Sensitive Conditions Primary health problems are treated by typical actions of the first level of health care, so that in situations of absence of effective service requires the use of specialized services in hospitals. Thus, hospitalizations are used as indicators to assess and monitor the effectiveness of Primary Health Care. The study is justified by the need to advance the discussion on health indicators to support managers in the decision-making process with regard to the proper planning of health actions that are often distorted and generate financial losses due to failure in planning, so that meet the needs of users of health services, primarily in the area of primary care while ordinate of health care. It is an exploratory, descriptive, ecological and inferential with quantitative and qualitative approaches. Quantitative results were analyzed based on the hypothesis tests for equal proportions and trends in proportions. Qualitative analysis was performed based on discourse analysis technique to shed proposed by José Luiz Fiorin. There was a downward trend in hospitalizations caused by primary care-sensitive conditions. in the city of João Pessoa/PB, from 2008 to 2013. However, there was an average of 16% of hospital expenses with preventable diseases. Analysis of the 19 groups of hospitalizations sensitive conditions. revealed that three groups (16%) did not show any trend and seven groups (37%) had growing trend of admissions. It was also observed that there are weaknesses in the planning process managers; failures in the network of health care and professional work process. It is suggested continuous investment in primary care in order to strengthen services so that health actions are carried out in an efficient and timely manner, aiming to avoid Sensitive Conditions Hospitalization for primary care; reduction in financial costs and unnecessary access to the services offered by the municipal health.
Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária são problemas de saúde tratados por ações típicas do primeiro nível de atenção à saúde, de modo que, em situações de ausência de atendimento efetivo, requer o uso de serviços especializados em hospitais. Dessa forma, as internações são utilizadas como indicadores para avaliar e monitorar a efetividade da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). O estudo se justifica pela necessidade de fazer avançar a discussão sobre os indicadores de saúde para subsidiar os gestores no processo de tomada de decisão no tocante ao planejamento adequado das ações de saúde que muitas vezes são distorcidas e geram prejuízos financeiros por falhas no planejamento, de modo a que atendam as necessidades dos usuários dos serviços de saúde, prioritariamente, na área da atenção primária enquanto ordenadora do cuidado em saúde. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, descritivo, ecológico e inferencial com abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa. Os resultados quantitativos foram analisados a partir dos testes de hipóteses para igualdade de proporções e tendências de proporções. A análise qualitativa foi realizada com base na técnica de Análise de Discurso na vertente proposta por José Luiz Fiorin. Observou-se uma tendência decrescente das proporções de Internação por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária (ICSAP) no município de João Pessoa/PB, no período de 2008 a 2013. Contudo, houve uma média de gastos hospitalares de 16% com doenças evitáveis. A análise dos 19 grupos de ICSAP revelou que, três grupos (16%) não apresentavam nenhum tipo de tendência e sete grupos (37%) apresentavam tendência crescente de internações. Também foi possível observar que existem fragilidades no processo de planejamento dos gestores; falhas na rede de atenção à saúde e no processo de trabalho dos profissionais. Sugere-se investimentos contínuos na Atenção Primária, no intuito de fortalecer os serviços, para que as ações de saúde sejam realizadas de forma eficiente e oportuna, objetivando evitar as Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária; diminuição de gastos financeiros e acessos desnecessários aos serviços oferecidos pela saúde municipal.
Zhang, Chao. "The photochemical reflectance index (PRI) as an indicator of changes in photosynthetic dynamics and gross primary productivity in response to climate change." Doctoral thesis, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10803/457747.
Full textQuantifying photosynthetic dynamics from different spatiotemporal scales is highly important for carbon uptake research, particularly under ongoing climate changes. The photochemical reflectance index (PRI) has shown to be useful to remotely asses the physiological functioning of vegetation and it constitutes a promising method to estimate gross primary productivity (GPP) at global scale. In the last years, several works have presented possible improvements on PRI understanding and formulation to improve its applicability at larger temporal and spatial scales. The main objective of this dissertation was to clarify the mechanisms that elicit the variability in PRI and to evaluate the applicability of PRI in detecting photosynthetic dynamics and carbon uptake under various stress conditions at different spatiotemporal scales. Three special objectives were addressed in six chapters in this thesis. The first objective was to summarize the main factors that affect PRI variation according the most recent publications, also the relationships between PRI and RUE/GPP and other ecophysiological variables across diurnal and seasonal scales at foliar, canopy and ecosystemic levels, as well as the improvements in PRI implementation. The second objective was to evaluate the capacity of PRI in monitoring the dynamics of photosynthetic activity of evergreen species seasonally or under water or temperature stresses. The last objective was to assess whether the PRI retrieved from MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) can be utilized to detect the effects of extreme drought on GPP and isoprenoid emissions at ecosystem scale. The main conclusion of this thesis in the first chapter was that PRI is a good proxy of RUE and GPP at different spatial and temporal scales and was mainly constrained by facultative changes of xanthophyll-cycle pigments at short-term scales and by constitutive changes of chlorophyll and carotenoid pool sizes at long-term scales. Correcting PRI to decrease the effects of physical or physiological factors or combining PRI with solar-induced fluorescence (SIF) and conventional greenness biomass indices could greatly improve remote estimation of RUE and GPP. The second chapter showed that leaf-level fluorescence spectra from all wavelengths (670 to 800 nm) have similar potential to track the dynamics of photosynthetic seasonality during spring recovery period in Scots pine needles and that PRI and WI also acted as good indicators to track the recovery of photosynthesis. The third chapter demonstrated that both PRI and reflectance-ratio based fluorescence (R690/R630) were not only sensitive to progressively enhanced drought stress but also sensitive enough to the recovery of photosynthesis for Mediterranean evergreen leaves. The fourth chapter illustrated that PRI and ΔPRI (morning PRI subtracted from midday PRI) were able to monitor the seasonality and the midday depression of photosynthesis of Mediterranean evergreen shrub in response to experimental warming and drought. In the fifth chapter the conclusion was that the MODIS PRI normalized by absorbed light (APAR) (sPRIn) detected the effects of drought events on GPP for Mediterranean forest but not for grassland ecosystem. In the final chapter we concluded that PRI is a promising index to estimate isoprene emissions, especially when it is complemented by information on potential emission.

Full textBased on extrinsic and intrinsic factors, skin complexion of an individual evolves in time. The Joss of its homogeneity is linked to the appearance of hyperpigmented les ions. The latters are induced by chronic sun exposure and appear with the age, as in the solar lentigo disorder. Despite its well-known characterization at the macroscopic levels, only few studies explore the skin fonctions of the solar lentigo with non-invasive tools. At the cellular and molecular levels, this lesion results from an altered process of pigmentation that is involved in the regulation of the cutaneous photo-protection. Despite the changes of the functional dialogue between the epiderrnic and derrnic layers, no study describes the functional characteristics of primary ce lis isolated from the solar lentigo. The first aim of my project consisted on a functional exploration of the solar lentigo by the use of diverse biometrological parameters. The study was carried out on a cohort of 80 women, some of them had few (grade l) and others many solar lentiges (grade 2) on their faces. Thanks to photographie measurements to determine the grade, various biometrological approaches had quantified the rates of sebum, melanin, hemoglobin, moisturizing, light reflection and the colour (L *, a*, b* and 1T A). Results of the statistical analyses revealed that the quantity of sebumdiscriminates the skin territories of the cheek and forehead, 2) the rates of melanin, hemoglobin, light reflection and the colour were differential between affected (solar lentigo) and not affected zones, within the volunteers' cheek territory, and 3) decreased rates of light reflection and hemoglobin, as well as, increased rate moisturizing, were observed within the lesional zone between both grades. Altogether, our data highlighted some of the biometrological parameters, as indicators of the skin territory, the lesional vs non lesional areas and the progression (grade 2 vs 1) of solar lentigo The second aim covered morphological and functional analyses of the solar lentigo's primary fibroblasts. This study was carried out on a cohort of 10 volunteers and two biopsies, containing the peri-lesional and lesional areas, were taken from each person. From these biopsies, human primary fibroblasts were isolated and grown. An immunofluorescence approach revealed that the fibroblasts of solar lentigo (FL) and those from adjacent healthy areas (FS) did not depict similar morphological characteristics with a differential organization of their actin cytoskeleton. Functional approaches demonstrated that FL displayed decrease of their metabolic activity, theirproliferation rates and their migration capacity, compared to FS. On the contrary, FL showed increased secretion capacity in terms of soluble factors. Our in vitro mode! of primary fibroblasts(FL/FS), which showed similarities with in vivo fibroblast's characteristics, might be considered as an appropriate cellular mode! to test active principles targeting skin complexion heterogeneity in women with mature skin. Using clinicat and translational research approaches, both objectives highlighted indicators and biomarkers of the solar lentigo. This work contributed to better understand the impact of the intrinsic and extrinsic factors in the Joss of complexion homogeneitv

