ABSTRACT

A hypothetical case of alleged sexual misconduct in a practice with high employee turnover and stress is analyzed by three experts. This case commentary examines the ethical role expectations of an office manager who is not directly involved but becomes aware of the activities. The commentators bring the perspectives of a dental hygienist, academic administrator, and attorney; a teacher of behavioral sciences in a dental school; and a general dentist with many years of practice experience.

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: la única forma de contraer el virus de inmunodeficiencia humana durante el tratamiento estomatológico es a través del contacto de la sangre de un paciente seropositivo con la piel o mucosa no intacta del profesional, lo cual demanda medidas de bioseguridad para reducir el riesgo de infección cruzada así como el cumplimiento de aspectos bioéticos a tener en cuenta en la asistencia a dichos pacientes.Objetivo: determinar el nivel de conocimientos de estomatólogos sobre bioseguridad y el principio bioético de justicia en el tratamiento a pacientes con virus de inmunodeficiencia humana.Métodos: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal que incluyó a 45 profesionales que laboraron en consultorios estomatológicos de tres parroquias en Caracas, Venezuela, durante enero a diciembre de 2010. Se analizó: conocimientos sobre bioseguridad (mecanismos de transmisión de la enfermedad, medidas de control, flujograma de esterilización, medidas ante un accidente de trabajo) y sobre el principio bioético justicia (momento y lugar de tratamiento, instrumental a utilizar, tiempo a dedicar al paciente). Resultados: se obtuvo como nivel de conocimiento sobre el principio bioético de justicia: bueno el 40 por ciento, regular el 37,7 por ciento y malo el 22,2 por ciento. En relación con las medidas de bioseguridad: bueno el 26,6 por ciento, regular el 24,4 por ciento y malo el 48,8 por ciento.Conclusiones: el nivel de conocimientos sobre el principio bioético de justicia y sobre las medidas de bioseguridad para tratar a pacientes que viven con virus de inmunodeficiencia humana es insatisfactorio en más de la mitad de los estomatólogos encuestados(AU)


Background: the only way of contracting human immunodeficiency virus during dental treatment is through contact with the blood of an HIV-positive patient with non-intact skin or mucosa of the professional. This requires biosecurity measures to reduce the risk of crossed infection and ensure compliance of bioethical aspects to be considered when treating these patients.Objective: To determine knowledge levels of dentists on biosafety and bioethical principle of justice in the treatment of patients with human immunodeficiency virus.Methods: A cross sectional and descriptive study was conducted involving 45 professionals who worked in Stomatological clinics of three parishes in Caracas, Venezuela, from January to December 2010. The following were analyzed: knowledge on biosafety (mechanisms of disease transmission, control measures and flowchart sterilization measures before an accident) and the justice bioethical principle (time and place of treatment, instruments used and time to devote to patient). Results: The knowledge level according to the bioethical principle of justice was assessed: 40 percent for good, 37.7 percent for average and 22.2 percent for bad. For biosecurity measures it was obtained: 26.6 percent good, 24.4 percent average and 48.8 percent bad. Conclusions: knowledge level on the bioethical principle of justice and biosecurity measures to treat patients living with human immunodeficiency virus is unsatisfactory in more than half of the dentists surveyed(AU)

ABSTRACT

O trabalho descreve e analisa, na perspectiva do financiamento federal, o desenvolvimento da Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB). O artigo considera o avanço no sentido da ampliação do acesso representado pela inserção das Equipes de Saúde Bucal (ESBs) na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) e a criação dos Centros de Especialidades Odontológicas (CEOs) e dos Laboratórios Regionais de Prótese Dentária (LRPDs). Não obstante a importância da ampliação desse acesso, o objetivo deste trabalho é refletir sobre a seguinte questão: de que forma e em que medida a Portaria nº 302/2009, que desvincula as EBSs da ESF, será capaz de garantir a manutenção do acesso já conquistado com continuidade do aporte de recursos financeiros? Para tal fim, foi realizada análise bibliográfica e documental abrangendo os períodos de vigência das Normas Operacionais do SUS até a edição do Pacto pela Saúde 2006. Nas considerações finais, os autores destacam que o maior aporte de recursos financeiros voltado para a atenção à saúde bucal está em sintonia com as políticas adotadas pelo Ministério da Saúde (MS) na década de 1990: a reorganização da Atenção Básica através da ESF e a política de incentivos, como forma de repasse de recursos federais. Ainda é destacado o risco de retrocesso representado pela edição da referida Portaria, no sentido de comprometer tanto o processo de reorganização da atenção básica em SB quanto seu financiamento, uma vez que a política de incentivos do MS é voltada para esta Estratégia.


