ABSTRACT Introduction Chronic kidney disease is a progressive and irreversible loss of kidney function and considerably affects the lives of patients and their families. Its high incidence necessitates efficient public policies for prevention and treatment. However, policies for chronic kidney disease education and awareness are scarce. Objective To evaluate global public policies for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease adopted in various regions, aiming to comprehend the differences between various models. Methods This integrative review followed PRISMA recommendations and included papers published between 2016 and 2021 across several databases. Results The 44 selected articles were categorized into three themes: structural and financial aspects of the organization of renal healthcare, access to renal healthcare or management of chronic kidney disease, and coping strategies for chronic kidney disease or kidney health. Critical analysis of the papers revealed global neglect of kidney disease in political agendas. Considerable policy variations exist between different countries and regions of the same country. Our research highlighted that free and universal health coverage, especially for the most vulnerable patients, is crucial for accessing treatment owing to the prohibitively high treatment costs. Conclusion Social, economic, and ethnic inequalities strongly correlate with disease occurrence, primarily affecting minority groups who lack health support, especially for the prevention and treatment of chronic kidney disease.

Purpose: Are men more inclined to assume risks than women? The answer to this question is immediately relevant to various economic issues, including human behavior concerning medical remedies and procedures consumption. This paper aims to identify the perceived benefits of the consumption of medications centered on pharmaceutical risk assessment. Originality/value: The literature documents that risks and benefits can be considered the main trade-offs in consumer decision-making, including the pharmaceutical industry. It is a current theme with a high potential for social impact due to the many identified cases of Covid-19. In developing countries, most medication is used by self-medicating individuals, as access to health care can be insufficient. Self-medication is a potentially greater problem, as in this case, medication usage often follows advice from friends, relatives, and neighbors. Yet, there is little empirical evidence regarding this problem in the context of emerging countries. Design/methodology/approach: A survey of over 1,000 subjects using an extended regression model (ERM) in one of the biggest countries in the world, Brazil. Findings: The results reported that women perceive more risks and benefits from medication usage and medical procedures. The perception of the benefits of medications can be explained by the following dimensions: risk (personal injury, risk alertness, and risk awareness), gender, regular usage, and the benefits of medical procedures. Regarding risk dimensions, the lower the perceptions of personal injury and the higher the perceptions of risk alertness and risk awareness, the greater the perceived benefits of medication usage.

- Abstract
Objective: this paper aims to describe the first phase of a project whose general goal was to develop a consensus-based set of advanced practice nurse competencies applicable to Latin American countries and, based on these competencies, produce an advanced practice nurse curricular prototype adapted to Latin American countries. The project was framed in a competency-based approach to advanced practice nursing education. The specific aims of the first phase of the project described in this paper were: 1) to identify a set of potential advanced practice nurse competencies that would serve as the template for Core Advanced Practice Nurse Competencies in Latin American countries and 2) to establish consensus for Core Advanced Practice Nurse Competencies in Latin American countries., Method: advanced practice nurse competencies were derived from a comprehensive review of published competencies and informed the development of a survey designed to assess the relevance of advanced practice nurse competencies in Latin American countries. The survey was distributed to nurse leaders and nurse educators. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics., Results: consensus for Core Competencies was established., Conclusion: the Core Advanced Practice Nurse Competencies presented can provide a structured framework to build educational programs aligned to the needs of the regional environment.

- Abstract
The paper reflects upon the legal interpretations of the right to health and its consequences. In order to exemplify the complexity of the theme and its emotional appeal, it analyzes the Supreme Court's decision in a public litigation against the State of Alagoas demanding that medication be supplied. Different interpretations, by both judges and health professionals, of the notion of integral health care, one of the principles of Brazil's Health System, are examined. It is held that scarcity of resources must be taken into consideration when drawing up public policies that aim to allocate funding efficiently and in a manner that is compatible with the principals of the health system. Finally, the impact of judicial decisions concerning medication not offered by the system and the behavior of the Brazilian judiciary with this respect are discussed.

