Full textThe International Centre for Participation Studies and Sharing Voices Bradford (for information on these organisations, see Appendices 3 and 4) maintain that participation is an important part of a healthy democracy, with benefits for all. However, participation can be anything from empowering to tokenistic, and must be critically examined if we are to understand how to use it effectively. This paper considers the contribution of participation to improved service delivery in the health service. For beneficiaries, participation can be about ownership and responsibility for the services we use, as well as rights and the chance to express what we want from them. For service providers, participation is widely recognised as an effective way of tailoring services to the needs of the different communities they serve. The NHS and other service providers have made great strides in developing mechanisms for participation by service users. However, these do not always reach all sections of the community. Many individuals feel sceptical about getting involved, unconvinced that their contribution could make a real difference. Through the Participation ¿ Why Bother? workshops, we set out to explore these feelings, to reflect on perceived barriers and identify changes that might help overcome them. The aim was not to look at the substance of service delivery issues, but to try and work out how the process of involving people in decision-making in the NHS could be improved, to make it easier for voices from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities to be heard.

Full textThe movement to reaffirm the importance of Primary Health Care (PHC) in the first decades of this century highlighted the need for qualification in the services of this level of care, fostering assessment and monitoring initiatives. In Brazil, this has corresponded to the implementation of Family Health Strategy (FHS). In the State of São Paulo, FHS was implemented within a PHC network already established according to heath Programs. The coexistence of these two ways of organizing and operating the services generated great diversity in care structuring within PHC. The objective of this study was to evaluate the response capacity of the services located on the countryside of the State of São Paulo to health needs classically regarded as being typical of PHC. The data utilized have come from a response bank to the QualiAB questionnaire - Primary Care Quality and Monitoring Evaluation comprising 85 multiple choice questions, from 2.735 services. The evaluative framework \'Response Capacity\' in PHC resulted from certain questions from QualiAB, organized in 3 dominions: Availability of resources (5 sub dominions: 51 indicators), direct assistance Operation (5 sub dominions: 50 indicators) and Work Management (4 sub dominions: 21 indicators), totaling 122 indicators. Every positive response corresponded to score 1. The overall average was 56,6%. According to Friedman e Dunn\'s tests, dominion Availability of resources had greater performance contribution, followed by dominions work\'s technical Management and direct assistance Operation. The three dominions showed positive correlations (Spearman\'s test). The sub dominions k-means comprised two performance groups: Satisfactory Capacity of response (SC), with 39% (1065) of services studied, and the Insufficient Capacity group (IC), with 61% (1658). In order to analyze the distribution of the services in the groups, a logistics regression model was utilized. This model considered the following variables as being possibly associated: population and human development index (HDI) of the service municipality, number of appointments in the services, technical support from the state government, financial support from state government, and an organizational arrangement based on models of care previously structured. Results showed that services whose organizational arrangements were Health Center-FHS mixed-type, with 800 or more monthly appointments, located in municipalities with more than 100 thousand inhabitants, receiving additional technical support from the state, and with a higher HDI showed higher probability of belonging to the Satisfactory Response group response. Additional financial support from the state did not show association. When those variables were adjusted only to the services located in municipalities with less than 100 thousand inhabitants, a continuous financial support since 2000 showed association, whereas HDI did not show association any longer. Therefore, it was concluded that the response capacity obtained was low, which compromised the expected role of PHC. Organizational arrangements combining different modes of organizing and operating the services might prove more promising. Measures seeking to mitigate inequalities must be reaffirmed as public policies, especially in the case of municipalities with smaller populations

Full textThis research is inserted in the ambit of the quotidianity of users of a Psychosocial Care Center (CAPS), which is a substitutive service to asylums. CAPS's suppositions highlight the care to the subjects who have psychological stress, aiming psychosocial rehabilitation. This research has the objective of understanding the CAPS users' quotidian, to the light of phenomenological sociology. It is a qualitative study, which follows the theoretical and methodological references from Alfred Schutz's phenomenological sociology. The field of study was a CAPS in Porto Alegre City, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil; and 13 users of it were interviewed, being the subjects of the study. Data collection occurred from April to June 2008, by phenomenological interview with the guiding question: "Tell me what you do in your days". In the comprehensive data analysis, it emerged five categories, from which it is possible to comprehend that the user lives his quotidian: experiencing psychological stress, developing several actions, considering CAPS as a dimension of his quotidian, highlighting work like an intrinsic relevance, establishing social relationships. Whit this research, it is possible to understand the conceptions the users have about quotidian, which shows they are (re) acquiring social relationships in various aspects of society. Thus, CAPS are promoting, in addition to care, the psychosocial rehabilitation of their users, in the way that they are establishing many kinds of actions, social, occupational and recreational relations, propitiated by the psychosocial way.

