RESUMEN

Resumo Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar a liderança dos governos estaduais brasileiros na implementação de políticas de distanciamento social para o enfrentamento da disseminação da COVID-19. Pressupõe-se que as políticas de distanciamento social são heterogêneas, apesar da liderança dos governos, ou seja, apresentam certo grau de assimetria nas restrições do funcionamento do comércio e de atividades com potencial de aglomeração de pessoas. Diante disso, foram combinados os debates sobre processo de produção de políticas públicas e sobre autonomia e federalismo, para investigar a influência dos fatores políticos ou técnico-administrativos nas políticas estaduais. Os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos foram utilizados: análise de conteúdo de 134 normativas estaduais; mapeamento do alinhamento político-partidário dos governadores estaduais ao presidente da República; análise dos recursos médico-hospitalares de cada unidade da federação baseada no Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde (CNES). O contexto emergencial revelou baixa coordenação interfederativa pelo governo federal, provocando uma competição entre entes federativos e forte liderança estadual na gestão da crise no âmbito local. A pesquisa mostra, por um lado, que as decisões sobre as políticas de distanciamento social não podem ser explicadas por fatores políticos; e por outro, a correspondência entre a capacidade do sistema de saúde local e o nível de rigor das políticas de distanciamento social. Conclui-se que, na atual situação de transtorno social intenso, preferiu-se a racionalidade técnica a barganhas políticas.

Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el liderazgo de los gobiernos de los estados brasileños en la implementación de políticas de distanciamiento social para enfrentar la propagación de la COVID-19. Se parte del supuesto de que, a pesar de la existencia de este liderazgo, las políticas de aislamiento social son heterogéneas, con cierto grado de asimetría en las restricciones al funcionamiento del comercio y de actividades con potencial de aglomeración de personas. Se combinaron debates sobre el proceso de producción de políticas públicas, autonomía y federalismo para investigar si los factores políticos o técnico-administrativos influyen en la naturaleza de estas políticas a nivel estatal. Se utilizaron los siguientes procedimientos metodológicos: análisis de contenido de 134 regulaciones de estados; mapeo del alineamiento político-partidario de los gobernadores estatales con el presidente de la República; y análisis de los recursos médicos y hospitalarios de cada unidad de la federación con base en el Registro Nacional de Establecimientos de Salud. El contexto de emergencia reveló una baja coordinación interfederativa del gobierno federal, lo que provocó la competencia entre entidades federales y el fuerte liderazgo estatal en la gestión de la crisis en ámbito local. Por un lado, el artículo presenta evidencia de que las decisiones sobre políticas de distanciamiento social no pueden explicarse por factores políticos; y, por otro, existe una correspondencia entre la capacidad del sistema de salud local y el nivel de rigor de las políticas de distanciamiento social. Se concluye que, en la actual situación de intenso desorden social, se prefirió la racionalidad técnica a las negociaciones políticas.

Abstract This article aims to analyze the leadership of Brazilian state governments on lockdown and social distancing policies to keep COVID-19 from spreading. It is assumed that the states' policies on this matter are heterogeneous, and their implementation regarding how commercial activities - and others that potentially involve a large concentration of people - is asymmetric. Therefore, the study observed the debates on policy-making processes and on autonomy and federalism to investigate the influence of political or technical-administrative factors on policies adopted at the state level in Brazil. The methodology used content analysis of 134 state norms, mapping the political-party alignment of state governors to the president, analysis of medical and hospital resources of each federation unit based on the National Register of Health Establishments. The emergency context revealed low inter-federative coordination by the federal government, competition among states, and states leadership in crisis management at the local level. The article presents evidence that state governments' leadership cannot be justified by political party alignment with the president. However, there is a correspondence between both the local health system capacity and the rigor of lockdown and social distancing policies, which indicates that, in an intense social disorder situation, technical rationality was preferable to political bargaining.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To describe the process of development of community health in a territory where the Primary Health Care board decided to include it in its roadmap as a strategic line. DESIGN: Evaluative research using qualitative techniques, including SWOT analysis on community health. Two-steps study. LOCATION: Primary care teams (PCT) of the Catalan Health Institute in Barcelona city. PARTICIPANTS AND/OR CONTEXT: The 24 PCT belonging to the Muntanya-Dreta Primary Care Service in Barcelona city, with 904 professionals serving 557,430 inhabitants. METHOD: Application of qualitative methodology using SWOT analysis in two steps (two-step study). Step 1: Setting up a core group consisting of local PCT professionals; collecting the community projects across the territory; SWOT analysis. Step 2: From the needs identified in the previous phase, a plan was developed, including a set of training activities in community health: basic, advanced, and a workshop to exchange experiences from the PCTs. RESULTS: A total of 80 team professionals received specific training in the 4 workshops held, one of them an advanced level. Two workshops were held to exchange experiences with 165 representatives from the local teams, and 22 PCTs presenting their practices. In 2013, 6 out of 24 PCTs have had a community diagnosis performed. CONCLUSIONS: Community health has achieved a good level of development in some areas, but this is not the general situation in the health care system. Its progression depends on the management support they have, the local community dynamics, and the scope of the Primary Health Care.

