Como o discurso de responsabilidade social corporativa e sustentabilidade da Voice Telecom é percebido pelos seus empregados lotados na Região Metropolitana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro

Este estudo, que se vale ontologicamente da pós-modernidade crítica, tem por objetivo apreender como o discurso de Responsabilidade Social Corporativa e Sustentabilidade de uma corporação brasileira é percebido pelos seus empregados lotados na região metropolitana do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Esta apreensão se deu através do confronto entre as afirmações contidas no discurso da organização e as percepções dos empregados para cada uma destas afirmações. Foram realizadas 26 entrevistas individuais em cinco prédios distintos da corporação pesquisada, tendo sido entrevistados cinco gerentes, nove analistas, sete especialistas e cinco assistentes, nos meses de abril, maio e junho de 2012. As anotações de campo e as entrevistas foram transcritas e submetidas à análise do discurso e análise conversacional. Este estudo revelou que há grandes contradições entre o dito e o praticado pela organização, sendo o discurso de Responsabilidade Social e Corporativo em grande parte identificado como uma ferramenta instrumental de propaganda institucional.

Avaliação: um instrumento para o planejamento: análise de um programa municipal para prestação de assistência odontológica à população pré-escolar: a experiência de São Bernardo do Campo

Uma apreciação de um programa de prestação de serviços odontológicos para crianças de 4 a 6 anos, desenvolvido pela Seção de Odontologia da Secretaria de Saúde e Promoção Social da Prefeitura do Município de são Bernardo do Campo, a partir de agosto de 1979. Ele se propunha a priorizar o atendimento da faixa etária acima mencionada, para integrar os recursos odontológicos municipais com os do Serviço Dentário Escolar do Estado e, com isto, obter uso mais racional dos recursos disponíveis, de forma a propiciar cobertura mais ampla do atendimento de saúde bucal á população infantil, do Município. Procura-se aqui fazer a análise dos aspectos administrativos do Programa, desde sua formulação até as etapas de implementação; estuda-se os resultados obtidos em uma amostra da população alvo do Programa depois de um ano e meio de vigência do mesmo. Para tanto são utilizadas, como referencial teórico, a evolução da organização dos serviços odontológicos, a teoria dos sistemas e as técnicas de planejamento e avaliação. Neste trabalho procuramos analisar e avaliar as fases de planejamento e implementação do Programa, buscando principalmente os aspectos administrativos envolvidos no problema.

Avaliação do impacto odontológico no desempenho diário dos trabalhadores do Departamento Municipal de Limpeza Urbana de Porto Alegre

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi avaliar o impacto das condições bucais no desempenho diário em uma amostra representativa de 276 funcionários públicos com idades entre 35 e 44 anos do Departamento Municipal de Limpeza Urbana da Prefeitura de Porto Alegre, sul do Brasil. As informações sobre os impactos odontológicos e características socioeconômicas foram coletadas por meio de entrevistas estruturadas. O índice Oral Impact on Daily Performances (OIDP), desenvolvido por Adulyanon, Vourapukjaru e Sheiham (1996) foi utilizado para medir os impactos odontológicos. O índice CPOD (Número de Dentes Cariados, Perdidos e Obturados) foi utilizado para avaliar as condições de saúde bucal. Três diferentes níveis de condição bucais foram utilizados: CPOD Alto, CPOD Médio e CPOD Baixo. As informações foram analisadas através da regressão logística multinomial. Os resultados mostraram que, do total da amostra, 73,6% tiveram pelo menos um desempenho diário afetado por problemas odontológicos nos últimos seis meses. O desempenho diário mais afetado foi comer e apreciar a comida (48,6%). A falta de dentes (21,7%) e a dor de dente (20,7%) foram as principais causas percebidas de impacto no desempenho diário. Pessoas com CPOD Alto apresentaram 5,8 vezes (95% IC=2,1-16,1) mais chances de apresentar impacto odontológico alto no desempenho diário do que as pessoas com CPOD Baixo e sem impacto odontológico. Sujeitos com cáries de coroa apresentaram 4,3 vezes (95% IC=1,9-9,8) mais chances de apresentar impacto odontológico alto no desempenho diário do que pessoas sem cárie e sem impacto odontológico. Além disso, pessoas com oito ou mais dentes faltantes apresentaram 2,4 vezes (95% IC=1,1-5,3) mais chances de apresentar impactos odontológicos no desempenho diário do que pessoas com até sete dentes faltantes e sem impactos odontológicos Além disso, pessoas com oito ou mais dentes faltantes apresentaram 2,4 vezes (95% IC=1,1-5,3) mais chances de apresentar impactos odontológicos no desempenho diário do que pessoas com até sete dentes faltantes e sem impactos odontológicos. O índice OIDP combinado com a avaliação clínica é útil para analisar como os diferentes níveis de saúde bucal afetam as dimensões físicas, psicológicas e sociais do desempenho diário.

