Vigilância em saúde: estudo de um currículo de graduação da área de saúde do Distrito Federal.

Abstract

The changes in the health context associated with the cultural, technological and social changes experienced in recent years have led to debates about the need for changes in the organization of the care model to meet the health demands of the population. In this scenario, health surveillance emerges as an assistance model that seeks to incorporate and overcome current models, implying redefinition of the object and means of work, activities, technical and social relations, as well as health organizations and health culture. Considering the importance of these modifications, many efforts have been made in recent years to qualify the training of human resources in order to consolidate the SUS model, however, these attempts have not yet proved sufficient. The objective of this research was to analyze the integration of health surveillance in an undergraduate course at a health school in the Federal District. This is a qualitative, descriptive and documentary research. Two data collection instruments were constructed, one for the evaluation of the pedagogical project of the course and the other for the pedagogical guidance materials used in the theoretical and practical classes. The data were collected with the documents used in the nursing course of the Higher School of Health Sciences, with group IV, in the period from 2012 to 2016. Most of the indicators of the pedagogical project of course were sufficiently contemplated. In the evaluation of the materials used in the theoretical and practical axes, it was possible to identify that there is an integration of health monitoring to training, but its approach does not contemplate it as a care model. These results are similar to the discussions presented in other studies that pointed out the predominance of the epidemiological approach in the training of human resources in health and also in the conception of professionals of these services. It was concluded that despite this, the analyzed institution proposes a more contextualized formation with the policies of management and organization of the care, aiming at the integral, humanized and efficient assistance to the subjects.
