RESUMO
Resumo: O presente artigo busca refletir sobre o uso de álcool no capitalismo e seus impactos no tratamento em transplante de fígado, através do prisma materialista-histórico-dialético. Foram realizadas entrevistas com sujeitos que vivenciaram esta realidade, permitindo evidenciar que, na dinâmica capitalista, o adoecimento dos sujeitos, seus enfrentamos e a própria saúde humana são caracterizados ínferos frente ao contraditório ciclo de realização mercantil.
Abstract: This article seeks to reflect through the materialist-historical-dialectical prism on the use of alcohol in capitalism and its impact on treatment in liver transplantation. Interviews were conducted with subjects who experience this reality, allowing evidence that in the capitalist dynamics, the sickness of the subjects, their confrontations and human health itself are characterized as insignificant in the face of the contradictory cycle of mercantile realization.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Assessment is considered a duty, as well as a part of the tasks of social workers; in addition, they have an ethical commitment to improve their working tools. This study aimed at validating the Adapted Social Assessment Instrument used in a transplant center in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, for liver transplantation candidates, requiring its improvement and strengthening. METHODS: The methodology was based on both Marxian dialectics and the method of content validation. The content validation analysis was performed by 5 social workers from 3 Brazilian transplant centers. They evaluated the 5 domains of the instrument: identification, socio-demographic profile, eligibility criteria, evaluation, and social interventions. Descriptive statistics of data were performed, and qualitative analysis was associated to the participant observation. RESULTS: The 5 professionals (100%) assigned the scores 3 and 4, which have demonstrated clarity, relevance, and feasibility, pointing out suggestions for improvement, some of which were considered. CONCLUSIONS: The instrument was evaluated with an approval percentage of above 80%; therefore, the instrument is a valid measure.
