“…Também, cabe considerar a exposição aos aparatos tecnológicos dos tratamentos e políticas de austeridade fiscal que desde 2015 repercutem sobre a qualidade da assistência à saúde como um todo, e na oncologia. Todo este universo de dificuldades conclama à defesa, e os profissionais de saúde no cuidado direto estão comprometidos com este papel 26 .…”

RESUMO Objetivo: descrever o processo de implementação de um grupo técnico de vigilância do câncer fundamentado no referencial de advocacy em saúde. Métodos: Pesquisa Convergente Assistencial realizada com 11 profissionais representantes de pontos de atenção e do sistema de apoio e governança da rede de atenção à saúde de um município de Santa Catarina, Brasil. A coleta foi desenvolvida de junho/2020 a julho/2021 em reuniões online denominadas grupos de convergência. A análise seguiu as etapas de apreensão, síntese, teorização e transferência. Resultados: o grupo evidenciou como motivações para sua criação o cenário epidemiológico do câncer no município, a necessidade de atender a programação anual de saúde, e os compromissos profissionais neste contexto. Em seu processo de implementação, e a partir do referencial do advocacy em saúde, o grupo o associou a outros conceitos como a integralidade, a humanização, e o exercício profissional na área da saúde. Neste percurso, foram reconhecidas estratégias iniciais como a definição e a apropriação de bases filosóficas e teóricas para ancorar o grupo, bem como estratégias de ações desde a elaboração de um regimento, planejamento de atividade do grupo, construção de instrumentos, e identificação de prioridades para implementação efetiva dos trabalhos. Conclusão: houve promoção e compartilhamentos de conhecimentos e, coletivamente, estruturou-se um processo para atenção integral e equânime na vigilância do câncer. Confirmou-se o advocacy como pilar teórico para ação política dos profissionais no grupo técnico, e suas práticas traduzem-se em ações de defesa dos direitos dos usuários.

Objective: To describe the process of implementing a cancer surveillance technical group based on the health advocacy framework. Method: Convergent Care Research addressing 11 representatives of the support and governance system of the healthcare network in a town in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Data were collected from June 2020 to July 2021 in online meetings called convergence groups. The analysis followed the apprehension, synthesis, theorization, and transference steps. Results: The motivations for creating the group included the town’s cancer epidemiological context, the need to meet the annual health program, and the professionals’ duties in this context. Based on the advocacy framework, the group associated the implementation process with concepts such as integrality, humanization, and professional practice in health. Along this path, strategies were acknowledged and supported the group, such as the establishment and appropriation of philosophical and theoretical bases, in addition to actions such as creating a statute, planning activities, developing instruments, and identifying priorities to implement tasks effectively. Conclusion: Knowledge was exchanged, and a process for providing integral and equitable healthcare in cancer surveillance was developed collectively. Hence, advocacy proved to be a theoretical pillar for the political action of the technical group’s members, translating practice into patient rights advocacy.

“…For example, in legislative and policy advocacy, knowledge of the legislative process for example how a how a bill becomes a law was often mentioned as being desirable in becoming an effective policy advocate. In another study that explored APRN's (Advanced Practice Registered Nurse)'s experience with patient advocacy, Hanks et al (2019) found that medical knowledge was positively correlated with advocacy ability in that increased medical knowledge led to increased advocacy ability. (Hanks et al, 2019).…”

Knowledge was also discussed often in the context of knowledge translation that is, being able to talk about the cause in language that could be understood by lawmakers, or the persons being advocated for.…”

The current research sought to identify what skills, knowledge, and behaviours (SKBs) in advocacy engagement are closely associated with information literacy skills. The paper examines what role information literacy (IL) skills play in making one an effective advocate by drawing on everyday life situations that involve advocacy such as self-advocacy, social advocacy, patient advocacy, parent advocacy, and policy advocacy. A rapid scoping review was completed using articles published within the last ten years (2008–2019). The articles were retrieved from Academic Search Complete, a multidisciplinary database. The aim of our initial review was to identify what skills, knowledge and behaviours are deemed essential for everyday life situations that involve advocacy. Charting of the literature was then used to map the skills, knowledge and behaviours mentioned in relation to advocacy to information literacy skills. Results showed how the knowledge component in advocacy engagement is closely associated with various IL skills such as finding information, evaluation of information and sharing information. Implications of the study point towards the importance of emphasising IL instruction in broader contexts beyond higher education and/ or academic libraries. The study shows that IL skills are important in the public realm and in primary (elementary) and secondary (high) school contexts as well. Therefore, public librarians and school librarians should be just as engaged in equipping their patrons/clientele with IL skills that may be needed for different types of advocacy such as self-advocacy, parent advocacy and patient advocacy. The study also has implications for humanitarian research and research that involves situations of information poverty as these contexts will often involve advocacy work as well.