Los presupuestos de los CAPS destacan la atención de los sujetos con sufrimiento psíquico teniendo como fin la Rehabilitación Psicosocial. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo comprender la cotidianeidad de los usuarios de un CAPS en la perspectiva de la Sociología Fenomenológica. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo, cuyo referente teórico-metodológico es la sociología fenomenológica de Alfred Schutz. El campo de estudio fue un CAPS del municipio de Porto Alegre, en el que fueron entrevistados 13 usuarios del mismo. La recolección de datos tuvo lugar entre abril y junio del 2008, y fue realizada mediante una entrevista fenomenológica con una cuestión orientadora: "Hábleme de lo que el/la señor/a hace en sus días". Luego del análisis de las declaraciones, emergieron cinco categorías concretas, en que el usuario: presenta sufrimiento psíquico determinado en su cotidianeidad; desempeña acciones en su cotidianeidad; considera el CAPS como una dimensión de su cotidianeidad; destaca el trabajo como una relevancia intrínseca en su cotidianeidad; establece relaciones sociales en su cotidianidad. Con esta investigación se puede comprender las concepciones que los usuarios tienen de su cotidianeidad, demostrando que están (re)adquiriendo la convivencia social en diversos espacios de la sociedad. De esa manera, los CAPS están promoviendo además del atendimiento, la rehabilitación psicosocial de sus usuarios, en la medida en que estos establecen diversas acciones, relaciones sociales, ocupacionales y de placer, propiciadas por el modo psicosocial.

Full textSince psychiatry has arisen, family participation in the treatment of subjects undergoing psychiatric suffering has been little encouraged. Considering the recent progress reached by the movement of the Brazilian psychiatric reform, among which, the implementation of services in replacement of the psychiatric hospital like the Centers of Psychosocial Care (CAPS), it is relevant investigating what the users´ families point out to us about the work of the team that perform in these services. This study aimed at understanding the life experiences of family members of CAPS users about the team work, under the perspective of the Phenomenological Sociology of Alfred Schutz. It is a study of qualitative approach of the phenomenological type. Thirteen family members were interviewed in October and November 2006 at a CAPS unit, located in Porto Alegre. For the collection of the testimonies, interview was carried out with the following guiding issue: “Talk about the team work of the Center of Psychosocial Care”. From the comprehensive analysis, three categories have emerged: the work as project, action and act; founded in the interest at hand; featured by interactive relations. The performed analysis allowed considering that the CAPS team work suffers interference from the management of municipal public policies; it has concrete results in the mental health care; it should integrate more the family into the service. The considerations can provide inputs for the mental health teams to think over their practices regarding the involvement of the family in their work in a service that replaces the psychiatric hospital.
Desde el nacimiento de la psiquiatría, la participación de la familia en el tratamiento de los individuos en sufrimiento psíquico ha sido poco encorajada. Teniendo en cuenta los recientes avances alcanzados por el movimiento de la reforma psiquiátrica brasileña, de entre los cuales la implementación de servicios sustitutivos al hospital psiquiátrico como los Centros de Atención Psicosocial (CAPS), es relevante investigar lo que nos apuntan las familias de usuarios acerca del trabajo del equipo que actúa en estos servicios. El objetivo de este estudio fue comprender las experiencias de familiares de usuarios de un CAPS sobre el trabajo del equipo, bajo la perspectiva de la Sociología Fenomenológica de Alfred Schutz. Se trata de un estudio de abordaje cualitativo, de la clase fenomenológica. Fueron entrevistados 13 familiares en octubre y noviembre de 2006, en un CAPS localizado en Porto Alegre. Para la recolección de los testimonios, fue utilizada entrevista con la siguiente cuestión orientadora: “Hable acerca del trabajo del equipo del Centro de Atención Psicosocial”. Del análisis compreensivo emergieron tres categorías: el trabajo como proyecto, acción y acto; fundamentado en el interés a la mano; impregnado por relaciones interactivas. El análisis realizado permitió considerar que el trabajo del equipo del CAPS sufre interferencia de la gestión de las políticas públicas municipales; tiene resultados concretos en la asistencia en salud mental; debería integrar más la familia al servicio. Estas consideraciones pueden servir de subsidios para los equipos de salude mental reflexionar acerca de sus prácticas cuanto al envolvimiento de la familia en su trabajo en un servicio sustitutivo al hospital psiquiátrico.