Avaliação de uma proposta de um programa educativo em saúde bucal para agentes comunitários de saúde

O objetivo deste trabalho foi de criar e avaliar um programa de capacitação em Odontologia para Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS). O programa educativo foi teórico-prático e seguiu uma filosofia reflexiva e crítica. Os participantes desta pesquisa foram três grupos de ACS. Dois de Porto Alegre, RS: o Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) São Gabriel e o PSF Cruzeiro do Sul, com quatro agentes em cada, e quinze agentes do Programa de Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (PACS) ou do PSF de Venâncio Aires, RS. As avaliações foram quantitativas e qualitativas, respectivamente, através de testes de conhecimentos e exames das condições de higiene e através da realização de grupos focais. Os dados quantitativos foram coletados no início e no final do curso para serem comparados e os dados qualitativos foram categorizados e assim discutidos. Os resultados estão apresentados em forma de três artigos: um de natureza quantitativa com avaliação da capacitação através de mudanças nos hábitos de higiene e na quantificação das respostas corretas aos testes de conhecimentos; os outros dois artigos são avaliações qualitativas do curso, através das percepções dos ACS’s sobre a incorporação de atividades de prevenção em saúde bucal ao seu cotidiano e acesso aos serviços odontológicos.

Neste percurso foi possível observar a correlação entre a escolha da unidade escolar para atuação e o Índice de Desenvolvimento da Educação Básica.

Nutrição enteral como fator de risco para diarréia em adultos hospitalizados

Diarréia, especialmente em ambiente hospitalar, gera mudanças no manejo do paciente, contribuindo para aumento no tempo e custos com a hospitalização. Na prática clínica, o uso de nutrição enteral é amplamente apontado como fator de risco para diarréia, demandando freqüentes alterações na terapia nutricional. Neste sentido, o objetivo desta dissertação é determinar o efeito independente do uso de nutrição enteral no risco para diarréia em adultos hospitalizados, controlando para outras variáveis clínicas relacionadas com o desfecho. Para tanto, primeiramente foi realizada revisão da literatura, a fim de identificar diferentes fatores associados à ocorrência de diarréia hospitalar. Foram utilizados como termos de busca diarrhea, diarrhoea, bowel movements, hospital, enteral nutrition, tube feeding, drug e pharmaceutical preparations, através do Pubmed, Cochrane Library e Scielo. Foram também avaliadas referências citadas em publicações selecionadas. Contatos com autores foram empregados quando textos completos não estavam disponíveis para consulta. A incidência de diarréia observada na literatura, dentre adultos hospitalizados, foi de 5% a 70%, variando de acordo com os critérios adotados para sua definição e do perfil clínico do grupo de pacientes estudados. Poucos estudos foram delineados para identificar variáveis associadas à diarréia. Uso de antibióticos, antiácidos, quimioterápicos, gravidade clínica do paciente, número de dias de hospitalização e uso de nutrição enteral foram fatores descritos como de risco para diarréia. O efeito isolado de cada um destes fatores, no entanto, não é suficientemente claro. Por esta razão, entre junho de 2004 e maio de 2005, foi conduzido um estudo de dupla coorte, de acordo com a exposição e não-exposição dos pacientes à nutrição enteral. Foram acompanhados adultos internados em unidades clínicas e cirúrgicas do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, um hospital geral universitário de alta complexidade. A fim de minimizar a variabilidade associada ao manejo dos pacientes pelas equipes assistentes e estabelecer perfil clínico comparável, o grupo não-exposto à nutrição enteral foi constituído de acordo com a unidade de internação, equipe assistente/especialidade e exposição a antimicrobianos do grupo em uso de nutrição enteral. Para identificação dos fatores de risco independentemente associados à diarréia, foi realizada regressão múltipla de Cox. A incidência de diarréia identificada neste estudo foi de 18% entre expostos à nutrição enteral e de 6% nos não-expostos (p<0,01). Foi verificado que pacientes em uso de nutrição enteral apresentam 2,7 (IC95%:1,6-4,7) vezes o risco de desenvolver diarréia do que aqueles nãoexpostos à nutrição enteral, se hospitalizados durante o verão o risco é 2,4 (IC95%:1,5-3,9) vezes em comparação a outros períodos do ano e, a cada acréscimo de 1 ano na idade, o risco aumenta em 1,6% (IC95%: 0 - 3,3). Dentre os pacientes em uso de nutrição enteral, aqueles para quem foram mais freqüentemente observadas (em mais de 75% dos dias avaliados) adesão às rotinas de higienização e troca de equipos de administração da dieta (verificadas em uma visita realizada em dias intercalados, observando a identificação da data no equipo e pela informação de entrega para a lavagem pelas atendentes de nutrição) apresentaram menor incidência de diarréia (6,5% vs. 20,3% e 5,9% vs. 19,8%, respectivamente). Assim, é elevada a incidência de diarréia em ambiente hospitalar, sendo a exposição à nutrição enteral fator de risco independente para este desfecho, além da idade avançada e hospitalização durante o verão.

