To assess the quality of the primary health care network, the Ministry of Health created the Program for Improving Access and Quality in Primary Care (PMAQ), a national evaluation of family health teams. Thus, this study aims to present the geolocation of PMAQ 2012 quality indicators in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The PMAQ data show that, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, 65% of the teams achieved the performances “good” or “excellent,” 34.7% “regular,” and 0.3% “unsatisfactory.” The results show a clear PMAQ polarization between teams units classified as optimal and regular in program areas 5 and 3, respectively.
Resumo Objetivo Descrever o estágio do envelhecimento populacional no município do Rio de Janeiro. Métodos Estudo ecológico tendo como unidades de observação os 160 bairros que compõem o município, utilizando indicadores sociais e demográficos construídos a partir de informações do Censo 2010. Realizou-se análise exploratória por meio de mapas temáticos e determinou-se a dependência espacial pelo Índice de Moran Global. Para agrupar bairros em estágios semelhantes do envelhecimento foi realizada uma análise de agrupamento a partir do método K-means. Resultados Encontraram-se três grupos de bairros em estágios diferentes de envelhecimento populacional, identificando-se uma tendência espacial no sentido oeste-leste com os bairros da “Zona Sul” se encontrando no estágio mais avançado de envelhecimento. Conclusão O estudo identificou as diferenças no processo de envelhecimento populacional e na composição etária dos bairros, apontando para a necessidade de políticas de saúde pública específicas que contemplem as particularidades desse processo em cada localidade, visando garantir um envelhecimento sustentável.
The world is now facing the most severe health, social, and economic event of the last hundred years, which has made the need to acquire statistical thinking to interpret the information disseminated on a daily basis by the media clear to society. This article proposes a discussion on the role that statistics education might play in supporting the acquisition of such knowledge, contributing to the development of critical citizens, aware of their social responsibility. In this context, we present examples of curves and other charts to demonstrate how to use the several levels defined by experts in reading and interpreting the charts. At a more advanced level, these examples will allow discussion on the impacts of this epidemic on the most vulnerable population in Brazil. The charts presented reveal a great regional inequality, suggesting that mortality due to the virus is distinguished by region and micro-region when considering access to hospital beds. The examples signpost ways for educators to be able to develop projects or research based on the discussion on the reality of the pandemic, the necessary public policies, and how political coordination grounded on science and on a humanitarian vision would have mitigated the Brazilian tragedy.
