Trabalho e saúde na sociedade capitalista: uma relação inversamente proporciona

It is a dissertation which has the Area of Concentration: Social Services, Vocational Training, Labour and Social Protection. Research Line: Social Services, Labor, Social Protection and Citizenship. Brings an approach to health and worker safety, approached on the organization of work in their processes of worker exploitation, analyzed from the critical perspective and all. Its central objective of uncovering how the organization of work affects the health of their workers, considering the working process in the capitalist mode of production, the health-disease relationship. Displays the worker, as determined by the work process, emphasizing, along the lines of capitalism, the consequences for the physical well-being, mental and social workers. To this end, we make a documentary and bibliographic research, whose point of analysis is based on the perspective of the centrality of work, recovering their sense of ontological Marx, through which the transformations are discussed in the working world, listed based on context productive restructuring of capital, which occurs along the imperialist stage of capitalist mode of production. It is problematized, though, worker health, analyzed from the wider definition of health as a field of public health, considering the work process in health-disease relationship. Finally, the research developed raised between 2006 and 2010, the Graduate Programs UFRN that address the range of issues studied in this dissertation. The scientific outputs are problematized as a way to reveal the theoretical trends (critical or conservative) which facilitate the thematic area

A dívida da vida: redes clientelistas na saúde "de favor"

The relationship between mayors and patients Who use a Casa de Apoio in Natal, RN, shows us some traditional political features anda t the same time happens in na urban and modern context, regulated by a formal institution, the State. The Oestana, as is named this Casa de Apoio, offers daily that are paid by some City Halls located in the West of Rio Grande do Norte where people go away to capital from which they have medical and hospital care. This assistance includes paid services like accommodation, food, transportation, etc., as well as services that aren´t paid as information, support and hospital material, for example. When the patients access these service, they will gain a debt with a services provider (the mayor) which its eventually paid with the vote in the municipal elections. The goal is to understand the social, the political, the symbolic and mainly the life meaning of this relationship. Our research was developed by interviews with Oestanas users and regular visits to this house that showed a political bond regulated by moral and subjection, but is reconfigured by new social categories as the affection and the logical networks.

Percepção de pacientes HIV-positivos de um centro de referência em relação a tratamento de saúde

Introduction: health professionals, in many cases, have defensive and exclusionary practices, patterns of prejudice and discrimination in response to HIVpositive patients. Objective: to verify the perception of patients seropositives from a reference center for STD/HIV/aids in relation to health care. Methods: there were interviews with questions related to discriminatory attitudes suffered, access and health care. Results: 130 individuals participated in the survey, from which 30 (23.1%) reported events of discrimination suffered outside the center of reference, predominantly from surgeon-dentists and 112 (86.2%) believed to have the same access and health care as other citizens. 62 (47.7%) treated with the dental center of reference, of which 56 (90.3%) felt good being treated in a dental unit only for HIV positive and six (9.7%) were indifferent, believed to be more exposed, or have a bias to attend dental seropositive individuals. Conclusion: it is concluded that many patients have already been discriminated against outside the reference center. However, most of them have a positive feeling towards the treatment received at a specifi c place for treating HIV-positive patients, due to the feeling of being welcome at that place due to the humanization and access to health care.

Direito fundamental à saúde: a questão de sua exigibilidade

Esta dissertação tem como objetivo discutir a questão da exigibilidade do direito à saúde no Brasil e seu impacto sobre a formulação e implementação de políticas públicas (mínimo existencial x reserva do possível). Aborda-se a evolução histórica da saúde até sua consagração como direito fundamental na Constituição Brasileira de 1988. Por meio da jurisprudência formada favoravelmente à saúde, os tribunais pátrios têm assumido papel ativo na interpretação e na proteção desse direito. Várias vezes, as decisões judiciais determinam, na prática, uma redefinição das políticas públicas do Executivo. Trata-se de um contexto que vem incentivando as pessoas ao ajuizamento de ações para exigir a concretização do direito à saúde, fenômeno também conhecido como judicialização do direito à saúde. Tal ativismo se explica pelo fato de o Judiciário considerar que a ineficiência administrativa e o método de priorização da atenção à saúde revelam falhas que interferem na proteção do acesso à saúde, reconhecendo-os como verdadeiro descumprimento do dever estatal em relação a tal direito.