Autoeficácia, características sociodemográficas e capacitação profissional: um estudo com servidores de uma Universidade Federal

Self-efficacy, the construct developed by Albert Bandura in 1977 and widely studied around the world, means the individual's belief in his own capacity to successfully perform a certain activity. This study aims to determine the degree of association between sociodemographic characteristics and professional training to the levels of Self-Efficacy at Work (SEW) of the Administrative Assistants in a federal university. This is a descriptive research submitted to and approved by the Ethics Committee of UFRN. The method of data analysis, in quantitative nature, was accomplished with the aid of the statistical programs R and Minitab. The instrument used in research was a sociodemographic data questionnaire, variables of professional training and the General Perception of Self-efficacy Scale (GPSES), applied to the sample by 289 Assistants in Administration. Statistical techniques for data analysis were descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, reliability test (Cronbach's alpha), and test of significance (Pearson). Results show a sociodemographic profile of Assistants in Administration of UFRN with well-distributed characteristics, with 48.4% men and 51.6% female; 59.9% of them were aged over 40 years, married (49.3%), color or race white (58%) and Catholics (67.8%); families are composed of up to four people (75.8%) with children (59.4%) of all age groups; the occupation of the mothers of these professionals is mostly housewives (51.6%) with high school education up to parents (72%) and mothers (75.8%). Assistants in Administration have high levels of professional training, most of them composed two groups of servers: the former, recently hired public servants (30.7%) and another with long service (59%), the majority enter young in career and it stays until retirement, 72.4% of these professionals have training above the minimum requirement for the job. The analysis of SEW levels shows medium to high levels for 72% of assistants in administration; low SEWclassified people have shown a high average of 2.7, considered close to the overall mean presented in other studies, which is 2.9. The cluster analysis has allowed us to say that the characteristics of the three groups (Low, Medium and High SEW) are similar and can be found in the three levels of SEW representatives with all the characteristics investigated. The results indicate no association between the sociodemographic variables and professional training to the levels of self-efficacy at work of Assistants in Administration of UFRN, except for the variable color or race. However, due to the small number of people who declared themselves in color or black race (4% of the sample), this result can be interpreted as mere coincidence or the black people addressed in this study have provided a sense of efficacy higher than white and brown ones. The study has corroborated other studies and highlighted the subjectivity of the self-efficacy construct. They are needed more researches, especially with public servants for the continuity and expansion of studies on the subject, making it possible to compare and confirm the results

Análise mecânica e microestrutural das ligas de cobalto-cromo de uso odontológico após sucessivas refundições