- Abstract
Using data from the Mortality Information System, this paper investigates the deaths of children and adolescents in the Manguinhos neighborhood from 1996 to 2000, to determine the main characteristics and associate key mortality aspects with local living conditions. An outlying working-class or "suburban" neighborhood of the city of Rio de Janeiro where the main campus of the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation is located, Manguinhos consists of 12 "communities" characterized by poverty, social exclusion, drug traffic, and structural violence. In light of these factors and the cultural, social, and economic potential of the Manguinhos population, the authors begin with the theoretical/ practical premise that living conditions played a major role in the deaths of these young citizens. The study of these fatal events may therefore lead to the elucidation of issues and problems that must be included on the agendas and in forums involving both health promotion projects and the Municipal, State, and Federal governments so that they can be appropriately addressed in the scope of public policies.

- Abstract
This paper studies the relationship between social inequality and health in Brazil. The strategy adopted by the authors was to analyze needs and uses of medical care as well as access to health insurance plans according to income distribution. Determinants of health care consumption were also studied by means of logistic regression. The main source of data was the 1998 National Sample Household Survey of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (PNAD-IBGE). In general, individuals in the lowest income distribution deciles had less access to health insurance, greater need for medical care, and lower consumption of such services. Other determinants of health care consumption were heavily associated with the most privileged social strata (greater access to schooling, water supply, sewerage, electricity, garbage collection, and health insurance) and with factors pointing to the capacity to supply these services in country.

- Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify and describe Rio de Janeiro maternity hospital profiles and the route between the mother's place of residence and the hospital. Data sources were: the State Live Birth Information System (1995) and the National Survey on Medical Care (1992). Two groups of maternity hospitals were identified using multivariate cluster analysis. Group A had an extremely high cesarean rate (81%), with mothers and neonates presenting good health conditions. Cesarean rates were lower in Group B, although still high (32%), and other variables reflected worse neonatal conditions. Cesarean rate was the indicator which best discriminated between the groups, followed by proportion of adolescent mothers and mothers with a high school education. The uneven spatial distribution of maternity hospitals, which were concentrated in the richest area of the city, was a factor in the long routes used by women to reach medical care for childbirth.

- Abstract
Mathematical location models have been increasingly applied in the health services at the international level. In Brazil, although incipient, there exists an enormous potential for the use of such models in the area of public health. In this paper several location models that can be applied to public health are presented initially, and the location of non-emergency services, of emergency services and of services hierarchically related are analysed. A hierarchical model is then applied to the location of maternal and perinatal assistance in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. In this part, after presenting some related data for the municipality, a four-level hierarchical model (location of out-patient units, maternity hospitals, neonatal hospitals and general hospitals) is proposed and the impact that the adoption of this methodology would have as compared with that of the present system is analysed.

Introduction: Remote contact between general practitioners and patients is a key component of accessibility to primary care. Objective: This study aims to determine the frequency of (and attitudes towards) the use of telephone and e-mail between general practitioners working in Matosinhos and their patients. Methods: A census of general practitioners working in Matosinhos was invited to participate in a cross-sectional survey-based study. An anonymous, paper, self-administered questionnaire was applied, and descriptive data analysis was used. Results: Eighty-one completed questionnaires were obtained (90.0% response rate). All general practitioners reported communicating with patients by telephone but one-third never/rarely exchanged e-mails with them. Most considered that the use of the telephone and e-mail is an overload for which they do not have enough time but acknowledged that both tools facilitate the management of patient lists and appointments. Participants stated that they would use both tools more often if interactions could be recorded in real-time and that they would use the telephone more often if it was accounted for in their performance evaluation. General practitioners with larger lists more often reported telephone calls with their patients. General practitioners working in ‘Model B’ practices more often used e-mail with their patients. General practitioners that use e-mail less often considered that it represents an overload and has a negative risk/benefit ratio, they less often agree that it facilitates the management of patient lists and appointments and wouldn't increase the frequency of use even if it was accounted for in their performance evaluation. Conclusion: All general practitioners have telephone calls with patients but express several negative attitudes towards this type of remote contact. General practitioners who are frequent e-mail users more often express positive attitudes, compared to the ones who are not regular e-mail adopters. Organizational policies should consider general practitioners’ attitudes.

