Análise do uso de SIG no roteamento dos veículos de coleta de resíduos sólidos domiciliares

Relata-se neste trabalho, a análise do uso de um Sistema de Informação Geográfica - SIG como ferramenta para roteirização de veículos de coleta de resíduos sólidos domiciliares. O software utilizado foi o TransCAD, versão 3.2, que permite desenvolver rotas utilizando algoritmos que incluem o procedimento de roteirização em arco. O objetivo é minimizar a extensão total a ser percorrida pelos veículos coletores. O estudo de caso foi realizado na cidade de Ilha Solteira - SP. Os dados coletados e os resultados obtidos pelo TransCAD foram processados no software Microsoft Excel. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram reduções percentuais de até 41% na distância total percorrida e de 68% no tempo total de percurso em relação ao serviço atual.

Cuidados paliativos e ser-para-morte: reflexões sobre um atendimento psicológico

Death is a theme that fascinates, though at the same time, frightens and uneasy the human being, despite the finitude being present at our daily lives. In each historical time, death has been represented in a peculiar way, from familiar death (at Middle Ages), to interdicted death (at contemporary times). Through this path it‟s possible to recognize several attitudes and stages front of death and the process of dying as possibilities of coping and the understanding of these occurrences. In other hand, the palliative care proposal came as a humanized attention, front of the human finitude, recognizing death as a part of the vital cycle. The Brazilian reality, in this context, still faces a lot of political, economic and social barriers that makes difficult the consolidation of palliative care at the death process in the Brazilian Health Care policies. Currently, according to the Brazilian Palliative Care Association, Brazil presents an average of 40 services with this proposal. Such data portray our inexpressive condition in relation to these cares when considering the territorial extension and population of our country. Considering this scenario is relevant think about death and the process of dying at contemporary times, at a health context in which palliative care, when trying to humanize the process of dying, bring to light the issue of human finitude and the beingtowards- death, as thought by the philosopher Martin Heidegger. According to him, the human being (Dasein) is constituted as a being-towards-death, once death is its most own potentiality-for-bein and its last possibility to be lived. In view of the ideas presented, the proposed study appears as a qualitative research of existential-phenomenological inspiration and aims to understand the experience of being-toward-death from the psychological care to a person out of possibilities of cure living on palliative cares. The psychological care happened at the patient‟s home, understanding the clinical process of being-with-the-other from the written reports of the psychology/researcher, by the accompanying sessions, configured as an experience report. These reports are focused on the experiences lived by the patient, as well as apprehended by the psychologist at the intersubjectivity relation and its own experience with Dasein and, therefore, being-toward-death. The reports were hermeneutically interpreted, from the senses that emerged in this process, considering the notion of being-toward-death proposed by Heidegger. Furthermore, it was important to dialogue with other authors that approached the studied theme. It is perceived, through brief and meaningful reflections about the clinical treatments started, that the experience of illness with no possibilities of cure makes the Dasein revises feelings and experiences that were marked at the temporality and historicity of existence. It is a stage of life in which the cultural dimension and the common sense of finitude, often gains ground in the human condition, taken in its ordinary sense, unlike the way it has been thought from an ontological and existential perspective of death. Thus, there are singulars and revealing paths in the palliative care scenery as possible ways for authenticity of being-toward-death

Práticas institucionais/discursivas acerca dos cuidados com os bebês prematuros e/ou de baixo peso: o programa canguru

