Avaliação do acesso aos serviços de reabilitação física para vítimas de acidentes de trânsito: caminhos para melhoria da qualidade do sistema de saúde

The Physical Rehabilitation services (PR) are of fundamental importance in combating the global epidemic of Traffic Accidents (TA). Considering the numerous physical and social consequences of the survivors, quality problems in access to PR are a hazard to recovery of victims. It is necessary to improve the management of quality of services, assessing priority dimensions and intervening in their causes, to ensure rehabilitation available in time and suitable conditions. This study aimed to identify barriers to access to rehabilitation considering the perception of TA victims and professionals. The aim is also to estimate the access to rehabilitation and their associated factors. This is a qualitative and quantitative study of exploratory nature developed in Natal / RN with semi-structured interviews with 19 health professionals and telephone survey to 155 victims of traffic accidents. To explore barriers to access the speeches were transcribed and analyzed using the Alceste software (version 4.9). During the interviews used the following guiding question: “What barriers hinder or prevent access to physical rehabilitation for victims of traffic accidents?”. The names of classes and axes resulting from Alceste was performed by ad hoc query to three external researchers with subsequent consensus of the most representative name of analysis. We conducted multivariate analysis of the influence of the variables of the accident, sociodemographic, clinical and assistance on access to rehabilitation. Associations with p <0.20 in the bivariate analysis were submitted to logistic regression, step by step, with p <0.05 and confidence interval (CI) of 95%. The main barriers identified were: “Bureaucratic regulation”, “Long time to start rehabilitation”, “No post-surgery referral” and “inefficiency of public services”. These barriers were divided into a theoretical model built from the cause-effect diagram, in which we observed that insufficient access to rehabilitation is the product of causes related to organizational structure, work processes, professional and patients. Was constructed two logistic regression models: “General access to rehabilitation” and “Access to rehabilitation to public service”. 51.6% of patients had access to rehabilitation, and 32.9% in public and 17.9% in the private sector. The regression model “General access to rehabilitation” included the variables Income (OR:3.7), Informal Employment (OR:0.11), Unemployment (OR:0.15), Perceived Need for PR (OR:10) and Referral (OR: 27.5). The model “Access to rehabilitation in the public service” was represented by the “Referral to Public Service” (OR: 23.0) and “Private Health Plan” (OR: 0.07). Despite the known influence of social determinants on access to health services, a situation difficult to control by the public administration, this study found that the organizational and bureaucratic procedures established in health care greatly determine access to rehabilitation. Access difficulties show the seriousness of the problem and the factors suggest the need for improvements in comprehensive care for TA survivors and avoid unnecessary prolongation of the suffering of the victims of this epidemic.

Serviços-escola de psicologia do Rio Grande do Norte: formação profissional e política pública de saúde em debate

The Psychology University Services is stablished normatively as an indispensable equipment to the recognition of the graduation courses of psychologists by the Brazilian Education Ministery. The Public Healthcare Policies (Universal Health System/SUS) constitutes itself as a input field of the professional category, but shows huge challenges in the formation of these professionals. The objective of this work is to analyse the functioning of the Psychology University Services (SEP) and the Superior Educational Institutions from Natal, understood as important formation devices to attend the actual demands of the psychologist's work on SUS. For this, it sought a) characterize the psychological practices developed in the SEP; b) relate the National Curricular Lines of Direction of the psychology courses to the skills and competences developed in the SEP to the performance on the public healthcare policies; c) mapping ways of including the SEP in the network designed by the healthcare policy. Interviews were performed with 13 academic supervisors, 8 field supervisors and technicians of superior level (TNC), along with 9 managers, being for of the Psychology University Services and 5 of the graduation programs. Questionnaires were also applied to 57 interns and 24 graduates. Besides that, two conversation circles were performed with the faculty and technician members from two of the Educational Institutions that were participating of the research, as well as a workshop with students and psychologists, promoted by the CRP 17. We observed that most part of the faculty members and managers know the DCN and comprehend that the formation is in process of change in what concerns to the extension of the formation to the performance of the psychologists in various contexts. However, most part of the TNC don't know about them. Moreover, the results point to the predominance of the assisting model based on the traditional clinic psychology, although the articulation with the public healthcare and social assistance networks can already be timidly visualized. Different modalities of practices in theses Psychology University Services were also detected, such as conversation groups, thematic workshops, organizational consultancies, team meetings with the interns and TNS in a daily basis, matriciament in mental health, therapeutic monitoring, among others. Yet, the SEP in Rio Grande do Norte are still isolated from the other courses that perform in the healthcare area and also from the services that compose the public healthcare and public policies.

