Adequação de recursos humanos ao PSF: percepção de formandos de dois modelos de formação acadêmica em odontologia

O Programa Saude da Familia - PSF foi instituido pelo governo federal objetivando reverter o modelo assistencial. Os recursos humanos envolvidos devem estar preparados para alcancar os objetivos que o PSF propoe. O proposito desse artigo foi avaliar os desejos, percepcoes e preparo de academicos de Odontologia, em relacao aos principios do PSF, de duas diferentes Faculdades de Odontologia, aqui denominadas Faculdades 1 e 2. Buscou-se ainda analisar se as faculdades tiveram potencial transformador sobre os academicos, graduando-os com compromisso social e sensibilidade humanitaria, considerados importantes para aqueles que querem trabalhar no PSF. Questionarios individuais foram aplicados por um unico pesquisador. As respostas foram analisadas pelo programa Epi-Info. Os resultados mostraram que prevalece entre os academicos o desejo de trabalhar no PSF por razoes ligadas as dificuldades do mercado de trabalho e os mesmos citam frequentemente a tecnica como a principal caracteristica necessaria a um dentista para que o mesmo atue no PSF. Por outro lado, diferencas estatisticamente significativas foram encontradas entre os academicos, apontando uma provavel influencia do Estagio Supervisionado, ministrado sob a forma de internato rural, sobre a formacao do academico da Faculdade 1, possivelmente habilitando-o melhor para o PSF.

Organização da atenção à saúde bucal prestada ao idoso nas equipes de saúde bucal da estratégia saúde da família

This study aimed to conduct a literature review on the oral health of the elderly, considering the need to organize oral health care for this age group in the routine of the Family Health Strategy. Data were collected, through BIREME Biblioteca Virtual na Saude-BVS, in databases BBO, LILACS and MEDLINE, in publications dated between 2000 and 2010, in Portuguese. We selected 46 publications. Official documents, policies involving health of the elderly were also surveyed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied and 23 scientific publications were selected for analysis. The articles confirm the need to organize oral health care of the elderly. Such organization requires the involvement of several specialties, not only due to the physiological process of aging, but also because in most cases this public displays multiple systemic changes. The elderly care needs the involvement of a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team, seeking health promotion and intersectoral support. Epidemiological studies indicate the poor oral health status of this population group. The organization of oral health care requires inter- and multi-disciplinary planning. Intersectoriality may contribute significantly to health promotion.

A formação de valores e a prática da atenção primária na saúde com estudantes de odontologia

The interventions that public health Brazilian system propose, denominated Unique Health System (UHS) depend on the value given to Primary Health Care (PHC). Therefore, human resources involved must be prepared. The aim of this study was to evaluate dimension concepts related to PHC by students of eight and nine periods of Dentistry Department of a Brazilian Public University, with the participation of a sample of students. In order to study the dimensions, one researcher applied individual questionnaires. The answers were analyzed with BioStat 4.0 program. Respondents understand broadly “the process health-disease” and that “adequate technologies” are limited to hard and medium technologies, with little mention to the use of soft technologies. With respect to “humanizing health care”, they belief that ethics represent a compromise with human dignity and that solidarity must be understood politically; furthermore, they establish a link between technical experience and responsibility, reflected in giving priority to the person. On the other hand, they do not understand that it is possible a deep study of ethics and solidarity, understanding them more as “values” which cannot be systematized in curricular content.
