Health is a basic human right, and drug use represents a severe influence on people's health. This qualitative study aimed to understand how health professionals in a public health-care team working with drug users in a city of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, perceive the human rights of these users and how these rights are being respected in health care. Data were collected through semistructured interviews with 10 health professionals at the service under analysis. A thematic analysis of the interviews reveals the professionals' difficulty to define the concept of human right and contextualize these rights in their work environment. A deeper understanding of the right to health, however, represents an important premise for a more humanized care practice in health services to drug users.
健康是一项基本人权,而药物使用对人们的健康构成严重影响。本定性研究旨在了解在巴西圣保罗州的一个城市中,为药物使用者提供服务的公共卫生保健团队中的卫生专业人员如何看待这些使用者的人权,以及这些权利在卫生保健中是如何得到尊重的。通过对分析服务中的 10 名卫生专业人员进行半结构化访谈来收集数据。对访谈的主题分析揭示了专业人员在定义人权概念和将这些权利置于其工作环境方面的困难。然而,更深入地理解健康权是为药物使用者提供更人性化的卫生服务实践的重要前提。
