Condições de trabalho das equipes de saúde bucal no Programa Saúde da Família: o caso do Distrito Sanitário Norte em Natal, RN

Este artigo verifica as condições de trabalho dos dentistas nas equipes de saúde bucal (ESBs) inseridas no Programa Saúde da Família (PSF). O universo da pesquisa foi composto por todos os dentistas lotados nas unidades básicas de saúde (UBSs). Foram aplicados questionários para identificar as características operacionais de funcionamento, o ambiente físico, a disponibilidade de equipamentos e insumos, a autonomia, o poder de decisão e a integração com as equipes do PSF. Os resultados apontam que vários aspectos são identificados pelos dentistas como limitação ao trabalho, tais como: local de trabalho com estrutura física inadequada, disponibilidade de equipamento, instrumental e material inadequados à realização das ações previstas, a ausência de articulação da referência e contrarreferência para que as necessidades de maior complexidade sejam atendidas, bem como a baixa capacitação dos profissionais para o trabalho em equipe. Apesar das dificuldades, há uma compreensão de que a inclusão das ações de saúde bucal no PSF do Distrito Sanitário Norte trouxe a incorporação de novos valores às práticas exercidas, abrindo a possibilidade para que haja uma verdadeira substituição das práticas tradicionais exercidas e um novo jeito de se fazer saúde.

Proposta de reorganização da atenção em saúde bucal prestada ao idoso, nas equipes de saúde bucal do município de Conselheiro Lafaiete (MG)

Este estudo teve o objetivo de discutir a situação atual da atenção em saúde bucal ofertada aos indivíduos com 60 anos ou mais pelas Equipes de Saúde Bucal (ESB) implantadas na Estratégia Saúde da Família no município de Conselheiro Lafaiete e elaborar uma proposta de reorganização do atual modelo, com a finalidade de promover melhorias na saúde e o bem-estar dos idosos. O levantamento de necessidades em saúde bucal dos idosos nas ESB implantadas, em relação ao Índice CPOD, Índice Periodontal Comunitário, lesões de mucosa e necessidades de próteses dentárias, proposto numa das atividades do Módulo de Saúde Bucal - Atenção ao Idoso do Curso de Especialização em Atenção Básica em Saúde da Família, teve como objetivo não só conhecer as necessidades da atenção odontológica dos pacientes idosos, como proporcionar subsídios às equipes para a construção de um planejamento visando à melhoria da qualidade de vida destes pacientes cadastrados. Os resultados mostraram que a média de idade da amostra pesquisada foi de 69 anos num grupo de 60 idosos. Os valores do índice CPOD encontrados, foram considerados muito altos com a média de 30,17, sendo o componente P - perdido (dente perdido devido à cárie), o que mais contribuiu para este resultado. Apenas 103 elementos dentários estavam presentes na cavidade bucal dos 60 pacientes examinados, o que corresponde uma média de 1,7 dentes por indivíduo. Destaca-se também que a média de dentes perdidos é de 94,6% no grupo examinado. Dos elementos dentários presentes foram encontrados 04 dentes com lesões de cárie e 39 dentes com indicação para exodontia devido à doença periodontal. Quanto à necessidade do uso de próteses dentárias, 29 idosos edêntulos necessitam de prótese total superior e 23 de prótese total inferior. Em 20 pacientes foi registrada a presença de 22 lesões nas mucosas, sendo o palato a região mais freqüente e a mácula a lesão mais encontrada. Pode-se concluir que a condição de saúde bucal dos idosos cadastrados nas respectivas áreas de abrangências das ESB implantadas é insatisfatória sendo, portanto necessária a implantação de uma política de saúde que reorganize a atual atenção prestada.