This paper describes and analyzes, in the perspective of federal financing, the development of the so called Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal (PNSB) [Dental Care National Politics]. It considers the progress of improvement of access provided by the inclusion of Dental Care Teams (DCT) in the Family Health Strategy (FHS), and the creation of Odontological Specialties Centers (OEC) and Regional Laboratories of Dental Prostheses (RLDP). Despite the importance of such improvement, this paper aims to reflect on the following issue: how the Decree 302/2009, that disengages DCT from FHS, is able to ensure the already achieved access with continuing financial resources? So a bibliographical and documental analysis was conducted, comprising the issue of SUS Operational Norms until the 2006 Health Pact. In the final remarks, the authors point out that most part of financial resources for dental care coincides with the policies adopted by the Health Ministry in the 1990's: primary care re-organization through the Family Health Strategy, and the incentives politics, as a way of transferring federal resources. Also, they highlight the risk of retreat brought by this decree, as it jeopardizes both the primary care re-organization process in dental care, and its financing, once the incentives politics of the Health Ministry is concerned with the Family Health Strategy.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo de caso teve como objetivo analisar a dimensão ética do processo de formação profissional em Odontologia, nos cursos de graduação brasileiros, para construir conhecimentos relativos a mudanças necessárias no sentido de se formar profissionais de saúde eticamente competentes. Para tanto, o objeto de estudo precisou ser delimitado por um marco conceitual, construído na interface de conceitos dispostos em diferentes níveis de abrangência: socialização primária, profissão e trabalho em saúde, formação em saúde, socialização profissional, currículo formal e oculto, formação ética e educação moral. O marco também colaborou no delineamento desta pesquisa qualitativa, em cuja primeira etapa um questionário enviado a coordenadores de 15 faculdades buscou traçar um panorama sobre como a formação ética vem sendo desenvolvida. Os resultados iniciais apontaram um comprometimento pontual dos cursos com a dimensão ética da formação profissional, indicando ações isoladas e limitadas, pouco intencionais e planejadas. Ao mesmo tempo, esta análise permitiu a seleção de duas instituições para o aprofundamento do estudo. Na segunda etapa, por meio de análise documental, buscou-se conhecer os fatores que influenciam a formação ética presentes no currículo formal. Na terceira etapa, focou-se nos fatores presentes no currículo oculto, através da coleta de dados em campo, valendo-se de entrevistas semidirigidas (10), observações diretas (10) e grupos focais (2). Os dados então coletados foram categorizados e reagrupados em três categorias temáticas – denominadas “modelos, mercado e poder”; “humanização”; e “ética no processo de socialização profissional” - revelando os fatores que influenciam a formação ética no currículo real, resultante da interação do currículo formal e do oculto.


Os resultados apresentaram as realidades da formação ética vivenciadas nos cursos de graduação, confirmando a hipótese inicial de que a dimensão ética da formação profissional precisa ser mais bem desenvolvida para o pleno exercício da excelência profissional que é o objetivo principal da ética. O diálogo entre os dados coletados, os autores do marco conceitual e a pesquisadora apontaram então uma série de desafios que docentes e instituições precisam assumir no sentido de promoverem o desenvolvimento moral de seus estudantes e a vivência de valores humanizadores no ambiente acadêmico, de modo a fortalecer a dimensão ética do processo de formação profissional. Frente aos desafios levantados, algumas estratégias são propostas, ao final, para serem desenvolvidas com base nos valores da prudência, do realismo e da esperança, por todos os professores universitários que assumem o compromisso com a formação integral do ser humano e com a formação profissional ética de que a sociedade necessita.

ABSTRACT

From the point of view of deontological ethics, privacy is a moral right that patients are entitled to and it is bound to professional confidentiality. Otherwise, the information given by patients to health professionals would not be reliable and a trustable relationship could not be established. The aim of the present study was to assess, by means of questionnaires with open and closed questions, the awareness and attitudes of 100 dentists working in the city of Andradina, São Paulo State, Brazil, with respect to professional confidentiality in dental practice. Most dentists (91.43%) reported to have instructed their assistants on professional confidentiality. However, 44.29% of the interviewees showed to act contradictorily as reported talking about the clinical cases of their patients to their friends or spouses. The great majority of professionals (98.57%) believed that it is important to have classes on Ethics and Bioethics during graduation and, when asked about their knowledge of the penalties imposed for breach of professional confidentiality, only 48.57% of them declared to be aware of it. Only 28.57% of the interviewees affirmed to have exclusive access to the files; 67.14% reported that that files were also accessed by their secretary; 1.43% answered that their spouses also had access, and 2.86% did not answer. From the results of the present survey, it could be observed that, although dentists affirmed to be aware of professional confidentiality, their attitudes did not adhere to ethical and legal requirements. This stand of health professionals has contributed to violate professional ethics and the law itself, bringing problems both to the professional and to the patient.
