Chronic kidney disease is a public health problem throughout the world. Early detection and treatment can reduce morbidity, mortality and associated expenditures. The objective of this research is to examine primary healthcare from a physician's perspective, evaluating the patient's access to other levels of healthcare. Questionnaires were given to 62 family physicians working in primary healthcare units in the city of Fortaleza. Glomerular filtration rate was measured by only 8.1% of the physicians when evaluating patients with diabetes and 4.8% when evaluating hypertensive patients. The majority of physicians (51.2%) refer patients with slight/moderate Glomerular filtration rate reduction to a nephrologist. On the other hand, 25.8% do not refer patients with advanced chronic kidney disease reduction to a specialist. The gap between these levels of healthcare creates a barrier to user access, prejudicing comprehensive healthcare. The creation of new work processes is urgently required and the matrix process is a viable option to connect these healthcare levels for the care of patients with chronic kidney disease or its main risk factors (diabetes and arterial hypertension).
Objetivo: Identificar a relação da espiritualidade e da religiosidade no empoderamento da mulher queimada por autoimolação. Métodos: Estudo qualitativo, realizado com cinco mulheres com sequelas de queimaduras por autoextermínio. A coleta de dados se deu nos meses de agosto e setembro de 2013 usando-se um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada. A análise baseou-se no método de “narrativa da doença” com suporte nos discursos das mulheres. Resultados: As mulheres com cicatriz hipertrófica apresentaram reações diversas e, com os discursos destas, emergiram as categorias: a) “Deus tirou tudo aquilo da minha cabeça”, que relatava a religião como ponto alto da salvação; b) “Estigma em relação ao corpo queimado”, na qual reconhece a estigmatização e a resposta da vítima diante da rejeição da sociedade. c) “O corpo e o autopreconceito”, representativas da não aceitação da nova imagem corporal, auto-rejeição, autopreconceito e a espiritualidade no processo de empoderamento da mulher queimada. Conclusão: A mulher vítima de queimadura demonstra múltiplas nuances em relação a autoimagem e autoestima. A fé na religião e na espiritualidade ajuda na superação dos conflitos pessoais e sociais.