The Brazilian Sign Language - Libras, was nationally recognized as the second official language of the country, even so, the person with hearing impairment experiences the frequent loss of identity resulting from the difficulty of communication with the society mostly composed of listeners. Such obstacles expose the deaf person to situations of vulnerability and social risk, to highlight the access to health services, essential for the maintenance of physical integrity, psychological and social human beings. Therefore, this paper aims to understand how the nursing team can contribute to the access to health services for deaf people. This is a literature review of integrative type and qualitative approach, through the bibliographic search in scientific databases LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF and SciELO, and analysis of scientific research published in full, from 2011 to 2021, in the Brazilian Portuguese language, in order to limit the information to the Brazilian reality. The research used to prepare this project shows the difficulty of patient communication at the time of nursing consultations, negatively impacting the reception and continuity of care of this patient. It is concluded that nurses have much to contribute to the guarantee of the social right to health, commonly denied to the deaf person. However, in order to offer an integral and efficient service, the nursing professional must be trained to do so. La Lengua de Signos Brasileña - Libras, fue reconocida nacionalmente como la segunda lengua oficial del país, aún así, la persona con deficiencia auditiva experimenta la frecuente pérdida de identidad resultante de la dificultad de comunicación con la sociedad compuesta mayoritariamente por oyentes. Tales obstáculos exponen a la persona sorda a situaciones de vulnerabilidad y riesgo social, a destacar el acceso a los servicios de salud, esenciales para el mantenimiento de la integridad física, psicológica y social del ser humano. Por lo tanto, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo comprender cómo el equipo de enfermería puede contribuir al acceso a la salud de la persona sorda. Se trata de una revisión bibliográfica integradora con enfoque cualitativo, a través de una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos científicas LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF y SciELO, y el análisis de los estudios publicados en su totalidad, desde 2011 hasta 2021, en portugués brasileño, con el fin de limitar la información recogida a la realidad brasileña. Las pesquisas utilizadas para la elaboración de este artículo evidencian la dificultad de comunicación del surdo en el momento de las consultas de enfermería, impactando negativamente en el acolchado y la continuidad de la asistencia de este paciente. Se concluye que la enfermera tiene mucho que aportar para la garantía del derecho social a la salud, comúnmente negado a la persona sorda. Por lo tanto, para poder ofrecer un servicio integral y eficiente, el profesional de la enfermería debe capacitarse para ello. A Língua Brasileira de Sinais – Libras, foi reconhecida nacionalmente como a segunda linguagem oficial do país, ainda assim, a pessoa com deficiência auditiva vivencia a frequente descaracterização identitária resultante da dificuldade de comunicação com a sociedade majoritariamente composta por ouvintes. Tais obstáculos expõem a pessoa surda às situações de vulnerabilidade e risco social, a destacar o acesso aos serviços de saúde, indispensáveis para a manutenção da integridade física, psíquica e social do ser humano. Portanto, o presente trabalho objetiva entender como a equipe de enfermagem pode contribuir para o acesso à saúde da pessoa surda. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura do tipo integrativa e de abordagem qualitativa, através da busca bibliográfica nas bases científicas LILACS, MEDLINE, BDENF e SciELO, e análise dos estudos publicadas na íntegra, de 2011 a 2021, no idioma português do Brasil, a fim de limitar as informações coletadas à realidade brasileira. As pesquisas utilizadas para elaboração deste artigo evidenciam a dificuldade de comunicação do surdo no momento das consultas de enfermagem, impactando negativamente no acolhimento e continuidade da assistência desse paciente. Conclui-se que o enfermeiro tem muito a contribuir para a garantia do direito social à saúde, comumente negado à pessoa surda. Entretanto, para que se possa ofertar um serviço integral e eficiente, o profissional de enfermagem deve capacitar-se para tal.