The cobalt-chromium alloy is extensively used in the Odontology for the confection of metallic scaffolding in partial removable denture. During the last few years, it has been reported an increasing number of premature imperfections, with a few months of prosthesis use. The manufacture of these components is made in prosthetic laboratories and normally involves recasting, using parts of casting alloy and parts of virgin alloy. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to analyze the mechanical properties of a commercial cobalt-chromium alloy of odontological use after successive recasting, searching information to guide the dental prosthesis laboratories in the correct manipulation of the cobalt-chromium alloy in the process of casting and the possible limits of recasting in the mechanical properties of this material. Seven sample groups were confectioned, each one containing five test bodies, divided in the following way: G1: casting only with virgin alloy; G2: casting with 50% of the alloy of the G1 + 50% of virgin alloy; G3: casting with 50% of the alloy of the G2 + 50% of virgin alloy; G4: casting with 50% of the alloy of the G3 + 50% of virgin alloy; G5: 50% of alloy of the G4 + 50% of virgin alloy; G6: 50% of alloy of the G5 + 50% of virgin alloy and finally the G7, only with recasting alloy. The modifications in the mechanical behavior of the alloy were evaluated. Moreover, it was carried the micro structural characterization of the material by optic and electronic scanning microscopy, and X ray diffraction.and fluorescence looking into the correlatation of the mechanical alterations with structural modifications of the material caused by successive recasting process. Generally the results showed alterations in the fracture energy of the alloy after successive recasting, resulting mainly of the increasing presence of pores and large voids, characteristic of the casting material. Thus, the interpretation of the results showed that the material did not reveal significant differences with respect to the tensile strength or elastic limit, as a function of successive recasting. The elastic modulus increased from the third recasting cycle on, indicating that the material can be recast only twice. The fracture energy of the material decreased, as the number of recasting cycles increased. With respect to the microhardness, the statistical analyses showedno significant differences. Electronic scanning microscopy revealed the presence of imperfections and defects, resulting of the recasting process. X ray diffraction and fluorescence did not show alterations in the composition of the alloy or the formation of crystalline phases between the analyzed groups. The optical micrographs showed an increasing number of voids and porosity as the material was recast. Therefore, the general conclusion of this study is that the successive recasting of of Co-Cr alloys affects the mechanical properties of the material, consequently leading to the failure of the prosthetic work. Based on the results, the best recommendadition is that the use of the material should be limited to two recasting cycles

Aditivação de pastas geopoliméricas com tetraborato de sódio e látex não iônico para cimentação de Poços de Petróleo

The development of activities in the oil and gas sector has been promoting the search for materials more adequate to oilwell cementing operation. In the state of Rio Grande do Norte, the cement sheath integrity tend to fail during steam injection operation which is necessary to increase oil recovery in reservoir with heavy oil. Geopolymer is a material that can be used as alternative cement. It has been used in manufacturing of fireproof compounds, construction of structures and for controlling of toxic or radioactive waste. Latex is widely used in Portland cement slurries and its characteristic is the increase of compressive strength of cement slurries. Sodium Tetraborate is used in dental cement as a retarder. The addition of this additive aim to improve the geopolymeric slurries properties for oilwell cementing operation. The slurries studied are constituted of metakaolinite, potassium silicate, potassium hydroxide, non-ionic latex and sodium tetraborate. The properties evaluated were: viscosity, compressive strength, thickening time, density, fluid loss control, at ambient temperature (27 ºC) and at cement specification temperature. The tests were carried out in accordance to the practical recommendations of the norm API RP 10B. The slurries with sodium tetraborate did not change either their rheological properties or their mechanical properties or their density in relation the slurry with no additive. The increase of the concentration of sodium tetraborate increased the water loss at both temperatures studied. The best result obtained with the addition of sodium tetraborate was thickening time, which was tripled. The addition of latex in the slurries studied diminished their rheological properties and their density, however, at ambient temperature, it increased their compressive strength and it functioned as an accelerator. The increase of latex concentration increased the presence of water and then diminished the density of the slurries and increased the water loss. From the results obtained, it was concluded that sodium tetraborate and non-ionic latex are promising additives for geopolymer slurries to be used in oilwell cementing operation

A saúde psíquica de quem faz saúde: uma análise crítica sobre a humanização direcionada ao profissional de saúde

