Avaliação da atenção à saúde da criança no contexto da Saúde da Família no município de Teixeiras, Minas Gerais (MG, Brasil)

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a atenção à saúde da criança pelo Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF) do município de Teixeiras, MG, Brasil. Foi aplicado um questionário a 161 mães de crianças menores de dois anos. Utilizou-se um sistema de escores específicos para análise das dimensões de estrutura, processo e resultado e seus respectivos atributos, classificando o município nos cenários incipiente, intermediário e avançado. Configurou-se, na síntese, um cenário intermediário (49,6%) para o PSF, caracterizado por uma atenção à saúde da criança fragmentada, mas com avanços na organização da atenção para este grupo. Foram consideradas incipientes as instalações físicas, a qualidade do cuidado no controle da diarréia e das infecções respiratórias, a participação comunitária e a intersetorialidade. Os avanços estiveram relacionados ao acolhimento realizado pelo programa, no entanto, as atividades preventivas e promocionais do PSF demonstram que o programa surge como um suporte do hospital e mais um local de atendimento médico. A atuação do PSF na atenção a saúde das crianças distancia-se da proposta de reorientação do modelo assistencial hegemônico, pela qual foi criado, dificultando estratégias na prevenção de doenças e na promoção da saúde.

A objetivação da saúde da criança pelo UNICEF: problematizando tecnologias de biopoder na Amazônia

Este estudo busca problematizar a concepção de saúde da criança veiculada pelo UNICEF, analisando especificamente os regimes de verdade e práticas de poder que são operados por esta agência acerca das condições de saúde em que vivem as crianças na Amazônia. Para tanto é realizada uma pesquisa documental que tem como fonte de análise o relatório “Ser Criança na Amazônia”: uma análise das condições de desenvolvimento infantil na região norte do Brasil, publicado pelo UNICEF em 2004. Como ferramentas de análise são utilizadas a história-genealógica de Foucault e sua analítica do poder, especialmente em relação ao biopoder. No contexto das políticas da ONU a performance do UNICEF no cuidado da infância é compreendida como parte de uma governamentalidade liberal que atua na promoção do progresso social e desenvolvimento econômico dos países, em prol da segurança. Neste sentido, esta pesquisa procura dar visibilidade ao modo como as práticas do UNICEF são articuladas às práticas vizinhas e engendram um dispositivo de governo que opera através de estratégias disciplinares e biopolíticas no controle da população da Amazônia, em função da gestão de riscos. De acordo com as análises do UNICEF, a saúde da criança é compreendida como efeito de determinadas condições sociais e econômicas consideradas fundamentais para sua sobrevivência e bem-estar. A falta de infraestrutura social e as precárias condições de existência são apontadas como fatores que podem gerar doenças e prejuízos ao desenvolvimento das crianças. Além disso, o relatório enfatiza o papel da mulher enquanto mãe, colocando-a como principal responsável pela sobrevivência e educação dos filhos, e a importância do desempenho da família para a garantia do pleno desenvolvimento infantil. Observa-se como as noções de saúde e infância, compreendidas respectivamente como um campo multideterminado e uma etapa da vida que precisa ser protegida e controlada, são utilizadas pelo UNICEF no governo das populações pobres da região, capturadas em discursos higiênicos que desqualificam as famílias em função de suas condições de sobrevivência e de suas práticas de cuidado em relação às crianças. Estes discursos produzem a demanda por uma rede infinda de proteções para as famílias que promovem a saúde e asseguram a vida, mas implicam em controles que põem em xeque sua autonomia.

The conceptualizations concerning Children’s Health Surveillance that were apprehended showed to be convergent as they indicated this model’s appropriateness to identify and prioritize children’s care in vulnerability conditions in the territory where they live. However, some managers did not include, in their statements, health promotion aspects as one of the cornerstones of their managerial action. Nurses were considered to be fundamental in the Children’s Health Surveillance process due to their competencies and responsibilities undertaken in this health provision level. The main difficulties for adequate implementation of Children’s Health Surveillance in Primary Health Care and the proposal to overcome them were pointed out. It was concluded that, under the managers’ perspectives, nurses can greatly contribute to Children’s Health Surveillance in Primary Health Care as members of the health care team; however, to that end, they need professional qualification, structural conditions and institutional support with that regard

Seguimento da saúde da criança e a longitudinalidade do cuidado

Estudo reflexivo com o objetivo de apresentar, na perspectiva da hermenêutica filosófica, elementos relevantes para o seguimento da saúde da criança em atenção primária à saúde. A assistência à saúde da criança tem como eixo norteador o processo de crescimento e desenvolvimento na infância, sendo fundamental conhecer as escolhas e tomadas de decisão das famílias, estimular a produção de narrativas, fortalecer virtudes e experiências cotidianas, contribuindo para enriquecer o cuidado e apreendê-lo numa perspectiva integradora, contingencial, longitudinal e suficientemente boa. O seguimento da criança pode ser tomado como uma tecnologia de cuidado em saúde que não pressupõe um saber a priori, mas remete a uma reconstrução de saberes e práticas com novas dimensões para a produção de cuidados.

Impacto do Programa Saúde da Família sobre indicadores de saúde da criança em municípios de grande porte da região Nordeste do Brasil

The present study carried out in the context of the Baseline Studies of the PROESF was aimed at evaluating the impact of the Family Health Program (PSF) on indicators for child health in cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants in the Brazilian Northeast. Four cities were investigated. In each one, twenty censual sectors were selected randomly from areas covered by the PSF and compared with twenty sectors selected from areas not covered by the PSF on the basis of socioeconomic criteria. In most cases, no significant differences were found between the areas covered and not covered by the PSF. The only difference found was a significantly lower rate of hospital admissions due to diarrhea but this was on account of the Program of Community Health Agents. The PSF exerted no additional effect on the reduction of this indicator. It was also observed that the way by which the program is implemented in each city interferes directly in the results. Thus, there is no basis for considering the PSF per se ineffective or not differing from other programs with regard to its health care patterns. An evaluation of the PSF would necessarily have to include an analysis of the way the program is implemented and conducted in each case, besides considering its general socioeconomical and political characteristics.

In a general way mothers considers the attendance received in the hospital good and very good , opnions that in the Basic Attention weren t so favorable, in spite of many of predictible actions in this level have been performed in the studied cases.
