Atenção à saúde da pessoa idosa na estratégia saúde da família no município de Santo Antônio/RN: um estudo de caso

According to demographic estimates, by the year 2025 Brazil will be the sixth country in the world in number of elderly. For this reason, it is a purpose of public policies to help people to reach that age being healthier. The current health care model of health surveillance through the Family Health Strategy (EFS, in portuguese) is configured as a gateway into the care of the elderly in the Unified Health System (SUS, in portuguese). It is also an area of development of practices to promote health, prevention and control of chronic nondegenerative diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze the health care of the elderly provided by ESF professionals for the achievement of a full care. The study is descriptive case study with a quantitative approach, performed in the city of Santo Antônio/RN. The population included all health professionals, who are FHS members of the city that agreed to participate of the survey, a total of 80 professionals. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, having mostly closed questions and divided into two parts: one containing sociodemographic information of health professionals and vocational training and the other, the activities carried on by the professionals in senior care, being analyzed from a database tabulated in a spreadsheet and discussed according to the descriptive statistics in tables, graphs and charts using frequencies, medians and values of central tendency. It was verified a predominance of professionals who finished highschool, mostly female, aged from 30 to 34 years old, with training completed in the last 10 years, without being graduated in the field of geriatrics or gerontology and mostly without training in gerontology. Family members and caregivers were the components of the social support network most identified by the professionals (66.3%).The elderly access to the Family Health Basic Unit was considered by83.8% of professionals as the most important factor that interferes in the activities of health care of the elderly. Considering the inclusion of the family in care: 98.8% of professionals consider the family as one of the goals of care, but 82.5% assist the family to know their role and participate in the care of the elderly, emphasizing that no professional makes use of tools for evaluating the functionality of the family. Regarding the actions taken to assist the elderly, 91.25% have home visits program to the elderly, 88.75% use the host program; 77.5% know the habits of life, cultural, ethical and religious values of the elderly, their families and their community ;51.25% complement the activities through intersectoral actions, 50%participate in groups of living with the elderly; 33.75% keeps track and maintain updated the health information of the elderly; 11.25% of the professionals perform the Single Therapy Planning (PTS, in portuguese) and few implement the actions to promote health according to PTS; there is a deficit in the number of professional categories in the identification and monitoring of the frail older people in their households. It is concluded that the health care of the elderly developed by ESF professionals differs among the professional categories. It was identified weaknesses in the promotion of an active and healthy aging and also in the establishment of an integrated and full care of the elderly. It is recommended the adoption of permanent educational activities by the City Management, initially for ESF professionals in the the perspective of the guidelines of the National Policy of Health Care for the Elderly and later to the other professionals that are part of the health care network of the elderly, at all levels of care in the city for the development of strategies and practices that promote the improvement of the quality of healthcare for the elderly, expecting concrete and effective results in terms of promoting health within Brazilian reality

Os Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas como suporte da atenção básica: uma avaliação na perspectiva da integralidade

The public dental services in Brazil were limited, practically, to the basic care, so that the specialized services acted, up to 2002, no more than 3,5% of the total of clinical procedures. That lower offer reveals the difficulty of continuity of the attention, that is, the comprehensiveness in the assistance, particulary, the reference and counter-reference system. Brasil Sorridente search to supply those needs when proposing Speciality Dental's Centers(CEOs Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas, Brazil) to compose the services of average complexity. In 2005, Ministry of Health enabled the three CEOs of Natal, located in the North II, East and West Sanitary Districts. This investigation evaluated the implantation of these CEOs, as support of the family health care teams, in the perspective of organization of the services in assistencial nets in Natal/RN. It was a study of evaluation, with qualitative approach and some quantitative data as contribution. Dentists, users and managers were interviewed to identify and to understand their perceptions, relationships and experiences in the daily of the services. The conceptual base that orientated the investigation was the principle of comprehensiveness, in its operational sense of the hierarchization in health attention levels. The collection of data was done with documental research, direct observation and semi-structured interview. The analysis was accomplished by triangulation of the extracted content from the used techniques and sources of interviewed groups depositions, looking for theoretical-conceptual support in specific bibliography. The results pointed aspects that go away from the comprehensiveness like: low resolution of problems in the basic net; little valorization of the space in the health units; traditional models of access to health services, insufficient offer for some specialties, compromising the reference and counter-reference system; practices centered in procedures in the CEO; bureaucratic directions from basic care to the specialized service; disintegrated and disjointed system among levels of attention; disrespect to the municipal protocol. On the other hand, there is an approach of compreensiveness in situations like: increase of the access and covering in the Family Health Strategy (ESF Estratégia Saúde da Família, Brazil); larger approach between professional and user; tendency to the quantitative and qualitative growth of specialized actions; punctual initiatives of relationships among levels; existence of protocol to guide professionals

