La sanidad franquista vista desde la Organización Mundial de la Salud: el Informe Brockington (1967) / Public health in Franco's Spain as seen from the World Health Organization: the Brockington Report (1967)

Se presenta el informe realizado en 1967 por C.F. Brockington, profesor jubilado de la Universidad de Manchester y consultor en Administración de Salud Pública de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), sobre el sistema sanitario español. Para ello se resumen los contenidos, en líneas generales, de las relaciones establecidas entre España y la OMS, y el papel de los consultores. Se traza una semblanza de la personalidad de Brockington y del momento político en que se realizó su viaje, así como de las dificultades que encontraron sus recomendaciones, las cuales, no obstante, pueden verse como contribución seminal a los importantes cambios vividos en el periodo de transición democrática. Se puede acceder al texto completo del informe, traducido al español, en el Apéndice online de este artículo

Políticas da psicologia: histórias e práticas das associações profissionais (CRP e SPESP) de São Paulo, entre a ditadura e a redemocratização do país / Politics of the psychology: histories and practices of the professional associations (CRP and SPESP) of Sao Paulo, between the dictatorship and the democratization of the country / Politiques de la psychologie: des histoires et des pratiques des associations professionnelles (CRP et SPESP) à São Paulo, entre la dictature et la démocratisation du pays / Políticas de la psicología: historias y prácticas de las asociaciones profesionales (CRP y SPESP) de São Paulo, entre la dictadura y la redemocratización del país

O objetivo do nosso trabalho é discutir a história e práticas das associações profissionais com objetivos políticos da psicologia entre o regime militar e o processo de redemocratização do país. Na pesquisa entrevistamos seis ex-participantes de diretorias dessas entidades e fizemos a análise documental de 1076 atas do CRP e do SPESP. Constatamos que no início houve um alinhamento político das entidades com a ditadura militar, quando estas se recusaram a participar de movimentos críticos ao regime e quando premiaram com o título de psicólogo honorário representantes da ditadura militar. No fim da década de 1970, período em que os movimentos sociais ressurgem no Brasil, uma oposição com ideologia de esquerda se organiza e vence as eleições nas duas entidades. Assumem maior caráter político e contribuem com movimentos sociais do país, como a fundação da CUT e o movimento das Diretas Já.(AU)

The aim of our study is to discuss the history and practices of the professional associations of the psychology between the military dictatorship and the process of democratization of the country. We interviewed six former-participants of these entities and we did the documentary analysis of 1076 minutes of the CRP and of the SPESP. We note that in the beginning there was a political alignment of the entities with the military dictatorship, when they refused to participate in critical movements to the military government and when they awarded a prize with the title of honorary psychologist to representatives of the dictatorship. At the end of the 1970s, when social movements reappear in Brazil, an opposition with left-wing ideology gets organized and wins the elections in the two entities. They assume their political character and contribute to social movements in the country, as the foundation of the CUT and the movement of “Diretas Já”.(AU)

L'objectif de notre étude est de discuter l'histoire et les pratiques des associations professionnelles avec des objectifs politiques de la psychologie entre le régime militaire et le processus de démocratisation du pays. Dans la recherche, on a interviewé six ex-participants des conseils de ces entités et fait l'analyse documentaire de 1076 minutes du CRP et SPESP. Nous avons constaté qu’au début il y avait un alignement politique des entités avec la dictature militaire, quand ils ont refusé de participer à des mouvements qui critiquent le régime et quand des représentants de la dictature militaire ont été faits psychologue honoraire par eux. À la fin des années 1970, une période dans laquelle les mouvements sociaux réapparaissent au Brésil, une opposition avec une idéologie de gauche s'organise et remporte les élections dans les deux entités. Ils assument plus de caractère politique et contribuent avec des mouvements sociaux dans le pays, comme la fondation de la CUT et le mouvement "diretas já".(AU)

Case management: evolution of the concept in the 80's and 90's

Case Management is a term that is present in almost every American health care situation. It is mostly used to coordinate community services with satisfactory results for the patient within a certain period of time, with limited resources. Through time, it has been used for different purposes. The goal of this study was to show the historical evolution of case management as expressed by the American nursing literature, in the 80's and 90's, according to its use, meaning, and application, and following a theoretical framework for concept analysis. The data was extracted from two journals: "Nursing Management" and "Journal of Nursing Administration". The publications showed case management portrayed as a process that serves a common goal; where quality and cost of care were the prevalent and influential elements along time, and its practice focusing in a given population defined as of high risk and high cost for health care
