Bioeticistas brasileiros e os princípios da universalidade e da integralidade no SUS

OBJETIVO: Compreender os sentidos que bioeticistas brasileiros atribuem aos princípios da universalidade e da integralidade no sistema público de saúde brasileiro. PROCEDIMENTOS METODOLÓGICOS: Estudo exploratório qualitativo, realizado com 20 professores universitários de bioética atuantes no campo das ciências da saúde, com funções de diretores e ex-diretores da Sociedade Brasileira de Bioética e de diretorias regionais, no período de julho de 2007 a julho de 2008. Foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, com perguntas abertas, sendo realizada análise de conteúdo. ANÁLISE DE RESULTADOS: Quanto ao princípio da universalidade de acesso dos cidadãos brasileiros a um sistema público, as manifestações dos entrevistados se posicionaram majoritariamente em prol de sua manutenção. Todavia, quanto ao princípio da integralidade, as divergências foram manifestas, ensejando a maioria em restringi-lo. CONCLUSÕES: Os bioeticistas relatam pluralismo de valores morais e dificuldades em decidir moralmente sobre o que seria um sistema de saúde justo

Moralidade e plágio : um estudo com alunos do ensino médio

Nosso objetivo foi compreender o juízo da representação da ação de plágio de estudantes do segundo e terceiro anos do ensino médio, provenientes de escolas públicas e particulares de Vitória, Espírito Santo. Participaram 40 discentes entre 16 a 18 anos, que frequentavam três escolas públicas e duas privadas da cidade de Vitória-ES, divididos igualmente quanto a sexo e tipo de instituição. Nosso instrumento de pesquisa foi a um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado, contendo uma história-fictícia que envolveu o comportamento de plágio. As entrevistas foram realizadas individualmente, em consonância com o método clínico piagetiano e, como procedimento de análise dos protocolos, utilizamos a sistematização de categorias proposta por Delval. Avaliamos os juízos dos adolescentes com relação a representação da ação de plágio do personagem da história-fictícia contada, nos seguintes aspectos: se consideravam a ação certa ou errada, se o plagiário deve ou não ser punido e qual (is) a (s) penalidade (s) sugerida (s). Foram solicitadas as justificativas de todos os aspectos anteriormente mencionados. A partir dos dados encontrados, constatamos que a maior parte dos estudantes: 1) considerou que o plágio é uma atitude errada; 2) justificou ser errado, principalmente pela “negligência do aluno no cumprimento do trabalho”, pela “possibilidade de consequência negativa” e pela “ação ser incorreta”; 3) afirmou que o personagem “deve ser punido”; 4) analisou, como castigo para este ato, “fazer um novo trabalho”, uma “conversa” e “receber nota zero no trabalho” plagiado e, por fim, 5) justificou as sanções sugeridas em virtude da “oportunidade de aprendizado e/ou reflexão do aluno com a punição” da “adequabilidade da punição” e da “possibilidade de consequência negativa para o aluno”. Por outro lado, as razões dos poucos escolares que consideravam que o personagem da história “não deve ser penalizado” foram a favor da “ausência de especificação e/ou proibição pelo docente” e por causa do plágio ser um “fato rotineiro”. De maneira geral, os dados de nossa pesquisa mostram que os participantes sabem que é errado plagiar, reconhecem que não se deve fazer este ato e a maioria dos estudantes penalizou a conduta investigada. Esse trabalho pode contribuir para a ampliação dos estudos na área da moralidade e colaborar com subsídios teóricos para a elaboração de projetos de educação em valores morais que contemplem, de uma forma geral, o enfrentamento da desonestidade acadêmica e, especificamente, o plágio. Consideramos que a inserção desse conteúdo nas propostas de educação em valores morais contemporâneas poderá enriquecer a formação moral dos estudantes. Assim, esperamos, a partir dos resultados encontrados na presente pesquisa, subsidiar e promover a realização de outros estudos e propiciar discussões e ações sobre o referido tema, principalmente na Psicologia e na Educação.

