Serviço público de saúde: representações sociais dos profissionais

Este artigo foi redigido com parte dos resultados da pesquisa de dissertação de mestrado sobre o trabalho multiprofissional no Serviço Público de Saúde no município de Bandeirantes- Paraná. Foram entrevistados 44 profissionais de saúde de nível superior, com 4 questões abertas que abordaram aspectos de interesse para o tema. O presente estudo se propõe retratar uma das figuras metodológicas do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) que é a Ancoragem e analisar as representações sociais dos profissionais de saúde. A análise e a discussão as Ancoragens ressaltam a sua utilidade para o resgate das representações sociais. Quanto a seu conteúdo, estas representações revelam que os profissionais de saúde entrevistados consideram seu trabalho como um atendimento vocacionado. Destacam ainda que o serviço público é para pobre e que todo funcionário do setor público é sobrecarregado. Estes resultados, por refletirem a realidade da totalidade de profissionais de um município de pequeno porte, e por sua amostra ser composta de profissionais de saúde de nível superior, subsidiarão o gestor em futuras decisões sobre a conduta e abordagem dos profissionais de nível superior. E se profissionais puderem tomar suas próprias concepções como objeto de reflexão e distinguir os elementos que compõem seus " ideais" para consolidação do SUS, poderão compreender a função que cumprem na sociedade e trabalhar na construção de novos valores

Internationalization and institutionalization of information literacy and lifelong learning as essential factors to the development of the nations are also explored.

The challenges to be faced include: to discover forms to foster and to appropriately disseminate national and local knowledge, to advance discussions and deepen the subject, to discover adequate alternatives for disseminating information practices that encompass distinct professional groups and populations, to overcome structural development gaps. As a matter that permeates each and every process of learning, research, development, problem-solving and decision-making, information literacy went beyond the boundaries of librarianship and transformed itself into a world transdiciplinary movement, even under the aegis of different denominations and emphasis.

A an??lise dos resultados considerou a avalia????o que os servidores/alunos faziam do curso, suas expectativas, suas necessidades de reconhecimento do trabalho e de satisfa????o pessoal, e a monografia realizada. Os resultados indicam a ocorr??ncia de aprendizagem e sensibiliza????o para as mudan??as; no entanto, no n??vel individual fatores organizacionais como a participa????o, comunica????o, reconhecimento de compet??ncias e pr??ticas de Recursos Humanos foram mencionados como entraves para o aprendizado e modifica????o da cultura organizacional. Conclui-se que os processos de aprendizagem desenvolvidos pela organiza????o devem ser processos continuados e n??o estrat??gias de a????o pontuais.