RESUMEN

The clinical decision making process with ethical implications in the area of primary healthcare differs from other healthcare areas. From the ethical perspective it is important to include these issues in the decision making model. This dissertation explains the need for a process of bioethical deliberation for Primary Healthcare, as well as proposing a method for doing so. The decision process method, adapted to this healthcare area, is flexible and requires a more participative Healthcare System. This proposal involves professionals and the patient population equally, is intended to facilitate the acquisition of responsibility for personal and community health.

RESUMEN

Los pacientes graves son enfermos en los cuales se presentan dificultades para la obtención del consentimiento informado. Por un lado tienen tendencia a sufrir muchos procedimientos invasores, incluso de soporte vital, y por otro la naturaleza de su enfermedad o su tratamiento los limita de participar en el proceso de consentimiento en ocasiones, a fin de caracterizar el comportamiento del proceso de toma de decisiones asistenciales en el paciente crítico en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos, se realizó un estudio prospectivo, longitudinal y de intervención, en el cual se estudiaron dos cohortes consecutivas de pacientes (280 cada una). Se registraron todas las decisiones asistenciales y procedimientos realizados en el primer periodo y la toma de decisiones alegórica al consentimiento informado e implicado. En un segundo período de intervención, con técnicas estratégicas especializadas, se solicitó a pacientes (que tuviesen puntaje inferior a 50 puntos en la escala de Karnofsky), a familiares y allegados su consentimiento informado y se volvió a registrar el número de procedimientos y de consentimientos informados individuales obtenidos. Siempre que pudo ser posible, se le consultó el procedimiento a realizar al paciente y las acciones médicas y de enfermería. Cuando esto no fue posible, se tomó el criterio del familiar o allegado competente. En tercera instancia, se tomó el criterio del consenso absoluto de todo el equipo asistencial de trabajo, el consentimiento implicado. Se obtuvo un trànsito en el protagonismo de las decisiones asistenciales en el paciente crítico, donde inicialmente primaba casi absolutamente el consentimiento implicado para pasar al consentimiento informado de pacientes y familiares.

Serious patients are ill people in which there are difficulties to obtain the informed consent. On the one hand they have a trend to underwent many invasive procedures, even of vital support, and by the other hand, the origin of its disease or its treatment limit them to participate sometimes in the consent process to characterize the behavior of healthcare decision-making in critical patient in Intensive Care Unit, thus we conducted a prospective, longitudinal and interventional study to study two consecutive cohorts of patients (280 each). All healthcare assistances and procedures carried out during the first period and the decision-making related to informed and implicated consent. During a second intervention period using specialized techniques we requested to patients (with a score under 50 points in Karnofsky scale), family and relatives the informed consent and the procedures number and of individual informed consent was registered again obtained. As much as we can the procedure to be performed was asked patient about the procedure and the medical and nursing actions. When it was not possible, we considered the family or competent relatives criterion. In third case, we took the absolute consensus criterion of all the working healthcare staff, the implicated consent. A transit in leading role of healthcare decisions in critical patient was obtained where initially the implicated consent was a almost absolute priority to pass to the informed consent of patients and relatives. Also, as much as it was possible the participation of critical patients and relatives in healthcare process was increased. Acute cardiovascular diseases were the clinical situations allowed more autonomy in informed consent and the failure of multiple organs where the implicated consent was predominant(AU)