LGBTQIA+ population (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and or questioning, intersex, asexual and/or allied) still suffers prejudice and stigma, they face significantly more barriers in accessing health services, thus increasing the morbidities within this group. The objective of this study was to bring a literature review focusing on: the health and dental services access to LGBTQIA+ population and shed a light on which educational efforts are being implemented during the Dentistry graduation in order to minimize the LGBTQIA+ stigma. A literature review was performed focusing on papers published between 1995 and 2020, in PubMed, SciELO and Google Scholar. Nineteen studies were elicitable. They reported mainly experiences of LGBTQIA+ population's access to dental health services, the experiences of undergraduate students in the attendance of this population; the activities focusing on diminishing the LGBTQIA+ stigma in the graduation environment and the universities support for students who identify themselves as LGBTQIA+. Only two studies were conducted in Brazilian institutions. There is evidence collected from foreign studies that LGBTQIA+ population has less access to health services and there is a lack of formal training on the treatment of this community to undergraduate students. A população LGBTQIA+ ainda hoje sofre com o preconceito e estigma, o que pode dificultar o acesso aos serviços de saúde, aumentando a presença de morbidades neste grupo. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão de literatura com dois enfoques: o acesso aos serviços de saúde e odontológicos por pacientes LGBTQIA+ e quais as medidas educacionais que estão sendo implementadas com alunos dos cursos de Odontologia para diminuir o estigma sobre essa população e universalizar o acesso ao tratamento odontológico. Foi realizada uma revisão de literatura de estudos publicados entre 1995 e 2020 nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO e Google Scholar. Foram selecionados 19 artigos, relatando principalmente aspectos das experiências de acesso à saúde bucal por pacientes LGBTQIA+; a experiência dos alunos de graduação em Odontologia com essa população; a inserção de atividades focadas na desmistificação desta população em cursos de graduação e o suporte fornecido pelas instituições de ensino aos alunos que se identificam como LGBTQIA+. Apenas dois estudos foram conduzidos no Brasil. Existem evidências provenientes principalmente de estudos internacionais para afirmar que a população LGBTQIA+ possui menor acesso aos serviços de saúde e há uma falta de preparo formal dos alunos de graduação para o atendimento destas pessoas.

Increasing the effectiveness of smoking cessation policies requires greater consideration of the cultural and socioeconomic complexities of smoking. The purpose of this paper is to explore the association between socioeconomic status and "selected midpoints" linked to smoking cessation in Brazil. Data was collected from a representative sample of urban adult smokers as part of the ITC-Brazil Survey (2009, N = 1,215). After controlling for age and gender, there were no statistically significant differences quit attempts in the last six months between individuals with different socioeconomic status. However, smokers with high socioeconomic status visited a doctor 1.54 times more often than those with low socioeconomic status (p-value = 0.017), and were also 1.65 times more likely to receive advice to quit smoking (p-value = 0.025). Our results demonstrate that disparities in health and socioeconomic status are still a major challenge for policymakers to increase the population impact of tabacco control actions worldwide.

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar la asociación entre status socioeconómico y "puntos intermedios seleccionados", relacionados con la prohibición del tabaco en Brasil. En base a la investigación ITC-Brasil, se recogió información de una muestra representativa de la población urbana adulta de fumadores (2009, N = 1.215), tras ajustarla por edad y sexo, no se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las tentativas de dejar de fumar en los últimos 6 meses según el status socioeconómico. No obstante, los fumadores con un elevado status socioeconómico visitaron un médico 1,54 veces más que aquellos con un bajo status socioeconómico (p = 0,017) y también recibieron 1,65 veces más asesoría para dejar de fumar (p = 0,025).

