Embora a presença de voluntários em organizações hospitalares remonta a vários séculos o trabalho voluntário tem sido negligenciado por estudiosos das organizações e particularmente da administração de sistemas complexos como os hospitais. Mais recentemente, a gestão do trabalho voluntário tem se constituído em atividade relevante para a gestão hospitalar e começa a merecer maior atenção. O presente estudo tem como objetivo examinar as práticas de gestão do trabalho voluntário desenvolvido em um hospital comunitário brasileiro. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, de caráter descritivo, em que são examinadas as práticas gerenciais desenvolvidas com o trabalho voluntário analisando sua relevância, bem como os desafios encontrados em sua gestão em um Hospital Comunitário. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semi estruturadas com gestores e voluntários, além da análise documental e observação não participante. A análise revelou que o trabalho voluntário caracteriza-se por contribuir, efetivamente, para a humanização, maior integração dos setores, e utilização de recursos internos, e melhoria da gestão do próprio hospital além de reforçar a imagem social e legitimidade institucional. Observou-se que a gestão do trabalho voluntário enfrenta desafios relacionados à escassez de recursos e falta de maior profissionalização da gestão do trabalho voluntário. As conclusões apontam para a necessidade de maior e melhor qualificação da gestão do voluntariado com impacto positivo na melhoria da qualidade dos serviços hospitalares e do desempenho organizacional.
Na gestão das instituições de saúde, em especial das estruturas hospitalares, a hipótese de que o trabalho voluntário proporciona mais eficiência na assistência hospitalar é um pensamento comum ao longo da prática cotidiana dessas instituições. No entanto, faltam evidências quantitativas de apoio a esse argumento. Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar o efeito do trabalho voluntário na qualidade do atendimento, mais especificamente, o efeito na satisfação do usuário, na taxa média de permanência e na taxa de infecções hospitalares, em uma Instituição Hospitalar Universitária do Sul do Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo baseado em relatórios gerenciais internos, cujas análises foram realizadas por meio de regressões múltiplas, testes de normalidade de resíduos e testes de multicolinearidade. Os resultados apontam para dois indicadores claros da eficácia do trabalho voluntário: Taxa Média de Permanência e Taxa Média de Infecção Hospitalar. Ambos demonstram que, além de promover a humanização da assistência, o trabalho voluntário contribui para a qualidade da assistência à saúde no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS).
Background This study aimed to describe the general and specific context of hospitalizations for acute myocardial infarction (IAM) in the Brazilian public health system and its main indicators of economic care in the pre- and post-coronavirus-disease (COVID-19) period. Methods The main assistance and economic indicators of care related to IAM, together with the Brazilian public health system, were evaluated in the period between January 2011 and April 2021, comparing the pre- and post-pandemic indicators. The research figures were descriptive and exploratory, using data from the Ministry of Health. The main data evaluated were lethality, number of hospitalizations, average length of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs. The ARIMA and general regression models were used to analyze the monthly outcomes pre and post COVID-19, thus enabling the alteration of care and economic behavior of IAM cases with the public health system. Results Hospitalization for IAM has been on the rise for the past 10 years, with a slight decrease after COVID-19. There was an equally slight increase in lethality, with a significant decrease in the mean length of stay of hospitalized patients. The economic aspects of IAM show that more than US$ 762 million were invested during the reporting period. The average ticket presents a clear decrease in investment per capita, with a real devaluation of 70.04% in the period from 2011 to April 2021, which may be related to two main hypotheses: (1) increased effectiveness and (2) cost analysis of the effectiveness of care and/or chronic underfunding of the Brazilian public health system. Conclusions There was a historical increase in hospitalizations and a reduction in IAM-related deaths.
Since the end of the 19th century, spirituality in health has been increasingly studied, especially in recent years. The degree of subjective understanding makes it possible to measure the extent to which bibliometric studies can be identified, thus increasing their importance as a fundamental element for health service users’ quality of health as well as improving the ambience and humanization in health. In this context, this research aimed to identify and present the main characteristics of the evolution of global research on spirituality and health. This is applied research with a quantitative and exploratory approach in which bibliometric analysis is done. The Web of Science, PubMed, Sage Journal, Scopus, and Scielo databases were utilized to search all fields of knowledge for studies with the theme of spirituality. We searched for categories with a focus on health and set the period as the initial year of the databases until July 2021. The results of mapping included the number of publications over the years, the number of publications by country and university and their networks, the categories of the most studied research, the authors, co-authors, and the most cited keywords and their relationship networks. Results indicated significant growth in health spirituality research, particularly in the years 2020 and 2021, as well as its main characteristics, thus proposing an effective contribution to understanding the state of the theme of spirituality as it is applied to health.
In Brazil, periphery schools challenge the rulers and managers. In this context, identifying and combining stakeholder interests is a complex but foundational task for the perennity of these institutions. This research aims to analyze the influence of stakeholders in a periphery school through an exploratory and descriptive case study. Semi-structured interviews and a documentary analysis were conducted. The data were processed, and the analysis was conducted using ATLAS.ti and UCINET software. The results indicate that the main influences of stakeholders are in the dynamics and forms of management, the organization of the curriculum, the profile and training of teachers, and the relationship with the community and students.