Liberdade, Igualdade e Fraternidade: Ontem e Hoje

A trilogia Liberdade, Igualdade, Fraternidade, concebida em pleno século das luzes, sob inspiração do ideal do liberalismo, que iluminou a Revolução Francesa (1789), assinalou, a um tempo, um objecto de combate político e um projecto de mudança nas estruturas sociais vigentes durante o Estado absoluto, que imperou no Ancien Régime. Liberdade, Igualdade, Fraternidade: trilogia da nova fisionomia, nascida nos finais do século XVIII. E hoje? Que sentido, que limites a esta trilogia? Somos livres, iguais, fraternos? Onde a liberdade, neste mundo que sacraliza cada vez mais o dinheiro e a propriedade, onde um cartão de crédito anuncia, na sua publicidade, que ter é poder? Onde a igualdade, neste universo de iguais (cada vez mais) diferenciados, em que as leis, aparentemente iguais para todos, não passam de aparência formal, criando, depois, no momento da aplicação, iguais diferentes? Onde a igualdade, na justiça, na saúde, na educação? Onde a fraternidade? Onde a fraternidade neste mundo em que se promovem guerras fratricidas porque é (também) conveniente enriquecer as fábricas e as manipuladoras de armamento? Haverá lugar à esperança, neste mundo cruel, no dealbar do século XXI?

Risk Acceptance in the Furniture Sector: Analysis of Acceptance Level and Relevant Influence Factors

Risk acceptance has been broadly discussed in relation to hazardous risk activities and/or technologies. A better understanding of risk acceptance in occupational settings is also important; however, studies on this topic are scarce. It seems important to understand the level of risk that stakeholders consider sufficiently low, how stakeholders form their opinion about risk, and why they adopt a certain attitude toward risk. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to examine risk acceptance in regard to occupational accidents in furniture industries. The safety climate analysis was conducted through the application of the Safety Climate in Wood Industries questionnaire. Judgments about risk acceptance, trust, risk perception, benefit perception, emotions, and moral values were measured. Several models were tested to explain occupational risk acceptance. The results showed that the level of risk acceptance decreased as the risk level increased. High-risk and death scenarios were assessed as unacceptable. Risk perception, emotions, and trust had an important influence on risk acceptance. Safety climate was correlated with risk acceptance and other variables that influence risk acceptance. These results are important for the risk assessment process in terms of defining risk acceptance criteria and strategies to reduce risks.

The Social contract with endogenous sentiments

Moral values infuence individual behavior and social interactions. A specially signif- cant instance is the case of moral values concerning work e¤ort. Individuals determine what they take to be proper behaviour and judge the others, and themselves, accordingly. They increase their esteem -and self-esteem- for those who perform in excess of the standard and decrease their esteem for those who work less. These changes in self-esteem result from the self-regulatory emotions of guilt or pride extensively studied in Social Psychology. We examine the interactions between sentiments, individual behaviour and the social contract in a model of rational voting over redistribution where individual self-esteem and relative es-teem for others are endogenously determined. Individuals di¤er in their productivities. The desired extent of redistribution depends both on individual income and on individual attitudes toward others. We characterize the politico-economic equilibria in which sentiments, labor supply and redistribution are simultaneously determined. The model has two types of equilibria. In "cohesive" equilibria, all individuals conform to the standard of proper behav- iour, income inequality is low and social esteem is not biased toward any particular type. Under these conditions equilibrium redistribution increases in response to larger inequality. In a "clustered" equilibrium skilled workers work above the mean while unskilled workers work below. In such an equilibrium, income inequality is large and sentiments are biased in favor of the industrious. As inequality increases, this bias may eventually overtake the egoistic demand for greater taxation and equilibrium redistribution decreases. The type of equilibrium that emerges crucially depends on inequality. We contrast the predictions of the model with data on inequality, redistribution, work values and attitudes toward work and toward the poor for a set of OECD countries.