Resumo O artigo tem por objetivo contribuir na identificação das condições e tendências de acesso e utilização dos serviços da atenção primária em saúde (APS) pelos idosos brasileiros nos anos de 2008, 2013 e 2019. Um estudo transversal em painéis com análise descritiva dos percentuais e intervalos de confiança das variáveis elencadas, no qual foram resgatados os dados relativos à população idosa investigada no Suplemento Saúde da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílios (PNAD) do ano 2008 e da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS) 2013 e 2019. Inicialmente identificou-se que, apesar da APS ter sido o principal serviço procurado mediante a necessidade de assistência, houve uma tendência de redução para esta procura em todas as regiões brasileiras, principalmente entre as mulheres idosas, na faixa etária de 60-69 anos e na população de raça/cor branca. Verificou-se um aumento de 15,2% no quantitativo de domicílios cadastrados na Unidade de Saúde da Família; 4,5% na procura por lugar, serviço ou profissional de saúde; e de 31,4% na população atendida. Os principais fatores de não atendimento foram não conseguir vaga/senha e não ter médico atendendo. E, dentre os investigados, verificou-se uma tendência de crescimento entre os que tinham o diagnóstico de hipertensão arterial sistêmica, diabetes mellitus e multimorbidades. Abstract This paper aims to identify the conditions and trends in access and use of primary health care (PHC) services by Brazilian older adults in 2008, 2013, and 2019. We performed a cross-sectional panel study with a descriptive analysis of the percentages and confidence intervals of the variables listed, in which data on the elderly population investigated in the Health Supplement of the 2008 National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) and the 2013 and 2019 National Health Surveys (PNS) were obtained. We initially identified that, while PHC was the primary service sought for care needs, this demand tended to decline in all Brazilian regions, among older women, the 60-69 years age group, and whites. The number of households registered with the USF increased 15.2%; the search for a place, service, or health professional by 4.5%; and the population served by 31.4%. The main factors of non-attendance were not being able to get a vacancy/service ticket and doctor unavailability. A growing trend was observed among those diagnosed with Systemic Arterial Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, and multimorbidities among those investigated.

Neste trabalho analisou-se a assistência ao parto, caracterizando o perfil das principais maternidades e o deslocamento da clientela, ou seja, o fluxo entre residência e local de nascimento. Os indicadores utilizados foram construídos a partir do Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) em 1995 e da Pesquisa sobre Assistência Médico-Sanitária (AMS), com dados para 1992. Através de classificação multivariada foram identificados dois tipos de maternidades: um com grande número de partos cesáreos, boas condições da parturiente e recém-nato; e outro com maior proporção de partos espontâneos e indicadores que apontam riscos do recém-nascido. As proporções de: mães com escolaridade igual ou superior ao ensino médio, mães adolescentes e partos cesáreos são os indicadores que melhor caracterizaram os grupos. Identificou-se grande heterogeneidade na distribuição espacial das maternidades, concentrados nas regiões mais ricas da cidade, determinando, conseqüentemente, longos trajetos das gestantes na busca da assistência ao parto.The purpose of this paper is to identify and describe Rio de Janeiro maternity hospital profiles and the route between the mother's place of residence and the hospital. Data sources were: the State Live Birth Information System (1995) and the National Survey on Medical Care (1992). Two groups of maternity hospitals were identified using multivariate cluster analysis. Group A had an extremely high cesarean rate (81%), with mothers and neonates presenting good health conditions. Cesarean rates were lower in Group B, although still high (32%), and other variables reflected worse neonatal conditions. Cesarean rate was the indicator which best discriminated between the groups, followed by proportion of adolescent mothers and mothers with a high school education. The uneven spatial distribution of maternity hospitals, which were concentrated in the richest area of the city, was a factor in the long routes used by women to reach medical care for childbirth.

