Programas de qualidade em hospitais

Trata-se de levantamento sobre a existência de programas e/ou atividades de qualidade nos hospitais do estado de São Paulo no segundo semestre de 1999. Foram estudados hospitais públicos, filantrópicos, não filantrópicos e universitários. Encontrou-se na amostra de 97 hospitais respondentes que 23% afirmavam ter alguma iniciativa desse teor. Os 77% que afirmavam não ter, atribuíam essa decisão aos custos dos programas, à demora na obtenção de resultados e à falta de necessidade. Muitos dos que tinham, conheciam mal os custos incorridos e outros tipos de conseqüências. Quase todos os que responderam positivamente, além disso, afirmavam monitorar indicadores gerenciais.

Viabilidade do processo de enfermagem no contexto hospitalar

The Nursing Process (NP) is considered as the dynamics of the systemized and inter-related actions of human care. We believe that the nursing manager, as the representative of all the nursing care provided in the hospital setting, is an important agent for the implementation of institutional policies, such as the NP, in the service. However, there is little information in the literature about the NP in the perspective of the nurse manager. The objective of this study was to analyze the viability of the Nursing Process in the hospital context based on the attitudes of the nurse managers toward the Process. We conducted a descriptive-exploratory research study, of quantitative approach, with a population of 45 nurse managers that worked in the state hospitals located in Natal, RN and in the university hospitals of the UFRN. Two instruments were used for the collection of data: a nursing process questionnaire, constructed for use in this study, and the scale for the measurement of the attitudes titled Positions on the Nursing Process. The population is predominantly feminine (91,0%) and have relative nursing practice experience (Mean=17,6 years). However, they have little experience in management (Mean=8,6 years). They express little knowledge of the PE nursing terms and little experience with the Process. They have a positive atitude toward the NP (Mean = 110,9); are favorable to its developement in the service (86,7%); 48,9% indicated little possibility of institutionalization in the service and 37,8% indicated large possibility. The Spearman test for association between the variables of attitude about the NP and the possibility of its institutionalization demonstrated a weak negative association in the total individual scores of the attitudes (-,316) as in the 20 itens of the instrument, with coefficients varying from 0,014 to 0,464. Factorial analysis of the instrument identified three underlying factors to the attitudes of the managers in this study: relevance, operationalization and collaboration, with Cronbach Alpha coeficients of 0,955, 0,844 and 0,807, respectively, and 0,956 for the whole instrument, indicating that the scale and its factorial subscales have internal consistency. We conclude that there is a weak tendency for the managers with a favorable attitude to have a negative perception about the possibility of institutionalization of the NP in the service. The favorable position does not appear to be sufficient for the viability of this methodology in the hospital sector, results that is worrisome for nursing. This situation suggests that the difficulties with the institution of the NP in the hospitals may be related to other factors, including the organizational conditions. We believe that the institucionalization of the NP in a servisse where it is not known and not practiced, constitutes the introduction of an innovative work technology that involves many demands, among them the adherence of the persons to the proposed innovation. This demands time and the institutional adjustments and the human resources necessary. In this process, the involvement of the health professional of the institution is necessary. This situation brings to light the discussions of professional autonomy, the action limits and perspectives, the redefinition of roles, delimiation (or consensus) of the objects of study and of the work processes, among others.

As condições de trabalho na área de saúde e o processo de adoecimento da (o) assistente social

The requirements in the world of work in the contemporary impact on quality of life, health workers in their relations with users and other professionals of the healthcare team. Given this reality, this study discusses the working conditions in health and disease process of (a) having social goals as analyze the implications of working conditions in the disease (the) social workers in state hospitals Metropolitan Region Christmas (NMR); identify the main diseases affecting social workers in hospitals in the SESAP NMR and reveal the relationship between the disease processes of social and working conditions in hospitals in the state NMR. The research was guiding questions to reveal how to configure the work, conditions of work and of the disease process (the) social worker. To grasp the socioeconomic profile of (the) social workers, the characterization of the work, duties and responsibilities in the sociooccupational, factors that interfere with the disease process of (the) social workers of RMN, and actions and investments Policy on Occupational Health RN correlating to illness today is that we set for the unveiling of the movement of the object of study through the methodological approach with documentary research aimed at literature review; extensive direct observation correlated to real life observation and application of 66 (sixty-six) questionnaires. The data from the closed questions were treated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The open questions were transcribed and then analyzed the light of theoretical work on the subject. The research reveals that social workers are subject to conditions and labor relations precarious illness causing health problems because some of these professionals, among them are: stress, allergies and skin conditions or, Read / WMSD among other diseases. Thus, we understand the need for debates about the relationship work (the) social worker and worker health before the contradictions of capital also present in public health services

Cambio para optimizar la calidad de las prestaciones del Programa Oncológico Provincial

Considerando el alto costo farmacológico de los tratamientos oncológicos actuales y de los anticuerpos monoclonales pautados para diferentes terapias que están apareciendo y que serán prácticamente lo único que se use en el futuro para diferentes diagnósticos, el Programa Oncológico Provincial cubre sin cargo alguno las necesidades de los pacientes atendidos en Hospitales Estatales, cumpliendo una función social, dispensando los medicamentos solicitados por el médico tratante, en forma confiable, segura, y con equidad para recibir el tratamiento adecuado en el momento oportuno. Los recursos que pueden ser destinados al gasto farmacéutico son limitados, por lo que es necesario racionalizar el consumo y priorizar en la asignación de estos recursos a las opciones que presentan mayores ventajas económicas, basada en mantener una mejor relación costo/beneficio, repercutiendo de manera directa en los enfermos y en la sociedad en general. En este trabajo, se analiza el sistema de adquisición de drogas oncológicas usado por el Programa Oncológico Provincial realizando una comparación entre el sistema de compras original y el adoptado por el Programa en el año 2005. Se evalúa el periodo 2001-2007, en base a diversos indicadores y datos estadísticos, para determinar si ha mejorado la calidad de las prestaciones, si ha disminuido la demanda contenida y si se ha logrado mejorar la relación costo / beneficio, controlando así el gasto sanitario global lo que constituiría una inversión rentable para el sistema de salud. Los resultados indican que el nuevo sistema adoptado por el Programa Provincial de Oncología ha mejorado la provisión de medicamentos y garantiza mayor calidad en las prestaciones, pero estos resultados pueden ser superados. También muestra la gravedad del problema de la utilización de los nuevos fármacos monoclonales.

ANTS AS POTENTIAL VECTORS OF PATHOGENS IN HOSPITALS IN THE STATE OF SAO-PAULO, BRAZIL

Baiting studies performed in large, medium and small hospitals in Brazil revealed the presence of 14 ant species, with up to nine recorded in one hospital. Dominant species were exotic ants, and in the large hospital, Tapinoma melanocephalum was the most prevalent. Ants were not uniformly spread through the hospitals, but tended to be found in the more critical areas, particularly in nursery, intensive care, obstetrics, neurology and dermatology units. Bacteriological studies using specific media for bacteria associated with intra-hospital infections indicated the potential for the mechanical vectoring of species of Staphylococcus, Serratia, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Enterobacter, Candida and Enterococcus by ants. Although T. melanocephalum did not have the highest rate of association with these bacteria, its ubiquitous occurrences resulted in the highest overall potential as a vector of these bacteria. Because of a large number of ant species occurring in Brazilian hospitals, ants pose a potential problem to the spread of diseases in hospitals. Because of the number of associated ant species in hospitals, the control of this potential problem is much more difficult than in registered temperate areas.
