical nurses working in a university hospital in Rio Grande do Norte, who responded positively to the inclusion criteria: working in the study hospital, performing care direct to patients. Forty-four subjects showed interest in participating, being held a draw for selection of the research sample, consisting of 14 professionals, one of whom did not attend the gathering of data collection. The focus group, entitled "What I think about the systematization of nursing care", took place on February 15th, 2013, totaling 101 minutes. It was performed according to the Experiential Education Humanescent using building posters as projective technique, from the key question: "What is the systematization of nursing care for you?". In order to understand some of the biographical situation of the participants, a questionnaire was administered to study participants. From the agreement of the subjects, the focus group was recorded and photographed with the cooperation of one reporter and two other employees. We used Microsoft Word 2010 to perform the transcript of the meeting and Microsoft Excel 2010 for synthesizing the results via a spreadsheet. The study followed the ethical and legal principles that govern scientific research on humans, recommended in Resolution nº 196/96, it was approved by Opinion Embodied Ethics Committee in Research of UFRN (Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte), nº 98 424, of August 31th, 2012, CAAE No. 05906912.0.0000.5537. The analysis of the nursing staff speeches, along with the contemplation of their posters and their written descriptions, allowed from the guiding principles of Zeferino (2010), in light of the reference of Alfred Schutz, unveiling the typical ideal of nursing technicians about the systematization of nursing care, passing four themes: typing of the concept of systematization of nursing care; benefits, which resulted in the reasons to believe in the positivity of this working tool; experienced problems, revealing the world of everyday life of nursing professionals, and possibilities for improvement. It was concluded that the nursing technicians are unaware of the systematization of nursing care. However, they typify a very positive perception about the same, especially with regard to improvements that may foster care

Avaliação da assistência à saúde dos portadores de úlceras venosas atendidos no programa saúde da família do município de Natal/RN

Descriptive research aimed at evaluating the assistance offered to patients with venous ulcers, on lower limbs, attended by the Family Health Program (FHP) team, from the municipality of Natal/RN. The target population was composed of 74 patients with venous ulcers (VU), attended by the FHP teams in the 31 FHUs. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (protocol n.55/05). The data collection was performed in patients homes and in the FHUs, through structured interviews and physical examinations of patients with VU and non-participant observation during the changing of wound dressings in these Units and in users homes. The data was organized into an Excel electronic table and transported into the SPSS 14.0 program, for descriptive analysis on 2x2 contingency tables and inferential (Qui-Square χ2, Spearman Correlation, Binomial Proportion Test and p-value <0.05). The prevalence of VU (0.36/1000) in the target population (over 20 years of age) was greater than in the population registered in FHP (0.25/1000). We detected a greater prevalence in the age area of over 60 years (2.22/1000), with 2.98/1000 for females and 1.3/1000 for males (p-value=0.008). The sociodemographical and health characteristics of patients with VU revealed predominance of females (74.5%), elders over 60 years of age (67.6%), with fundamental education (74.3%), family earnings of up to 2 minimum wages (68.9%), retired (90.5%), ortostatic position (23.0%), inadequate sleep (59,9%), presence of CVI (100.0%), hypertension (44.6%) and diabetes (25.7%). As for the time of existence of the VU, 64.9% had over 1 year, and 35.1% less than 1 year), with predominance of one wound (67.6%). The changing of wound dressings is performed mostly at home, in and inadequate way, especially with incorrect cleaning techniques, likewise incorrect use of products and substances, and reduced participation of the FHP team on the evaluation and application of the dressing and choosing of products and substances. The compressive therapy is not part of therapeutic conducts for treatment in the FHUs. As for the evaluation of assistance to patients with VU, 90.5% were inadequate and only 9.5% adequate. The main inadequacy factors were the absence of: diagnosis (47.3%), consultation with and angiologist (63.5%), compressive treatment (100.0%), adequate optical therapy (98.62%), adequate dressing kit (70.3%), training for the changing of dressings (67.6%), following by the FHP team (51.4%) and performed exams (55.4%). We ve concluded that patients with VU mostly present now socioeconomical level and associated chronic diseases. Considering that assistance offered by FHP is non-systematic, fragmented, with no diagnosis planning, continual evaluation and evolution, we qualify the assistance as inadequate and with low level of solution, directly interfering on the maintenance of the VUs chronic state

Da percepção de impotência à luta por justiça na assistência à saúde

A busca por espaços comunicativos para reflexão sobre o exercício e a prática da enfermagem, usando referenciais bioéticos, teve o objetivo de apreender como os enfermeiros participantes do estudo interpretam a realidade da sua prática perante a observância da justiça. Utilizou-se a técnica de grupo focal para coleta de dados e, para análise, a Grounded Theory. Foram identificados três fenômenos: conceituando senso de justiça; sentindo-se impotente em conviver com iniquidades/injustiças; movendo-se em direção às lutas por justiça. da inter-relação deles, emergiu a categoria central: construindo mecanismos de superação de injustiças e iniquidades que minam a qualidade da assistência de enfermagem: a experiência de enfermeiros recém-formados em um hospital estadual do interior paulista. A estratégia de grupo focal mostrou-se muito adequada à consecução dos objetivos propostos, e a Grounded Theory permitiu a compreensão do movimento empreendido pelos enfermeiros nessa experiência.