The psychiatric care and mental health are undergoing constant change over the History. The Brazilian Psychiatric Reform, which brings up the deinstitutionalization as a structuring in the restorative care process. The Reform has as one of the mainly substitutive services the Centers for Psychosocial Care (CAPS), which work from the Singular Therapeutic Project (PTS) in order to restore the autonomy and restore the dignity of users. The therapeutic workshop is some of the resources used and work several kinds of activities as: writing, handcraft, music, poetry, and so forth. This study set up to apprehend the social representations of helping of the music workshop carried out in the CAPS II east of Natal/RN, from the reports given by the participants of the workshop, using the focal group as technique. This is a descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach. A total of 16 users participated in four musical therapeutic workshops from April to May 2010. The study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of UFRN. The discursive material from the workshop was submitted to the informational resource of Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d um Ensemble de Segments de Texte, ALCESTE, and analyzed based on the Theory of Representations and the Central Core Theory. The majority of subjects were men (62.5%), single (62.5%), aged 40-49 years (37.6%) and elementary school level (56.2 %). The reports were transcribed and submitted to the classification system of ALCESTE, which elected the following categories: Category 1 - Experience in the Word Family Sung, Category 2 - Musical Experiences and Approaches, and Category 3 - Feelings and emotions evoked by music. The representation of these individuals is anchored in the experience they have with the CAPS, lived and socialized by common sense, through this particular social group workshop objectified in music therapy as a therapeutic modality enjoyable. The central core revealed the intrinsic relationship between users and the music, establishing a relationship of openness to use the same while its therapeutic use in workshops of substitute services for mental health. Peripherals elements issues are related to listen, share and experience music in the family. Intermediary Elements relate to the feelings and emotions evoked by music, given her close relationship with it. It was found in the study that music can be construed as an artifact of good therapeutic responsiveness to users, configuring it as an invigorating and enjoyable therapy, confirming the need for continuity of this activity, as well as its expansion into the service

Full textAbstract AIM The aim of the study was to measure the maternal and foetal outcomes of the deliveries attended to at Emkhuzweni Health Centre, Swaziland. Objectives The objectives of the study were: .:. To determine maternal outcomes of the deliveries attended to at Emkhuzweni Health Centre. .:. To determine foetal outcomes of the deliveries attended to at Emkhuzweni Health Centre. .:. To identify risk factors that affect maternal and foetal outcomes at Emkhuzweni Health Centre Methods A retrospective chart review was performed for all 520 deliveries at Emkhuzweni Health Centre between January 1,2007 and December 31 2007. Labouring mothers were eligible for the study if they met the inclusion criteria. The study was conducted after ethical approvals from the relevant authorities were obtained. Data were obtained from records for the following variables: age, address, gravidity, parity, health service where ANC was attended, risk factor, mode of delivery, maternal condition after delivery and post-delivery maternal hospital stay. For each foetus, the APGAR score at the first and fifth minute, weight and sex of the neonate and condition after delivery were recorded. Results The results revealed that the maternal outcomes after delivery were normal for 89.85% of the mothers; 3.4% of those who delivered at EHC had PPH, 5.4% developed puerperal sepsis, 1 % PIH and 0.2% cases resulted in maternal death. The majority of mothers (61.7%) were discharged from the maternity ward in less than 24 hrs. As far as foetal outcomes were concerned, normal babies accounted for 68% of births, early onset neonatal sepsis for 1.9%, congenital malformation (0.6%), stillbirth (1.5%), low birth weight (9.2%), preterm babies (17.8 %) and neonatal death (0.4%0. Conclusion This study found that the maternal outcomes at Emkhuzweni Health Centre in 2007 were similar to those in Swaziland as a whole and in other developing countries, except that there was a higher rate of pre-term delivery among pregnant women assisted at Emkhuzweni Health Centre. The foetal outcomes of Emkhuzweni Health Centre in 2007 were similar to the data from developing countries. Additionally, however; significant numbers of pre-term babies were delivered and a high incidence of neonatal sepsis was observed at the Health Centre. Some of the risk factors for the observed maternal and foetal outcomes were poor antenatal care attendance, distance of the Health Centre from the home state of the pregnant woman, preterm labour, under age and teenage pregnancies.

Full textSection 27 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 provides that everyone has a right to have access to health care. South Africa embraces the concept of universal health care coverage. Access to health care has four dimensions: geographic accessibility, availability, financial accessibility and acceptability. If there were barriers to access to health care, the stake-holders would be duty-bound to design interventions requisite to address those barriers. The aim of the study was to establish whether health care users enjoy the right to have access to health services at Ratshaatsha Community Health Centre (RCHC). The study used a combination of quantitative and qualitative research designs. While a questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data, focused group discussions and participant observations were employed to collect qualitative data. The following are the main findings of the study. Human rights instruments clearly spell out the indivisible and mutually supportive rights that persons have. There are barriers that often affect the rights to have access to health services at RCHC. For instance, the RCHC is not within a 25 km radius of some of the consumers of health care. The roads that link up the health care users and RCHC are in poor condition. The community is generally poverty-stricken. Many cannot afford, among others, the costs of basic needs, transport fares and opportunity costs. Travelling distance and time, scarce skills and lack of medication and equipment rank among demand-side and supply-side barriers to access to health care. Health care users often choose to consult churches and traditional healers. It is recommended that government should, among others, co-ordinate primary health care services in collaboration with churches and traditional healers; commission research into traditional health medicine and healing procedures and protocols of other health care providers; develop policy on cross-referral of patients; improve community participation; set minimum norms and standards for the delivery of alternative health care services; establish health care management guidelines for churches and traditional healers; integrate health care provisioning into IDPs; and provide health care in an integrated intergovernmental manner.
