Estratégia de Saúde da Família: Impasses e desafios atuais / Family Health Strategy: Current Impasses and Challenges

A Estratégia Saúde da Família trouxe benefícios à saúde da população, pois promove além da recuperação de agravos, a promoção e a prevenção, oferecendo um cuidado continuado à saúde, além de facilitar o acesso da população aos serviços de saúde. O artigo tem por objetivo avaliar a percepção dos enfermeiros sobre a implantação da Estratégia Saúde da Família, buscando identificar as reais mudanças e melhorias obtidas na saúde pública, assim como os desafios e impasses para sua implementação e consolidação. Trata-se de em estudo exploratório descritivo de natureza qualitativa. As entrevistas foram realizadas através de um questionário para caracterizar o perfil dos enfermeiros e um roteiro estruturado. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o método de análise de conteúdo segundo Bardin. Os resultados apontam alguns entraves como a questão cultural da comunidade, a baixa cobertura das equipes, a grande rotatividade médica e a estrutura Básica das unidades, muitas vezes precárias. Conclui-se que embora os enfermeiros tenham avaliado de forma positiva a implantação da Estratégia Saúde da Família, muitos desafios e impasses precisam ser trabalhados para que se consiga alcançar todos os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde.

The Family Health Strategy has brought benefits to the health of the population, as it promotes besides the recovery of diseases, promotion and prevention, offering a continuous care to the health, besides facilitating the access of the population to the health services. The objective this article is to evaluate the nurses' perception about the implementation of the Family Health Strategy, in order to identify the real changes a n d improvements obtained in public health, as well as the challenges and impasses for its implementation and consolidation. This is an exploratory descriptive study of a qualitative nature. The interviews were conducted through a questionnaire to characterize the nurses' profile and a structured itinerary. To analyze the data, the Bardin content analysis method was used. The results point to some obstacles such as the cultural issue of the community, the low coverage of teams, the great medical turnover and the physical structure of the often precarious units. It is concluded that although nurses have evaluated positively the implementation of the Family Health Strategy, many challenges and deadlocks need to be worked on in order to achieve all Health Unic System principles.

Quality of infant care in primary health services in Southern and Northeastern Brazil.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the quality of the health care provided to children aged under one year old performed by primary health services in the South and Northeast regions of Brazil. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, population-based study carried out in 2010 with 7,915 children aged from one to four years, whose homes are located in the areas of health service coverage. We described the prevalence of procedures and guidelines, such as weight and height measurement, vaccination, newborn blood spot screening, evaluation of umbilical cord, instruction on breastfeeding and introduction of new food, and their respective 95% confidence intervals. The differences were analyzed using the chi-square test of heterogeneity and linear trend. We considered the main outcome of high-quality infant care if the child had received all recommended procedures and guidelines in the first year of life. For this analysis, we used the Poisson regression considering hierarchical model. RESULTS: There was low prevalence for the instruction on breastfeeding in the first week of life (58.8%, 95%CI 57.5-60.0) and on the introduction of new food in the fourth month care. The prevalence of high-quality in childcare was 42.0% (95%CI 40.5-43.5). The adjusted analysis according to hierarchical model indicated greater probability of this outcome in the Northeast region (PR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.09-1.26), in smaller municipalities (PR = 1.17, 95%CI 1.03-1.33), and in municipalities with 50,000 and 99,000 inhabitants (PR = 1.20, 95%CI 1.09-1.34). CONCLUSIONS: The Northeast region has higher-quality infant care services, which can be explained by the consolidation of the Family Health Strategy in that region.

Analysis of the female mortality trend due to assault in Brazil, States and Regions. / Análise da tendência da mortalidade feminina por agressão no Brasil, estados e regiões.

This study aimed to analyze time trend of female mortality due to assault in Brazil, regions and states from 2002 to 2012. This is an ecological times series study with secondary data from women aged 20-59 years who died due to assault. Mortality rates were analyzed by simple linear regression and stratified by region, Gini Index and Human Development Index (HDI). The trend of female rate of mortality due to assault was stable in the country, with differences between states and regions. The Midwest had the highest rates and stagnation trend. There was an increased trend in the North, Northeast and South and a decreased trend in the Southeast. The states of the tertile with the highest HDI evidenced a declining trend and stabilization in the first and second tertiles. An increased mortality rate was recorded in states with greater social inequality. Notwithstanding the national stabilization behavior, results point to the need for social policies appropriate to the specificities of states and regions.

