ABSTRACT

Objective: To describe the prevalence of clinical-functional vulnerability among older adults cared for in a Primary Health Care Unit (PHCU). Methods: This is a retrospective epidemiological study performed through the review of medical records of 950 elderly users of a PHCU in the northeast region of Belo Horizonte, between August 2016 and July 2017. The score obtained with use of the Clinical-functional Vulnerability Index (IVCF-20) evidenced the clinical-functional vulnerability of the older adults. The PHCU health professionals had been trained and had been implementing the IVCF-20 since the end of 2015. In 2016, the application of IVCF-20 was intensified following training of psychology undergraduates who participated in the Health Work Education Program (Programa de Educação pelo Trabalho para a Saúde - PET-Saúde). Descriptive statistics was applied to IVCF-20 data to verify the frequency of frail older adults and individuals at risk for frailty. Pearson's chi-square test was used to verify association between the IVCF-20 classification and the Family Health Teams. Results: Of 950 older adults included in the study, 49.37% (n=469) had mild clinical-functional vulnerability, considered robust; 28.84% (n=274) had moderate vulnerability, considered at risk for frailty; and 21.79% (n=207) had high vulnerability, regarded as frail. Conclusion: A high prevalence of clinical-functional vulnerability (mild, moderate, and high) was observed among older adults attended to at primary health care services. Screening with IVCF-20 can prove useful for early identification of vulnerable older adults and to indicate the focus of health promotion and preventive interventions. (AU)

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo buscou investigar e compreender a violência vivenciada em unidades básicas de saúde (UBSs) da perspectiva dos processos de trabalho em saúde. A caracterização da violência nesse contexto, ao identificar e compreender os elementos da produção desse fenômeno, contribui para o seu enfrentamento. De cunho descritivo-exploratório, para a coleta de dados a pesquisa utilizou grupos focais e entrevistas com usuários, trabalhadores e gestores do serviço de saúde. O estudo mostra as consequências e os impactos da violência nas UBSs, retratando atitudes geradas pelos episódios de violência, bem como ações preventivas e mecanismos de apoio e suporte. A análise dos resultados marca a necessidade de se fortalecer não só a humanização e a gestão do trabalho em saúde, mas também a formação dos profissionais, atrelada às melhorias nas condições e no ambiente de trabalho e, consequentemente, na prestação dos serviços de saúde.


This study sought to investigate and understand the violence experienced in basic health units (UBS) from the perspective of the work processes carried out in health. The characterization of the violence existing in this context, achieved by identifying and understanding the elements that cause this phenomenon, contributes to combating it. Descriptive and exploratory, this study gathered data from focus groups and interviews carried out among health service users, employees and managers. The investigation shows the consequences and impacts of violence in the UBSs, portraying attitudes generated by episodes of violence, as well as preventive actions and mechanisms of support and assistance. The analysis of the results shows not only there is a need both to strengthen the humanization and management of the work in health and to train the area's professionals, but also that these actions should be linked to improved workplace environment and conditions and, thus, better health service provision.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: Os Centros de Referência em Saúde do Trabalhador são considerados o eixo da implantação da RENAST, sendo responsáveis pelo apoio técnico das ações de saúde do trabalhador nas diferentes instâncias e serviços do SUS. Objetivos: O estudo busca conhecer a situação de organização e funcionamento dos CEREST Regionais, contribuindo para o processo de avaliação do desenvolvimento da RENAST no estado de Minas Gerais, no período de 2002 a 2007. Métodos: A combinação de instrumentos envolveu a análise dos planos de trabalho dos CEREST, entrevistas com coordenadores e representantes do controle social e realização de grupos focais com as equipes técnicas. Resultados: Os resultados mostram dificuldades na definição do papel do CEREST, dilemas sobre a priorização de ações de assistência ou vigilância, necessidade de capacitação das equipes e dificuldades para articulações intra e intersetoriais. Conclusões: Nas recomendações, destacam-se: a necessidade de que os Planos de Trabalho levem em consideração o perfil produtivo regional além da adoção de práticas de avaliação contínua e aperfeiçoamento da gestão, a pactuação de indicadores e metas, e inclusão sistemática dos procedimentos de assistência e vigilância sanitária, epidemiológica e ambiental que envolvem a saúde dos trabalhadores, nos sistemas de registro do SUS.

It was based on a documental analysis of work plans; interviews with coordinators; focus groups with staff, interviews with members of the social control. Results addressed the following main issues: the CEREST roles; the meaning of being a Reference Center in the field of workers´ Health; the dilemma: prioritization been focused on health care or on surveillance; staff training and qualification; and inter-sector relationships: how they should be established? As an outcome, we recommend a review of the act that created RENAST, in order to clarify its role and responsibilities, as well as the criteria for the recognition and appointment of CEREST; the need of a continuous evaluation process and definition of indicators and goals to be achieved; the development of planning processes and their monitoring by the current SUS monitoring and surveillance systems.
