La influencia de las instituciones en los consejos locales de salud / The influence of the institutions on local health councils

Objetivo: Analizar la influencia de las instituciones en el funcionamiento de los consejos locales de salud. Diseño: Estudio cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio. Emplazamiento: Dos servicios de atención primaria de salud de un municipio del interior del estado de São Paulo, Brasil.Participantes: Veinticuatro miembros de los consejos locales de salud y 4 informantes clave. Método: Basado en el marco teórico y metodológico del análisis institucional. Los datos fueron producidos a través de 28 entrevistas individuales con preguntas semiestructuradas, observación, participación en las actividades de los consejos y registro en el diario de investigación. Los datos fueron organizados por el proceso de transcripción, transposición y reconstitución. Resultados: Las instituciones actúan en los territorios representados por actores sociales que ocupan cargos y funciones dentro de los servicios de atención primaria de salud, evidenciando la perpetuación de la jerarquización con valorización de los discursos de los profesionales y gestores en detrimento de los pacientes y predominio de reuniones burocratizadas. Los actores sociales reproducen los ideales del colectivo al que pertenecen en estos espacios. Conclusión: No siempre los equipos de gestión de salud reconocen las diferentes fuerzas que actúan en el territorio de salud, sin embargo, estas fuerzas interfieren en las actividades desarrolladas y en la atención de la salud. Los grupos actúan tanto en espacios formales a través de representantes oficiales que se reúnen y discuten temas en colegiados como en espacios informales y constituyen fuerzas en disputa en el territorio de salud.(AU)

Violence in the Nursing Workplace in the Context of Primary Health Care: A Qualitative Study.

Violence demands considerable attention due to its complexity and social consequences. The objective of this study was to analyze violence in the nursing professional workplace in the context of primary health care in Brazil. It is a qualitative study with theoretical and methodological reference to institutional analysis. It was carried out in basic health units in Brazil. Nursing professionals (N = 11) participated in semi-structured interviews and discussion groups, in addition to a research diary and participant observation. Data collection took place from October to December 2021. The results are presented in five categories: types of violence and aggressors from the perspective of nursing professionals; the causes of violence reported by professionals; strategies for the management of violence; professionals' proposals for preventing violence in health contexts; the consequences of violence in the workplace. Nursing professionals make up a large part of the workforce and have reported verbal, physical, moral, and psychological violence. The main causes are associated with user access to services. For the prevention of violence, professionals do not see themselves as protagonists of change. The consequences are the loss of quality of work and the health of professionals who requested sick leave and transfers. The study's findings can help in the development of public policies and educational and management actions.

The Work of Nurses in Primary Health Care: Crossings of the New Public Management.

The literature in the field of health management mentions a concept called new public management (NPM), introduced in Brazil and France at the end of the 20th century. The objective of the study was to analyze the repercussions of the work of nurses in primary health care in Brazil and France under the influence of NPM. This is an excerpt of a double-titled thesis, which is a research intervention with nurses from two Brazilian states and five French departments. Data were produced between February 2019 and July 2021. The public policy Health on the Hour acted as an institutional transducer, provoking a reduction in access and producing effects on professional practices. In both countries, NPM amplified the predominance of technical and quantifiable acts, the focus on individual care, and the loss of autonomy. Nurses reported insurmountable situations, using the metaphor "Sophie's choice". The results showed that making dilemmatic decisions has been the daily routine of nurses, which has not resulted in debureaucratization and higher quality of care.

Participação e controle social nos Conselhos Locais de Saúde sob a ótica de alguns conceitos da Análise Institucional / Participation and social control in Local Health Councils from the perspective of some Institutional Analysis concepts