Full textThe ecological balance of aquatic ecosystems is fundamental for biodiversity conservation and for to perform the environmental services. Stream metabolism can be used as a functional indicator of the level of disturbance of the environment due to the influence of watershed conditions on the characteristics and structure of aquatic ecosystems. The present study evaluated the spatial-temporal variation of gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (R) rates, in streams located in the Cerrado, as to understanding the influence of water and the substrate characteristics and vegetation in metabolism. For this, six subtropical streams (São Carlos and Brotas, SP, Brazil) were studied with different environmental conditions. The metabolism was modeled by the short-term changes in the concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) and the photosynthetically active solar radiation, every 10 min in periods of 24h. In addition, the modeling considers the reaeration rates in each stream, which was estimated by gas tracer (SF6). Variables of water quality, substrate, hydrological characteristics, and percentage of canopy cover were determined. Regression models were used, among other statistical analyzes, to evaluate the main predictors of metabolic rates. The streams had discharge rates lower than 100 L.s-1, and the percentage of canopy cover varied between 39 and 86%. The mean concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus varied between 0.8-1.3 mg.L-1 and 9.4-42.4 μg.L-1, respectively, and the streams were classified as oligo and mesotrophic. The mean amplitude of daily DO variations was 0.2 to 1.2 mg.L-1. Rates of GPP ranged from 0.01 to 0.68 gO2 m-2.day-1. R rates varied from 0.61 to 42.08 gO2 m-2.day-1. From the balance between PPB and R, the six streams presented heterotrophic conditions (respiration exceeded gross primary production, with negative net primary production), which makes these streams more vulnerable to the eventual contribution of organic loads that generate demand for oxygen. Although phosphorus concentrations were correlated with metabolic rates, the main predictors of metabolic rates, by regression models, were discharge and canopy cover percentage. The canopy cover was probably responsible for reducing the incidence of solar radiation and, consequently, the main limitation of the availability of underwater light for benthic algae. The discharge indicated a possible effect on the algae biomass reduction due to the abrasion caused by the water velocity. It is expected that, in addition to the generation of data set on aquatic environments of the relatively little studied biome, the Cerrado, the information presented about the main drivers in the metabolic processes of the streams can offer directions to projects for its conservation and for the support of their environmental services.

Introdução: O Sistema Único de Saúde visa garantir o acesso aos serviços de forma integral, igualitária e com qualidade, promovendo a melhoria de vida dos indivíduos e sua coletividade. O acesso pode ser definido como o ato de chegar, ou entrar ou ser acessível. Na saúde, envolve a capacidade de produzir serviços úteis, aliados ao planejamento e organização do sistema, abarcando aspectos geográficos, econômicos, funcionais e socioculturais. A efetividade é um instrumento que mensura o desempenho dos serviços de saúde, avaliando o cumprimento dos objetivos, metas e ações programáticas. Juntos, garantem a qualidade e a resolubilidade dos problemas da população por ações provindas de uma intervenção nos campos da saúde Objetivo: Conhecer o acesso e a efetividade da atenção primária à saúde na Região de Saúde do Pólo Cuesta – São Paulo por meio Índice do Desempenho do Sistema Único de Saúde (IDSUS) e compará-los com a visão dos gestores municipais. Método: Estudo qualitativo e analítico, cujos dados foram coletados por meio eletrônico do IDSUS e por entrevistas semi-estruturadas aos gestores municipais de saúde do ano de 2016. Os discursos foram analisados na vertente representacional temática, tendo como referencial teórico a Política Nacional de Atenção Básica e o Manual Instrutivo do IDSUS. Resultados: Participaram nove gestores com idade média de 50 anos, sendo 77,78% do sexo feminino. A região de saúde apresentou quatro subdivisões em grupos homogêneos, sendo a maioria alocados no grupo homogêneo 5. Na avaliação do acesso da Atenção Básica pelo IDSUS, seis municípios apresentaram notas iguais a 8 e +, e um município apresentou nota 4 a 4,9. Em relação à efetividade, dois municípios apresentaram notas de sete a 7,9. O corpus de análise revelou quatro categorias temáticas: 1) Conhecendo o acesso à Atenção Primária à Saúde; 2) A efetividade nos municípios na perspectiva dos gestores; 3) O IDSUS e o planejamento das ações; 4) Dificuldades do acesso na visão dos gestores. Conclusão: os gestores entendem o acesso à Atenção Primária à Saúde de maneira simplificada e superficial, não havendo reflexões acerca do que representa, de fato, esse índice. As barreiras em relação ao acesso organizacional são as deficiências quanto ao processo de trabalho, fragmentação das ações de saúde e uso do Pronto Atendimento como porta de entrada na atenção primária. A efetividade foi melhor entendida pelos gestores e considerada boa para a Região de Saúde.
Introduction: The Unified Health System aims to guarantee access to services in an integral, egalitarian and quality way, promoting the improvement of the life of individuals and their community. Access can be defined as the act of arriving, or entering, or being accessible. Health involves the ability to produce useful services, allied to the planning and organization of the system, encompassing geographic, economic, functional and socio-cultural aspects. Effectiveness is an instrument that measures the performance of health services, evaluating the fulfillment of the objectives, goals and programmatic actions. Together, both guarantee the quality and the resolution of the population's problems with actions in the health field. Objective: To know the access and effectiveness of primary health care in the Health Region of Cuesta - São Paulo by using the Performance Index of the Unified Health System (IDSUS) and compare them with the vision of municipal managers. Method: Qualitative and analytical study whose data were collected by electronic means from IDSUS and by semi-structured interviews with the municipal health managers of the year 2016. The discourses were analyzed in the thematic representational section having as theoretical reference the National Policy of Basic Attention (PNAB) and the IDSUS Instructional Manual. Results: Nine managers participated, with a mean age of 50 years, 77.78% were female. The health region had four subdivisions in homogeneous groups, being the majority allocated to the homogeneous group 5. In the evaluation of access to Basic Care by IDSUS, six municipalities presented grades equal to 8 and +, and one municipality presented scores from four to 4.9. Regarding effectiveness, two municipalities presented grades from seven to 7.9. The analysis corpus revealed four thematic categories: 1) Knowing access in Primary Health Care; 2) Effectiveness in municipalities from the perspective of managers; 3) IDSUS and action planning; 4) Difficulties of access in the view of managers. Conclusion: managers understand the access in the Primary Health Care in a simplified and superficial way without reflecting on what this index represents. The barriers to organizational access are the shortcomings in the work process, the fragmentation of health actions and the use of the Emergency Department as a gateway to primary care. The managers understood effectiveness better, considered good for the Health Region.

