Acesso e utilização dos serviços na Estratégia Saúde da Família na perspectiva dos gestores, profissionais e usuários

Abstract: Questionnaires adapted to the Brazilian reality (Primary Care Assessment Tool) to evaluate access to and use of services were distributed to 30 managers, 80 professionals and a random sample of 882 Family Health Strategy (FHS) users in Sao Luis in the state of Maranhao. The differences between the evaluations of managers, professionals and users were identified by the Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's post test. Users faced difficulties in access to and use of the services, which were also considered unsatisfactory by managers and professionals. Access was the dimension with the worst evaluation, and non-functioning of units after 6 p.m. and at weekends were the main difficulties. The evaluations of the managers and professionals were almost always divergent from those of the users, with the evaluation of the managers being more favorable. The fact that the service was free of charge, the use of preventive services and the FHS services before the specialized care were well evaluated. The operation of units should attend users' needs, especially that of the working population. Strengthening social participation in local management of the FHS may assist in identifying these needs, thereby reducing the divergent opinions of the players involved.

Health educational praxis of the male nurses of the Family Health Strategy

Abstract: This study has a qualitative character and aims to analyze the educational praxis of male nurses of the Family Health Strategy in the city of Sobral, Ceara, Brazil. The data was collected using semi-structured interviews applied to 16 male nurses, besides the observation of this group. All data was organized using the collective subject discourse technique. The dialectic hermeneutic was adopted as a theoretical-methodological referential. We conclude that, in a hegemonic way, the educational processes in health are graded in a behaviorist approach, eminently preventive, in which strategies and resources favor the unidirectionality and non-dialogical of the process. In spite of that, we identified a critical-reflexive movement among male nurses, in the sense of questioning the way of how the educational processes are developed. Anti-hegemonic actions were also evidenced, like the use of educational methods graded in the community's needs and real problems, in which the subjects of approach are built in a horizontal way and in partnership with the community. Thus, the findings of this study show a tension between two educational models: the traditional and the dialogical.

Metodologia da pesquisa científica

Abstract: A Metodologia Cientifica, mais do que uma disciplina, que em principio desperta a ideia de uma linha puramente teorica, deve ser encarada como um conjunto de procedimentos sistematicos e racionais, base da formacao tanto do estudioso quanto do profissional. Ambos atuam, alem da pratica, no mundo das ideias, ou seja, suas linhas basicas caminham pelo campo teorico, porem, o acumulo do conhecimento cientifico teorico, permite a sua aplicacao pratica no desenvolvimento tecnologico, alem de sua utilizacao nas atividades profissionais. Pode-se afirmar que a pratica nasce da concepcao sobre o que deve ser realizado e qualquer tomada de decisao fundamenta-se naquilo que se afigura como o mais logico, racional, eficiente e eficaz. Desta forma, deve-se encarar a Pesquisa Cientifica e o Metodo Cientifico, que fornece os subsidios para a sua realizacao, como fundamentais para o modelo de sociedade que estamos inseridos. Os alunos devem compreender a Metodologia da Pesquisa Cientifica como um instrumento que deve auxilia a humanidade a encontrar as respostas para os problemas que surgem em nossa vida cotidiana, alem da sua importância para a elaboracao do Trabalho Cientifico, que deve ser apresentado ao final do curso de Pos-Graduacao. Para atingir este objetivo, os alunos deverao produzir um resumo cientifico.

Abstract: JESUS, L.C. Religious and spiritual coping among nursing professionals who work in emergency units. 2011. 83p. Dissertation (MA) – Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing, University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2011. Researches published in the area of spiritual/religious coping (SRC) still not addressed this issue related to nursing professionals who are submitted to different stress factors arising not only from their work practice, but also from their everyday life outside the workplace. This study aimed to verify if nursing staff (assistants, technicians and nurses) uses the spiritual/religious coping to deal with the stress factors experienced both at work and in private life. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative study in which all nurses of the Emergency Unit of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto Medical School were invited to participate, obtaining a sample of 126 participants who were given an envelope containing a free consent form, the General Questionnaire, and the Spiritual Religious Coping Scale (SRCOPE Scale), which were completely filled out by the participants out of the workplace and then returned to the researcher. The results showed that the SRC average was 3.66, the positive SRC average was 3.11, the negative SRC average was 1.78, and that women make more use of positive spiritual/religious coping than men. Regarding the situation of stress mentioned by the participants, it was found that the majority reported having experienced a stressful situation in the family setting (61.1%); 25.4% reported having experienced a stressful situation in the workplace; 2.4% reported having experienced stressful situations in both environments; and 10.3% reported not having experienced any stressful situation during the period of the study. Only 0.8% of the participants did not answer the questions. The results obtained through the index of the SRC Scale were expected in view of the religiosity of the Brazilian people, especially the religiosity of Brazilian women, however, it was not seen the impact of the use of spiritual/religious coping for the health of this professional category, which warrants further studies, particularly with respect to the impact of the use of negative dimension of the SRC, which, although it was rarely used by the participants in this study, it is an important information that can affect the health of those who make its use, leaving it to future researchers in this area also investigate possible ways to work to achieve the promotion of the spiritual dimension of nursing professionals.
