Abstract:This study sought to show the importance of discussing territoriality more adequately in Brazil. A continuous reevaluation of all health programs is needed for populations in each of the areas where they live. Then, it will be possible to correct the incidence rate of tuberculosis for specific populations in the state, taking into account populations in each place of residence and considering their specificities and differences. In conclusion, in the light of the present study, it is necessary to discuss more … Show more
“…These data show a higher incidence in such population, according to studies which concluded that indigenous groups are the most vulnerable to TB infection. [22][23][24][25] Regarding the georeferenced analysis of TB cases in nonindigenous populations, few cities showed a decrease in the mean coefficient of incidence during the transition from the 2005-2007 to the 2008-2010 three-year period. Nonetheless, there was a steady reduction in the incidence of cases in the group of cities included in the 6 th and 10 th CRS.…”
Distribuição espacial de tuberculose nas populações indígenas e não indígenas do estado doCenters in Pará. The tuberculosis incidence rates were calculated for indigenous and non-indigenous populations in the 13 regions and maps were prepared to visualize the magnitude of the occurrence of tuberculosis. Results: Significant differences in the incidence of tuberculosis were found among non-indigenous and indigenous populations, reaching 7,812/100,000 inhabitants and 118/100,000 inhabitants respectively. Conclusion: Tuberculosis was distributed heterogeneously among the indigenous and non-indigenous populations. Moreover, it was possible to identify areas with high risk for this disease. It is important to note that knowledge about priority areas for tuberculosis control can help health service management to improve indicators that assess this disease and to develop different policies for indigenous peoples.Keywords: Tuberculosis; Indigenous Population; Spatial Analysis. Método: Estudio ecológico partir de datos del SINAN, estratificado para los 13 Centros Regionales de Salud existentes en Pará.Se calcularon las tasas de incidencia de tuberculosis en indígenas y no indígenas en las 13 regiones, y se confeccionaron los mapas para visualizar la magnitud de la incidencia de la tuberculosis. Resultados: Se encontró diferencias significativas en la incidencia de la tuberculosis entre la población no indígena y indígena, llegando a 7.812/100 mil habitantes y 118/100 mil habitantes. Conclusión: Se observó que la tuberculosis presenta una distribución heterogénea entre la población indígena y no indígena, y se pudo identificar las zonas con alto riesgo de la enfermedad. Es importante tener en cuenta que el conocimiento de las áreas prioritarias para el control de la tuberculosis puede ayudar a la gestión de los servicios de salud, para mejorar los índices que evalúan la enfermedad y desarrollar diferentes políticas para los pueblos indígenas.

“…13 The increase in the rate of abandonment of treatment, the deterioration of health services due to the decrease of investments in the sector are also problems faced in the Rio de Janeiro city. 37,38 In Brazil, the scarcity of recent studies on the epidemiology of MDR-TB in the country makes difficult the process of showing the real situation the disease in territory based on its determining and conditioning factors, be they social, cultural or clinical-epidemiological.…”
Objetivos: Descrever as características dos casos de abandono do tratamento de tuberculose em pacientes que desenvolveram TBMR. Métodos: Estudo descritivo de abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido em uma instituição terciária de referência para tratamento de TBMR localizada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Foi utilizado instrumento estruturado com informações de quarenta prontuários entre os meses de agosto a dezembro de 2016. A análise dos dados foi realizada através do software SPSS. Resultados: dos pacientes estudados, 35% abandonaram tratamento anterior de Tuberculose.Conclusão e implicação para a prática: é necessária a identificação precoce de pacientes que apresentam maior risco para abandono do tratamento, bem como a criação de um modelo de assistência voltado ao perfil dos usuários que abandonam o tratamento, com uma prática participativa, com grupos educativos que promovam ações preventivas, identificando, estudando estratégias para a superação de barreiras ligadas à realidade, de vida individual e coletiva.
“…Em relação à etnia, na maioria das notificações os pacientes se intitularam brancos, em concordância com outros estudos. Essa informação pode estar associada ao modo como as pessoas se definem no ato do preenchimento da notificação, e não a uma predominância real da doença por raças 19,21 . A situação de rua e a institucionalização podem ser considerados ambientes de grande vulnerabilidade devido à aglomeração de pessoas, pouca condição de higiene, nutrição precária, uso de álcool e drogas, e difícil acesso aos serviços de saúde.…”