Resumo O desabastecimento de medicamentos já é considerado um problema de saúde pública e representa um obstáculo importante para a garantia do acesso a eles e, consequentemente, do direito à saúde. Sendo assim, com o intuito de compreender melhor esse fenômeno, este artigo buscou identificar, descrever e caracterizar as publicações científicas da saúde que versam sobre o tema de desabastecimento de medicamentos e identificar as lacunas de pesquisa. Para tanto, realizou-se revisão narrativa da literatura científica na base de dados PubMed. Os resultados foram selecionados de acordo com o título e resumo, e os dados foram extraídos do texto completo. Além de uma análise quantitativa, também foi realizada uma síntese qualitativa dos estudos, explicitando as principais causas, estratégias de enfrentamento, discussões conceituais e a descrição do problema contido nas publicações incluídas. Foram analisados 98 artigos, a maioria foi publicada a partir do ano de 2011, nos EUA, citando diversos medicamentos e com o foco na descrição do problema. Os resultados deste estudo sugerem a contemporaneidade do problema, o uso da literatura científica como denúncia e a falta de estudos sobre o tema em países de baixa e média renda e que se voltem a compreender suas causas. Abstract The shortage of medicines is already considered a public health problem that affects several regions worlwide and is a major obstacle to ensure access to medicines and, consequently, the right to health. Thus, in order to better understand this phenomenon, this article sought to identify, describe and characterize the medical scientific publications that deal with the issue of medicines shortages and to identify the gaps on this theme. For that, a narrative review of the medical scientific literature was carried out in the PubMed database. The results were selected according to the title and abstract, and the data were extracted from the full text. In addition to quantitative analysis, a qualitative synthesis of the studies was also performed, identifying the mentioned causes, coping strategies, conceptual discussions and problem description. We analyzed 98 papers, most of them published since the year 2011, in the United States, citing various drugs and with a focus on describing the problem. The results of this study suggest the contemporaneous of the problem, the use of scientific literature as drug shortages denunciation, the lack of studies in low- and middle-income settings, and a gap in studies that investigates the causes of medicines shortages.