Planos de saúde e envelhecimento populacional: um modelo viável?

O presente trabalho versa sobre a relação presente e futura dos planos de saúde com os idosos. Tem como pressupostos iniciais a existência de uma janela demográfica de oportunidades que será encerrada, conforme estimativa do IBGE, em 2020 e o fato de o modelo de atenção à saúde por planos de saúde se encontrar em expansão. Diante da realidade de envelhecimento populacional, pergunta-se: Os planos de saúde são um modelo viável para a garantia da atenção à saúde dos idosos? As respostas a essa questão foram construídas adotando-se como método de trabalho a análise de doutrina, jurisprudência, legislação e, quando necessário, fontes não tradicionais do Direito como os dados de órgãos de pesquisa demográficos e econômicos, a imprensa e as associações setoriais. Inicialmente tratou-se do funcionamento do setor de planos de saúde, desde a sua origem, indicando-se que historicamente sempre manteve uma relação simbiótica com o Estado, em especial com os recursos públicos. Para tanto, foram explorados temas como o ressarcimento ao SUS, o uso da estrutura dos hospitais públicos pelos planos de saúde e a existência de subsídios, abatimentos e outras formas de financiamento público das atividades deste setor. No capítulo seguinte se detalhou a questão do envelhecimento populacional, apresentando-se a legislação pertinente, os dados que revelam a composição presente e estimada da população brasileira, os principais problemas de saúde que afetam os idosos e os impactos da mudança de perfil demográfico para a política de saúde. No capítulo 3 evidenciou-se a já problemática relação dos planos de saúde com os idosos, permeada por discriminações na contratação, cobrança de mensalidades proibitivas e reajustes expulsivos, presença de cláusulas abusivas em contratos antigos, judicialização dos reajustes por mudança de faixa etária e conflitos decorrentes da prevalência da contratação na forma coletiva. Por fim, no derradeiro capítulo concluiu-se que o modelo de planos de saúde não é viável para a garantia da atenção à saúde do idoso, sendo urgente que haja uma discussão sobre qual modelo de saúde o país deseja sob pena de que as conquistas decorrentes da afirmação da saúde como direito fundamental se percam. Há características inerentes ao setor que o aparta dos idosos e, portanto, da nova realidade demográfica do país, como a prática da seleção de risco, a cobrança de mensalidades com preços insustentáveis para os idosos, o foco no modelo curativo de atenção à saúde e o afastamento da prevenção. Por outro lado, o cenário se agrava por conta das recorrentes falhas na regulação e na regulamentação, e pelo tratamento cindido, na prática, da política de saúde como se não fosse una e não devesse funcionar em harmonia, independentemente da fonte de financiamento. Há, portanto, um alto risco de que a situação dos idosos nos planos de saúde se torne insustentável, dando margem a medidas imediatistas ampliadoras dos subsídios públicos aos planos de saúde. A contrarreforma sanitária, entendida como o retrocesso das ações e dos serviços de saúde ao modelo anterior à Constituição Federal, é um perigo a ser considerado e combatido.

A RELAÇÃO ENTRE RELIGIÃO E SAÚDE NO DISCURSO DE ELLEN G. WHITE (1827-1915)

O objetivo principal da pesquisa encetada foi o de ressaltar a importância do discurso de Ellen White, uma importante líder religiosa do século XIX, nos Estados Unidos da América, para a formação de um estilo e prática de vida, que ainda hoje caracteriza os adventistas do sétimo dia no que se refere a saúde. Outro, não menos importante objetivo, foi o de comparar os principais conceitos de Ellen White sobre saúde e estilo de vida com algumas preocupações científicas e acadêmicas contemporâneas. Para isso, este trabalho mostra como a lista de oito remédios naturais propostos por White sumarizam o ideal de uma vida saudável ainda praticada por milhões de adventistas, 100 anos após a morte de sua Profetiza: ar puro, água, alimentação adequada, luz solar, exercícios físicos, repouso, abstinência, e confiança em Deus. Os conselhos de White foram contrastados com várias práticas culturais que relacionam religião e saúde, levando-nos à conclusão que a cultura adventista tem se mostrado como a mais adequada na salvaguarda da saúde. Isto porque White apresentou uma síntese de elementos da cultura judaica, cristã e ocidental. Nesse sentido, as suas orientações garantem-lhe um lugar privilegiado no movimento de reforma da saúde nos Estados Unidos que ocorreu naquele País na segunda metade do século XIX. Muitos de seus conselhos estão sendo atualmente colocados em prática por todos aqueles que se preocupam com a saúde, longevidade, e a adequação do estilo de vida com as regras inspiradas na natureza e numa espiritualidade sadia.