Full textLäkemedelsförskrivningen är en viktig komponent inom sjukvården. Använd på rätt sätt är den en relativt säker, effektiv och mindre kostsam form av behandling jämförd med andra terapeutiska åtgärder. Utvärderingen av kvaliteten på läkemedelsförskrivningen är en viktig insats eftersom dålig läkemedelsförskrivning kan leda till onödig sjuklighet för patienten och ökade kostnader för samhället. Drug Utilisation 90 % (DU90) är en ny metod för utvärderingen av läkemedelsförskrivningen. Med hjälp av denna metod identifieras de läkemedel som utgör 90 % av förskrivnings/försäljningsvolymen. Konceptet har utvecklats baserat på antagandet att användning av få produkter är associerat med en mer rationell läkemedelsförskrivning. Baserad på DU90 kan även följsamheten till listan på rekommenderade läkemedel som utfärdas periodvis av Läkemedelskommittéerna, utvärderas inom 90 % av förskrivnings-/försäljningsvolymen. I denna uppsats presenteras en pilotstudie av användbarheten av DU90. Vidare diskuteras DU90 som indikator för kvalitetsutvärdering. Sammanfattningsvis dras slutsatsen att DU90 inte direkt reflekterar kvaliteten på läkemedelsförskrivningen men verkar vara ett användbart verktyg eftersom det kan ge värdefull indikation på terapiområden som behöver vidare analys. DU90 förefaller vara ett snabbt, effektivt och billigt instrument för utvärdering av förskrivningsdata.

Full textABSTRACT Aim The purpose of this paper is to examine whether Swedish “ungdomsmottagningar” (youth center for services and counseling of sexual and reproductive health) have been given similar opportunities to work in a quality safe way from the policy documents that a sample of clinics use. Today all ”ungdomsmottagningar” are providing care without national mandate, by different healthcare providors and without homogenous mission. This could be a reason for the vast differences reported, in for example in competence, structure and access. There is a risk that the result is a lack of quality of care. Method The various policy documents from the youth centers are examined through a qualitative analytical content approach. The quality areas presented in the National Board of Health and Welfare directive on "Good Care" are searched in the documents. Result The policy documents examined give an overall impression of what a youth center is about. They all have one main goal with essentially the same purpose: to strengthen young people's physical and psychological health, strengthen their identity development toward a safe and responsible sexuality. Their mission is also to prevent unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. This goal only defines the framework around the “youth centers”. The policy documents studied show major differences, especially in the detailing of described goals as well as in monitoring and improving quality of work. The documents that best matches ”good care” are more general but leave more room for interpretation on numerous factors, including staffing and principals. This could lead to large differences between the youth centers, which also are demonstrated in Swedish studies and reports. Further research on how staff and principals are perceived by the youth centers mission is needed to strengthen this explannation. Conclusion Based on the reviewed documents it can be said that all youth centers have not received similar conditions to work in a quality safe manner from what Good Care indicates. All policy documents indicate, in principle, the same overall objective. The common goal seems to exist but how to reach it, is still uncertain. The common guide is missing.

Na fase 2, utilizou-se um instrumento (questionÃrio) aplicado aos cirurgiÃes-dentistas atuantes na EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia do Estado, onde se indagou a respeito do conhecimento deles sobre os indicadores de SaÃde Bucal e como costumavam informar as aÃÃes de SaÃde Bucal que realizavam diariamente nas Unidades BÃsicas de SaÃde da FamÃlia (UBASF) e nos demais espaÃos sociais em que atuavam. Os dados da fase 1 foram analisados por intermÃdio de regressÃo linear e associaÃÃo entre variÃveis, cuja anÃlise demonstrou que houve crescimento percentual estatisticamente significante de cobertura populacional por equipes de SaÃde da FamÃlia e SaÃde Bucal.NÃo houve melhoria significante nos indicadores de SaÃde Bucal, evidenciando-se sua estagnaÃÃo no decorrer da sÃrie histÃrica. Observou-se que hà divergÃncias entre a interpretaÃÃo dos objetivos dos indicadores e o registro dos dados relativos Ãs aÃÃes de SaÃde Bucal pelos cirurgiÃes-dentistas atuantes na EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia e as orientaÃÃes do MinistÃrio da SaÃde, havendo a necessidade de serem implementadas medidas de capacitaÃÃo permanente para esclarecer aspectos relacionados aos indicadores de SaÃde Bucal.
Monitoring and evaluation of health services are indispensable steps in the process of implementation of health policies. Trustworthy health information is relevant to subsidize the planning and the decision-making. Familyâs Health Strategy, understood as the primary access mechanism of the users to health actions, provides data related to the implementation of activities within its scope through the information systems. This study aimed to analyze the Oral Health Indicators of the Primary Attention Pact within the State of CearÃ, checking the percentage of the population assisted by the Familyâs Health Strategy and Oral Health Program, the presentation of Oral Health Indicators in the historical series proposed and how the information, which generates indicators, is provided by the professionals in charge. This work consisted of two stages. In stage 1 it was compiled data on the populationâs coverage of the actions of the Familyâs Health Strategy and Oral Health Program and the Oral Health Indicators of the Primary Care recommended by the Ministry of Health within the State of CearÃ. It was used information concerning the historical series between the years 2001 and 2007, when the Ministry of Health began to fund cities, as an incentive for inserting dentist surgeons in the Familyâs Health teams in Brazil. These data were obtained through the website of the Ministry of Health and complemented by the Oral Health Care Department of the Secretary of Health of the State of CearÃ. They were arranged in Excel charts and it was considered statistically significant the differential analyses whose p-value was less than 0.05. The data were processed in the program so-called SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences). In stage 2, it was used an instrument (questionnaire) applied to dentist surgeons who participate in the Familyâs Health Strategy in CearÃ, where they were asked about their knowledge about the Oral Health Indicators and how they used to inform the Oral Health actions that they carried out daily in the Basic Units of Health Family and some other social spaces where they worked in. The stage 1 data were analyzed using linear regression and association between variables. It was verified that there was percentage growth of populationâs coverage of the historical series of the Familyâs Health Teams and Oral Health was statistically relevant. There was no statistically significant improvement in the Oral Health indicators, giving evidence of the stagnation of the members during the historical series. It was noticed that there are misunderstandings about the interpretation of the indicators and in the registry of the data related to the Oral Health actions by dentist surgeons operating in the Familyâs Health Strategy and orientation of Ministry of Health, with the necessity of implementation of measures of permanent training to clarify aspects concerning the Oral Health Indicators.

Full textThe improvement of the process of evaluation and monitoring of the Primary Care Attention has been yearned by the managers of the different spheres in the context of the Unified System Health - UHS. Thus, in the order to identify the conditions of the health assistance in the city of Araraquara, SP, based on the particular features presented in the inscribe areas of each unit of health. It was adopted by means of a composed indicator aiming to favor a broader view which comtemplates the emergency of phenomena from a more including vision. It was used the methodology developed in the Index of Health of Drumond Jr, whose final value of the Index is gotten by the average of the values of the components of each health district. To the components originally adopted - Coefficient of Infant Mortality, Coefficient of Tuberculosis Incidence of, Coefficient of Mortality by External Causes and Coefficient of Precocious Mortality by Chronic Diseases - was still added in this study, the Tax of Alfabetization and the Monthly Nominal Average Income of Responsible People for the Domiciles. The 24 Units of Health had been classified according to values obtained in the relation among its components. The results point intraurban differentials in relation to the majority of the components and minors values of the Health Units at the periphery of the city.