It is noticeable that pressure, tension and overwork are frequent in health professionals routine. The work related to the ward area demands deep attention and surveillance. Because of that, it is essential to have a specific look at the humanization directed at health professionals, considering that taking care of other human beings is the essence of their job. This study has analyzed the psychic health levels, as well as the stress health professionals are submitted to, providing a debate about the humanization in 06 public hospitals (03 of them awarded by actions of humanization, and 03 not awarded) in Rio Grande do Norte state, Brazil. A study with 126 active health professionals (doctors, nurses, psychologists, nutritionists and social workers) in ward areas in their respective institutions was carried out. The thesis presented, with multi-disciplinary characteristic, counted on the support of statisticians (to calculate samples and data analysis), psychologists, social workers and administrators (linked to the human resources sector in each hospital). A cross-sectional study was performed, taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors. The tools used for that were a semistructured questionnaire with socio-demographic characteristics, work and humanization; Lipp's Stress Symptoms Inventory for Adults (ISSL), and the Goldberg s General Health Questionnaire (QSG). The workers are predominantly women (84,9%), married (54,8%), between 46 and 55 years old (40,5%), working in the same institution for more than 20 years (22,2%), and between 16 and 20 years (20,6%), respectively. They work 40 hours a week (71,4%) and have multiple jobs (61,9%). Although most of these individuals global psychic health is in a good level, there are a significant number of people that is gradually getting worse concerning psychic stress (F1) showed by QSG (54,7%), and stress showed by ISSL(42,1%). Observing the categories, nurses (41,5%). Nutritionists (20,8%), doctors and social workers (18,9%), were among the most affected. About general health (F6), 63% of the awarded hospitals and 70% of the not awarded ones, presented good health levels (ranging from 5 to 50%). It was also noticed that, in the groups mentioned above, 25 and 20% respectively, were inserted in scores between 55 to 90%, what means that they are in worsening phase. The fact that the hospital is awarded or well recognized doesn t interfere in health professionals stress level and in their psychic health. Through what was heard from these individuals, it was possible to verify that they know little about humanization, once few of them identify or know that the service they offer is in an adoption process by Ministerial Policies. It was also detected the necessity of developing actions aimed at worker s health. Such results showed the importance of have more investments in programs that are directed to workers well-being, because they deal with other people s health and it is known that it is difficult for them to offer high-quality assistance if there are not suitable physical, psychological and material conditions to help them develop their jobs. As a warning, it is fair to say that investments in actions that provide humanized care to health professionals, mainly concerning preventive care for their health and life quality in their work

Desmame em recém-nascidos de muito baixo peso ao nascer no primeiro retorno ambulatorial após a alta hospitalar

Investigate intrahospital and neonatal determinants associated to the weaning of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods: 119 VLBW (<1500g) infants 81 were monitored from July 2005 through August 2006, from birth to the first ambulatory visit after maternity discharge. This maternity unit uses the Kangaroo Method and the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. Results: Out of 119 VLBW infants monitored until discharge, 88 (75%) returned to the facility, 22 (25%) were on exclusive breastfeeding (EB) and 66 (75%) were weaned (partial breastfeeding or formula feeding). Univariate analysis found an association between weaning and lower birth weight, longer stays in the NICU and longer hospitalization times, in addition to more prolonged enteral feeding and birth weight recovery period. Logistic regression showed length of NICU stay as being the main determinant of weaning. Conclusion: The negative repercussion on EB of an extended stay in the NICU is a significant challenge for health professionals to provide more adequate nutrition to VLBW infants

Formação em odontologia: um estudo sobre as clínicas integradas em cursos do Brasil

Dental education is going through important changes in preparing workers to meet the needs of the society and the labor market. For that reason, we studied the offering of comprehensive dental care clinics in Brazil with the aim of encouraging future curriculum changes focused on the training of general dental practitioners. An email questionnaire on educational organization and comprehensive care clinics of undergraduate programs was sent to each academic dental affairs dean. Sixty-seven (41.6%) dental schools agreed to participate. We observed that curriculum changes have contributed to modify the format of comprehensive care clinics. This was felt mainly (88,1%) with regards to workload and course offerings in different levels of the dental curriculum, thereby creating a favorable environment for generalist training. Most schools shared the following characteristics: clinical procedures were being prioritized according to level of complexity (95,5%), students were having the chance to attend courses in other programs (37,3%), and attempt to diversify teaching methods was being challenged (58,2%). Although progress in combining teaching and clinical services was reported by 83,6% of schools, most clinical procedures were still being performed intramurally (50,7%) in partnership with public service. There was also improvement in clinical mentorship due to the hiring of instructors qualified to work in comprehensive care clinics and with aptitude to supervise a wider range of dental procedures (58,2%). Further changes to Brazilian comprehensive care clinics should hence be encouraged and intensified to ensure appropriate generalist training for dental practitioners

