Gestão publica participativa : a experiencia do Conselho Municipal de Saude de Belo Horizonte

Este estudo tem como tema central a participação social na gestão pública de saúde, garantida fonnalmente desde a edição da Lei Orgânica da Saúde (1990). Procura avaliar em que medida a criação do Conselho Municipal de Saúde de Belo Horizonte possibilitou a descentralização política e institucional, e a democratização da gerência do sistema de saúde na esfera municipal. Examinou-se a participação dos conselheiros de saúde, sobretudo dos cidadãos/usuários, na fonnulação e implementação de políticas de saúde, a partir das recomendações realizadas por Souto-Maior & Gondim (1992). Assim sendo, dêu-se ênfase à avaliação da participação social como processo político de intervenção nas decisões governamentais. Partiu-se do princípio que a participação direta em instâncias colegiadas de gestão de políticas públicas pode se constituir um meio eficiente de controle dos cidadãos sobre as ações do Poder Público, bem como um caminho para a democratização da relação governo e sociedade. Utilizou-se o método estudo de caso, tendo como população os 28 membros efetivos do Conselho Municipal de Saúde de Belo Horizonte no período 1994-95. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a atuação desse Conselho de Saúde, em sua segunda gestão, tem possibilitado uma maior autonomia político-institucional, tomando-se, gradativamente, um centro de poder político decisório do sistema local de saúde. A experiência do Conselho de Saúde do Município de Belo Horizonte constitui-se em uma valiosa contribuição para a prática de gestão de saúde mais democrática, onde aos cidadãos/usuários cabe um importante papel catalizador desse processo.

Um estudo sobre as ações integradas de saude no municipio do Rio de Janeiro : estagio de implementação

O Brasil não possui sistema Integrado de prestação de assistência à saúde, que contemple integralidade de ações e cobertura universal a toda'sua população. Embora muito preconizada, a-saúde neste país ain da nao se constitui de fato em .direito de todos os seus cidadãos e em dever do Estado. As políticas de cres~imento econômico desvinculadas de políticas sociais compensatórias vêm permitindo a grande contingente da população brasileira subsistir em condições indignas de vida. Ao lado disso hâ uma variedade de instituições responsáveis pela saúde da populaçao e as políticas de saúde- têm sido~ sempre voltadas para privatização do Setor. Todos estes aspectos sao responsabilizados pelo som brio quadro de saúde da populaçao brasileira.

A produção das desigualdades: análise da relação entre trabalho infantil e indicadores sociais

The International Labor Organization (OIT) estimates that there are around 118 million children subjected to child labor around the world. In Brazil, there are 3.5 million workers aged between 5 and 17. This exploitation practice constitutes a serious social problem, including of Public Health, since these workers are exposed to a wide range of risks, such as those related to health, physical integrity and even to life, which may cause them to become sick adults and/or interrupt their lives prematurely. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the relationship between the frequency of child labor in the age group of 10 to 13 years and some socio-economic indicators. It is a quantitative research in an ecological study whose levels of analysis are the Brazilian municipalities grouped in 161 regions, defined from socioeconomic criteria. The dependent variable of this study was the prevalence of child labor in the age group of 10 to 13 years. The independent variables were selected after a correlation between the 2010 Census of child labor in the age group of 10 to 13 years and secondary data had been conducted, adopting two main independent variables: funds from the Family Allowance Program (PBF) per 1,000 inhabitants and Funds from the Child Labor Eradication Program (PETI) per a thousand inhabitants. Initially, it was conducted a descriptive analysis of the variables of the study, then, a bivariate analysis, and the correlation matrix was built. At last, the Multiple Linear Regression stratified analysis was performed. The results of this survey indicate that public policies , like the Bolsa Familia Program Features per 1000 inhabitants and Resources Program for the Eradication of Child Labour to be allocated to municipalities with HDI < 0.697 represent a decrease in the rate of child labor ; These programs have the resources to be invested in municipalities with HDI > = 0.697 have no effect on the rate of child labor. Other adjustment variables showed significance, among these the municipal Human Development Index (IDH), years of schooling at 18 years of age, illiteracy at 15 years of age or more, employees without employment contract at 18 years of age and the Gini Index. It is understood that the child labor issue is complex. The problem is associated, although not restricted to, poverty, the social exclusion and inequality that exist in Brazil, but other factors of cultural and economic nature, as well as of organization of production, also account for its aggravation. Fighting child labor involves a wide intersectoral articulation, shared and integrated with several public policies, among them health, sports, culture, agriculture, labor and human rights, with a view to guaranteeing the integrality of the rights of children and adolescents in situation of labor and of their respective families

Avaliacao das condicoes de saude bucal dos idosos em um municipio brasileiro

This study assessed the oral health of individuals 60 years or older in the city of Araraquara, Sao Paulo, Brazil, in 1998. Of the 194 people who participated in the study, 91 of them were institutionalized and had an average age of 73.6 years, and 103 were not institutionalized and had an average age of 69.3 years. The study participants were examined by a previously trained oral surgeon who determined the prevalence of the most common oral health problems. The results revealed a large number of edentulous individuals (72% of those institutionalized and 60% of the noninstitutionalized participants) and many persons with extracted teeth (93% and 90%, respectively), as well as a high frequency of periodontal pockets (57% and 75%, respectively) and of inadequate dentures (80% and 61%, respectively).