Impacto da estratégia saúde da família com equipe de saúde bucal sobre indicadores de saúde bucal: análise em municípios do nordeste com mais de 100 mil habitantes

This study examined in municipalities of Northeast of Brazil with more than one hundred thousand people who incorporation of Oral Health Teams (OHT) into the Family Health Strategy (FHE) the possible impact on oral health indicators. Sought to answer whether implementation OHT brought the best indicators of health problems and coverage, compared to areas without coverage by the FHE through a community trial in parallel, quasi-randomized. In each of the municipalities surveyed were 20 census tracts, 10 were located in areas covered by oral health teams in the ESF and 10 industries in areas not covered. The final sample consisted of 59.221 individuals. We compared oral health indicators related to health problems, access to services and coverage of oral health actions. The analysis strategy was based on the calculation of prevalence ratios and confidence intervals, adjusted for confounding factors through Poisson regression with robust variance. It also has measured the association between an indicator of social inequality for comparison between areas. The best results are associated with indicators of access and coverage of oral health actions at the expense of the indicators of health problems, suggesting a possible maintenance of a traditional model of practice yet. The results also suggest a possible effect of a specific policy in the area of primary care on inequality in access. From the discussions presented throughout this work, we can see that the impact analysis of public policy, obtained by comparing areas with and without the intervention, not only captures the effect on the target population, but other dimensions of organization service and therefore should be understood as one of the analytical possibilities related to the management

A incorporação da saúde bucal no programa saúde da família do Rio Grande do Norte: investigando a possibilidade de conversão do modelo assistencial

The Health Family Program (HFP) was founded in the 1990s with the objective of changing the health care model through a restructuring of primary care. Oral health was officially incorporated into HFP mainly through the efforts of dental professionals, and was seen as a way to break from oral health care models based on curative, technical biological and inequity methods. Despite the fast expansion of HFP oral health teams, it is essential to ask if changes are really occurring in the oral health model of municipalities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the incorporation of oral health teams into the Health Family Program by analyzing the factors that may interfere positively or negatively in the implementation of this strategy and consequently in the process of changing oral health care models in the National Health System in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. This evaluation involves three dimensions: access, work organization and strategies of planning. For this purpose,19 municipalities, geographically distributed according to Regional Public Health Units (RPHU), were randomly selected. The data collection instruments used were: structured interview of supervisors and dentists, structured observation, documental research and data from national health data banks. It was possible to identify critical points that may be impeding the implementation of oral health into HFP, such as, low incomes, no legal employment contract, difficulty in referring patients for high-complexity procedures, in developing intersectoral actions and program strategies such as epidemiologic diagnosis and evaluation of the new actions. The majority of municipalities showed little or no improvement in oral health care after incorporating the new model into HFP. All of them had failures in most of the aspects mentioned above. Furthermore, these municipalities are similar in other areas, such as low educational levels in children from 7 to 14 years of age, high child mortality rates and wide social inequalities. On the other hand, the five municipalities that had improved oral health, according to the categories analyzed, offered better living conditions to the population, with higher life expectancy, low infant mortality rates, per capita income among the highest in the state as well as high Human Development Index (HDI) means. Therefore, it is possible to conclude that public policies that include aspects beyond the health sector are decisive for a real change in health care models

Avaliação longitudinal do impacto da saúde bucal na estratégia saúde da família em Natal

As a result of the financial incentive provided by the GM / MS 1.444, since 2000, Brazil has experienced a substantial increase in the number of oral health services at the Family Health Strategy. There is, however, evidence that these teams have produced qualitatively different experiences which do not translate necessarily into improved quality of life and health. Thus, evaluative research of great importance. This study aims to assess the impact of the Family Health Strategy in oral health in a longitudinal perspective natalense the years 2006 and 2009. This is an intervention study whose design is a community trial in parallel, nearly randomized. The sample consisted of census tracts covered by oral health teams in the Family Health and the Traditional Model (Basic Health Units and non-FHS Program of Community Health Agents and areas not covered.) The sample was determined by drawing ten census tracts to form the experimental group and ten other sectors for the control group by pairing intentional based on socio-economic and geographic. To check the net effect of the intervention was performed multivariate analysis by Poisson regression. As a result of cross-sectional analysis of year 2009, it was found that the effects of the ESF in Natal were satisfactory only for the variables of injuries and for other purposes without and with negative impact on stock coverage reclaimers. However, the longitudinal analysis revealed that the ESB / ESF improved their performance in dealing with grievances, access and coverage of the type of actions and this fact is independent of age, sex and social and economic conditions. In other employees' words are related to the presence of the Family Health Strategy in the region. However it does not say that both models under study (the Family Health Strategy Model and Traditional) are different in terms of performance and it is pertinent to reflect on the need for further development of evaluation studies that use other approaches able to clarify the dynamics of the process whose results can come to the knowledge of the actors responsible for leading the ESF and encourage them to incorporate the assessment in their routine