Addressing ethical dilemmas in the clinical care of adolescents: an international view.

This chapter reviews some basic concepts underlying ethical issues in adolescence and provides a step-by-step procedure to address ethical dilemmas involving minor adolescents, based on a deliberative approach. "Deliberation" with the patient, along with involving the opinion of relevant stakeholders if possible, allows for a careful, multidisciplinary examination of all options, the medical and psychosocial consequences, and the moral values stressed by each option. Although the final decision regarding which ethical option should be chosen usually belongs to the health care providers and his or her patient, the deliberative approach provides the ingredients for sound, unbiased decision-making.

The Dyadic and Triadic Therapeutic Alliance in Cross-cultural Health Care: The case of Hispanic American Patients

This research project conducted in the Psychology Department of the University of Lausanne (Switzerland) evaluated the therapeutic alliance with Hispanic American Patients. From the patient's perspective, the therapeutic alliance was explored in two types of frameworks: the dyadic and the triadic setting. The dyadic setting is the encounter between a therapist (health professional) and a patient who ideally share the same language. The triadic setting is the encounter of a therapist and a patient who speak different languages, but are able to interact using the help of an interpreter. My specific interest focuses on studying the therapeutic alliance in a cross- cultural setting through a mixed methodology. As part of the quantitative phase, non- parametric tests were used to analyze 55 questionnaires of the Therapeutic Alliance for Migrants - Health Professionals' version (QALM-PS). For the qualitative phase, a thematic analysis was used to analyze 20 transcript interviews. While no differences were found concerning the strength of the therapeutic alliance between the triadic and dyadic settings, results showed that the factors that enrich the therapeutic alliance with migrant patients depend more on an emotional alliance (bond) than on a rational alliance (agreements). Indeed, the positive relationship with the interpreter, and especially with the therapist, relies considerably on human qualities and moral values, bringing the conception of humanity as an important need when meeting foreign patients in health care settings. In addition, the quality of communication, which could be attributed to the type of interpreter in the triadic setting, plays an important role in the establishment of a positive therapeutic relationship. Ce projet de recherche mené au Département de psychologie de l'Université de Lausanne (Suisse) a évalué l'alliance thérapeutique avec les patients hispano-américains. Du point de vue du patient, l'alliance thérapeutique a été étudiée dans deux types de dispositifs: le cadre dyadique et triadique. Le cadre dyadique est la rencontre d'un thérapeute (professionnel de la santé) et d'un patient qui, idéalement, partagent la même langue. Le cadre triadique est la rencontre d'un thérapeute et d'un patient qui parlent différentes langues, mais sont capables d'interagir grâce à l'aide d'un interprète. Mon intérêt porte en particulier sur l'étude de l'alliance thérapeutique dans un cadre interculturel au travers d'une méthodologie mixte. Dans la phase quantitative, des tests non paramétriques ont été utilisés pour les analyses des 55 questionnaires de l'alliance thérapeutique pour les migrants, version - professionnels de la santé (QALM-PS). Pour la phase qualitative, une analyse thématique a été utilisée pour l'analyse des 20 entretiens transcrits. Bien qu'aucune différence n'a été constatée en ce qui concerne la force de l'alliance thérapeutique entre les cadres dyadiques et triadiques, les résultats montrent que les facteurs qui enrichissent l'alliance thérapeutique avec les patients migrants dépendent plus de l'alliance émotionnelle (lien) que sur une alliance rationnelle (accords). En effet, la relation positive avec l'interprète, et en particulier avec le thérapeute, repose en grande partie sur des qualités humaines et des valeurs morales, ce qui porte la conception de l'humanité comme un besoin important lors de la rencontre des patients étrangers dans un cadre de santé. En outre, la qualité de la communication, qui pourrait être attribuée au type d'interprète dans le cadre triadique, joue un rôle important dans l'établissement d'une relation thérapeutique positive.