O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) vem sofrendo medidas governamentais que dificultam sua implementação como, por exemplo, seu desfinanciamento. Consideramos a participação e o controle social como uma força na luta pela melhoria e manutenção da saúde como direito de todos e dever do estado. Um dos espaços legitimados da participação e do controle social são os Conselhos Locais de Saúde (CLS), que visam atender as demandas e necessidades de saúde da população que reside na área de abrangência das unidades básicas de saúde. Para os trabalhadores de saúde, em especial o profissional enfermeiro, que tem ocupado espaços de gerência, é importante seu conhecimento sobre esta temática, para a defesa do SUS. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva-exploratória, que utilizou alguns conceitos da análise institucional, linha sócio analítica, tais como: instituição, instituinte e processo de institucionalização. Teve por objetivo geral analisar os modos de funcionamento dos CLS em um município do estado de São Paulo sob a ótica do referencial teórico; e como objetivos específicos caracterizar os CLS em relação ao perfil dos participantes e duração das reuniões, bem como analisar se os achados em pesquisa realizada nas escolas francesas iluminam o modo de funcionamento dos CLS. Foram selecionados dois CLS, por meio dos critérios de inclusão e foram eles os dois mais antigos, com reuniões mensais e em vigor durante a produção dos dados. Para essa produção foram utilizadas a observação nas reuniões e atividades dos CLS, contato com as atas e entrevistas com questões semiestruturadas, afim de identificar os modos de funcionamento dos CLS. Foram entrevistados 28 participantes, dentre eles, 24 membros do CLS e 4 informantes-chave; as entrevistas foram gravadas em mídia digital e posteriormente transcritas na íntegra. Foi utilizado registro de impressões, sentimentos e expectativas no diário de pesquisa. Os dados foram organizados pelas proposições de Paille e Mucchielli, seguindo as etapas interrelacionadas: transcrição, transposição e reconstituição. O material foi analisado confrontando os objetivos e o referencial teórico. Os resultados foram apresentados em categorias e subcategorias, sendo elas: I- Os Conselhos Locais de Saúde: composição, atividades realizadas e livros-ata; II - Relações no conselho, como subcategorias à relação do conselheiro com a função, a visão dos conselheiros e gerentes, representar e ser representado, e a relação entre gestores e conselheiros; e III - Controle Social explícito e implícito. Os CLS surgiram com um movimento instituinte e ao serem institucionalizados conjugam os modos instituídos de participação como a hierarquização e os jogos de interesse. Concluímos que os CLS funcionam na perspectiva mais de satisfazer os projetos individuais aos coletivos, há valorização de sua permanência para benefício da unidade de saúde, do gerente e para atender aos requisitos de avaliação do Programa Nacional de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade. Foi observada a materialização das relações hierárquicas presente na sociedade brasileira e que reproduzem relações históricas servindo a interesses restritos. A pesquisa na França ilumina os achados nos CLS brasileiro com a questão da proximidade sociocultural entre os gerentes, trabalhadores e os conselheiros

Some governmental measures, such as underfunding, have made it harder to implement the Unified Health System (UHS). However, social participation and control are powerful weapons in the fight for a better public healthcare and its maintenance as a right to every citizen and a duty of the State. The Local Health Councils (LHC) are one of the legal places for social participation and control that seeks to attend the demands and health needs of the population residing in the area of coverage of the basic health units. Health professionals, especially nurse practitioners, who occupy management positions, must have an understanding of these organizations in order to defend SUS. The present study is a qualitative and descriptive exploratory research that used some concepts of institutional analysis, socio-analytic line, and institutionalization process. The general purpose of this study was to analyze the modes of operation of the LHC in a city of the State of São Paulo under the perspective of the theoretical reference. The specific objectives was to characterize the LHC (concerning the profile of the participants and duration of the meetings) as well as to analyze if findings of researches carried out in French schools would help to understand the way that the LHC works. Two LHC were selected using the inclusion criteria: the oldest with monthly meetings during the production of the data. Data were collected by the observation of meetings and activities of the LHC, evaluation of documents and interviews with semi-structured questions, in order to identify the modes of operation of the LHC. 28 participants were interviewed, including 24 LHC members and 4 key informants. The interviews were recorded on digital media and later completely transcribed. Impressions, feelings and expectations were registered and used in the research diary. The data were organized by the propositions of Paille and Mucchielli, following the interrelated stages: transcription, transposition and reconstitution. The material was analyzed confronting the objectives and the theoretical reference. The results were presented in categories and subcategories, as follows: I- The Local Health Councils: composition, activities and documents; II - Relationships in the council, as subcategories the relationship of the advisor with the function, the vision of the advisors and managers, to represent and be represented, and the relationship between managers and advisors; and III - Explicit and implicit Social Control. The LHC emerged as an institutional movement and when they were institutionalized, they combine some modes of participation like hierarchy and games of interest. It was found that the CLS works more in the perspective of individual projects than collective projects. There is an interest of its permanence to benefit the health unit, the advisor and to meet the evaluation requirements of the National Program for Improving Access and Quality. It was also observed the materialization of hierarchical relations present in Brazilian society that reproduce a historical relation of serving personal interests. The research made in French schools helps to understand the Brazilian LHC concerning sociocultural proximity between managers, workers and advisors

Embracement as an analyzer of the relationships between professionals, managers and users.

OBJECTIVE Analyzing the relationships among professionals and between professionals with managers and users based on the user embracement analyzer. METHOD A qualitative study incorporating the theoretical-methodological reference of institutional analysis. The data were produced through focus groups and organized from transcription, transposition and reconstitution. Seventeen (17) focus group sessions were conducted involving six municipalities and health professionals from various backgrounds. RESULTS 137 professionals participated in this study. User embracement has been carried out with the aim to organize spontaneous demand. Doctors have not been directly involved, although they have the final say. Intermediate nursing deals with the users and nurses perform important negotiation work among the network sectors. The receptionists and the community agents develop the first approach to the users, forwarding them to nursing to negotiate the service. Managers hope to avoid complaints by attending everyone. Users take advantage of party politics and of the media for services when there is no access. CONCLUSION User embracement is an analyzer, since it produces visibility and readability of the relations being produced in health services, and when analyzed can lead to denaturalizing these actions.
