Programa Pesquisa para o SUS: a contribuição para gestão e serviços de saúde na Paraíba, Brasil

Abstract

The shared management in health of the Research Program for the Unified Health System (PPSUS) has the purpose of funding research in priority areas for the health of the Brazilian population. The scope of this qualitative study is to understand the researchers' perception of the contribution of research funded by the PPSUS invitations to bid in the State of Paraiba, for resolving the priority health problems of the Paraiba population, for reducing regional inequalities in health and for bolstering the management of SUS. A documentary survey of the bids and final reports of research and a semi-structured interview with 28 coordinators of these studies was conducted. Triangulation strategy of data was used and subsequently subjected to content analysis, which converged with the categories: solving the health problems; reducing regional inequalities; contribution to management. Paraiba state needs adjustments such that the PPSUS can be fully implemented, ensuring that the knowledge generated can be converted into health policies and actions, since the research funded respond to the health needs of the population and difficulties in SUS management.

Processos e desafios da interação entre pesquisa e política na perspectiva dos pesquisadores

“…Authors demonstrate that, from the viewpoint of respondents, communication of results to managers, health professionals and public opinion; the incorporation of research into health policies; the contribution of research to solve health problems, improve conditions and strengthen management of the health system and services were less recognized issues vis-à-vis sustained funding, the capacity to produce valid results and publication of papers [15][16][17] .…”

Avaliação das pesquisas nos cenários da atenção primária à saúde: produção, disseminação e utilização dos resultados

“…Much has been discussed and published about the ethical commitment and responsibility of the researcher face the resources offered by the government for research funding (Carvalho et al, 2016;Celino et al, 2013;Santos et al, 2010). However, little has been argued about the ethical responsibility of these researchers (including graduate students) in developing their research in priority areas and in committing themselves to topics that are relevant for the society, as what has been observed are very repetitive themes, subjects that have already been researched in a very similar way by other researchers (ST) and rarely one can see innovative research that is relevant for the health system (MT).…”

“…One must consider that the choice of research themes is not free of personal interests of each researcher, due to research lines with which they are already used to work (Bourdieu, 2004). In this perspective, Celino et al (2013) warn that scientifically produced knowledge relies too much on the interests of the own researcher, whose intent is not always to contribute to the solving of priority health problems of the population.…”

Programa Pesquisa para o SUS: desafios para aplicabilidade na gestão e serviços de saúde do Ceará

“…Em contrapartida, a influência da academia é criticada pelo gestor estadual, pelo destaque à 'realidade' do pesquisador, produzindo, assim, conhecimentos cientificamente apoiados nos interesses do próprio pesquisador, cuja intenção nem sempre é contribuir para a resolução dos problemas prioritários de saúde da população (CElino et al, 2013 Evidencia-se pelo discurso relações conflitantes nesse processo permeado por interesses diversos. O jogo de forças e poder em que são elencadas as prioridades seria mais bem equilibrado se houvesse plena participação dos sujeitos envolvidos (gestores, profissionais de saúde, prestadores de serviço, usuários, agências de fomento, órgãos formadores, pesquisadores, setor produtivo e sociedade civil organizada), desde as etapas iniciais; o que garantiria que o critério norteador para a definição dos temas prioritários de pesquisa fosse de fato a relevância sociossanitária e, ainda, que as questões de maior interesse para a formulação de políticas fossem levantadas.…”
