Health Care Waste (HCW) represents 1%, and it has presently gained a lot of importance. Adequate management is one of the great challenges to be faced by health care centers. It has gained distinction and been widely discussed by members of the sectors involved with sanitation, public health and environmental issues due to waste physical, chemical biological characteristics, which pose potential risk to the environment and public health. The present study aims at evaluating HCW internal management by following all its phases, determining indicators, classifying and quantifying, establishing production rates (kg /patient/day) for the sector and designing materials to disseminate appropriate HCW disposal in the Emergency Room of the UNESP University Hospital in the city of Botucatu according to the guidelines presently in force. : From June to October 2011, the waste flow was observed from its production to final disposal. Four weight measurements were performed on four consecutive days in the month of August by using a properly calibrated (in grams) digital scale at the times scheduled for collection of the produced waste. Hence, the daily and monthly amounts were estimated according to their classification. All the waste packaged in the bags in garbage cans in the Emergency Room for a 24-hour period was considered to be a sample. Separation was not adequately performed in that sector, and waste from Group A was mixed with that from Group D. The amount of infectious waste produced in the sector corresponded to 87.80 %, common waste to 10.93 % and recyclable waste to 1.27%. The mean daily HCW production was of 123.300 kg/day, and the total monthly production was of 3,822 kg/month, which was distributed as follows: Group A 3,355,750 kg/month; Group D 417,570 kg/month and recyclables 48,670 kg/month. The production rate corresponded to 0.47 kg/patient/day, thus showing... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Organização dos serviços de saúde e a gestão do cuidado à tuberculose

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a discursividade de gestores sobre a relação entre a organização dos serviços de saúde e a gestão do cuidado à tuberculose (TB) em um município da região metropolitana de João Pessoa/PB. Conduzido pela pesquisa qualitativa no campo analítico da Análise de Discurso de linha francesa, participaram 16 trabalhadores de saúde que atuavam como integrantes de equipes gestoras. Os depoimentos transcritos foram organizados com uso do software Atlas.ti versão 6.0. Após leitura minuciosa do material empírico procurou-se observar nos discursos os processos parafrásicos, polissêmicos e metafóricos, os quais possibilitaram a identificação da seguinte formação discursiva: organização dos serviços de saúde e a relação com a gestão do cuidado à TB; o plano e a prática. Nos discursos dos gestores evidencia-se a fragmentação das ações de controle da tuberculose, a falta de articulação entre os serviços e os setores, o cumprimento de atividades específicas à TB, bem como a falta de planejamento estratégico para gestão do cuidado da doença. Nesse sentido, para que a organização dos serviços de saúde seja efetiva, se faz necessário que a tuberculose seja prioridade na agenda da gestão e reconhecida como um problema social.

Contributos psicológicos para a compreensão da utilização inapropiada dos serviços de saúde: Estudo exploratório num serviço de urgência

O sobrelotamento dos Serviços de Urgência Pediátrica é uma realidade da sociedade atual, verificando-se uma crescente progressão de atendimentos, principalmente de falsas urgências. Tendo como objetivo identificar fatores psicológicos que possam contribuir para a compreensão da utilização inapropriada destes serviços, foi desenvolvido este estudo exploratório-descritivo. A amostra foi constituída por 115 crianças, observadas sem critérios de urgência num Serviço de Urgência Pediátrica, e respetivos acompanhantes, dos quais 26.1% são emocionalmente perturbados. Os dados, recolhidos através da ficha de urgência, da entrevista e de um questionário, revelaram que a recorrência frequente ao Serviço de Urgência está relacionada com as crenças dos acompanhantes acerca do serviço, com a perceção de criança mais frágil, mais difícil e com mais problemas de comportamento. Conhecidos os efeitos da hospitalização infantil, pretende-se que este estudo abra portas à exploração de novos horizontes, na tentativa de encontrar soluções para a racionalização da utilização dos recursos de saúde.

Gestão do cuidado e dos serviços de saúde

Este objeto começa mostrando que a descentralização necessita quebrar os moldes conhecidos e estabelecer novas práticas, promovendo a articulação dos envolvidos, através de um modelo de Gestão Participativa da Saúde. Mostra os desafios de envolver todos os atores no contexto da saúde, interdisciplinarmente, a fim de que os profissionais consigam essa integração, gerando projetos terapêuticos que respondam aos princípios de vinculação, corresponsabilização, equidade e integralidade. A gestão participativa e integrada necessita de foco na realidade local e iniciativas de novos arranjos institucionais, como a ampliação da autonomia e poder local, a fim de que se alcance das metas estabelecidas. Para isso, os diferentes níveis de assistência devem ser executados por equipe multidisciplinar e de forma integrada. Unidade 2 do módulo 4 que compõe o Curso de Especialização em Saúde da Família.