ALTERNATIVAS COMUNICACIONAIS A ESTRATÉGIA DE SAÚDE DA FAMÍLIA

O estudo exploratório de caso que teve como objetivo analisar o processo de comunicação utilizado pelos profissionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família, na Unidade de Saúde de Maruípe, no município de Vitória, capital do Espírito Santo. Como amostra, escolhemos a Região de Maruípe, que possui o maior número de habitantes da capital, segundo dados do IBGE/2000 e em que a estratégia atinge toda a população. A coleta de dados se realizou pela aplicação de questionários estruturados com perguntas abertas, semiabertas e fechadas aos integrantes de duas equipes de Saúde da Família que, voluntariamente, decidiram participar da pesquisa. Foram aplicados dois tipos diferentes de questionários: um para oito Agentes Comunitários de Saúde e outro para treze membros da equipe. Os dados foram quantificados e analisados qualitativamente visando refletir sobre a importância da comunicação nas ações de promoção e prevenção da saúde, e sua relação com a atenção básica municipal e a redução do número de internações nos hospitais por causas básicas. Com base na teoria crítica, na teoria do agir comunicativo de Habermas e nos recentes estudos latino-americanos sobre a importância da comunicação como insumo na saúde, analisamos os instrumentos de comunicação utilizados pela equipe e a forma como essa comunicação se estabelece, a fim de traçar um protocolo de sugestões para minimizar os problemas de comunicação no desenvolvimento das ações.

Acolhimento prescrito x real: uma análise sobre as relações entre trabalhadores e usuários na estratégia saúde da família

User embracement has been proposed as a tool that contributes to humanize the nursing, to increase the users’ access to the services, to ensure the resolvability of claims, to organize the services and promote the strengthening of the links between them and the health professionals. In the city of Recife, this practice has been fomented by the municipal government and its implementation is guided by normative acts, with evaluation matrices and proposition of goals, based on a model created by the public administration. This study intended to analyze the relation between the prescribed user embracement and the real one and their interferences with the relations of reciprocity between workers and users in the health units of basic attention in Recife. Four units of the Family Health Strategy at the Sanitary District IV of the city of Recife – PE were taken as an investigation field. The investigation had a qualitative character, so, Interviews were performed involving professionals and users whose speeches were recorded by the voice digital mode and literally transcript. The obtained speeches were analyzed mostly through the Discourse of the Collective Subject methodological approach, being also used, but on a smaller scale, the technique of thematic analysis, in the dialogic way, with theoretical contributions and official documents related to the theme. The results pointed that in most of the health units the professionals execute the proposed protocols and consider that these have a positive influence for the working process in user embracement, however, factors such as the excessive demand, the physical structure of the units, little resolvability of the reference network, singularities of the units, among others, have appeared, hampering the accomplishment of the prescribed, creating, thus, a negative influence on the working process of the user embracement. The reciprocal relations have also suffered the influences of these factors, which made difficult, therefore, the circulation of gift. Meanwhile, other factors such as access, resolvability, sheltering attitude and responsabilization, potentiated the reciprocal exchange between professionals and users. The findings demand the prescriptive acts and the reciprocal relations of the user embracement to be directly influenced by the singularities present in each community, by the human variabilities and by factors connected to the structure and working process, so it shall be operated with caution in order to provide a real user embracement with quality

A articulação entre a estratégia saúde da família e o Centro de Atenção Psicossocial: análise de experiência em município do Nordeste brasileiro

