To investigate the perception of male users of a home care service (, PMC) provided by the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil regarding the fulfilment of their health needs.
The present observational and descriptive study, with qualitative design, was performed with men registered with PMC in Cuité, a municipality located in the state of Paraíba, Northeastern Brazil. Ten of 19 men registered with PMC in Cuité were interviewed. Data collection was based on a semi-structured interview with participants. Results were analyzed using Bardin's content analysis of thematic categories.
Three thematic categories were identified: knowledge of participants regarding the health problem for which they were receiving home care; masculine perception regarding the health needs in the home; and perception of participants regarding the advantages of home care. The results showed that the men interviewed were unaware of many important aspects of their health condition, such as the reason for their inclusion in a home care program. Regarding the advantages of PMC, participants mentioned the quick response by health care workers, the avoidance of long waiting lines that are usual in public health care services, and the comfort of the home.
The acceptance and satisfaction of users with PMC was remarkable. However, a high level of unawareness regarding the participants' own health needs was observed. Additional studies are required to broaden the discussion regarding home care.
调查巴西统一卫生系统(SUS)提供的家庭护理服务(PMC)男性使用者对其健康需求满足情况的认知。
本研究为观察性描述性研究,采用定性设计,对巴西东北部帕拉伊巴州库伊泰市注册于PMC的男性进行研究。在库伊泰市注册于PMC的19名男性中,有10人接受了访谈。数据收集基于对参与者的半结构化访谈。结果采用巴丁主题分类内容分析法进行分析。
确定了三个主题类别:参与者对其接受家庭护理的健康问题的了解;对家庭健康需求的男性认知;参与者对家庭护理优势的认知。结果显示,接受访谈的男性对其健康状况的许多重要方面并不知晓,比如他们被纳入家庭护理项目的原因。关于PMC的优势,参与者提到医护人员的快速响应、避免了公共卫生服务中常见的长队等待以及在家中的舒适感。
使用者对PMC的接受度和满意度较高。然而,观察到参与者对自身健康需求的知晓程度较低。需要进一步开展研究以拓宽关于家庭护理的讨论。
