Abstract
Tem por objetivo avaliar o conhecimento dos hipertensos e diabéticos cadastrados no Programa de Saúde da Família do município de Teixeiras-MG, sobre suas patologias, visando ao desenvolvimento de estratégias de empoderamento/libertação deste grupo populacional, essenciais na viabilização de políticas de promoção da saúde, prevenção e controle destas enfermidades. Estudo transversal, realizado por meio da aplicação de questionários semi-estruturados através de entrevistas a uma amostra de 10,33% dos hipertensos e 15% dos diabéticos. Houve predominância de indivíduos idosos, do sexo feminino, de baixa escolaridade e renda; 40,0% dos diabéticos e 69,14% dos hipertensos não souberam conceituar as doenças. Em relação ao nível de conhecimento sobre as causas e sintomas, 50% dos diabéticos as desconheciam; dos hipertensos, 37,14% desconheciam as causas e 12,57%, os sintomas. Em relação às complicações decorrentes das doenças, 33,33% dos diabéticos e 33,14% dos hipertensos as desconheciam. Quanto às formas de tratamento, 16,67% dos diabéticos e 10,86% dos hipertensos não souberam informar. Destaca-se a importância da implementação de estratégias de cuidado em saúde a estes grupos populacionais, voltadas à conscientização sanitária e aos fatores condicionantes e complicadores das enfermidades, visando a proporcionar uma educação em saúde mais efetiva, visto que a mudança de hábitos e a conscientização jamais se separam - toda transformação deve estar intimamente associada à tomada de consciência da situação real vivida pelo sujeito. Para isto é necessário o comprometimento dos profissionais de saúde, visando a uma participação livre e crítica dos usuários, contribuindo para o empoderamento/libertação deste grupo populacional, questões essenciais para a viabilização de políticas de promoção da saúde e prevenção de agravos e controle de enfermidades.<br>This paper aims to evaluate the knowledge of the diabetic and high blood pressure patients from the Family Health Program in the city of Teixeiras-MG, about their illnesses, aiming to develop their empowering/freedom strategies, essential to promote health, to prevent and control such diseases. It is a cross-sectional study, with semi-structured questionnaires, interviewing 10.33% of the high blood pressure and to 15% of the diabetic patients. Most patients were aged individuals, female, with low educational level and income. A total of 40.0% of the diabetic, and 69.14% of the high blood pressure patients could not define these diseases; 50% of the diabetic could not tell the cause and symptoms of their disease; 37.14% of the high blood pressure patients were unaware of the cause and 12.57% were unaware of their symptoms. In terms of the complications associated to their diseases, 33.14% of the diabetic and 33.33% of the high blood pressure patients were unaware of them. About 16.67% of the diabetic and 10.86% of the high blood pressure patients could not inform how to treat these diseases. It is important to implement health care strategies for these population groups, aiming awareness of health, its conditioning factors, and factors that complicate the diseases, so as to have a more effective health education process, once the changes in habits and awareness should always together be side by side - every transformation should be closely associated to the awareness of the situation which the subject lives. The latter takes the commitment of the health care staff, aiming a free and critical participation of the users, contributing to the empowering/freedom of this population, essential to the development of health promotion policies, prevention of disorders and diseases control.

    Good Practices in Health Financing : Lessons from Reforms in Low and Middle-Income Countries

    Waters, Hugh R.; Schieber, George J.; Gottret, Pablo (Washington, DC : World Bank, 2012-05-25)
    This volume focuses on nine countries that have completed, or are well along in the process of carrying out, major health financing reforms. These countries have significantly expanded their people's health care coverage or maintained such coverage after prolonged political or economic shocks. In doing so, this report seeks to expand the evidence base on good performance in health financing reforms in low- and middle-income countries. The countries chosen for the study were Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Estonia, the Kyrgyz Republic, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tunisia, and Vietnam. With health at the center of global development policy on humanitarian as well as economic and health security grounds, the international community and developing countries are closely focused on scaling up health systems to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), improving financial protection, and ensuring long-term financing to sustain these gains. With the scaling up of aid, both donors and countries have come to realize that money alone cannot buy health gains or prevent impoverishment due to catastrophic medical bills. This realization has sent policy makers looking for reliable evidence about what works and what does not, but they have found little to guide their search.

    Marquez, Patricio V. (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2008-02)
    The purpose of this discussion paper is
 to discuss selected health challenges in the Russian
 Federation, focusing on outcomes, expenditures and options
 for policy and institutional reforms in the health care
 system. The areas covered in the paper draw on recent
 studies and reports, and take into account lessons derived
 from the implementation of the World Bank-funded Health
 Reform Implementation Project (HRIP) at the federal level
 and in the Chuvash Republic and the Voronezh Oblast-the
 pilot regions of the project, over the 2005-2007 period.

    Who pays? Out-of-Pocket Health Spending and Equity Implications in the Middle East and North Africa

    Elgazzar, Heba; Arfa, Chokri; Salti, Nisreen; Majbouri, Mehdi; Salehi-Isfahani, Djavad; Raad, Firas; Chaaban, Jad; Fesharaki, Sanaz; Mataria, Awad (World Bank, Washington, DC, 2013-05-29)
    Ensuring affordable, effective health care and financial protection against the adverse effects of household out-of-pocket (OOP) health expenditures represents an important policy objective in most countries, yet relatively little evidence exists regarding patterns and implications of household health expenditures in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This paper examines the scope of out-of-pocket expenditures and their implications on living standards and policy reforms in six MENA countries including Yemen, the West Bank and Gaza, Egypt, Iran, Tunisia, and Lebanon. Results show that OOP payments represent a relatively high share of total national health care financing at 49 percent on average in the MENA region as of 2006. Households pay an average of 6 percent of their total household expenditure on health. Most of this OOP is spent on medications, doctor visits and diagnostic services. Lower-income and rural households generally face greater financial risk; yet this is reversed where private health services are utilized and paid for more frequently by higher-income groups. 7 to 13 percent of households face particularly high OOP payments, or catastrophic expenditures equal to at least 10 percent of household spending. Poverty rates tend to increase by up to 20 percent after health care spending is accounted for. Results are discussed in light of ongoing policy efforts to strengthen social protection for health care.
