Necessidade de aprimoramento do atendimento à saúde no sistema carcerário

Abstract

OBJECTIVETo analyze physical structure, working conditions of health professionals and outline of the procedures established in prisons.METHODSWe analyzed 34 provisional detention centers and 69 male and six female prison units in the state of Sao Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, in 2009. A self-applied instrument was developed to collect quantitative data on the characteristics of health care structure, equipment and personnel in prisons. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) or equivalent non-parametric tests and Chi-square or Fisher’s tests were used to compare categorical and continuous variables, respectively, between the groups.RESULTSThe main problems were delays in the results of laboratory tests and imaging. With respect to the teams, it was observed that a large majority were in conditions close to those proposed by the Bipartite Commission 2013 but without improvement being reflected in the indicators. With respect to the process, more than 60.0% of prisons located in small towns do not have the structural conditions to ensure secondary or tertiary health care for the continuity of treatment.CONCLUSIONSThis profile of prisons in the country can be used for planning and monitoring future actions for the continuous improvement of healthcare processes.
