Full textA Cultura Organizacional (CO) determina diversas dimensões da instituição, desde o comportamento dos trabalhadores, dos gestores e da própria instituição, até as estratégias, objetivos, relações de trabalho, organização do trabalho e o método de gestão adotado. Está relacionado com inúmeras variáveis, como o prazer e sofrimento no trabalho, satisfação e motivação, saúde e qualidade de vida no trabalho. Neste contexto o estudo da CO é primordial, uma vez que esta exerce influência sobre diversos aspetos que vão desde o comportamento de seus profissionais e gestores até ao desempenho organizacional. O objetivo desta investigação é conhecer a perceção dos enfermeiros acerca da CO do hospital onde exercem as suas funções. É um estudo descritivo, analítico e transversal, com uma abordagem quantitativa, numa população representada por 45 enfermeiros de um Hospital Privado do norte do país. O instrumento de colheita de dados foi o questionário FOCUS (First Organizational Culture Unified Search), validado e adaptado à população portuguesa por Neves (2000). Os dados foram tratados recorrendo a estatística descritiva e apresentados sobre a forma de tabelas. Os resultados obtidos para além de caracterizar a população sociodemográfica, permitiu verificar que os enfermeiros têm mais perceção pela Cultura Regras e a Cultura Apoio, enquanto a Cultura Objetivos e a Cultura Inovação é a menos percecionada. Os resultados permitem-nos concluir a necessidade de uma maior atenção institucional para os domínios críticos (Cultura Inovação e Objetivos) objetivando-se a necessidade de implementação de medidas que contribuam para a satisfação, motivação, saúde e qualidade de vida dos enfermeiros no seu local de trabalho.
The Organizational Culture (OC) determines several dimensions of the institution, from the behavior of the workers, managers and the institution itself, to the strategies, objectives, work relationships, work organization and the management method adopted. It is related to numerous variables, such as pleasure and suffering at work; satisfaction and motivation; quality of life at work. In this context, the study of OC is essential, as it influences in several aspects such as the behavior of the professionals and managers to organizational performance. The objective of this investigation is to know the nurses perception about OC at the hospital where they perform their functions. It is a descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, in a population represented by 45 nurses from a Private Hospital in the north of the country. The data collection instrument was the FOCUS (First Organizational Culture Unified Search) questionnaire, validated and adapted to the Portuguese population by Neves (2000). Data were treated using descriptive statistics and presented in the form of tables. The results obtained, in addition to characterizing the sociodemographic population, allowed us to verify that nurses have a greater perception of the Rules Culture and the Support Culture, while the Objectives Culture and the Innovation Culture is the least perceived. The results allow us to conclude the need for greater institutional attention to the critical domains (Culture, Innovation and Objectives) and the institution should implement measures that contribute to nurses satisfaction, motivation, health and quality of life in their workplace.

Full textINDLEDNING. Afhandlingen omhandler fødselen og dets betydning i det grønlandske samfund, idet der anlægges et holistisk sundhedsfremmende syn på den perinatale periode og der fokuseres på vigtigheden af kvinder, børn, deres familier og lokalsamfundet som ligeværdige dele af helheden. MÅL. Målet med afhandlingen er, at præsentere nye begreber og viden om sundheden om den perinatale familie i Grønland. Der ses holistisk på fødested og dens indflydelse på familiestøtte i den perinatale periode. Afhandlingen tilstræber at præsentere den perinatale familie og dens placering i det grønlandske samfund. Den forbinder ændringerne i sundhedspolitikken med begreberne familie, holdninger og samfundsstruktur. Den bygger på statistisk, historisk, medicinsk-antropologisk og kulturel data inden for rammerne af den perinatale sundhed i Grønland. METODER OG MATERIALER. Afhandlingen indeholder fire studier som benytter sig af tværfaglige metoder. Der er i en otteårig periode fra 2003 til 2011 gennemført fokusgrupper og individuelle interviews, ligesom der er gennemført to litteraturstudier i samme periode. Det empiriske data er indsamlet fire steder i Grønland: Nuuk, Ilulissat, Sisimiut og Tasiilaq. Syv fokusgrupper med i alt 35 deltagere, er suppleret med 18 individuelle