PNAUM: abordagem integradora da Assistência Farmacêutica, Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação

O artigo apresenta o processo de construção da Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamento a partir de uma concepção integradora da Assistência Farmacêutica, Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação. Inicia-se contextualizando a saúde e o desenvolvimento no País e apresenta elementos da Política Nacional de Ciência Tecnologia e Inovação em Saúde no Brasil e da Política Nacional de Assistência Farmacêutica. Ao apresentar as diretrizes das Políticas Farmacêuticas, destaca-se a carência de dados de abrangência nacional. A presente pesquisa, encomendada pelo Ministério da Saúde, foi estruturada em dois componentes: inquérito domiciliar e avaliação dos serviços de assistência farmacêutica na atenção básica. As perspectivas dos resultados representam, além do incremento das políticas públicas farmacêuticas e de saúde pública, resultados de ações governamentais voltadas ao desenvolvimento do complexo econômico-industrial da saúde, visando a melhoria das condições de saúde da população brasileira.This paper describes the development process of the Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos (PNAUM – National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines) based on an integrated approach to pharmaceutical services, science, technology and innovation. It starts by contextualizing health and development in Brazil and features elements of the National Policy for Science, Technology and Innovation in Health in Brazil and the National Policy for Pharmaceutical Services. On presenting pharmaceutical policy guidelines, it stresses the lack of nationwide data. This survey, commissioned by the Brazilian Ministry of Health, has two components: household survey and evaluation of pharmaceutical services in primary care. The findings point to perspectives that represent, besides the enhancement of public policy for pharmaceutical services and public health, results of government action aimed at developing the economic and industrial health care complex to improve the health conditions of the Brazilian population

Infraestrutura das farmácias da atenção básica no Sistema Único de Saúde : Análise dos dados da PNAUM-Serviços

Objetivo: caracterizar a infraestrutura das farmácias da atenção básica do Sistema Único de Saúde, visando condição para a humanização dos serviços ofertados. Métodos: trata-se de estudo transversal, de abordagem quantitativa, a partir de dados obtidos da Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos – Serviços, 2015. As informações de 1.175 farmácias/unidades de dispensação foram oriundas de observação direta e mensuração das instalações das unidades de dispensação realizadas por pesquisadores treinados e uso de formulário padronizado. As variáveis analisadas referem-se à estrutura física das farmácias ou unidades de dispensação de medicamentos das unidades de saúde amostradas. Resultados: a área da farmácia foi superior a 14 m2 em 40,3% das unidades pesquisadas, com destaque para as regiões Centro-Oeste (56,9%) e Sudeste (56,2%) e Nordeste com apenas 26,3%. A sala de espera possuía cadeiras para os usuários (80,2%), em 31,8% a área de dispensação era inferior à 5m2 e em 46,2% foi superior a 10m2. Foram encontradas grades no guichê de atendimento, separando o atendente do usuário em 23,8% das unidades; havia acesso à internet em 44,1%. Na maioria das unidades, a área destinada ao armazenamento de medicamentos não possuía refrigerador ou geladeira para o seu armazenamento exclusivo e 13,7% apresentavam área para consulta farmacêutica. Conclusões: é necessária a estruturação da ambiência dos serviços de farmácia visando a humanização do atendimento e a melhoria das condições de trabalho aos profissionais. Isso propicia melhor qualificação do serviço de farmácia para além da entrega do medicamento. Os dados apresentados pela região Nordeste indicam condições menos favoráveis ao desenvolvimento de serviços de dispensação adequados. Com base no panorama apontado, sugere-se a ampliação dos incentivos para a estruturação física dos serviços farmacêuticos, levando em consideração as especificidades regionais.Objective: to characterize the infrastructure of the primary health care pharmacies of the Brazilian Unified Health System, aiming at humanizing the offered services. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study, of quantitative approach, from data obtained in the Pesquisa Nacional de Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos – Serviços, 2015 (PNAUM – National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines – Services, 2015). Information on 1,175 pharmacies/dispensing units were gathered from direct observation and assessment of dispensing units installations conducted by trained researchers who used a standardized form. The analyzed variables refer to the physical structure of pharmacies or medicine dispensing units of the health units under research. Results: the pharmacy area was greater than 14 m2 in 40.3% of the sampled units, highlighting those from Midwest (56.9%) and Southeast (56.2%) regions and those of Northeast, with only 23.3%. About 80.2% units had waiting rooms with chairs for patients, 31.8% of them had dispensing areas inferior to 5m2, while in 46.2% these areas were superior to 10m2. Bars were found in service counters in 23.8% of health units, thus separating the patient from the professional; 44.1% had internet access. In most units, the area of medicine storage had no refrigerator or freezer for their exclusive storage and 13.7% had a specific room for pharmaceutical consultation. Conclusion: aiming at achieving care humanization and improving working conditions for professionals, the structuring of the environment of pharmacy services is necessary. This would contribute to the better qualification of pharmacy services, comprising more than medicine delivery. Data on the Northeast region indicated less favorable conditions to the development of adequate dispensing services. Based on the panorama pointed out, we suggest the expansion of stimulus concerning the physical structure of pharmaceutical services, considering regional specificities
