Descobrindo percursos para a pesquisa em saúde no trato com o movimento social

Abstract

This article is about methodology for scientific research in health, where the researcher is an important part of the object of investigation. The implementation of a broad-based Health Reform in Brazil depends on the involvement of users. It is important to guarantee these social rights. Many experiences sharing this concern are going on in this country. Still, research on the relationship between institutional work in health and the Social Movement lacks a predefined methodology. Therefore, the main objectives of this study are the following: to contribute to the discussion of possible ways of approaching the mechanisms of relationships between health and users of health services, and to collaborate with the development of the citizenship process. This work was done through theoretical research on participatory methodology and "action-based research". The following aspects are particularly important: definition of the object of study, self-positioning by the researcher, subjective explanations, documentary surveys and interviews for case studies, and feedback to theory. Finally, the author concludes that this methodology allows for an understanding of some mechanisms that explain the relationship between macro- and micro-structural analyses. In addition, one also observes a maturation process in the research protagonists.

Organizaciones sociales y salud: un análisis de prácticas y sentidos

“…En otro artículo (Zaldúa, Sopransi y Longo, 2007) Pereyra (2010) revisa los mecanismos de participación que se han ido incorporando a las opciones de los gestores de la salud en la región, tomando como referencia el caso chileno, advirtiendo la existencia de un nuevo paradigma en la participación ciudadana a partir de la nueva generación de reformas sociales centradas en la búsqueda de mayores niveles de inclusión social y de equidad. Smeke (1993) propone pensar posibles recorridos para la investigación en salud y movimientos sociales, pensando en la metodología de los trabajos científicos, pero también en el lugar del investigador. Para concretar una reforma sanitaria en Brasil, es necesaria la participación y compromiso de los usuarios para garantizar sus derechos.…”
