RESUMO

Este trabalho traz os resultados de um estudo de casos múltiplos acerca do Programa Mais Médicos (PMM) em três municípios de Pernambuco: Vitória de Santo Antão, Águas Belas e Ouricuri. Nesses locais, entre junho e agosto de 2016, foram selecionadas Unidades de Saúde da Família (USF), onde atuam médicos e médicas cubanos da cooperação entre o governo brasileiro e a Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde/Organização Mundial de Saúde (OPAS/OMS). O objetivo do PMM é reduzir os vazios assistenciais, por meio da expansão da rede de serviços da Atenção Básica, tendo como consequência a ampliação e a melhoria da atenção à saúde aos usuários do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A metodologia empregada abrangeu dados quantitativos do Ministério da Saúde e do IBGE, e dados qualitativos obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos focais, envolvendo profissionais das Equipes de Saúde da Família (eSF) e usuários dos serviços. Financiada pela OPAS/OMS, a pesquisa que originou este estudo aponta não só uma melhoria da situação de saúde da população e a satisfação dos usuários com os serviços prestados pelas eSFs, mas também identifica as barreiras econômicas e sociais que impedem o acesso pleno às USFs como portas preferenciais de acesso ao SUS. Além disso, destaca-se que o PMM promoveu uma cultura do autocuidado entre as pessoas e o despertar de uma consciência a respeito do exercício da cidadania, que só pode ser efetivada por meio do usufruto de políticas públicas bem estruturadas.(AU)

RESUMO

Estudos demonstram que são escassas as ações relacionadas à saúde mental na Estratégia da Saúde da Família, requerendo sensibilização e capacitação dos profissionais. A Telessaúde assume um papel importante, pois favorece a criação de serviços colaborativos entre profissionais de saúde e especialistas trabalhando remotamente. Este artigo apresenta as estratégias para a implementação e a avaliação dos Seminários por Webconferência em Saúde Mental, oferecidos pela RedeNUTES para as equipes de saúde da família de Pernambuco, Brasil. Os seminários síncronos têm frequência semanal e são apresentados por teleconsultores da rede assistencial ou de ensino. As sessões são gravadas e disponibilizadas para consulta na Biblioteca Virtual. Em 2009, ocorreram 39 seminários. A avaliação geral dos seminários, o grau de compreensão dos temas abordados, o material didático utilizado e o tempo de duração tiveram bons resultados. Conclui-se que esse serviço oportuniza um bom espaço para educação continuada em saúde mental.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Public health data is typically organized by geospatial units. Routine geographic monitoring of health data enables an understanding of the spatial patterns of events in terms of causes and controls. GeoVisualization (GeoVis) allows users to see information hidden both visually and explicitly on a map. Despite the applicability of GeoVis in public health, it is still underused for visualizing public health data. The objective of this study is to examine the perception of telehealth users' to utilize GeoVis as a proof of concept to facilitate visual exploration of telehealth data in Brazil using principles of human centered approach and cognitive fit theory. METHODS: A mixed methods approach combining qualitative and quantitative assessments was utilized in this cross sectional study conducted at the Telehealth Center of the Federal University of Pernambuco (NUTE-UFPE), Recife, Brazil. A convenient sample of 20 participants currently involved in NUTES was drawn during a period of Sep-Oct 2011. Data was gathered using previously tested questionnaire surveys and in-person interviews. Socio-demographic Information such as age, gender, prior education, familiarity with the use of computer and GeoVis was gathered. Other information gathered included participants' prior spatial analysis skills, level of motivation and use of GeoVis in telehealth. Audio recording was done for all interviews conducted in both English and Portuguese, and transcription of the audio content to English was done by a certified translator. Univariate analysis was performed and means and standard deviations were reported for the continuous variables and frequency distributions for the categorical variables. For the open-ended questions, we utilized a grounded theory to identify themes and their relationship as they emerge from the data. Analysis of the quantitative data was performed using SAS V9.1 and qualitative data was performed using NVivo9. RESULTS: The average age of participants was 28 years (SD=7), a majority of them were females and 100% were professionals with graduate degrees. The users had diverse backgrounds including nursing, computer science, biomedical informatics, statistics, dentistry, administration and engineering. The users had varied roles and responsibilities, used computers frequently but only 5% of them were familiar with GeoVis. Google maps were the most common GeoVis application that the users were familiar with. Despite having minimal spatial skills, there was a strong motivation and relevance among the telehealth users to use GeoVis to facilitate visual exploration of telehealth data for better informed decision making. Results also showed that of the 60% participants with no GeoVis familiarity; 33% had moderate to large data exploratory role, 83% had no spatial skills but 58% preferred analyzing both spatial and temporal dimensions of the data. Majority of the participants agreed to have maps as the first choice to represent the data as it will be able to display the events both in place and time. DISCUSSION: The results demonstrate a potentially growing need for the use of GeoVis applications to evaluate telehealth data. Understanding of user needs is essential to ensure that the technology is appropriately functional and will be useful to complete the tasks.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Public health data is typically organized by geospatial unit. GeoVisualization (GeoVis) allows users to see information visually on a map. OBJECTIVES: Examine telehealth users' perceptions towards existing public health GeoVis applications and obtains users' feedback about features important for the design and development of Human Centered GeoVis application "the SanaViz". METHODS: We employed a cross sectional study design using mixed methods approach for this pilot study. Twenty users involved with the NUTES telehealth center at Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE), Recife, Brazil were enrolled. Open and closed ended questionnaires were used to gather data. We performed audio recording for the interviews. Information gathered included socio-demographics, prior spatial skills and perception towards use of GeoVis to evaluate telehealth services. Card sorting and sketching methods were employed. Univariate analysis was performed for the continuous and categorical variables. Qualitative analysis was performed for open ended questions. RESULTS: Existing Public Health GeoVis applications were difficult to use. Results found interaction features zooming, linking and brushing and representation features Google maps, tables and bar chart as most preferred GeoVis features. CONCLUSIONS: Early involvement of users is essential to identify features necessary to be part of the human centered GeoVis application "the SanaViz".