Fiktiivisen kirjallisuuden maailmasta monikulttuuriseen Suomeen. Ennakointikertomus kirjallisuudenopetuksen ja monikulttuurisuuskasvatuksen välineenä

From the world of fiction literature into multi-cultural Finland. Anticipatory story as an educational tool in teaching of literature and multiculturalism The research clarifies the relationship between reading fiction literature and multicultural value education in basic education. The research focuses on the subject didactics of mother tongue and literature and on the literature teaching in particular. The objective is to develop a method that is easily transferable into a teaching context so as to intensify the educational discussion based on fiction literature. In essence, understanding fiction literature and the ethical and moral thinking resemble one another, because both of them aim at empathizing with the thinking of a person or with a situation foreign to oneself. For this reason fiction literature is ideally suited for the discussion on ethical and moral values within a subject entity in the basic education. The empirical unit of the research consists of two parts. The first part explains how youth novels published in the years 1993 – 2007 describe multiculturalism in Finnish society. Books on multiculturalism are still few in number within youth literature, and people with a foreign background are mainly minor or background characters in such literary works. Nevertheless, youth novels serve well as a starting point for an educational discussion about multicultural issues. More often than not characters in youth novels are stereotypes and even opposite to each other. The juxtaposing makes a young reader question the stereotypes associated with immigrants. Besides the stereotype, reference to a prototype or a model is possible. The second part tests the usefulness of an anticipatory story based on a fictive text for an educational discussion about multicultural issues. The empirical material was collected from the eighth-grade teaching groups in basic education as follows: one teaching group was an immigrant group, the second one a group of Finns with experience of immigrants while the third group of students had hardly any experience of immigrants. The anticipatory stories were written on the basis of extracts from youth novels with multicultural themes. The material collected for a total of 120 anticipatory stories was analysed by using meaning cue analysis. Using the meaning cue analysis, the anticipatory stories were divided into three groups: stories with predominantly positive meaning cues of interculturalism, ambivalent stories with both positive and negative meaning cues of interculturalism and the stories with predominantly negative meaning cues of interculturalism. The meaning cues produced by girls and boys differ from one another, in particular, by the negative meaning cues of interculturalism. For girls, the predominant meaning cue is fear whereas for boys, it is that of violence. It would also seem that the students, in particular, boys with little experience of immigrants produce more negative meaning cues of interculturalism than do immigrants or Finnish students with experience of immigrants. Further still, it seems that active reading of fiction literature affects the meaning cues of interculturalism in an ambivalent direction. In the way of youth novels this is understandable, because youth novels in general are made up of opposite characters and meaning cues. The less the student takes an interest in reading, the more he used meaning cues from outside the parent text for his anticipatory story. No doubt it would be possible to use fiction literature in the literature education to a much higher extent than it is being used today whereby the literature could be used in basic education for reviewing subject entities or study contents of other study subjects. By way of an anticipatory story and the meaning cue analysis, it is possible to intensify the educational discussions based on fiction literature. However, using fiction literature in the literature education requires consideration of the specific genre of fiction literature.

Der Literaturskandal: Symbolisches Kapital und Selbstbezug am Beispiel Thomas Bernhards