Full textBackground: Hospitalizations for Sensitive Conditions to Primary Health Care (HSCPHC) are a group of health problems, for which access to Primary Health Care services and effective actions could reduce the occurrence of these hospitalizations, making them an outcome indicator for quality and access to this level of attention. Thus, the HSCPHC indicator was analyzed, looking for factors associated with its occurrence, in order to evaluate its capacity to verify the resolution of basic care. Methods: A descriptive exploratory analysis of the HSCPHC was carried out in the seven macro-regions of health and 30 health regions of Rio Grande do Sul, based on the Family Health Coverage, followed by a review of the indexed production on HSCBC, with the objective of verify which factors are correlated with the HSCPHC outcome. Finally, an ecological study with aggregate measures was developed, testing the degree of linear correlation between the variables selected from the review using Spearman's correlation coefficient Results: A number of factors correlated with the occurrence of HSCPHC were found in the literature, both in terms of the availability of health services and in the socioeconomic perspective. In relation to Rio Grande do Sul reality, we found a correlation of HSCBC with number of hospital beds (p = 0.002), Proportion of people with health plans (p = 0.001), HDI (p = 0.004) and illiteracy (p = 0.001) and population younger than four years (p = 0.001). Considerations: The HSCPHC indicator fulfills its objective of making the situation of Primary Health Care in the various possibilities of territorial cuts comparable in a synthetic way. However, the variables that interfere in this outcome are diverse, operating differently in each context and requiring further study. As a subsidy for policies and actions to qualify Primary Health Care, the change in this indicator will only occur when this data serves as an initial device to understand complex and local processes that will occur through processes of permanent education.

A necessidade de se avaliar as políticas de saúde implementadas para a estruturação da atenção primária em todo o território nacional levou o Ministério da Saúde a institucionalizar indicadores de avaliação já utilizados em diversos países, entre eles, as Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária (ICSAP). Objetivo: Avaliar a atenção primária no Estado de Minas Gerais entre 2000 e 2011, com o uso do indicador ICSAP. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo ecológico dos municípios mineiros, utilizando dados do Sistema de Informação Hospitalar, Sistema de Informação Ambulatorial, Departamento de Informática do Sistema Único Brasileiro, Censos 2000-2010 e dados do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. A dimensão espacial correspondeu ao estado de Minas Gerais e a dimensão temporal teve como limites os anos de 2000 e 2011. Ambas foram submetidas a três recortes, para que a análise das ICSAP fossem realizadas sob diferentes perspectivas. Utilizou-se os municípios mineiros como unidades de análise, agregando-os por Regionais de Saúde (RS). Analisou-se as taxas de ICSAP quanto à permanência hospitalar, proporção de óbitos e relação com a cobertura pela Saúde da Família. Foram comparados os anos de 2000 e 2010. Posteriormente os municípios foram analisados no triênio 2009-2011, utilizando-se a análise das internações por infecções de rins e trato urinário sensíveis à atenção primária (IRTU-CSAP) em indivíduos enrte 40 e 59 anos, agregando-os por RS, porte populacional e cobertura pela saúde da família. As IRTU-CSAP foram analisadas, por sexo, quanto à permanência hospitalar, proporção de óbitos e os gastos com as internações. Por fim, analisou-se as causas mais freqüentes de ICSAP por sexo e faixa etária no município de Juiz de Fora, comparando-se os quadriênios 2002-2005 e 2006-2009. Para as análises estatísticas foram utilizados o Teste t para dados pareados, Anova seguida do teste post hoc de Scheffe e Dunnett T3 e correlação de pearson. Resultados: As taxas gerais de ICSAP no estado diminuíram entre 2000 e 2010, mas não foram observadas correlação com a expansão da Estratégia de Saúde da Família. As RS que apresentaram maiores taxas foram as de Ubá e Leopoldina. As causas mais freqüentes das hospitalizações foram a Insuficiência Cardíaca e as Gastroenterites. Algumas causas apresentaram aumento das taxas, a exemplo das Infecções de Rim e Trato Urinário, tornando-se a terceira causa mais freqüente no estado, em 2010. A permanência hospitalar e a proporção de óbitos por ICSAP aumentaram no estado. Juiz de Fora se destacou por ser sede de uma das 7 duas únicas RS que apresentaram elevação das taxas de ICSAP no estado. Conclusão: As iniciativas governamentais, como a expansão da Estratégia de Saúde da Família e a Regionalização da Saúde, não foram efetivas para a diminuição das internações por condições sensíveis à atenção primária em Minas Gerais. As características dos municípios influenciaram de formas distintas no comportamento das taxas, permanência hospitalar e proporção de óbitos por ICSAP. Evidencia-se aumento das desigualdades entre algumas Regionais de Saúde, o que alerta para a necessidade de se priorizar a estruturação da atenção primária em regiões do estado onde as internações potencialmente evitáveis permanecem mais elevadas.
The need to evaluate the health policies implemented for the structuring of primary care nationwide prompted the Ministry of Health to institutionalize assessment indicators already in use in several countries, including the indicator Hospitalizations for Primary Health Care Sensitive Conditions (HPHSC). Objective: To evaluate the primary care in the State of Minas Gerais, between 2000 and 2011, using the indicator HSPHC. Methods: This is an ecological study of Minas Gerais municipalities, using data from the Hospital Informations System, Ambulatory Information System, Computing Department of System Unique of Healph, and 2000- 2010 Census data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The spatial dimension corresponded to the state of Minas Gerais and the temporal dimension was limited to the years between 2000 and 2011. Both were subjected to three selections, so that an analysis of HPHSC were performed under different views. Used the Minas Gerais municipalities as units of analysis, aggregating them by Regionals Health (RH). HPHSC rates were analyzed regarding to hospital stay, proportion of deaths and the relation with coverage by Family Health. The years between 2000 and 2010 were compared. Subsequently, the cities were analyzed in the three-years period 2009-2011, using the analysis of hospitalizations for infections of the kidneys and urinary tract sensitive to primary health (IKUT-PH) in individuals from 40 to 59 years, aggregated by RH, population size and coverage by family health. The IKUT-PH were analyzed by sex, regarding to hospital stay, number of deaths and costs of hospitalizations. Finally, were analyzed the most frequent causes of HPHSC by sex and age in the city of Juiz de Fora, comparing the four-years periods 2002-2005 and 2006-2009. For statistical analyzes we used the t test for paired data, ANOVA followed by post hoc Dunnett T3 and Scheffe test and correlation of Pearson. Results: Overall rates of HPHSC in the state declined between 2000 and 2010, but were not verified any correlations with the expansion on the Family Health Strategy. The RH showed that the highest rates were in Ubá and Leopoldina. The most frequent causes of hospitalization were heart failure and gastroenteritis. Some causes had higher rates, such as infections of the Kidney and Urinary Tract, making it the third most frequent cause in the state in 2010. The hospital stay and the proportion of deaths for HPHSC increased in the state. Juiz de Fora is highlighted as home to one of only two RH in which the HPHSC rate increased in the State. Conclusion: The governmental actions, such as the expansion of the Family Health Strategy and the Health Regionalization, were not efective on decreasing the HPHSC in Minas Gerais. The characteristics of the municipalities affected in different ways in the behavior of rates, hospital stay and proportion of deaths by HPHSC. It is evidenced an increase in inequalities among the Regionals Health, what warns to the need of structuring the primary care in some regions of the State where the hospitalization due to potentially avoidable causes remains high.