Saúde mental e trabalho na assistência social: vivências de sofrimento psíquico e estratégias de defesa dos(as) servidores(as) públicos(as) municipais da FUNPAPA em Belém/PA

Inserido no contexto das relações estabelecidas entre saúde mental e trabalho, este estudo tem por objetivo analisar as vivências de sofrimento psíquico dos servidores responsáveis pela execução dos serviços socioassistenciais da rede de Proteção Social da FUNPAPA, enfatizando as estratégias que desenvolvem para realizar o seu trabalho de forma a colocarem-se no âmbito da “normalidade”. Pautado nas contribuições da psicodinâmica do trabalho e nos referenciais do campo da saúde do trabalhador, o enfoque teórico-metodológico desta pesquisa consiste em uma abordagem qualitativa, cuja coleta de dados envolveu entrevistas individuais semi-estruturadas e observação participante. A análise dos dados, realizada através da técnica de análise de conteúdo, apontou aspectos relacionados às condições de trabalho e à organização do trabalho atuando como desencadeantes de vivências de sofrimento psíquico, as quais se expressam em ansiedade, insatisfação, medo, tédio, repugnância, dentre outras manifestações. Os aspectos relacionados às más condições de trabalho que desencadeiam o sofrimento psíquico dos servidores da FUNPAPA são: espaço físico sem a adaptação necessária para o atendimento dos usuários, equipamentos obsoletos e/ou com funcionamento defeituoso, escala de veículos irregular e condições ambientais insalubres devido à infiltrações constantes. Como elementos constituintes da organização do trabalho que funcionam como determinantes do sofrimento psíquico vivenciado pelos servidores da FUNPAPA podemos citar: o atendimento aos usuários, a capacitação profissional inadequada ao trabalho que desenvolvem, a avaliação de desempenho, a ausência de reconhecimento social, o quantitativo reduzido de servidores, a rede socioassistencial deficitária e a impotência diante dos limites da política de assistência social para fazer frente às demandas sociais postas a esses servidores. Para lidar com as vivências de sofrimento psíquico de modo a evitar a doença e a loucura esses servidores adotam estratégias de defesa de proteção, incluindo: a racionalização, a religiosidade, os laços de confiança e solidariedade, o absenteísmo, a antecipação das férias, o investimento em atividades desenvolvidas fora da jornada de trabalho, o trabalho itinerante na comunidade e a busca de soluções alternativas para tornar o ambiente físico o mais acolhedor possível. Desta forma, a estrutura deste trabalho abrange três momentos: a referência empírica, o aporte teórico e a discussão dos resultados, respectivamente. Por último, à guisa de conclusão, são apontadas algumas notas para subsidiar uma proposta de promoção da saúde mental no trabalho.

Intervenção profissional em serviço social na área da assistência social: estudo da dimensão técnico-operativa na ação de assistentes sociais em CRAS na região metropolitana de Belém-(PA)

A dissertação ora apresentada, se propõe ao estudo crítico da intervenção profissional, no campo particular da política de Assistência Social, no interior da concepção da dimensão técnico-operativa, ao qual participaram 05 assistentes sociais que trabalham nos Centros de Referência da Assistência Social –CRAS, localizados geograficamente na Região Metropolitana de Belém-Pa, dimensão técnico-operativa essa, situada dentro da Política Nacional de Assistência Social –PNAS/2004, haja vista que, esse estudo foi viabilizado a partir da compreensão desses assistentes sociais sobre o uso dos instrumentos técnicos que mais apareceram na fala desses sujeitos, ou seja, durante suas intervenções profissionais no ano de 2013, com vista a identificar, possíveis dificuldades de compreensão teórica e a sua relação com a prática profissional, na perspectiva de compreender como se dá o uso dessa instrumentação técnica dentro da articulação orgânica entre a relação teórico-metodológica, ético-política e técnico-operativa. Tem como base de análise a teoria Dialética e o método adotado, foi a técnica de Analise de Discurso, com vista a qualificar mais a pesquisa, bem como, a consulta em bibliografias, artigos e revistas da área do Serviço Social; a pesquisa se deu por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, orientadas pelo instrumento denominado de roteiro de entrevista. Buscou-se evidencias a partir da compreensão desses sujeitos expressos através das falas analisadas, de como essa dimensão técnico-operativa, assim como os instrumentos utilizados, comparecem nas ações práticas dos assistentes sociais no momento das intervenções profissionais, bem como, saber o porquê da dificuldade de compreensão da relação teoria e prática nesses espaços sócio-ocupacionais. Como resultados preliminares, verificou-se que nas intervenções profissionais, os assistentes sociais vêm apresentando dificuldades de compreensão a cerca da teoria social crítica, impactando dessa forma, no uso da instrumentação técnica, ora tendendo para a concepção tecnicista, ora tendendo para a concepção teoricista, reproduzindo-se assim, a polêmica histórica no interior do Serviço Social.
