A influência da utilização de plantas medicinais nos custos do tratamento de agravos atendidos pela assistência farmacêutica básica

O uso de plantas medicinais para tratamento dos males da saúde está disseminado não só nas áreas rurais como também nas áreas urbanas do território brasileiro. O significado econômico destas plantas medicinais, usadas no atendimento das necessidades básicas de saúde, para as economias domésticas da parte socialmente vulnerável da população, ainda é pouco investigado. Muitas espécies vegetais são comercializadas na cidade de Belém por erveiros em mercados ou feiras livres da cidade. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar em que medida a inserção do uso de Plantas Medicinais minimiza os custos do tratamento de agravos atendidos pela Assistência Farmacêutica na Atenção Básica á saúde para o usuário do Sistema de Saúde. Para se atingir esse objetivo, foi realizado um estudo, de natureza exploratória, por meio de aplicação de questionários, utilizando o método de amostragem, definida por critério não probabilístico, no bairro do Jurunas com apoio na Unidade de Saúde Radional II, localizado na Região Metropolitana de Belém no Pará. Foi realizado um levantamento de informações referente ao foco deste estudo no Centro de Referência de Tratamento Natural (CRTN), localizado na cidade de Macapá, que já utiliza as plantas medicinais como recurso terapêutico. No resultado da pesquisa de campo no bairro do Jurunas foi verificado que aproximadamente 50% dos entrevistados praticam a automedicação com plantas medicinais, relacionadas na RDC nº 10/ANVISA, sendo necessária, entretanto, orientação correta para seu cultivo e emprego terapêutico. A comparação entre os gastos com medicamentos sintéticos no tratamento dos sintomas de cinco doenças que ocorrem com frequência no bairro do Jurunas e aqueles resultantes do uso de plantas medicinais, para os mesmos sintomas, revela uma redução no gasto para tratamentos feitos à base de plantas medicinais. Em conclusão, pode-se inferir que esta redução representa uma economia de recursos que o usuário e o sistema deixam de despender quando utilizam plantas medicinais.

Mary E. Frayser Papers - Accession 1

The Mary E. Frayser Papers consists of correspondence, speeches, reports, clippings, minutes, histories, family histories, constitutions and bylaws, membership lists, program notes, photographs, and other papers, relating to her work with the South Carolina Extension Service (1912-1940) Winthrop College, her involvement with the South Carolina Council for the Common Good (1935-1952), the South Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs (1926-1952), the South Carolina Status of Women Conference (1945-1952), the South Carolina Division of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) (1929, 1935-1949), the South Carolina Interracial Institute (1938-1942), the South Carolina Division of the Southern Regional Council (1944-1951), and the South Carolina Conference of Social Work (1936-1967). There are also papers relating to Frayser’s efforts to promote social and economic legislation and participation by women in public affairs and her interest in libraries and work in the movement for the support of public libraries in South Carolina (1925-1968). Correspondents included G.H. Aault, Evan Chesterman, Wil Lou Gray, Sarah Hughes, Christine South Gee, and Maude Massey Rogers. This collection is a good source of women’s club activities in the twentieth century. Important areas of research would include the way club activity affected social and economic legislation in the state and the various forces involved in the movement for state tax supported libraries. While the papers do range from 1841 to 1953, the greater bulk of the papers extend from the early 1930s to about 1947. Since the work of the various women's club organizations were so inter-related, a researcher working with the papers of a particular organization for a particular time span should consider the Frayser papers of all other organizations. The related papers for the “Correspondence and Related Papers” series for particular organizations are generally similar and include: memoranda, outlines, reports, resolutions, minutes, etc. Additional Frayser information can be found by referring to the Winthrop University Archives (official records).

Juanita H. Neely Papers - Accession 6

The Juanita H. Neely Papers consist of correspondence, autobiographical and biographical data, speeches, radio talks, clippings, photographs, and articles mainly relating to her work with the South Carolina Home Demonstration Extension Service. There is also family history material relating to the Neely family. This collection is a good source of information concerning the South Carolina Home Economics Extension program in the first half of the twentieth century. While the papers range from 1911 to about 1970, the more valuable and greater part of the collection extends from the mid-1920s to 1957, when Juanita Neely rose from a county home economics extension agent to the State Demonstration Agent. The collection contains many of her speeches, radio talks and articles made during this period; the reference material that she used for her speeches; letters of appreciation from agents and others upon her retirement; and materials relating to the Winthrop-Clemson controversy in 1955 concerning the location of the Home Economics Extension Program. There is also biographical material, award notices, and some correspondence dating after Juanita Neely's retirement from the Home Economics Extension Program. Additional Neely information may be found by referring to the Winthrop Archives, record group 412, and the 1958-1959 edition of Who’s Who of American Women.
