“…[6][7][8][9] Despite being one of the objectives of the CHWs' work, only few studies have addressed the role of these workers in the Active Case Finding (ACF); they are faced difficulties in the development of such action, [10][11][12] showing that this requires knowledge beyond the technical aspects and that there is a need to incorporate a broad view of the health-disease process and their determinants in so far as they have a very close relationship with the community. Therefore, the CHWs have an important role in TB control, since their work involves options for expanding the Respiratory Symptoms (RS) access to the healthcare services, leading to early diagnosis and reduction of morbidity and mortality in the community, caused by TB.…”

This study analyzed the Community Health Workers' activity in active case finding in Ribeirão Preto-SP. Cross sectional study, conducted in [2009][2010], with the use of a structured form, which was applied to 105 Community Health Workers and research of secondary data. Indicators were created based on the variable means that used the Likert scale for the answers, being dissatisfactory (scores 1 and 2), regular (3) and satisfactory (4 and 5). Deficiencies in the activity of the Community Workers in the active case finding were identified (mean=3.0), in the discussion with the community about the tuberculosis (mean=1.5) and in the establishment of partnership in the region for the active case finding (mean=1.9). Only 6% of the expected respiratory symptoms in the areas where the units of the participants are located were examined. The results reinforced the need for nursing supervision, a new work logic, with advances in the intersectional articulation, aimed at increasing the detection of tuberculosis cases.

BUSCA DE PACIENTES SINTOMÁTICOS RESPIRATÓRIOS BÚSQUEDA DE PACIENTES SINTOMÁTICOS RESPIRATORIOS: ACTUACIÓN DEL AGENTE COMUNITARIO DE SALUD EN EL CONTROL DE LA TUBERCULOSIS EN UNA MUNICIPALIDAD GRANDE DE BRASIL RESUMEN:Este estudio examinó el papel del Agente Comunitario de Salud en la búsqueda de pacientes sintomáticos respiratorios en Ribeirão Preto-SP. Estudio transversal, realizado en 2009 utilizando formulario aplicado a 105 Agentes Comunitarios de Salud y consulta de datos secundarios. Los indicadores fueron creados a partir de medias de cuestiones que presentaron escala de respuesta tipo Likert, que se evaluó como insatisfactorio (valor de 1 y 2), regular (3), satisfactorio (4 y 5). Hubo deficiencias en el desempeño en búsqueda de sintomáticos respiratorios (media=3,0), discusión con la comunidad (media=1,5) y establecimiento de asociaciones en el territorio para búsqueda de sintomáticos respiratorios (media=1,9). Sólo 6% de los sintomáticos respiratorios esperados en las áreas de estudio fueron examinados. Se refuerza la necesidad de la enfermería en supervisión de los Agentes Comunitarios, una nueva lógica de trabajo, con avances en la coordinación intersectorial, teniendo como objetivo el aumento de detección de casos.

“…The fact that one of the first symptoms of pulmonary TB (5) (cough) initially presented in a milder manner (7,16) and be considered as a consequence of smoking (17) could remove the suspicion of TB or other severe disease among patients, leading them to not feel the need to search care in a health facility. The delay in seeking care among TB patients who consumed alcohol concurs with other studies (5,18) and may be related to poor perception about their health, as well as the lack of habit of seeking medical care.…”

Estudo descritivo que objetivou analisar o tempo decorrido entre a percepção dos sintomas da tuberculose (TB) e a primeira busca por serviço de saúde segundo características dos doentes com TB em São José do Rio Preto - SP. Entrevistaram-se 97 doentes com TB utilizando instrumento estruturado. Identificou-se atraso do doente pela mediana do tempo entre a percepção dos sintomas e busca por atendimento (> 15 dias). Calculou-se a razão de prevalência para identificar variáveis relacionadas ao atraso. Houve atraso entre: doentes do sexo masculino, com 18 a 29 e 50 a 59 anos, baixa escolaridade, maior renda familiar, casos pulmonares, não coinfectados com HIV, sintomas fracos, consumidores de bebidas alcoólicas e tabaco, que não realizavam controle preventivo de saúde e procuravam o serviço de saúde mais próximo do domicílio. O reconhecimento do perfil dos usuários na busca por atendimento é primordial para definir estratégias que favoreçam a utilização dos serviços em momento oportuno.

ABSTRACT:Objective: to analyze the spatial distribution of tuberculosis in Crato, Ceará, Brazil, from 2002 to 2011, aiming to check for a point pattern. Methods: This is an ecological, temporal trend and hybrid design study, with a quantitative approach. A total of 261 cases of tuberculosis were geo-referenced and 20 (7.1%) were considered as losses due to the lack of address. The profile of patients in 10 years of study was in accordance with the following pattern: men aged between 20 and 59 years, with low schooling, affected by the pulmonary form of tuberculosis and who were cured from the disease. Results: The analysis of the spatial distribution of tuberculosis points out that in the period of study, new cases of the disease were not distributed on a regular basis, indicating a clustered spatial pattern, confirmed by the L-function. The map with the density of new cases estimated by the Kernel method showed that the "hot" areas are more concentrated in the vicinity of the central urban area. Conclusion: The study allowed pointing out areas of higher and lower concentration of tuberculosis, identifying the spatial pattern, but it also recognized that the disease has not reached all of the population groups with the same intensity. Those who were most vulnerable were the ones who lived in regions with higher population densities, precarious living conditions, and with intense flow of people.
