Abstract: This study focuses on users' views of factors influencing quality of care at a health care unit in the city of Porto Alegre, relating to access and receptivity. The data were collected using a semi-structured interview and participatory observation and treated using thematic analysis. The results compare ease and difficulties in geographic, economic, and functional access. Orga- nization of services and professional competency were determinant factors in ease of reception, leading to user satisfaction. Poor reception and unsatisfactory professional performance were identified as difficulties. The study concluded that there is a need to increase the professional staff, train them in receiving users, implement a complementary modality for dental care, open the facility earlier for scheduling appointments, and prioritize care for residents of the catch- ment area.

Abstract: Health humanization is one of the major politics ofthe health sector, currently being implemented in ourcountry. The authors relate humanization with healthpromotion. Promoting health and humanizing healthcare are long term and continuous efforts, which aredynamic and closely related with the context in whichthey are brought in. The diagnosis is critical for theproposition of actions and for adequate interventions,while monitoring and evaluating these interventionscan guarantee the actions support. As the actions andactivities involved are much complex, diagnosing,monitoring and evaluating must be approached in anamplified way that includes the process’s “reasons”and “means”. In order to achieve that, the article high-lights the utility of multiple methods (quantitativeand qualitative), focusing on the qualitative approach.Some considerations concerning this research metho-dology are presented, including “sampling” strategies,the most used techniques (interview, focal group andobservation) and material analysis. In that way, theauthors intend to contribute to administrators’ andhealth professionals’ improvement in situation diag-noses (which aid decisions on future strategies) aswell as in accompanying and evaluating the imple-mented actions in order to bring about adequatemodifications.Key Words: Health Humanization; Health Promotion;Qualitative Research; Program Monitoring; PoliticsEvaluation; Situation Diagnosis.