interview med kvinder, fædre og Kulturbærer. De anvendte metoder til gennemførsel af afhandlingens interviews og fokusgrupper er i overensstemmelse med Helsinki-Erklæringen RESULTATER. For de perinatale familier er begrebet sikkerhed ofte knyttet direkte til familie og samfund. Familien opfattes som sikkerhed, og manglende mulighed for familie støtte og netværk opfattes omvendt som usikkerhed. Begrebet ansvar er for familien og samfundet kulturelt specifikt og er knyttet til den nærmeste familie, udvidede familie og slægtninge. Der findes et ‘kulturelt rum’ for fødsel i Grønland, hvor den perinatale families evne til at styrke båndene indenfor familien, slægtskabet og det lokale netværk er medvirkende til familiens sundhed. Lokalsamfundene, familierne og kvinderne i studierne opfatter sig selv som bærer af deres børn, fædrene opfatter sig som støtteskabende omsorgsgiverer for deres familie, og lokalsamfundet, herunder den udvidede familie, opfatter sig som et vigtigt støttenetværk for familierne. KONKLUSION. Det er vigtigt at forstå det sammenhæng, der eksisterer mellem traditionelle og kulturelle egenskaber og barnets sundhed i familien. Disse er elementer af de øko-kulturelle stier, der allerede er integreret i familiens samspil og kan være måder hvorved familiens samspil og dens sundhed styrkes. Familierne og samfundet støtter disse traditioner og i en sund øko-kulturudveksling styrker det barnets rolle som sundhedsfremmende agent inden for familien. Grønlandsk folkesundhed, sundhedsfremmende programmer og de nationale perinatale retningslinjer har et fysisk sundhedsfokus, men der tages ikke højde for de mentale, sociale og åndelige dimensioner indenfor perinatal sundhed. Denne opsplittede måde at opfatte og gennemføre sundhed på, understøtter ikke det relationelle verdenssyn der udgør en integrerende del af kulturen i Grønland, hvofor mange familier kæmper for at udøve selvbestemmelse inden for systeme

Full textThis research seeks to explore how the management of internal communication, in private health centers in Peru, is used as a tool to disseminate an organizational culture based on the most recent concept of health promotion proposed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The model used to identify the management of internal communication, which contributes to a culture of health promotion, is based on Andrade's "five ies", which was subsequently adapted to Bustamante's "six ies" and to which the leadership style subcategory has been added for this investigation. For this, the Doktuz Medical Center was taken as a case study where a qualitative phenomenological methodology was applied. As a result, it was obtained that the Medical Center does not have an organizational culture based on the promotion of institutionalized health, since its preventive health philosophy of easy access to the community has led it to manage internal communication only from an occupational health approach and Corporate Social Responsibility (RSC).

Full textThe overall aim of the study is to describe and analyse how the Finns experience of the sauna affects their quality of life. The study question is how Finns experience the culturally significant sauna bathing affect their health with emphasize on quality of life. The Finnish population is approx. 5,1 million inhabitants and there are more than 2 million saunas (Statistikcentralen 2004). The Finns take a sauna on average 1-2 times a week. (Nyholm, unpublihshed material) Sauna has always been a part of the Finnish way of life. Traditionally it belongs to the Finnish culture and is a dearly loved source of national pride. Traditionally the sauna has been used for health, capacity for work and hygiene. (Tähkä et al. 1970). The method used is The long interview (McCracken 1988). The method can be described in four steps: Review of Analytic Categories, Review of Cultural Categories, Discovery of Cultural Categories and Discovery of Analytic Categories. This method allows investigators to exploit familiarity with their own culture so that they may design better questions, listen more skilfully and analyze data with greater sensitivity. A synthesis of the theoretical perspective, review of the literature and the interviews can be summarised by the following statements: Sauna is part of the Finnish way of life. Most Finns use the sauna as preventive, promotive and as a cure for different ailments. The sauna has a positive effect on physical, psychological and social health and therefore on the quality of life. The sauna is a cultural experience. Taking a sauna can be a way of experiencing nature. The rituals around sauna give a feeling of security.