Setor público não-estatal : (des)caminhos do controle social e da equidade no acesso aos serviços das organizações sociais de saúde

O controle social, ou democracia direta, refere-se ao acesso à informação e à participação da sociedade civil, organizada ou não, na gestão, implementação de ações e fiscalização das organizações públicas e privadas. O exercício do controle social é um importante instrumento para evitar desvios e impropriedades na execução do gasto público. Com o advento das Organizações Sociais (publicização), nos anos 90, houve um esforço para garantir a consolidação e a ampliação dos espaços de controle social nessas instituições, espaços esses, contudo, não muito eficazes. À luz dessa discussão teórica analisa-se aqui a experiência de uma organização social de saúde, a Associação das Pioneiras Sociais APS) - Hospital Sarah Kubtscheque -, enfatizando-se a efetividade do exercício do controle social em seu conselho de administração. A metodologia baseou-se na análise qualitativa de dados obtidos em entrevistas e em documentos oficiais. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT

Contributos psicológicos para a compreensão da utilização inapropiada dos serviços de saúde: Estudo exploratório num serviço de urgência

O sobrelotamento dos Serviços de Urgência Pediátrica é uma realidade da sociedade atual, verificando-se uma crescente progressão de atendimentos, principalmente de falsas urgências. Tendo como objetivo identificar fatores psicológicos que possam contribuir para a compreensão da utilização inapropriada destes serviços, foi desenvolvido este estudo exploratório-descritivo. A amostra foi constituída por 115 crianças, observadas sem critérios de urgência num Serviço de Urgência Pediátrica, e respetivos acompanhantes, dos quais 26.1% são emocionalmente perturbados. Os dados, recolhidos através da ficha de urgência, da entrevista e de um questionário, revelaram que a recorrência frequente ao Serviço de Urgência está relacionada com as crenças dos acompanhantes acerca do serviço, com a perceção de criança mais frágil, mais difícil e com mais problemas de comportamento. Conhecidos os efeitos da hospitalização infantil, pretende-se que este estudo abra portas à exploração de novos horizontes, na tentativa de encontrar soluções para a racionalização da utilização dos recursos de saúde.

Gestão de serviços de saúde

A unidade introduz algumas reflexões sobre ações de gerenciamento de natureza técnico-assistencial que se operacionalizam no terreno da Atenção Primária e materializam os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), pilares da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF). A unidade, assim, aborda questões como habilitação de equipes de saúde da família (geral e bucal), o processo de implantação das mesmas, gerenciamento de ações e avaliação. A gestão dos sistemas é apresentada, assim, através do conceito do pacto pela saúde (2006) e seus três componentes: pacto pela vida, pacto em defesa do SUS e pacto de gestão.

Gestão do cuidado e dos serviços de saúde

Este objeto começa mostrando que a descentralização necessita quebrar os moldes conhecidos e estabelecer novas práticas, promovendo a articulação dos envolvidos, através de um modelo de Gestão Participativa da Saúde. Mostra os desafios de envolver todos os atores no contexto da saúde, interdisciplinarmente, a fim de que os profissionais consigam essa integração, gerando projetos terapêuticos que respondam aos princípios de vinculação, corresponsabilização, equidade e integralidade. A gestão participativa e integrada necessita de foco na realidade local e iniciativas de novos arranjos institucionais, como a ampliação da autonomia e poder local, a fim de que se alcance das metas estabelecidas. Para isso, os diferentes níveis de assistência devem ser executados por equipe multidisciplinar e de forma integrada. Unidade 2 do módulo 4 que compõe o Curso de Especialização em Saúde da Família.