Objectives: to understand the social relations of health workers in primary care for the regulation of health care from the perspective of social networks; identify the role of the actors in the social networks; describe the importance of the actors to the implementation of access to health services. Descriptive study with quantitative and qualitative approaches, using as its basis four primary health care units; sector control and evaluation, Out of Home Treatment (OHT), and the administration of primary care. There were 12 participants in the study; four nurses, three community health workers, a doctor, a primary care coordinator, two OHT specialists, and a representative from control and evaluation. To collect data, scripted semi-structured interviews were opted for. The data were collected in December 2015 and January 2016. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee according to Section 728.664. Data were analyzed through Social Network Analysis (SNA), to generate measures of the centrality of actors and the creation of a sociogram. For this, we used the software Ucinet and Gephi, respectively, for calculating the measures and the creation of the sociogram. Content analysis was used for the qualitative segment. Results: the actors with a greater degree of centrality are: control and evaluation, the primary care coordinator and the OHT specialists. These are also central in relation to intermediation; however, the nurse also appears as central in relation to intermediation, which confirms their role as mediator and articulator. Through analysis of the interviews, four categories emerged: referral to specialized care; team relationships; primary networks and access to social and professional contacts. Social interactions between the actors promote the flow of information throughout the network and affect, positively, the responses of health services offered to the population. Participants pointed out that the referrals for specialized care within the municipality are made by the patient himself, who schedules an appointment in the specialty center, with exceptions made for the elderly, pregnant women and children, whose appointments are made by the unit itself; outside the municipality, the user takes any necessary documents to the health department, where the OHT schedules the appointment; when the regulatory system is inadequate, and before any adverse situation arises, these professionals make use of contacts with their peers to ensure access for patients. It is concluded that social networks are mobilized to ensure users' access to services when formal channels are insufficient. The way in which the network is structured and how social relations occur between teams reflects on the quality of the service provided and, consequently, on the continuity, or not, of care. This guarantees unwavering quality care, consistent with the principles governing the National Health System. Este estudo tem como objeto as redes sociais de trabalhadores em saúde para o acesso aos serviços de atenção especializada. Objetivos: conhecer as relações sociais dos trabalhadores em saúde da atenção básica para a regulação da assistência à saúde na perspectiva da rede social; identificar o papel dos atores na rede social; descrever a importância dos atores para a efetivação do acesso aos serviços de saúde. Estudo descritivo com abordagem quantiqualitativa, tendo como cenário quatro unidades de atenção básica, setor controle e avaliação, Tratamento Fora de Domicílio (TFD) e coordenadoria de atenção básica. Participaram do estudo 12 trabalhadores, sendo quatro enfermeiros, três agentes comunitários de saúde, um médico, um coordenador da atenção básica, dois do TFD e um do controle e avaliação. Para a coleta dos dados, optou-se pela entrevista semiestruturada, mediante um roteiro. Os dados foram coletados em dezembro de 2015 e janeiro de 2016. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa conforme parecer 728.664. Os dados foram analisados através da Análise de Redes Sociais (ARS), que permite gerar as medidas de centralidades dos atores e a construção do sociograma. Para isto, foram utilizados os softwares Ucinet e Gephi, para cálculo das medidas e criação do sociograma, respectivamente. Para o segmento qualitativo, utilizou-se Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: os atores com maior centralidade de grau são: controle e avaliação, coordenador da atenção básica e coordenador do TFD. Estes também são centrais em relação à intermediação; no entanto, o enfermeiro aparece como central em relação à intermediação, o que corrobora seu papel de intermediador e articulador. Através da análise das entrevistas, quatro categorias emergiram: encaminhamento para a atenção especializada; relacionamento com a equipe; redes primárias e acesso e contatos socioprofissionais. As interações sociais entre os atores favorecem a circulação de informação por toda rede e afeta, positivamente, nas respostas dos serviços de saúde ofertados à população. Os participantes apontaram que os encaminhamentos para a atenção especializada dentro do município são feitos pelo próprio usuário, o qual agenda sua consulta no centro de especialidades, exceção feita aos idosos, gestantes e crianças, cujas marcações ficam a cargo da própria unidade; fora do município, o usuário leva os documentos para a secretaria de saúde e o TFD faz as marcações; quando o sistema de regulação se mostra insuficiente, e diante de alguma situação adversa, os profissionais lançam mão dos contatos com seus pares para garantir o acesso a seus usuários. Conclui-se que as redes sociais são mobilizadas para garantir o acesso dos usuários aos serviços quando as vias formais forem insuficientes. A forma com que a rede se articula e como ocorrem as relações sociais e entre equipes refletem na qualidade do serviço prestado e, consequentemente, na continuidade ou não do cuidado. Assim, garante-se um cuidado de qualidade e resoluto e em concordância com os princípios que regem o Sistema Único de Saúde.

RESUMO O estudo busca caracterizar os processos microrregulatórios desenvolvidos por uma Unidade Básica de Saúde para garantir a integralidade do cuidado. Trata-se de um estudo de caso com abordagem etnográfica e emprego das técnicas de análise documental, observação participante e entrevistas. Os resultados apontam duas dimensões interdependentes da microrregulação do acesso: uma interna - acesso dos usuários às ofertas de cuidado da própria unidade; e outra externa - acesso aos demais serviços da rede. A unidade não atua como coordenadora efetiva do cuidado, como o estabelecido pelo Ministério da Saúde, tarefa que depende do desenvolvimento de arranjos de comunicação e da troca de informações entre os serviços. ABSTRACT This paper seeks to characterize the micro-regulatory processes developed by a Primary Health Care Service (PHCS) to ensure the integrality of the care. This is a case study with an ethnographic approach and the use of document analysis techniques, participant observation and interviews. The results point to two interrelated dimensions of micro-regulatory access: one internal - user access to health care offers of the Primary Health Care Service itself; and other external - access to others network services. The Primary Health Care Service does not act as an effective health care coordinator, as the established by the Ministry of Health, a task that depends on the development of communication arrangements and the exchange of information among services.

