ABSTRACT
Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the challenges and opportunities faced by local health council presidents in their practice of participatory governance. In-depth interviews were conducted with six presidents at health posts at six neighborhoods located in a single region in a peripheral neighborhood in Fortaleza. The interviews were complemented by participant observation of local health council meetings conducted over a three-year period (2015-2017), and interviews with presidents of the municipal, regional and state health councils, as well as with more than twenty actors from government agencies and local associations. The data were analyzed with the help of Atlas.ti, and resulted in the identification of four core topics the weakness of community representation, the generation of new health initiatives, the concern with the physical and material infrastructure of the councils, and the linkages between council Presidents and the historical network of community-based organizations (Associações Voluntárias) in the region in which the health posts were situated. The local health councils included in this study faced similar challenges to those documented by prior scholars, but also demonstrated the potential to cultivate local ideas for new health initiatives.
RESUMO
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever os desafios e oportunidades enfrentadas pelos presidentes de conselhos de saúde locais em executar governança participativa. Foram realizadas entrevistas a fundo com seis presidentes de postos de saúde em seis bairros localizados em uma única região em um bairro da periferia de Fortaleza. As entrevistas foram complementadas por observação participante de reuniões de cada conselho de saúde local, realizado durante um período de três anos (2015-2017), e entrevistas com os presidentes dos conselhos de saúde municipais, regionais e estaduais, bem como com mais de vinte atores de agências governamentais e associações locais. Os dados foram analisados usando o Atlas.ti, resultando na identificação de quatro temas principais a fragilidade de representação da comunidade, a criação de novas iniciativas de saúde, a preocupação com a infra-estrutura física e material dos conselhos, e os vínculos entre presidentes de conselho e a histórica rede de organizações de base comunitária (Associações Voluntárias) na região em que os postos de saúde se localizavam. Os conselhos de saúde locais incluídos neste estudo enfrentaram desafios semelhantes àqueles documentadas pelos estudiosos anteriores, mas também demonstraram potencial para cultivar ideias locais para novas iniciativas de saúde.