Ações educativas com portadores de diabetes Mellitus através da educação popular em saúde

Popular Health Education in its emancipatory dimension refers to individuals and groups to exchange knowledge and experiences, allowing them to associate health to the outcomes of their living conditions. Under this view, health workers and health users are subjects of the educative process. Thus, this study aims to identify the key clinical and socio sanitary attributes and promote educational activities with patients with Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in a Family Health Care Unit of the Western Sanitary District, in the city of Natal / RN. It is an action research which uses the references of the Theory of Liberating Education, which is based on a problem-solving pedagogy and that values dialogue in the process of understanding oneself and the world. Thirty-six diabetics, who are residents of the area covered by the health care unit, and thirty health workers participated in the survey. Each group had an average of twelve participants, and the meetings took place at the Unit´s hall, using conversation wheels, group dynamics, life narratives, experiences telling, movie exhibition and discussions, music, knowledge telling, desires, limitations, beliefs and values socially constructed. Data collection took place during the second half of two thousand and thirteen through Free Word Association Technique (FWAT), recordings of conversation wheels, participative observation, group dynamics, testimonies, questionnaires, life narratives and photographs. The empirical material was organized and subjected to three analyzes: thematic content (Bardin), textual statistics analysis by software IRAMUTEQ (Ratinaud), and photographic analysis (Edmund Feldman). The data analyses originated words, expressions, categories, themes and creative situations showing that popular health education is in process of construction, but still very incipient in primary care. The National Policy on Popular Health Education shows us the necessary ways for the transformation of health practices and the build of a more shared and solidary society. The meetings could be place to reverse that normative logic that has been happening over the years in primary care, but that by itself is not enough. It is possible to conclude that the use of active practices, increasing of listening and training on Popular Health Education will enable changes in the scenario where users and health workers deal with diabetes mellitus. Thus we see the popular health education is being timidly incorporated to the educational process of the subjects involved in this study, and far away from the principles of participation, organization of political work, increase opportunities for dialogue, respect, solidarity and tolerance among different actors involved in addressing the health problems that are fundamental to the improvement in building healthy practices of primary care

Entre o fortalecimento e o declínio do vínculo voluntário-idoso dependente em um centro-dia

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que utiliza, como referencial teórico, o Interacionismo Simbólico e, como referencial metodológico, a Grounded Theory, visando a: compreender a experiência interacional voluntário-idoso dependente em um Centro-Dia e elaborar um modelo teórico representativo dessa experiência. A estratégia para a obtenção dos dados foi a entrevista não diretiva. Dos resultados, emergiram dois fenômenos: responsabilizando-se pela continuidade do exercício do voluntariado, junto a idosos dependentes, amparado na expectativa reparadora de ex-cuidadores familiares perante uma sociedade com consciência solidária em declínio, e assumindo o papel de voluntário. A experiência nos permitiu ampliar o conhecimento referente ao movimento que eles empreenderam na vivência denominada: entre o fortalecimento e o declínio do vínculo voluntário-idoso dependente em um centro-dia mediado por (des) motivação.

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.

A família do paciente em situação crônica de vida: a visão de enfermeiros de um hospital de ensino

This exploratory descriptive study, of qualitative nature had the purpose to study how the nurses from a hospital school see the family as care participants. Six nurses from clinics of chronically ill patients were interviewed. The data analysis allowed to infer that the nurses had only little knowledge of the family's thematic during graduation, making the relationship with the accompanying families very difficult. Daily care during hospitalization period is marked by easy moments when members are willing to participate in the process, and by difficulties when they attempt to break institutional rules. It was suggested that new nurses have theoretical foundation to attend the family in several scenarios of care. It was considered the need of investments in professional training, and that the advance of humanization of services implies in exchange and integration of knowledge among patients, family members, health professionals, support staff and managers beyond the science field.

Condições de saúde bucal de diabéticos acompanhados pelo Programa Saúde da Família em Belém - Pará