The Kangaroo Program was implemented in Brazil in 2000 through the Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde SUS) sustained with a humanized rethoric of health care assistance. This program adopts the skin-to-skin contact contributing to the mother-infant bond, breastfeeding and promoting security in mother s care. The users of SUS are encouraged to live in the maternity ward to follow the baby health improvement. However, it was verified in previous observations that mothers participation in the Kangaroo Program has been done through an imposed practice. Therefore, this study intended to understand the texts that permeate the kangaroo practice. This research was developed through two studies: 1) an historic exploration of motherhood concept and an analysis of how the motherhood is presented in the official document that orients the program; 2) an analysis of institutional dynamic of Kangaroo Program, emphasizing the study about the health workers everyday practice, the mothers view about their life in the maternity wards, and the attendance practice. It is highlighted that the relation between this two studies allowed the comprehension abouthow the official discourses can influence the health workers behaviors and how their viewpoint and position can shape the everyday work in a public health program. This research, supported by Institutional Ethnography, considers that people s practices and experiences are socially organized and shaped by broad social forces. The discourse method was used in the documental analysis and in the analysis of qualitative data from empiric research. The research showed that the kangaroo program has been an excellent way to save resources and to improve some baby s biologic and psychological aspects. However, this program has failed to consider the social, economic and cultural complexity of mothers and the structural limitation of the health care system. The official document uses the economic and medical approach, following the hegemonic biomedical model and the life style of the people that don t use the public health system. Consequently, the program has not been successful because it is planned without people participation. On the other hand, it was verified that although some professionals are committed with their work, the mainly does not consider mothers participation as an active process, using the institutional power as a social control to keep mothers uninformed about the possibility to leave the maternity wards. As a result, the research also showed that mothers perceive the program as mandatory and not as option that can improve pleasure moments. It is, therefore, necessary to consider the complex social determinants of health that can increase mothers participation in the Kangaroo Program. Bringing these issues into debate can be a reflective exercise on citizenship and governance, allowing spaces for the improvement of public health programs

Desinstitucionalização dos cuidados a pessoas com transtornos mentais na atenção básica: aportes para a implementação de ações

Parte-se do interesse dispensado contemporaneamente às articulações entre saúde mental e atenção básica. Após uma breve síntese histórica e conceitual neste campo, discutem-se aspectos operativos da desinstitucionalização dos cuidados a pessoas com transtornos mentais na atenção básica. Com a análise de alguns estudos e experiências são destacados, a seguir, componentes fundamentais para avançar neste sentido: (1) desenvolver processos de comunicação que visem ampliar a legibilidade profissional, (2) superar a centralização em ações restritas aos enquadres tradicionais, (3) manter questionamento permanente com relação ao risco de psiquiatrização do cuidado em saúde mental, (4) superar concepções culpabilizantes do grupo familiar, e (5) investir na formação das equipes de atenção básica para as múltiplas dimensões do cuidado em saúde mental. Apontam-se, desta forma, alguns caminhos e direções possíveis para o desenho de ações de saúde mental na atenção básica que tenham, no horizonte, a perspectiva antimanicomial.

Resultado de partos domiciliares atendidos por enfermeiras de 2005 a 2009 em Florianópolis, SC

A cross-sectional study was performed to analyze obstetric and neonatal results of planned home births assisted by obstetric nurses in the city of Florianepolis, Southern Brazil. Data collected from the medical records of 100 parturient women cared for between 2005 and 2009 indicated 11 hospital transfers, nine of which underwent a Cesarean section. The majority of women who had a home birth showed normal fetal heart beat (94.0%) and progress on the partogram (61.0%), vertical water delivery was the position most frequently chosen (71.9%), newborns had an Apgar score >= 7 at five minutes (98.9%), episiotomy was performed in 1.0%, and 49.4% did not need perineal suturing. Outcomes indicated that planned home birth is safe.

Concepções dos cuidados em saúde mental por uma equipe de saúde da família, em perspectiva histórico-cultural

O presente estudo visa a analisar sentidos pessoais e significações sociais das atividades de atenção em saúde mental desenvolvidas por profissionais integrantes de uma equipe de saúde da família. Parte-se, para tal, da perspectiva teórica da psicologia histórico-cultural de Vigotsky (1896-1934). O trabalho é parte de uma pesquisa participante e, portanto, é contextualizado na etapa de inserção no campo. Observou-se que a equipe considera relevante a determinação das condições de vida no processo saúde-doença da população atendida, a necessidade de lançar mão de estratégias diversificadas no cuidado para além da consulta, a importância de se cuidar da saúde mental da própria equipe, bem como dificuldades na abordagem da família. Indica-se a importância, para o trabalho cotidiano das equipes, das possibilidades de superação da exclusividade do núcleo biomédico na determinação do processo saúde-doença apontadas nos princípios operacionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família, expressas na utilização do acolhimento como recurso de cuidado, a constituição de vínculos e responsabilização e a continuidade da atenção.