Ce mémoire analyse la réception de l’auteur autrichien Thomas Bernhard (1931-1989) au regard des scandales qui ont marqué sa carrière. Tantôt identifié comme l’imprécateur de l’Autriche, tantôt comme écrivain exceptionnel, il aura remis en question le rôle de son pays dans le national-socialisme et multiplié les attaques ad hominem. Il aura tenu un rôle ambigu dans l’espace public. Tout en insistant sur le caractère fictif de ses œuvres, il se mettait en scène de façon provocatrice dans le discours public ainsi que dans sa fiction. Ce mémoire s’intéresse au fonctionnement du scandale en tant qu’événement social complexe ayant lieu dans l’espace public. Les chercheurs s’entendent pour considérer le scandale comme un trouble ou une irritation résultant d’une transgression, apparente ou avérée. Il s’agit en outre d’un phénomène intégré dans l’ordre social et géré par les médias, caractérisé par l’actualisation des valeurs morales. Dans la présente étude, il est postulé que le capital symbolique (cf. Bourdieu) joue un rôle d’a priori et de catalyseur dans les scandales. Une accumulation initiale de capital symbolique assure une visibilité médiatique automatique. Le capital d’identité de Thomas Bernhard – soit la personnalisation du capital symbolique – est hybride et complexe, de sorte qu’il est difficilement appréciable. La difficile appréciation du capital de l’auteur se traduit par l’incertitude des journalistes et du public quant à son message : réactions dispro-portionnées, critique du particulier perçue comme mise en cause de l’universel. Toute dé-claration, toute œuvre de Bernhard est assujettie à ses prestations « scandaleuses » antérieu-res. Ce mémoire insiste sur le caractère autoréférentiel du scandale et s’intéresse aux actes de langage performatifs (cf. John L. Austin). Le corpus comporte des romans de Bernhard, leurs recensions, des articles de quotidiens, des lettres de lecteurs, des documents juridiques ainsi que la correspondance entre Bernhard et Siegfried Unseld.

Faussetés imaginaires

Les récits de fiction comportant une moralité déviante posent parfois problème quant à la détermination de ce qui est « vrai dans l’histoire ». Si par exemple on a aucune difficulté à considérer comme vrai dans le monde imaginaire que « Giselda a tué son bébé », les choses sont différentes lorsqu’il s’agit d’imaginer une situation dans laquelle nos valeurs morales sont remises en question. Confronté à un récit comportant l’énoncé « Giselda a fait la bonne chose en tuant son bébé, après tout, c’était une fille », on aura tendance à questionner l’autorité de l’auteur : celui-ci peut bien penser que l’infanticide féminin est moralement justifié, mais en fait c’est faux, même dans l’histoire. Les conditions qui donnent lieu au phénomène ont été articulées de diverses façons, l’objectif étant habituellement de parvenir à une formulation qui dépasse le cadre plus étroitement moral. On invoque par exemple une distinction plus générale entre l’évaluatif et le descriptif. Après avoir caractérisé plus précisément les notions d’imagination et d’imaginabilité, j’examinerai brièvement la littérature sur le sujet et défendrai une solution reposant sur les règles de modification de l’extension et de l’intension des prédicats imaginaires. D’après cette analyse, ce qui se produit dans les récits moraux déviants s’explique par un principe plus général qui s’applique autant à l’évaluatif qu’au descriptif.

Rancheros y el Estado mexicano : la construcción del honor a través del poder

La présente recherche vise à examiner une société d’éleveurs et d’agriculteurs (rancheros), dans une communauté qui se situe au nord du Jalisco : Colotlán. J’étudierai son inscription dans l’environnement, son économie de plus inscrite dans les marchés national et international, sa configuration politique (en considérant sa relation avec l’État) et sa symbolique, dont son éthique de travail fait partie. Mon enquête m’a permis l’identification des différentes formes de relations entre les pairs et les valeurs, les dimensions affectives et les représentations qui en découlent. Je propose l’existence d’un type de formation sociale qu’on peut nommer « société d’honneur » en raison du poids des traditions qui concernent tout autant leur principale activité économique que leur formation identitaire constituée par des valeurs morales et des normes reliées à l’honneur. J’examine la relation du pouvoir avec la politique et la manière dont on construit le pouvoir politique ; le rapport qui existe entre l’honneur et le pouvoir, la manière dont les personnes construisent l’honneur à travers le pouvoir. Cette société subit l’impact croissant de pratiques et d’une idéologie modernisatrice, avec des prétentions d’institutionnalisation par les biais des intérêts nationaux étatiques. S’appuyant sur une méthodologie qui combine le travail dans les archives et la recherche prolongée sur le terrain cette thèse veut contribuer aux études sur les identités culturelles dans lesquelles l’honneur occupe une place centrale, dans le contexte de la relation entre les communautés éleveuses agricoles et l’État.