Análise da tendência da mortalidade feminina por agressão no Brasil, estados e regiões / Analysis of the female mortality trend due to assault in Brazil, States and Regions

Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi analisar a tendência temporal da taxa de mortalidade feminina por agressão no Brasil, regiões e estados no período de 2002 a 2012. Estudo ecológico de série temporal com dados secundários de mulheres na faixa etária de 20 a 59 anos mortas por agressão. As taxas de mortalidade foram analisadas por regressão linear simples, estratificadas por região, Índice de Gini e Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH). Evidenciou-se no país tendência estável na taxa de mortalidade feminina por agressão, com diferenças entre estados e regiões. O Centro-Oeste apresentou maiores taxas e tendência de estagnação. Observou-se tendência de aumento nas regiões Norte, Nordeste e Sul e diminuição na região Sudeste. Os estados pertencentes ao tercil com maior IDH apresentam tendência de declínio e estabilização nos 1º e 2º tercis. Foi observado aumento da taxa de mortalidade nos estados com maior desigualdade social. Apesar do comportamento de estabilização no país os resultados apontam para a necessidade de políticas sociais adequadas às especificidades dos estados e regiões.

Access to child care services in the Northeast and in the South Regions of Brazil / Acesso ao atendimento de puericultura nas Regiões Nordeste e Sul do Brasil

Abstract Objectives: to estimate the incomplete follow-up on child care services and the associated factors in the municipalities in the Northeast and in the South of Brazil. Methods: a population-based cross-sectional study with 7,915 children. The incomplete follow-up on child care regarded the absence of at least one of the seven advocated care services. The Poisson regression was used for crude and adjusted analysis. Results: the prevalence of the incomplete follow-up child care was 53.6% (CI95%= 52.5-54.7) in the Northeast and 28.3% (CI95%= 27.3-29.3) in the South, therefore 91% was greater in the Northeast (PR=1.91; CI95%= 1.73-2.11). Protector effect was observed: in the muni-cipalities with 30 to 49 thousand inhabitants in the Northeast (PR= 0.72; CI95%= 0.64-0.82) and 100 to 999 thousand inhabitants in the South (PR=0.69; CI95%= 0.57-0.84); the South has the greatest income quartile (RP=0.77; CI95%= 0.63-0.95) and has six or more prenatal consultations (PR=0.83; CI95%= 0.75-0.92) in the Northeast and (PR=0.65; CI95%= 0.53-0.79) in the South. Social classes D and E showed risks (PR=1.41; CI95%= 1.19-1.67) in the Northeast and (PR=1.67; CI95%= 1.37-2.03) in the South. Conclusions: children in the Northeast are more likely not to have a complete child care follow-up, implying that the user does not come to be attended or finds difficulties to have access to the health services.

Resumo Objetivos: estimar o acompanhamento incompleto de puericultura e os fatores associados, em municípios do Nordeste e Sul do Brasil. Métodos: estudo transversal, de base populacional, realizado com 7.915 crianças. Considerou-se acompanhamento incompleto da puericultura a ausência em pelo menos um dos sete atendimentos preconizados. Utilizou-se Regressão de Poisson para análise bruta e ajustada. Resultados: a prevalência do acompanhamento incompleto da puericultura foi de 53,6% (IC95%= 52,5-54,7) no Nordeste e de 28,3% (IC95%= 27,3-29,3) no Sul, sendo 91% maior no Nordeste (RP=1,91; IC95% 1,73-2,11). Efeito protetor foi observado: em municípios com 30 a 49 mil habitantes no Nordeste (RP= 0,72; IC95%= 0,64-0,82) e 100 a 999 mil habitantes no Sul (RP=0,69; IC95% 0,57-0,84); pertencer ao maior quartil de renda per capita no Sul (RP=0,77; IC95% 0,63-0,95) e fazer seis ou mais consultas de pré-natal (RP=0,83; IC95%=0,75-0,92) Nordeste e (RP=0,65; IC95%= 0,53-0,79) Sul. Pertencer às classes D e E evidenciou risco no Nordeste (RP=1,41; IC95%= 1,19-1,67) e no Sul (RP=1,67; IC95%=1,37-2,03). Conclusões: as crianças no Nordeste estão mais sujeitas a não seguir o acompanhamento completo de puericultura, sugerindo que o usuário não comparece ou encontra dificuldades nos acesso aos serviços de saúde.

[Risk factors for Leprosy transmission]. / Fatores de risco para transmissão da Hanseníase.

This case-control study aimed to identify individual risk factors regarding the transmission of leprosy. The group case represented by 90 cases of leprosy sick people pontificated at SINAN during 2003 and 2006 and a group control constituted by 270 healthy people, paired by gender and age. There was significant statistical between occurrence of the disease and its current presence (OR: 2,9) and old cases (OR= 5,0) of leprosy among co-sanguine relatives. Knowing that the only exam of the contact in the act of the diagnostic detects a minimum part of the new cases, it is proposed to execute periodical examinations of the contact of leprosy for detecting the new cases.