Full textBackground: In Sweden, it is estimated that nearly 38,000 girls and women have been exposed to some type of female genital mutilation. Of those, 7000 are believed to be girls under 18 years of age. The proportion of girls in risk zone is unclear. Previous research shows that girls at risk are those whose mothers are genital mutilated and how the family´s attitude to the tradition. Significance for ending in a risk zone depends on how long they lived in Sweden as well as integration. Child health care staff have an important role to promote health on equal terms by identifying and initiating early action on problems in children´s health, development and growth environment. The interaction between child health care and social services in expanded home visit programs means a way of providing increased resources. It is a way of working based on trust between personal and parents. Increased parental support and shorter ways to assist in social services. The staff in the child health care who will start this model should be able to feel conscious and confident that they can meet families with girls at risk of genital mutilation. Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the attitude of the child health care staff in the work of girls at risk of genital mutilation. Method: A qualitative interview study with eight participants in child health care was done. The selection was strategic and the interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed by a qualitative content analysis. Results: The analysis resulted in the theme unequal treatment and shows that the child health care personnel treats girls at risk of genital mutilation differently. There are differences in the approach of responding to girls at risk of genital mutilation and also how child health care personnel handle there are girls at risk of genital mutilation. The participants had developed different strategies or no strategies at all to handle the issue. Conclusion: The results show different approaches to the work of girls at risk of genital mutilation in child health care and it reinforces the picture of the importance of a more equal child health care in socio-economically vulnerable areas. Good cooperation means sustainability in the short and long term.

Full textThe exploratory case we aimed to analyze the communication process used by the professional of the Family Health Strategy, the Health Unit Maruípe, in Vitória, capital of Espírito Santo. As a sample, we chose Maruípe region, which has the largest population of the capital, according to data from IBGE/2000 and that the strategy reaches the entire population. Data collection was performed by structured questionnaires with open questions, closed and semi-open to members of two Family Health teams who voluntarily decides to participate. We applied two different types of questionnaires: one to eight Community Health Workers and other staff members to thirteen. Data Were quantified and qualitatively analyzed in order to reflect on the importance of communication in promotional and preventive health, and their relationship with the local primary care and reducing the numbers od admissions to hospitals for underlying causes. Based on critical theory, theory of communicative action, Habermas and the recent Latin American studies on the importance of communicative action as an input in health, we analyze the communication tools used by the team and how that communication is established in order to draw a protocol suggestions to minimize the communication problems in the development of actions.
O estudo exploratório de caso que teve como objetivo analisar o processo de comunicação utilizado pelos profissionais da Estratégia de Saúde da Família, na Unidade de Saúde de Maruípe, no município de Vitória, capital do Espírito Santo. Como amostra, escolhemos a Região de Maruípe, que possui o maior número de habitantes da capital, segundo dados do IBGE/2000 e em que a estratégia atinge toda a população. A coleta de dados se realizou pela aplicação de questionários estruturados com perguntas abertas, semiabertas e fechadas aos integrantes de duas equipes de Saúde da Família que, voluntariamente, decidiram participar da pesquisa. Foram aplicados dois tipos diferentes de questionários: um para oito Agentes Comunitários de Saúde e outro para treze membros da equipe. Os dados foram quantificados e analisados qualitativamente visando refletir sobre a importância da comunicação nas ações de promoção e prevenção da saúde, e sua relação com a atenção básica municipal e a redução do número de internações nos hospitais por causas básicas. Com base na teoria crítica, na teoria do agir comunicativo de Habermas e nos recentes estudos latino-americanos sobre a importância da comunicação como insumo na saúde, analisamos os instrumentos de comunicação utilizados pela equipe e a forma como essa comunicação se estabelece, a fim de traçar um protocolo de sugestões para minimizar os problemas de comunicação no desenvolvimento das ações.