Estudo psicossocial das perdas dentárias na terceira idade

The present study seeks to understand tooth loss by investigating the social representations in the daily life of elderly individuals, thus characterizing itself as a comparative and analytic research. It is known that tooth loss is a common occurrence in elderly individuals, interfering at the psychosocial and biological levels, through its functional, esthetical and social implications. The area of oral health in Brazil is lacking studies on this topic, especially with respect to the psychosocial aspects of the elderly. The Theory of Social Representations and the Central Nucleus Theory were selected for theoretical-methodological support. The Free Association of Words Test was used, whose inducing stimulus were the words tooth loss , in which each subject was asked to associate 3 words, to respond to a questionnaire related to socio-economic conditions and containing an investigation of tooth loss, access to odontological services and the need for dental treatment, and to undergo a focus group interview. The study sample consisted of 120 individuals 60 years of age or over, resident in Natal, RN, Brazil and participants of the Live Together to Live Better group of the Basic Health Unit of Felipe Camarão Residential District and Unati (Open University of the Elderly); an interview was performed with 36 subjects. Data analysis was performed by Evoc 2000, SPSS/99, Graph Pad and Alceste softwares. The results demonstrate that the central nucleus of the social representations of tooth loss for the Live Together group emerged from the difficulty in eating categories, showing a relation between physiologic necessity, desire and pleasure from eating, not to mention the pain that resulted from justifying the tooth loss. Besides the central discourses, the following peripheral elements were gathered: difficulty in adapting to the prosthesis, treatment and difficulty in speaking. All of these categories, except the last, also comprised the class themes of the group interview. For the Unati group the central nucleus emerged from the socio-economic difficulties categories, demonstrating a narrow relation between poverty, access to health and education and esthetics, confirming in the discourse of common sense, the association between tooth loss and aging. At the margin of the central discourses was collected the peripheral element difficulty in adapting to the prosthesis, found both in the Live Together and Unati groups, which expresses the resistance of the subject to this new situation and the failure of the rehabilitation treatment in the sense of reviving the memory of their natural teeth. All of these categories also constitute the class themes of the of the group interview. Thus, through the study of the social representations, we can reveal a reality in the perspective of the social subjects, contemplating the multiple facets of the social-cultural reality experienced by these individuals

Implementação da política de assistência social em Mossoró/RN : uma avaliação a partir dos centros de referência da assistência social

The current National Policy for Social Assistance (PNAS) is the instrument that regulates the organization and procedures of social-welfare actions. Developed and approved in 2004 since the Unified Social Assistance System (ITS) was crated in 2003, it reaffirms the democratic principles of the Social Assistance Organic Law (LOAS) focusing on the universalization of social rights and equality of rights when accessing the social-welfare system. In the SUAS point of view, the PNAS highlights the information, monitoring and evaluation fields for being the best way to assure the regulation, organization and control by the Federal Government paying attention to the principles of decentralization and participation. This political-institutional rearrangement occurs through the pact among all the three federal entities. The pact deals with the implementation of the task. It says that it has to be shared between the federal autonomous entities, established by dividing responsibilities. To the cities, considered as the smallest territorial unit of the federation and closer to the population, was given the primary responsibility, which is to feed and maintain the database of SUAS NETWORK and identify families living in situations of social vulnerability. In addition to these responsibilities, the cities that have full autonomy in the management of their actions, have the responsibility to organize the basic social protection and the special social protection, that using the Center of Social Assistance Reference (CRAS) and the Center of Specialized Social Assistance Reference (CREAS), are responsible for the provision of programs, projects and services that strengthen the family and community; that promote people who are able to enjoy the benefits of the Continuing benefit of Provisions (BPC) and transfer of incomes; that hold the infringed rights on its territory; that maximize the protective role of families and strengthen its users organization. In Mossoró/RN, city classified as autonomous in the social assistance management, has five units of CRAS that, for being public utilities, are considered the main units of basic social protection, since they are responsible for the connection between the other institutions that compose the network of local social protection. Also known as Family House, the CRAS, among other programs and services, offers the Integral Attention to Families Program (PAIF), Juvenile ProJovem Program, socio-educational coexistence services programs, as well as sending people to other public policies and social-welfare services network, provides information, among others. In this large field, social workers are highlighted as keys to implement the policy of social assistance within the city, followed by psychologists and educators. They should be effective public employees, as a solution to ensure that the provision of the services are to be continued, provided to the population living around the units. However, what we can find here is inattention to the standard rules of social assistance, which not only undermines the quality of programs and services, but also the consolidation of policy on welfare as public policy of social rights
