Utilização de serviços de saúde de atenção básica em municípios da metade sul do Rio Grande do Sul: análise baseada em sistemas de informação

This study is proposed to describe the supply and demand of Primary Health Care Service in thirteen municipalities of the southern half of Rio Grande do Sul State. For analysis, secondary data were obtained from the Data Processing Department of the Unified Health System (DATASUS). Data from appointments, procedures and structure of Primary Health Care Service were associated with concepts present in public policies and specific legal authorization. A quantitative study was carried out through the analyses of absolute frequencies of appointments and procedures from 2000 to 2005. Results showed diversified situations requiring primary health care service, which allowed different interpretations for the situations found. Among them, it can be cited the existence of a database with sub-notifications of appointments and procedures or even the absence of demand and/or supply for those within the municipalities researched. It is suggested the improvement of the mechanisms available for the analysis of primary health care services, which will enable the outlining of possible workflows, trajectories and therapeutic itineraries of users as well as the unveiling of likely local disparities regarding health.

Social heterogeneity and children's nutrition in the rural environment

Objetivos: o estudo insere-se num Programa Interdisciplinar de Pesquisa e objetiva conhecer a situacao nutricional e o contexto de vida do universo de criancas menores de cinco anos do meio rural de Arambare/RS, Brasil, por meio de um estudo epidemiologico do tipo seccional descritivo. Metodos: os dados da avaliacao antropometrica (peso/idade, idade/estatura, peso/estatura) expressos em escore z, como populacao de referencia a do National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), foram analisados no Epinut, e os do formulario semi-estruturado aplicado ao responsavel da crianca, foram analisados via estatistica descritiva no Epi-info 6.04. Resultados: constata-se que os problemas nutricionais variam dentro da heterogeneidade social presente no municipio o que representa diferentes graus de vulnerabilidade ao adoecimento. Conclusoes: este estudo demonstra a importância de compreender as dinâmicas sociais que modulam os comportamentos dos individuos e repercutem sobre sua saude. Objectives: this study is inserted in an Interdisciplinary Program of Research and aims to learn about the nutritional situation and life context of children under five in the rural environment of Arambare/RS, Brazil, through an epidemiological cross-sectional descriptive study. Method: the data of anthropometrical assessment (Weight/Age, Age/Height, Weight/Height) expressed in Z scores, whose reference population is that of the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) were analyzed in the Epinut software, and the semi-structured form applied to the child’s responsible was analyzed through descriptive statistics in the Epi-Info 6.04. Results: It is evidenced that the nutritional problems vary within the social heterogeneity present in the municipality. There are different levels of vulnerability to illness. Conclusion: this study demonstrates the importance of understanding the social dynamics modelling individual behavior that reflects on health.OBJECTIVES this study is inserted in an Interdisciplinary Program of Research and aims to learn about the nutritional situation and life context of children under five in the rural environment of Arambaré/RS, Brazil, through an epidemiological cross-sectional descriptive study.