Neste estudo foram avaliadas as condições de saúde bucal de diabéticos acompanhados pelo Programa Saúde da Família no município de Belém-Pará. As condições analisadas foram: cárie dentária, doença periodontal, uso e necessidade de prótese dentária e lesões de mucosa. A amostra foi composta de 268 diabéticos e 270 indivíduos não diabéticos compondo o grupo controle. Para a coleta dos dados, foram utilizados os índices recomendados pela Organização Mundial de Saúde. Os exames foram realizados nos domicílios dos indivíduos selecionados por examinadores previamente calibrados. Os dados foram processados no Programa de computação Epi info versão 3.3.2 para o Sistema Operacional Windows e estatisticamente analisados. Os resultados demonstraram que: não houve diferença na prevalência de cárie. O CPOD foi igual a 25,7 e 25,4 para diabéticos e grupo controle, respectivamente, com uma grande perda dentária para ambos os grupos. A presença de cálculo foi verificada em 10,6% dos diabéticos e em 13,6% do grupo controle com a prevalência de bolsa periodontal mais evidente em diabéticos (p<0,05). Aproximadamente metade da amostra necessitava de prótese superior e cerca de 78% dos examinados necessitavam de prótese inferior, não diferindo entre os grupos (p > 0,05). A ocorrência de lesões de mucosa bucal, como estomatites e lesões hiperplásicas, em ambos os grupos, foi relacionada ao uso de prótese dentária inadequada. Os dados encontrados demonstram prevalência significante em todas as condições estudadas em ambos os grupos, mas só a doença periodontal teve relação estatisticamente significante com a condição de Diabetes Mellitus.

As representações imaginárias do médico de família acerca de sua prática profissional

O presente trabalho objetivou compreender as representações imaginárias dos médicos de família que atuam no Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) no município de Belém, no Distrito Administrativo do Mosqueiro, acerca de sua atuação profissional. De natureza metodológica qualitativa, visou a análise e significação dos discursos dos sujeitos, que se constituíram por médicos de família participantes das equipes do Programa de Saúde da Família que atuavam nas Unidades de Saúde da Família do município de Belém, mais especificamente no Distrito Administrativo do Mosqueiro (DAMOS). Utilizou-se entrevistas semi-estruturadas, que contaram com o auxílio de um roteiro norteador. A análise dos dados se realizou através de análise do discurso dos participantes, onde os assuntos coincidentes existentes nos relatos de todos os sujeitos entrevistados foram agrupados em núcleos temáticos, sempre relacionados com o objetivo da pesquisa, analisando os consensos e as diferenças a respeito de cada tema. Na análise dos dados, pôde-se perceber que para esses profissionais o Programa de Saúde da Família representa um lugar de passagem ou um laboratório para os que estão iniciando na Medicina, garantindo-lhes uma possibilidade de aquisição de conhecimento e experiências, enquanto não ingressam em uma especialidade, que não a Medicina de Família.

Fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de crianças atendidas em Unidades de Saúde da Família, ao final do primeiro ano de vida: aspectos sociodemográficos e de saúde mental materna

The scope of this article is to evaluate risk and protection factors for the development of 1-year-olds assisted at family health care units. It is a cross-sectional study involving 65 children of approximately 1 year of age and their mothers attended at two family health care units. The development was assessed using a developmental screening test (Denver II). The mothers filled out the SRQ-20 questionnaire to identify common mental disorder (CMD) indicators. After data collection, descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was performed. Global development was at risk in 43.1% of the children evaluated, and the most affected areas were language and fine motor development; 44.6% of mothers had results indicative of CMD when the child was 1 year of age. In bivariate analysis, reported depression, smoking, infections in pregnancy, CMD after birth and working outside the home were significantly associated with the children's development. After full statistical analysis, CMD was revealed as being a risk factor, and working away from home as being a protection factor. In order to increase the chances of success of programs targeted for children at health care units and avoiding the risk of impaired development, it is important to focus on two aspects: children's stimulation and maternal mental health.

O relacionamento fraterno na presença da deficiência

This research was developed during four years, in different regions of the country. Its purpose was to better understand the possible influences that handicapped siblings have on the development of non- handicapped siblings. Participated in the study 80 siblings, with ages ranging between 14 and 26 years. There were 20 siblings of physical handicapped (PH), 20 siblings of auditory handicapped (AH), 20 of mental handicapped (MH), and 20 of non handicapped, in number and ages equivalent.The participants answered a questionnaire containing “characteristics of handicapped person”, “characteristics of respondent sibling”, “characteristics of family”, a questionnaire with eleven closed questions and one open, but for the control group there was on less question. The phenomena studied in this research in some situations present themselves differently for each group of respondent sibling (ex: greater concern of the parents with the MH sibling, calling attention more for siblings of PH and MH, more responsibility in the family, taking care of the handicapped sibling, fear of having handicapped children, and the perception of (in) dependency of the handicapped sibling) and in others present themselves in similar manner (ex: more concern of the parents with the brother with PH, nature of the relationship, to feel or not ashamed of the sibling, talking about the sibling development). In conclusion, some phenomena, so far socially perceived as causing differences in sibling relations and attributed to de presence of a handicap are not, since between siblings of non handicapped these same phenomena present themselves in a similar way. Differently from the control group, siblings of handicapped need correct information, as well as therapeutic support to elaborate feelings of fear, anger, shame that they may have due to their condition. It is important to stress, also, the need that these siblings have to be themselves without the stigma of sibling of handicapped.
