The consolidation of Unified Health System (“SUS”) demands the democratization of relationships; however, in its 30 years, the separation between management and health care has been remarkable. Thus, the objective was to know how scientific articles address health management in SUS. An integrative literature review was carried out in the Scielo and PePSIC databases with the descriptors: “health management”; “co-management”; and “participatory management”, with 16 articles remaining. Thematic content analysis followed, resulting in the categories: “conceptions about health management in SUS”; “difficulties for health management”; “potentialities of health management”; and “proposals for health management”. We concluded that is necessary to bring social actors closer together and consider aspects such as affectivity and subjectivity in the management process, allowing workers, managers and users - all SUS operators - to recognize themselves in health production.
The objective of this work was to understand the conceptions of health professionals about the relationship between management and the different services that constitute the public health network of a municipality in the southeastern region of Brazil. It used the Focus Group (FG) technique for data collection. Three FG were held with an average of 12 participants per meeting, totaling 38 participants. The Lexical Descending Hierarchical Classification analysis was applied with the support of the Iramuteq software. The results outlined four classes: Management-Service Relationship; Daily challenges of services; Sustainability of work in the territory and Prioritization of the user. The relationship between health services and management was marked by hierarchical practices. However, it was possible to verify that there are expectations regarding the establishment of a transversal relationship. Collective spaces and user participation in care management are considered as important elements for co-management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