Full textIntroduction: The object of analysis of the present study are the collective actions developed to face violence and the social constructions of youths, parents, leaders and health professionals, educators and managers about what it is to be young and about violence in the administrative districts of Jardim Ângela and Grajaú, in the municipality of São Paulo. Objectives: to analyze and compare the processes that guide the collective actions and the participatory experiences of health promotion for youths carried out by governmental and non-governmental organizations, in order to face and resist violence, in the Administrative Districts of Grajaú and Jardim Ângela, aiming to contribute to the construction of a culture of peace and implementation of public policies targeted at the local youths. Methodology: qualitative case study that comprehended the articulation of data obtained through individual interviews, semi-structured forms, selfreported questionnaires and surveys of secondary data. For the analysis, the main methodological strategy used was triangulation of information. The theoretical framework founded on action sociology was the benchmark based on which the information was analyzed. Results: the mortality rate by aggressions/homicides showed a higher decreasing trend in the district of Jardim Ângela compared to Grajaú, from 2003 onwards. Despite the reduction registered in the violence indicators, they are still high in the two districts compared to the rest of the municipality. In the analysis of the youths protection network, it was verified that the interventions\' main objective is to reduce the risk of violence, focusing on education, culture, and socio-educational development. The interventions frequently encompass educational and cultural programs, sports practice and leisure. It was observed that the youths do not act as players in the public policies and in the collective actions in the districts, and also that those who do not attend school anymore are excluded from the public policies and from the entities\' projects. Concerning the view of youth, the ones that predominate are: youth as a phase of difficulties and of transition to adult life; to the youths, it is a phase of entertainment and preparation for assuming future responsibilities. Their life projects are: studying and working. Family, school and work were considered important socialization institutions. The youths like the regions where they live, and they do not consider them violent, in opposition to the violence perceptions of the players that do not live in the districts. The main problems identified in the regions were lack of infrastructure, of basic sanitation, of premises for conviviality, leisure, cultural activities and equipment for the youths. Domestic violence is a serious problem in the regions, as well as alcohol and drug consumption and the traffic\'s actions. Conclusion: in the District of Jardim Ângela, there was a greater mobilization of the civil society, with the development of collective actions to face violence, whereas in the District of Grajaú, there have been recent actions and articulations between the public power and the civil society to face the problem. In both districts, the researched youths are not the players of the actions. Those who do not study anymore do not have access to the entities\' actions and try to fulfill their life projects in another way: girls get pregnant and form a family and boys go to the streets, looking for informal and non-qualified jobs. The public policies and collective actions directed at youths are fragmented and disorganized in both districts. The youths protection network is diffuse, schools have a preponderant role and the entities have a vocation for assistentialism. In Jardim Ângela, the picture is a little different, due to the relevant role played by a network of entities leaded by the Catholic Church, and by the more integrated action of the Health Care Units.

Esta dissertação objetivou apreender o significado dos Círculos de Cultura para os atores sociais envolvidos na prática educativa com adolescentes escolares multiplicadores em saúdee constitui-se de cinco artigos científicos. A fim de analisar práticas educativas em saúde desenvolvidas com adolescentes escolares, a partir de evidências disponíveis na literatura atual, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa nas bases de dados PubMed, LILACS e ADOLEC, com inclusão de 6 estudos. Observou-se predomínio de intervenções educativas centradas no educador. Para apreensão do significado dos Círculos de Cultura, foram desenvolvidos quatro artigos originais do tipo descritivo-exploratório, ancorados na abordagem qualitativa, que tiveram como cenário duas escolas estaduais de Pernambuco. Os participantes foram adolescentes escolares que vivenciaram Círculos de Culturadesenvolvidos por um Projeto de Extensão do Departamento de Enfermagem da Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, além de professores das escolas e graduandos de enfermagem da referida instituição que atuaram como facilitadores desses Círculos de Cultura em 2013 e 2014. Para a obtenção de dados foi utilizada a entrevista semiestruturada e o registro em diário de campo. Os dados foram produzidos pelo método do discurso do sujeito coletivo, técnica auxiliada pela utilização do software Qualiquantisoft. Observou-se que os Círculos de Cultura proporcionaram aos graduandos de enfermagem uma experiência inovadora de educação em saúde numa relação horizontal, compromissada com as potencialidades do educando e que faz a diferença na formação profissional. A experiência despertou criticidade, revelando a necessidade de repensar a formação do enfermeiro nas ações de educação em saúde. Para os professores, os Círculos de Cultura constituem uma tecnologia educativa que coloca o adolescente como protagonista na construção do conhecimento, proporcionando autoestima e contribuindo no rendimento escolar. Pelas suas impressões em relação aos Círculos, os professoresrevisitaram suas práticas educacionais, refletindo sobre as dificuldades que enfrentam cotidianamente. Para os adolescentes escolares, os Círculos de Cultura colocaram-nos na condição de protagonistas, o que estimulou o interesse em aprender e o desenvolvimento de criticidadefrente a abordagem de ensino bancário em sala de aula. A vivência provocou mudanças de postura nas disciplinas curriculares e vida pessoal, em família e na comunidade, fazendo com que eles quisessem multiplicar os saberes apreendidos.Conclui-se que os Círculos de Cultura tiveram significado fundamental para os atores sociais por proporcionarem uma experiência que valoriza conhecimentos prévios e envolvimento de todos nas discussões coletivas, baseadas em reflexões críticas pela problematização da realidade, configurando-se numa importante ferramenta na prática de uma educação em saúde humanizada, política e libertadora. Para a Enfermagem, os Círculos de Cultura surgem como estratégia de promoção da saúde por permitirem o desenvolvimento de espaços emancipatórios de cuidado, o que contribui para uma formação e atuação profissional comprometidas com as ideias de horizontalidade das relações e possibilidades de transformação do contexto de vida das pessoas. Sugere-se o desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas com metodologias participativas e emancipatórias onde o educador incite a curiosidade e inquietude dos adolescentes, para que esses se percebam como seres pensantese críticos, aptos a intervirem na realidade, alicerçados no compromisso com seu papel político e social.