Hospitalization for Primary Care Sensitive Conditions is a set of pathology groups attended in tertiary health services that should have been, a priori, remedied and/or controlled by effective health actions in the primary care. Thus, this research is justified by the need to experience these hospitalizations as an indicator of access and quality of the Brazilian primary care. For this, the objective is to build a Synthetic Statistical Indicator able to provide data on dialogicity between Hospitalization for Primary Care Sensitive Conditions and health actions offered in the Strategy Units of the Family Health throughout the national territory, besides understanding the temporal evolution of the occurrence of Hospitalization for Primary Care Sensitive Conditions in Brazil and in cities with extreme scores in the indicator from the socio-political and economic implications that interfere in health care offered at the primary level of health care. The thesis defended is that the existence of a synthetic statistical indicator able to support decision making in the Family Health Units will assist the reference and counter reference system, providing safety and quickness to it. It is an ecological study of quantitative and qualitative approaches conducted from the secondary database of Hospital Information System with a selection of the absolute frequencies of the main Diagnosis for hospitalization of diseases sensitive to primary care per Brazilian city with over 100,000 inhabitants from 2009 to 2014, followed by groups of pathologies transformed into rates per 10,000 inhabitants and processed by the Principal Component Analysis technique with the help of TabNet Win 32 2.7 tools, Excel for Windows and software R 3.0.3. Qualitative analysis was funded by situationality analysis. The results showed a trend to reducing Hospitalization for Primary Care Sensitive Conditions in recent years, especially the ones standing out with the higher percentages, which are pneumonia, cerebrovascular disease and heart failure. Among Brazilian regions, despite presenting approximate values in rates, the North and the Southeast stood out for the highest and lowest incidence of these hospitalizations, respectively. The Main Component Analysis method was used from the data covariance matrix to support the construction of a Synthetic Statistical Indicator and the ranking of cities. In 2014, Nilópolis in the state of Rio de Janeiro and Altamira in the state of Pará occupied the best and worst position among the cities studied. It was also noticed that the majority of the fifteen worst cities were located in the North and Northeast. In the score in classes according to the indicator, a low percentage of cities in intermediate and poor classes was registered. Although progress is perceived in the context of primary health care in Brazil, the prospect of total reduction of ICSAP to minimum, as it is desirable, is still at the level of utopias. The use of this synthetic indicator will be a powerful tool to service managers in order to subsidize proposals for health actions in the territories under their responsibility in situations requiring greater attention in this field.
Denomina-se Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária um conjunto de grupos de patologias atendidas nos serviços de saúde terciários que deveriam ter sido, a priori, sanados e ou controlados por atos e ações de saúde efetivas na atenção primária. Assim, a presente investigação se justifica pela necessidade de experimentar essas internações como indicador de acesso e qualidade da atenção básica brasileira. Para isso, lança-se por objetivo construir um Indicador Estatístico Sintético capaz de fornecer dados relativos à dialogicidade entre as Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária e as ações de saúde ofertadas nas Unidades da Estratégia Saúde da Família em todo o território nacional, além de compreender a evolução temporal da ocorrência das Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária no Brasil e nas cidades com escores extremos no indicador a partir das implicações sócio-político-econômicas que interferem nas ações de saúde ofertadas no nível primário de atenção à saúde. Defende-se a tese que a existência de um indicador estatístico sintético capaz de fundamentar as tomadas de decisão nas Unidades de Saúde da Família auxiliará o sistema de referência e contra referência, dando-lhe segurança e rapidez. Trata-se de estudo ecológico de abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa, realizado a partir da base de dados secundários do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares com seleção das frequências absolutas do Diagnóstico principal da internação das patologias sensíveis à atenção primária por cidades brasileiras com mais de 100.000 habitantes nos anos de 2009 a 2014, seguido de agrupamentos de patologias, transformadas em taxas por 10.000 habitantes e processados através da técnica de Análise de Componentes Principais com auxílio das ferramentas TabNetWin 32 2.7, Excel for Windows e software R 3.0.3. A análise qualitativa foi subsidiada pela análise de situacionalidade. Os resultados demonstraram uma tendência à redução das Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária nos últimos anos, destacando-se entre as condições com elevados percentuais de internações, as pneumonias, as doenças cerebrovasculares e a insuficiência cardíaca. Entre as regiões brasileiras, apesar de apresentarem valores aproximados em taxas, o Norte e o Sudeste se destacaram pela maior e menor incidência destas internações, respectivamente. Foi utilizado o método de Análise de Componentes Principais a partir da matriz de covariância dos dados para fundamentar a construção do Indicador Estatístico Sintético e o ranqueamento dos municípios. Em 2014, Nilópolis, no estado do Rio de Janeiro e Altamira no Pará ocuparam a melhor e pior posição entre os municípios estudados. Evidenciou-se também, que a maioria dos 15 piores municípios estava localizada nas regiões Norte e Nordeste do país. No escore em classes a partir indicador registra-se um baixo percentual de municípios nas classes intermediária e ruim. Embora avanços sejam percebidos no quadro da atenção primária à saúde no Brasil, a perspectiva de redução total das ICSAP a valores mínimos, como é desejável, ainda se encontra no plano das utopias. A utilização do presente indicador sintético poderá constituir-se um potente instrumento a serviço dos gestores no sentido de subsidiar propostas de ações de saúde nos territórios sob sua responsabilidade em situações que necessitem de maior atenção neste campo.

A Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) configura-se como uma das formas mais abrangentes dos serviços de saúde, contemplando a assistência à população por meio de ações de prevenção e promoção da saúde assim como através de cuidados às doenças crônicas mais prevalentes na população; sendo a Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) sua forma de atuação mais próxima da realidade dos usuários. Diante da relevância da APS no cenário de saúde pública atualmente, se fazem presentes muitos estudos que objetivam avaliá-la, sendo abordada neste estudo a avaliação da APS através do indicador de Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária (ICSAP). As ICSAP podem ser definidas como internações por doenças preveníveis através de uma APS eficaz e resolutiva, e os números elevados de ICSAP trazem à tona significados relacionados a problemas pertinentes à APS e como os usuários as vivenciam. Esta vivência dos usuários pelos serviços de APS, abordando as ICSAP torna-se possível através da análise dos caminhos percorridos pelos usuários em busca de cuidados de saúde: os Itinerários Terapêuticos (IT). Diante disto, optou-se por construir um trabalho de pesquisa qualitativa com os objetivos de avaliar a APS baseado no indicador de ICSAP sob a perspectiva do usuário tendo como base os itinerários terapêuticos por eles vivenciados; conhecer os IT percorridos pelos usuários e discutir os fatores relacionados às internações. O cenário do estudo foi o município de Cataguases, Minas Gerais, contemplando trinta participantes que sofreram hospitalizações por CSAP. A partir das histórias ouvidas durante as entrevistas e analisadas através da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin permitiu-se extrair as seguintes categorias de análise: caracterização dos participantes; a APS na perspectiva dos usuários dos serviços de saúde; os aspectos relacionados ao processo de internação e a análise da APS embasada nos IT percorridos pelos usuários dos serviços de saúde. Os resultados apontaram que a maioria dos participantes se internou por doenças cerebrovasculares (23,3%). Os usuários relataram algumas dificuldades de acesso, bem como nos serviços de referência a consultas especializadas e aporte de exames. Em relação aos aspectos relacionados ao processo de internação observou-se que os usuários mantinham hábitos de vida não saudáveis como tabagismo, e não possuíam conhecimento e adesão às atividades de prevenção e promoção da saúde desenvolvidas pelas ESF do município. Ao analisar intimamente os IT foi possível compreender que os usuários recorrem em sua maioria ao Pronto Socorro (PS) como principal porta de entrada, sendo este fator significativo para repensarmos as políticas voltadas ao entendimento dos usuários acerca da diferenciação da assistência à saúde, bem como de melhorias empregadas na APS.
The Primary Health Care (PHC) is one of most embracing ways of the health service, contemplating the assistance to population by prevention actions and promotion of health as well as care to the most prevalent chronic diseases in the population; being the Family Health Strategy (FHS) the closest form from user’s reality. Given the relevance of PHC in the public health scenario nowadays, there are many studies that aim to evaluated it, being approached in this study the evaluation of PHC through the indicator of Hospitalization Primary Care Sensitivity (HPCS). The HPCS can be defined as the Hospitalizations for preventive diseases through effective and resolutive PHC, and the high numbers of HPCS brings up meanings related to relevant issues to PHC and how users experience it. The users experience by PHC services, approaching HPCS becomes possible through the analysis of the paths covered by the users searching for health care: the Therapeutic Itineraries (TI). In light of this, it was decided to do a qualitative research paper work aiming the evaluation of the PHC basing at the HPCS indicator under user’s perspective grounded on the therapeutic itineraries they experienced; knowing the TI covered by users and discuss the related factors to hospitalizations. The case scenario was the city of Cataguases, Minas Gerais, embracing thirty participants who had been hospitalized for HPCS. From the stories heard during the interviews and analysed through the Bardin Content Analysis was allow to extract the follow analysis categories: participants characterizations, the PHC under user’s perspective; aspects related to the admissions process and PHC analysis based on the TI covered by users. The results indicate that the majority of participants were hospitalized for cerebrovascular diseases (23,3%). Users reported some access difficulties, as well as reference services to specialized consultations and exams fee. Regarding the aspects related to the admissions process, it was observed that the users maintained unhealthy lifestyle habits like smoking, and did not have knowledge and adherence to the prevention and health promotion activities developed by the city's FHS. By analysing TI closely, it was possible to understand that users mostly use the First-Aid Post as the main gateway, being this a significant factor to rethinking the policies aimed the user’s understanding about the differentiation of health care, as well as improvements made in PHC.

