SummaryThe study objectives were to investigate the preference of Lithuanian dentists to work with or without an assistant and to identify the most significant predictors for the preference. As well, we aimed to explore the education of practicing dental assistants in Lithuania. The information was collected by a postal questionnaire survey which was carried out among all practicing general dental practitioners and dental specialists in Lithuania (n=2971). The final response rate was 67.6% corresponding to 2,008 respondents. The results show that most dentists in Lithuania always or sometimes work without an assistant. Each third dentist of those who work with an assistant employ non-certified dental assistant. This may be done on purpose due to financial reasons. Dentists should be educated how efficient, ergonomic practice with a qualified dental assistant can be; inclusion of contemporary four-handed practice subject in applicants resume could improve employment of certified dental assistants in the long term.

“…Em geral lhe é atribuída a função de oferecer apoio emocional ao paciente, à família e à equipe. Dentre os profissionais da equipe multidisciplinar, o psicólogo é o profissional cujo papel é o mais "obscuro", os demais profissionais não verbalizam como esse apoio deveria acontecer e qual seu significado (Saar, & Trevizan, 2007). Os psicólogos, por sua vez, se queixam da dificuldade em articular ações de saúde mental no âmbito da atenção básica, seja dentro da própria unidade ou com outros serviços.…”

Resumo: Este artigo discute o papel dos psicólogos na saúde pública a partir da visão dos profissionais que atuam junto a eles nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde (UBS). O objetivo foi investigar a visão desses profissionais sobre o papel e a importância da atuação do psicólogo. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa em que os dados analisados são resultantes de interações entre o investigador e os participantes da pesquisa. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas, baseadas em um roteiro, com 14 sujeitos de categorias profissionais distintas, escolhidos aleatoriamente em um universo de outros 54 sujeitos que responderam a um questionário anterior. Os resultados mostram o psicólogo como um profissional considerado importante e necessário às Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Porém, com uma identidade ambígua, devido às diferentes demandas para as quais é chamado a atender, relativas à saúde mental e à atenção primária. Nesse contexto, é esperado que o psicólogo cumpra um papel de mediador. Palavras-chave: Atuação do Psicólogo, Serviços de Saúde, Saúde Mental, Atenção Primária à Saúde. Perceptions of Other Professionals about the Work of Psychologists in Health Basic UnitsAbstract: This article discusses the role of psychologists in public health, from the perspective of other professionals working in Basic Health Units (BHU). The aim was to investigate the vision of these professionals about the role of the psychologist and about the importance of their work. Data of this qualitative study was a result of interactions between researcher and participants. Semi structured interviews were carried out based on a script, with 14 subjects from different professional categories who were randomly chosen from a universe of 54 persons that had responded to a previous questionnaire. The results show the psychologist is considered as an important and necessary professional to Health Basic Units. However, an ambiguous identity attributed to psychologists was revealed, due to the different demands they have to face, regarding both mental health and primary healthcare. In this context, it is expected that psychologists perform the role of moderators.