The objective of this research was to learn the meaning of Cultural Circles for the social actors that are part of the educational practice of health disseminators school teenagers. This work consists of five scientific articles. In order to analyze the health educational practices carried out with school teenagers based on available scientific evidence, an integrative review was done in the PubMed, LILACS and ADOLEC databases, which included 32 studies. Educator-centered interventions were predominant. The other publications were descriptive exploratory original articles, based on qualitative approach, whose scenarios were two public schools of Pernambuco state. The participants were school teenagers who experienced the Cultural Circles carried out by teachers from those schools and students from an Extension Program of the Nursing Department, Federal University of Pernambuco, who acted as facilitators for those Circles in 2013 and 2014. It was verified that the Cultural Circles provided the nursery undergraduates with an innovative health education experience, committed to the teenagers’ potentialities and capable of making a difference to the undergraduates’ formation. This experience stimulated the undergraduates’ sense of judgment, revealing the need for rethinking the Nursing’s formation for working with healthcare education. As for the professors, the Cultural Circles are seen as an education technology that puts the adolescent as the protagonist in the development of knowledge, increasing self-esteem and school productivity. In addition, the professors were able to review their educational practices, reflecting about the difficulties they face daily. For the school teenagers, the Cultural Circles put them on a leadership condition, what encouraged them to learn and assume a critical position when facing the reality of the classroom, which is still based on an imposing model of education. This experience caused changes in curricular disciplines and in the teenagers’ family and community living, making them eager to multiply what they have learned. In conclusion, the Cultural Circles were significant for the social actors involved, as it provided an experience that valued previous knowledge and involvement in all of the collective discussions, based on critical reflection about their reality, serving as an important tool for the practice of a human, political and liberating healthcare education. For the Nursing degree, the Cultural Circles emerge as a strategy of health promotion, as they allow the development of caring spaces with freedom, which contribute to a professional formation committed to ideas of relationships based on equality and to transforming people’s lives. It is therefore suggested that new research with participative and liberating methodologies are carried out, in which the educator could bring about the teenagers’ curiosity and eagerness, for them to understand themselves as thinking and critical beings, able to intervene in reality, with social and political commitment.

Full textSyftet med föreliggande kvalitativa studie är att undersöka anställdas upplevelser avkulturaktiviteter som arrangerats av arbetsgivaren och deras eventuella betydelse förvälbefinnande och arbetstillfredsställelse. Metoden som användes i studien var tematiskanalys. Datainsamlingen skedde genom åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med anställda vid enkommunförvaltning som haft deltagande i kulturaktiviteter organiserade av arbetsgivarensom en del av sina arbetsuppgifter. I resultatet utkristalliserades tre huvudteman medtillhörande underteman: Upplevelsen av en ökad social interaktion på arbetsplatsen(Främjande av gemenskap och sammanhållning på arbetsplatsen, Nya och fördjupaderelationer med kollegor, och Samtal och diskussion med kollegor), Upplevelsen av enförändrad syn på arbetsplatsen (Att känna sig uppskattad av arbetsgivaren, Upplevelsen avatt kulturaktiviteterna gynnar arbetsplatsen, och Upplevelsen av hur kulturaktiviteterna harorganiserats), och Upplevelsen av att kulturaktiviteterna leder till fördelar för individen(Någonting utöver det vanliga för individen, och Berikande för individen). Huvudtemanabeskriver tillsammans med sina underteman hur kulturaktiviteterna upplevs ha påverkatsociala relationer, ökat trivseln på arbetsplatsen samt varit utvecklande för medarbetarna somindivider. Resultatet går till stor del i linje med tidigare forskning och kan kopplas tilletablerade psykologiska teorier. Sammantaget dras slutsatsen utifrån vad som framkommit iresultatet och tidigare forskning att kulturaktiviteter skulle kunna användas inom arbetslivetför att främja individens välbefinnande och trivsel på arbetet.