Full textThe Primary Health Care - PHC is recognized as the primary and gateway to the health care system, and the proper place where it can be answered and solved most health problems. It is considered by WHO as the main tender treatment model. This importance of APS leads to the need for evaluative research of their results to adapt and improve policies and action plans outlined in relation to it. International and national surveys are conducted, in which indicators related to hospital activities are being employed with the aim of measuring effectiveness and access to PHC. One of these indicators, developed by John Billings of the University of New York in the 90s, consists of the conditions for which hospitalizations for Ambulatory Care Sensitive Conditions (ACSC) should be avoided if the PHC services were effective and accessible. Using the Brazilian list of ACSC, published in 2008, and SIH-AIH/2008 the purpose of this paper is to study the primary health care based on the hospitalization for ACSC, in the urban area Juiz de Fora-MG city. We tried to answer about the effects that occur in these admissions from the characteristics of individual patients, the characteristics of the Primary Health Care Unit-PHCU (infrastructure, production and care models) and the social conditions of the areas covered (with PHCU) and discoveries (not PHCU), with the use of multilevel logistic models with random intercept. We tried to know, too, the spatial distribution of standardized rates by age in these areas and their associations with contextual variables, using the tools of spatial analysis. The results of this study showed that the percentage of admissions for ACSC was 4.1%. Family Heath Strategy and Traditional models, the base of organization of primary care in Brazil, had no significant impact on the hospitalizations, only when analysed in form to uncovered areas with reference to the areas covered. Nor were significant variables for infrastructure and production of PHCU. The individual effects (age and sex) in ACSC were significant, with significance probabilities less than 1%, as did the Social Development Index-SDI, which includes the social, economic and environmental conditions in these areas examined. The spatial distribution of standardized rates by age showed random pattern and tests of Lagrange multipliers were not significant indicating the classical regression model (OLS) to explain these rates. For the joint analysis of covered and uncovered areas were risk factors: the economic variable (% of households with incomes up to 2 MW), the uncovered areas with reference to the areas covered and the Northeast. For areas covered variables economic, production from PHCU and Northeast were risk factors for admission rates for ACSC.

Full textO início da reforma dos cuidados de saúde primários aconteceu em 2005, com o Programa do XVII Governo Constitucional, que tinha como objetivo “atribuir uma particular relevância à reestruturação dos centros de saúde, pela proximidade ao cidadão e pelo contributo que dão à melhoria dos níveis de vida dos Portugueses. ” (Decreto-Lei n.º 88, 2005, p. 3606) Em 2006, surgiram as Unidades de Saúde Familiar (USF) como o primeiro movimento da reforma. As USF são unidades funcionais com autonomia administrativa, técnica e funcional que se organizaram de forma voluntária, que visam a prestação de serviços de qualidade e de proximidade, baseando-se numa nova forma de organizar a acessibilidade do utente à saúde. Em 2008 foram criados os Agrupamentos de Centros de Saúde (ACeS), segundo movimento da reforma. Os ACeS têm como objetivos a eficiência e economia de escala, aplicados à agregação de recursos e das estruturas de gestão. Estes agrupamentos passaram a ser constituídos por diversas unidades funcionais, entre elas as USF e as Unidades de Cuidados de Saúde Personalizados (UCSP).Através da realização de um estudo de caso no ACeS de Oeiras, observaram-se os resultados de seis dos indicadores comuns contratualizados pelas USF e pelas UCSP, entre 2009 e 2011, com o objetivo de compreender as novas formas de organização. Estes indicadores representam quatro áreas: o acesso, o desempenho assistencial, a satisfação e o desempenho económico. O estudo permitiu concluir que as USF obtiveram melhores resultados no triénio em análise, e que as UCSP levaram mais tempo a adaptar-se aos sistemas de informação e à nova forma organizativa, mas no último ano em análise (2011), os seus resultados melhoraram.
The primary health care reform began in 2005 with the XVII Constitutional Government Programme. This Program aimed "to give a strong input to the restructuration of the health centers, due to their proximity to the citizens and due to the contribution they make on the improvement of the life quality of the Portuguese people. "(Decreto-Lei n. º 88, 2005, p.3606). In 2006 were created the Family-Health Units (USF). These voluntarily self-created teams have administrative, technical and functional autonomy and aim to assure health services marked by outstanding quality and proximity, based on a new form of organization. In order to increase the scale efficiency and economy were created, in 2008, the Health-Centers Groups (ACeS), clusters which role was to aggregate resources and management structures, that are presently composed of several functional units such as the USF and UCSP. In this study we approached the ACeS Oeiras. We analyzed the results of six indicators (People access, assistance performance, satisfaction and economic performance) that are common to USFs and UCSP, between 2009 and 2011. Our goal was to understand the impact of the new forms of organization. Among other things, we concluded that USF performed better, that UCSP took longer to adapt to both the software and to the new organization, but their results improved in 2011.

Full textAccording to a report on the health situation in the world, from WHO in 2006, about a quarter of the global total of disease is due to preventable environmental causes. Assuming that the health-environment interface is still inserted in the incipient health practice, it becomes important to obtain knowledge about how the Environmental Health is incorporated, in fact, in health care in the logic of Primary Health Care (PHC) model of care in the Family Health Strategy (FHS). The aim of this study was to analyze the insertion of Environmental Health 8 (100 %) of the FHS services of a city in Minas Gerais, in the light of environmental factors prioritized for action in the field of environmental health surveillance, PAHO / WHO and Subsystem National Environmental Health Surveillance (SINVSA). This is an exploratory - descriptive approach and mixed (qualitative and quantitative). The data generation was done through focus groups (FG), interviews and document analysis. The GF and interviews were conducted with 40 (45.97 %) subjects of family health teams in this investigation. For documentary analysis was used Check List, constructed from the environmental risk factors taken as reference. We evaluated 132 (1.8 %) records of all families enrolled in the services surveyed. With the application of Thematic Content Analysis were categorized four thematic units: environmental determinants in the design of the health - disease family health teams; environmental determinants in health care developed in the ESF; environmental determinants in the territories of family health teams and, knowledge of Family Health Teams of Environmental Health. The subjects in his testimony revealed, in a way, an expanded concept of the health-disease process, once largely addressed other aspects, besides the physical, the concept of health, without, however, have been observed in their testimony, meant for environmental factors. Also, with regard to actions in their daily lives, revealed actions with a focus on health promotion and prevention and treatment of diseases, also without citing aspects of Environmental Health. On the other hand, were found in the records 67 records actions related to environmental factors, the community health agents (CHA). The divergence between discourse and activity log lets assume a practice of disjointed actions and even mechanized, without meaning to his actors, with regard to the object of study. The subjects\' responses on determinants covered various factors that correspond to areas prioritized by PAHO / WHO and SINVSA, such as vectors, reservoirs and hosts, venomous animals, water quality for human consumption, chemical contaminants and natural environmental disasters. Comparing with the documents analyzed, such areas were not identified in the same proportion as in GF and interview. When considering the set of discourses, some factors related to Environmental Health were identified, but in a fragmented way, although the grouping them we could perceive a connection with the concept of Environmental Health. However, the results revealed weaknesses in the design and action of the subjects in terms of sustaining the design and content of Environmental Health in their practice, confirming the hypothesis that the process of insertion of Environmental Health in the context of the Family Health Strategy the studied community is incipient in the practice of health and well short of praxis in health