A atenção às urgências é uma questão complexa e emblemática no contexto da implementação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Este estudo teve como objetivo apresentar uma revisão sobre a organização dos serviços de saúde para atenção às urgências no Brasil, considerando os pressupostos da Política Nacional de Atenção às Urgências e do SUS. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica, do tipo narrativa, nas bases de dados SciELO e BVS entre 1999 e 2009 que totalizou 12 produções. Apesar dos avanços nas diretrizes políticas de atenção às urgências, a organização e estruturação dos serviços apresentam fragilidades e contradições em relação ao conceito de que a todos os pacientes será garantido o acolhimento em uma rede de atendimento de forma regionalizada, hierarquizada e regulada, de acordo com a complexidade tecnológica. Esse cenário gera transtornos e problemas, tanto aos serviços e profissionais, como aos usuários, que sofrem, respectivamente, pela sobrecarga de trabalho e por não terem, muitas vezes, suas necessidades de saúde atendidas. O estudo sinaliza alguns nós críticos que precisam ser discutidos e transpostos pelos profissionais das equipes de saúde e enfermagem visando à efetivação das políticas de atenção às urgências nos serviços de saúde. The attention to emergency is a complex matter and symbolic in the implementation of the Brazilian National Health Care System – [SUS-Sistema Único de Saúde]. This paper aims to present a review on the organization of health services for emergency attention in Brazil, considering the presuppositions of the National Urgent Care Policy and SUS. This is a review of the narrative kind, in databases BVS and SciELO between 1999 and 2009 that totalized 12 productions. Despite advances in the policy guidelines’ urgent care, the organization and structuring of services has presented fragilities and contradictions regarding the concept that all patients will be guaranteed the host on a network of care in a regionalized, hierarchical and regulated in accordance with technological complexity. This scenario creates trouble and problems, both for the services and professionals and users, who suffer, respectively due to the overload of work and the fact of not having their health needs fulfilled. The study signals some critical nodes that need to be discussed and implemented by the health and nursing team for the effectiveness of policies to emergency attention in the health services.

Neste trabalho analisou-se a assistência ao parto, caracterizando o perfil das principais maternidades e o deslocamento da clientela, ou seja, o fluxo entre residência e local de nascimento. Os indicadores utilizados foram construídos a partir do Sistema de Informação sobre Nascidos Vivos (SINASC) em 1995 e da Pesquisa sobre Assistência Médico-Sanitária (AMS), com dados para 1992. Através de classificação multivariada foram identificados dois tipos de maternidades: um com grande número de partos cesáreos, boas condições da parturiente e recém-nato; e outro com maior proporção de partos espontâneos e indicadores que apontam riscos do recém-nascido. As proporções de: mães com escolaridade igual ou superior ao ensino médio, mães adolescentes e partos cesáreos são os indicadores que melhor caracterizaram os grupos. Identificou-se grande heterogeneidade na distribuição espacial das maternidades, concentrados nas regiões mais ricas da cidade, determinando, conseqüentemente, longos trajetos das gestantes na busca da assistência ao parto. The purpose of this paper is to identify and describe Rio de Janeiro maternity hospital profiles and the route between the mother's place of residence and the hospital. Data sources were: the State Live Birth Information System (1995) and the National Survey on Medical Care (1992). Two groups of maternity hospitals were identified using multivariate cluster analysis. Group A had an extremely high cesarean rate (81%), with mothers and neonates presenting good health conditions. Cesarean rates were lower in Group B, although still high (32%), and other variables reflected worse neonatal conditions. Cesarean rate was the indicator which best discriminated between the groups, followed by proportion of adolescent mothers and mothers with a high school education. The uneven spatial distribution of maternity hospitals, which were concentrated in the richest area of the city, was a factor in the long routes used by women to reach medical care for childbirth.

O artigo apresenta proposta de operacionalização das categorias acesso e descentralização em modelo de análise de sistemas de saúde. Admite a hipótese de que se o sistema de saúde é descentralizado, ele vai permitir maior acesso dos usuários ao sistema. Pretende-se com essa proposta contribuir com uma maior vinculação dessas categorias na realidade observada. This paper presents a proposal for operationalization of access and decentralization in a health systems analytical model. It supports the hypothesis that decentralization of health systems fosters better access by users. This proposal is intended to contribute to a closer link between these categories and observed reality.