The antimanicomial psychiatric reform is a process that seeks to deconstruct the exclusionary logic caused by hospitalizations, providing strategies for social reintegration of individuals. In this sense, the primary care through the Family Health Strategy - FHS comes progressively becoming strategic space in mental health interventions, configured as a field of practice and production of new modes of care. In this perspective, there has been a process of implementing this proposal in the Areia Branca City/RN, through the articulation of Psychosocial Care Network and the Family Health Strategy / ESF. However, this process has not been able to bring changes in practices. From the view that the relationship between mental health and primary care is a challenge currently being faced, that improving the care provided and the expansion of the access to services with guaranteed continuity of care depend on the effectiveness of this joint, established themselves as research objective: To investigate how is the relationship between the FHS team and CAPS team in care mental health in the town of Areia Branca - RN from the speeches of professionals. And if you had specific purposes: 1) Know the demand in existing mental health in the town of White Sand - RN served by FHS; 2) Identify limits and difficulties in the relationship between the ESF teams and CAPS; 3) Identify potential for linkages between ESF teams and CAPS for the establishment of local RAPS. This was a descriptive, exploratory study with a qualitative methodological design, whose subjects were professionals from the Family Health Strategy, professionals Psychosocial Care Center and responsible for the conduct / management of mental health in the municipality. The research tools used informal observations, semistructured interviews and focus groups were used. The data obtained were analyzed for the content analysis of Bardin, allowing discuss the relevance of the theoretical framework with data obtained through observation and interpretation of the relationship between the Family Health Strategy and the network of Psychosocial Care in Areia Branca-RN. On the one hand, there was strong demand for mental health arising from users and their families and / or caregivers. On the other, it was verified that although there is some progress with regard to perceptions of mental health, there are still practical, historical and contextually rooted, which act as barriers to effective response to this demand in view of deinstitutionalization. In this sense, it is considered important to emphasize that the teams of the Family Health Strategy should be trained to ensure the health practice with integrity and incorporating the mental health network in the municipality. This training must occur through continuing health education.

Acolhimento na estratégia saúde da família: o que dizem os usuários?

The objective of the National Humanization Policy (NHP) is to humanize relations between professionals and users. It is guided by the proposal of expanded clinic and proposes the embracement as a strategy for its existence. The embracement requires qualified hearing, the provision of adequate technologies and the establishment of relations for better solving health problems of users. The objective of this study was to evaluate user satisfaction of the Family Health Strategy (FHS) regarding the embracement from the perspective of qualified hearing and improved relations in the city of Recife- PE. In this quantitative, qualitative, evaluative and cross-sectional study, 297 users of the services offered by the FHS were interviewed in six health districts of the city. For data collection, the Satisfaction Rating Scale of users with Mental Health Services - Satis-BR- abbreviated and adapted to the subject embracement was used. Quantitative data were analyzed by using the software Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 17.0, calculating the absolute and relative frequencies. Qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis of Bardin with the elaboration of thematic categories. The results indicate that most users are satisfied with the embracement offered by the teams. About 66% reported being very or fairly heard by professionals; 80.2% reported to have obtained some or much help when searched for embracement; 64.6% indicated that the embracement is friendly or very friendly. Regarding ambience, 55.9% of users demonstrated indifference and dissatisfaction with comfort and appearance; regarding general facilities of the service, 69.4% reported as regular to awful. Three thematic categories were revealed by the speeches: satisfaction with embracement, dissatisfaction with the ambience, and suggestions for improvements in embracement and service. This study contributed to the understanding that both the hearing and relations are present in the embracement of the city and also to demonstrate that the ambience is a possible weakness in the opinion of the users.

Epidemiologia e saúde bucal coletiva: um caminhar compartilhado.

The public health dentistry is a way to bring oral health to Brazilian National Health System (SUS) and vice-versa. Thus, the epidemiology, in this context, it is one of the most important allies. In this article we intend to discuss the "shared walkway" between epidemiology and public health dentistry, through two views: first, we analyzed the efforts to establish methodological models for oral health sectional studies and the possibilities to construct a national data base. Second, we discussed how this knowledge has been transformed in a qualified scientific production presented in meetings and papers, which reflects, at the same time, about the contribution of this process in the consolidation of public health dentistry field. We concluded that this "shared walkway" was (and still is), influenced by political aspects, which, in different moments, leads to an improvement of public health dentistry. The oral health epidemiology has been established as a knowledge area, with regard to the scientific production in Brazil. At the same time, provide a tool that contributes to make oral health care models more appropriate to National Health System principles and, in other hand, make better the discussions about the social determinants of oral diseases.
