The collaboration between governments and civil society organizations in response to emergency situations

The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of a large-scale emergency that defies public administration. There is a variety of large-scale emergency events, and the government is responsible for responding to such situations. Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) can contribute to a fast and appropriate response to these emergencies. This article discusses the characteristics of CSOs that qualify them to contribute to the government’s emergency responses. We also analyze possible collaborative arrangements between governments and CSOs. © 2020, Fundacao Getulio Vargas. All rights reserved.

Method: A cross-sectional, analytical and exploratory study. The population consisted of users monitored in the Family Health Strategy, diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus, in the municipality of Cuité, Paraíba, Brazil. The sample consisted of 300 participants.

In the bivariate analysis, the Pearson’s Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests were performed, and the prevalence ratio was calculated, along with the respective 95% confidence intervals. Finally, Poisson Regression with robust variance was applied. Results: The prevalence of having high resilience levels was 43% higher in people under 60 years old, 39% higher in Evangelicals, 36% higher in people who consumed alcoholic beverages and 29% higher in people who practiced some physical activity. Conclusion: An association was evidenced between socioeconomic/clinical data and behavioral habits and a high resilience level;such findings lead to the elaboration of inclusive actions during the pandemic, especially considering the emotional and social aspects, in order to suggest the creation of care strategies aimed at mental health. © 2022, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