Full textThe family health program (PSF) incorporates and reaffirms the principles of the SUS and is structured from the family health unit, which aims to organize their actions under the principles of comprehensiveness and tiering, territoriality and customer registration, from a multidisciplinary team. The objective of this study was to evaluate through trend charts, whether the PSF expansion was accompanied by improvements in child health in municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro, between 1998 and 2010. The analysis was done by relating graphically using hospital services such as hospitalizations for pneumonia and dehydration in children, Pediatric procedures such as breastfeeding rates, use of oral rehydration therapy and childcare queries, with the coverage rate of the program. The PSF expansion seemed to be relatively little associated with increase in number of childcare queries in breastfeeding rates and the use of oral rehydration therapy and reduction in hospitalizations for pneumonia and dehydration property. These seemingly poor associations suggest that the PSF may not be generating the desired results. Of course, additional studies are needed to examine these associations.

Full textThe present energy use structure in the Brazilian industrial sector is a consequence of its historical context within the Brazilian energy sector. This historical background helps to explain some characteristics, like the intensive use of electricity in heating processes, the electrothermia, that lasts until today. The current natural gas production scenario in Brazil is promising, considering the Pre-Salt production, which signals an opportunity to apply this natural resource to final energy uses with higher value, such as final energy for industry. In this context was structured this dissertation, comprising a data analysis technique development and its application to evaluate the insertion of natural gas in the Brazilian industrial sector and its impacts. The developed data analysis technique is constituted by the assessment of four indicators: Additional Demand (DA); Impact on Primary Energy (IEP); Impact on Carbon Emissions (IEC) and Impact on Energy Cost (ICE). In the results obtained, the Non-Ferrous Metals Sector was more prominent as it presented the greater additional demand for natural gas and the largest reductions in primary energy demand, CO2 emissions and energy costs. Other sectors that stood out were the Iron and Steel Sector and the Food and Beverages Sector. Considering 2013 as the base year, the additional demand for natural gas resulting from the substitution of fuel oil and electricity in heating processes would represent a 37% to 42% increase in the demand for natural gas in the Brazilian industrial sector, equivalent to 12% to 14% of Brazil\'s domestic natural gas supply, or 35% to 40% of Gasbol\'s maximum capacity. The impact on primary energy would represent a reduction of 1% to 2% of the primary energy demand of the Brazilian industrial sector. The impact on CO2 emissions would represent a reduction of 4% to 5% of the CO2 emissions associated to energy use of the Brazilian industrial sector. The impact on energy cost would represent a reduction of 2% to 4% of the energy costs associated with electricity and fuel oil of the Brazilian industrial sector. Thus, it is considered that there is an opportunity for the insertion of natural gas in the Brazilian industrial sector resulting from the substitution of fuel oil and electricity by natural gas in thermal processes. Overall, the substitution impacts reduce primary energy demand, CO2 emissions and energy costs. However, this is an energy-saving initiative through energy substitution, being necessary to further promote energy efficiency, for all end uses and types of final energy in use, to multiply the impacts in terms of reducing energy consumption and mitigating emissions, two important elements in the current debate on combating climate change.

Resumo: A inclusão de ações de saúde mental junto às equipes de Atenção Primária tem importante relevância se considerada a magnitude epidemiológica dos transtornos mentais e a necessidade de ampliação do acesso aos cuidados em saúde mental na rede SUS. Esta tem sido uma prioridade da Política Nacional de Saúde Mental para Atenção Primária do Ministério da Saúde e muitos municípios brasileiros têm experiências consolidadas neste campo. Entretanto, constata-se que a avaliação das ações de saúde mental na atenção primária no SUS ainda estão voltadas para experiências locais e não há estudos sobre estratégias de avaliação de alcance nacional, de forma a apontar as diretrizes das políticas que orientam este campo e as evidências quantitativas e qualitativas que devem orientar as equipes da rede básica. Este estudo visou construir subsídios para uma política de avaliação e monitoramento das ações de saúde mental na atenção primária, em diálogo com a Reforma Sanitária, Reforma Psiquiátrica e da Atenção Primária. A pesquisa se caracteriza como qualitativa avaliativa, com a utilização de diferentes técnicas para coleta de dados: análise documental, revisão narrativa da literatura e a realização de Painel de Especialistas para construção de consensos sobre indicadores e parâmetros de saúde mental para a atenção primária. A partir da análise de documentos da Política Nacional de Saúde Mental e da Política Nacional de Atenção Primária, e a partir da revisão da literatura foram identificadas seis categorias de análise, destacadas como relevantes para avaliar as ações de saúde mental na atenção primária: 1) dimensionamento da demanda de saúde mental; 2) clínica da saúde mental na atenção primária ou clínica da atenção primária com saúde mental; 3) acesso aos cuidados em saúde mental na atenção primária (barreiras e condições de acessibilidade); 4) arranjos e dispositivos de atenção em saúde mental; 5) gestão em saúde e saúde mental e 6) formação em saúde mental na atenção primária. Com esta análise foi criada uma matriz com indicadores preliminares de acesso e efetividade dos cuidados em saúde mental na APS, que foram apresentados a um Painel de Especialistas, para a produção de consensos. O painel teve 5 representantes de profissionais de atenção primária e saúde mental, gestores e acadêmicos. Este consenso estabeleceu 32 indicadores quantitativos e qualitativos que abrangem as seis categorias referenciadas, que poderão dar subsídios aos processos avaliativos realizados desde as equipes de Saúde da Família até os níveis de gestão municipal, estadual e federal
Abstract: Inclusion of mental health initiatives in the work of family health teams has an important relevance if we consider epidemiological magnitude of mental health disorders and the need of increasing access for mental health care in the Brazilian Public Health System (SUS). This has been a priority of the Brazilian Mental Health Policy for primary care in the Ministry of Health and many Brazilian cities have reliable and positive experiences in this area. Evaluation of mental health initiatives in primary care in the SUS are still focused in local experiences. There is a gap of a nation-wide evaluation strategy in order to point out principles of mental health policies for primary care and to indicate quantitative and qualitative evidence to support decisions taken by primary health. This study aimed at offering elements for an evaluation and monitoring policy on mental health initiatives in primary care taking into consideration the Health Reform, Psychiatric Reform and Primary Care. Different techniques were used in this qualitative evaluation research to collect data: document analysis, narrative literature review, and an expert panel to reach consensus about mental health indicators and parameters for primary care. The Brazilian Mental Health Policy and the Brazilian Primary Health Care Policy were analyzed together with the literature review, and six analysis categories were identified as relevant to evaluate mental health initiatives in primary care. Categories were grouped as: 1) Estimating the needs for mental health; 2) Mental health care in primary care or primary care mental health; 3) Access to mental healthcare in primary care; 4) Organizational arrangements of mental healthcare; 5) Health and mental health management; 6) Mental health education in primary care. Based on the categories, a matrix was developed containing preliminary indicators related to access and effectiveness of mental health care in primary care. This matrix was discussed in an expert panel in order to produce consensus. Five experts were selected representing mental health and primary care professionals, national policymakers and academic researchers. Panellists agreed in 32 quantitative and qualitative indicators covering all six categories predefined. Results can provide elements to evaluation processes to be carried out by family health teams and also by policymakers in different levels

Full textO estudo avaliou o desempenho do gerenciamento dos Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (RSS) em quatro Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS) do Município de São Paulo, Brasil. Foi desenvolvida ferramenta para caracterizar as unidades quanto ao sistema gerencial, identificar e quantificar os resíduos gerados e levantar o grau de atendimento ao marco legalregulatório vigente. Com apoio desta ferramenta, foram realizadas duas avaliações da situação do gerenciamento dos RSS, em cada UBS: uma prévia (fev./2011) e outra, pós-intervenção (fev./2012). A avaliação prévia permitiu elaboração de um Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos de Serviços de Saúde (PGRSS) específico para cada UBS, cuja implantação foi acompanhada com intervenção, durante um ano. Na situação prévia, apenas 26 a 30 por cento das regulamentações/normas vigentes eram atendidas pelas UBS, devido à ausência de processos gerenciais sustentáveis e déficit de cuidados básicos quanto à segurança do trabalhador e usuários. Após a intervenção houve pequena melhora, ficando entre 30 e 38 por cento . Uma UBS teve melhora de 11 por cento , enquanto as demais avançaram entre 4 e 5 por cento . A taxa de geração de resíduos comuns/atendimento nas quatro UBS variou de 0,02 a 0,17kg e de resíduos infectantes/atendimento de 0,02 a 0,06kg. Novo indicador de geração foi proposto: taxa de geração de resíduos infectantes por procedimento em áreas críticas, que variou de 0,05 a 0,12kg. A ferramenta de avaliação proposta mostrou-se de fácil aplicação, gerou resultados consistentes e comparáveis e facilitou a elaboração e monitoramento do PGRSS. O marco legal-regulatório, a ferramenta, o PGRSS e o apoio técnico não foram suficientes para aprimorar o gerenciamento dos RSS nas UBS estudadas. Foram identificados como determinantes essenciais para alavancar o desempenho da gestão dos RSS em unidades de atenção básica à saúde: vontade politica e tomada de decisão, recursos humanos e econômicos, informação, capacitação e maior integração entre as atores envolvidos.

Full textThis study is inserted in the subject of Health Inequalities, aiming to identify territorial inequalities in health in 63 health regions of São Paulo state, from selected health indicators according to the perception of the of Primary Care Articulators who act in these regions. It is a descriptive study, of qualitative/quantitative nature, which used Focal Groups to select the indicators with higher capacity to identify health inequalities in a list of 67 indicators obtained from the Public Action Organizational Contract (COAP). Starting from a set of ten chosen indicators were analyzed trends in the time series of the period between 2010 to 2015. Important differences between the regions were identified according to the performance of these indicators and when interpreted in relation to the stratification of the municipalities established by the National Program for Improving Access and Quality of Primary Care (PMAQ), which adopts social, economic and demographic criteria, some of these regions showed similar distribution to those found in PMAQ. The outline adopted in the study focused to health indicators chosen from a specific methodology, believing in its ability to show inequalities in health, many of them unfair, on the state and regional levels, and may mobilize professionals involved in implementing actions towards the reduction of health inequities. The results show significant regional differences for the indicators involved in the study, especially for most health indicators in some regions of the south and west of São Paulo state. Thus, it is believed that the monitoring of these indicators through a timeline approach can provide information for planning of programmatic actions envisaged in public health policies, taking into account the local and regional characteristics in the construction and implementation of measures to meet different needs in different territories.

Health-associated infections (HAI) in non-hospital care is a subject still little explored in literature. Among measures that assist in the prevention and control of HAI is the quality of medical instruments processing which aims to avoid the risks from their use. In order to enable the assessment of medical instruments processing in Primary Health Care (PHC), were adapted and validated quality indicators to assess the practice of medical instruments processing for PHC. Assuming this, it was aimed to diagnose the completeness of the medical instruments processing in PHC health services and assess the usability of the instrument available. This is a study with two arms: the) non-experimental, correlational descriptive and b) methodological study. The hypothesis of this study is that there is difference in the medical instruments processing between Basic Health Units (BHU) and Family Health Centres (FHC). Data collection occurred in the city of São Carlos, in ten health services, selected by convenience. Seven health indicators were applied to evaluate the structure, process and result of that practice. This project was approved by Ethics and Research Committee of UFSCar n° 112,528. The results showed that this activity is a secondary practice in health units observed, because the professionals responsible for this activity are scaled to perform other activities concurrently. There are no records in any health service about medical instruments processing and testing for attesting the effectiveness of the process is not part of routine work. The cleaning process indicator was that had lower overall compliance index (18.18% for BHU and 20.00% for FHC), which deserves attention, given the importance of this step for the subsequent steps. Another point that deserves attention is that literature does not bring standardized information regarding the disinfection of medical instruments, which prevented this component was observed, and therefore suggests an aspect to be studied, so that it can assist professionals responsible for this to carry out disinfection safely for use of medical instruments. Regarding the usability of the indicators, the structure are the most achievable, being followed by the process and result. It should be noted that indicators that require sample are influenced directly by these in terms of implementation time. It is understood the need for studies about this topic on PHC, so that they are established strategies aimed at improving these factors contributing to occupational safety and patient.
As Infecções Relacionadas à Assistência à Saúde (IRAS) em ambiente extra-hospitalar é um tema ainda pouco explorado pela literatura. Dentre as medidas que auxiliam na prevenção e controle das IRAS está a qualidade do processamento de produtos para saúde que visa evitar os riscos advindos de sua utilização. A fim de possibilitar a avaliação da prática de processamento de produtos para saúde na APS, foram adaptados e validados indicadores de qualidade para avaliar a prática do processamento de produtos para saúde na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS). Partindo disto, o presente trabalho objetivou diagnosticar a conformidade do processamento de produtos para saúde em unidades da APS e avaliar a praticabilidade do instrumento disponível. Trata-se de um estudo com dois braços: a) nãoexperimental, correlacional-descritivo e b) estudo metodológico. A hipótese do presente estudo é que haja diferença quanto ao processamento de produtos para saúde entre Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS) e Unidade Saúde da Família (USF). A coleta de dados ocorreu na cidade de São Carlos, em dez unidades de saúde, selecionadas por conveniência. Foram aplicados sete indicadores de saúde para avaliar a estrutura, processo e resultado da referida prática. Trabalho aprovados pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da UFSCar Parecer n° 112.528. Os resultados mostraram que esta atividade é uma prática secundária nas unidades de saúde observadas, pois, os profissionais encarregados pela mesma são escalados para realizarem outras atividades, concomitantemente. Não há registros em nenhuma unidade de saúde sobre o processamento de produtos, e a realização de testes para comprovação da efetividade do processo não faz parte da rotina de trabalho. Os indicadores de processo limpeza foram os que obtiveram menor índice de conformidade (18,18% em UBS e 20% em USF), o que merece atenção, visto a importância desta etapa para as etapas subsequentes. Outro ponto que merece destaque é que a literatura não traz informações padronizadas a respeito da desinfecção de produtos para saúde, o que impediu que este componente fosse observado, e, consequentemente, sugere que seja um aspecto estudado, de modo que possa auxiliar aos profissionais responsáveis pela prática a realizarem a desinfecção de forma segura para uso dos produtos para saúde. Quanto à praticabilidade dos indicadores, os de estrutura são os mais exequíveis, sendo seguidos pelos de resultado e processo. Ressalta-se que indicadores que demandam amostra são influenciados diretamente por estes no quesito tempo de aplicação. Verifica-se a necessidade de estudos para aprofundamento deste tema na APS, de modo que sejam estabelecidas estratégias que visem a melhoria destes fatores, contribuindo para a segurança ocupacional e do paciente.
