Permanent Health Education is an important issue in favor of recognizing and building responses to the needs and demands of the population. Thus, the objective was to discuss the contribution of the Bipartite Intermanagement Commission/RN (CIB/RN) for the implementation of the policy of permanent education in health, having as analytical references the agenda of the Ministry of Health, ordinances and documents produced on Permanent Education in Health (EPS) at CIB/RN. To this end, a descriptive, exploratory study was conducted through document analysis of the minutes and deliberations of the CIB/RN. The data captured in the documents were organized in an Excel® spreadsheet, version 2008, allowing the identification of themes discussed and deliberated in the committee in the period from 2018 to 2021. therefore, map categories of analysis. Through content analysis, the CIB RN discussion agenda was identified regarding the object of health, planning, investment projects, management of health education and permanent education actions. There was a prevalence in the deliberations of themes related to infrastructure and construction for health and in the minutes the theme of qualification and training of workers, managers, and representatives of social control and regulations for the development of the Policy of Permanent Education in Health (PEPS) predominated. in the state. The CIB/RN has acted in the formulation of public policies consisting of a decision-making space for strategic themes for the policy of permanent education in health, dialoguing with the agenda of the Ministry of Health, ordinances and documents produced on EPS, to promote health of the population in line with the principles of the Unified Health System (SUS).

The reality of work shows a recent transformation through rapid modernization in the world of work. The pandemic context due to Covid-19, caused by the New Coronavirus (Sars-Cov-2), enhances these changes, directly affecting the work processes in health, and, consequently, the health of the worker. This research has as its general objective "Analyzing Occupational Health in the Unified Health System during and after the Covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of Occupational Health management centers at the municipal and state levels of Rio Grande do Norte." For that, an observational and descriptive study was developed, with a qualitative approach, in the case study type. The study was carried out at the Municipal Health Department of Natal and at the State Department of Public Health of Rio Grande do Norte, both located in the city of Natal, capital of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, northeastern Brazil, with the participating subjects being the professionals who make up the management centers in the field of workers' health in both secretariats. The instrument used for data collection was an individual semi-structured interview and the data obtained were analyzed using the Content Analysis technique. The narratives were categorized into six core meanings, which dealt with: 1. The potentialities that emerged from and during the Covid-19 pandemic; 2. Strategies used in workers' health during the Covid-19 health crisis; 3. The challenges experienced in the field of occupational health in the face of the Covid-19 global crisis; 4. Post-pandemic and its consequences, considering the perspective of remote work; 5. The main needs of the worker's health in the north of Rio Grande do Sul; and 6. Worker's health policy(ies). The analysis of the speeches highlighted the use of PPE and its relationship with the Permanent Education processes, as a potentiality and the projects supported by the worker's self-care, as an important strategy. Lack of knowledge regarding Covid-19 was highlighted as a major challenge and the organization and management of telework was highlighted when referring to post-pandemic developments. An emerging need pointed out for the field of Occupational Health in RN is the strengthening of mental health at work. Regarding the Occupational Health Policy, it is highlighted that it is seen as a relevant initiative to guarantee the health of workers, however, there is a perception that the policy is not yet fully implemented in practice, mainly due to bureaucratic and budgetary obstacles. It is noteworthy that the study was carried out at the municipal and state levels and presented converging results. It is hoped that the results of this study will promote an expanded knowledge about the field of Occupational Health, especially in the post-pandemic context.

Hospitals are complex organizations that offer medium and high complexity health services. The professionals who work in this service live daily with work overload, lack of personnel, long shifts, shortage of inputs and equipment, inadequate physical structures, insufficient beds, overcrowding, wage gap, fragility in relationships, among others. This research aims to know the profile of leaves due to illness among employees of a public hospital in the State of Alagoas. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. The target population consisted of all hospital workers who, from May 2020 to December 2021, had leave due to illness registered in the Cadastral Information System of the General Hospital of the State of Alagoas/HGE, which have sociodemographic, clinical and occupational information of workers. The HGE is the largest public hospital in the state, a gateway to urgency and emergency type III. Data were tabulated in Excel software and analyzed via JASP 0.16.4 (JASP TEAM, 2023). Inferential tests were performed to investigate the association between the number of leaves per ICD-10 group, using the Kruskal-Walis test. The χ² test was performed, with a significance level of 5% (p < 0.05), when cells had a number of observations lower than 5, Fisher's exact test was used. The results showed a high number of absences due to illness among health workers at the institution, more frequently in the nursing category and among non-permanent workers. With regard to diseases, those of the musculoskeletal system were more frequent. Knowing the causes of absenteeism due to illness associated with health workers provides subsidies to establish prevention and health promotion strategies at work. It is believed that the health of these workers is neglected, which is also reflected in the quality of care provided to the patient. Knowing the profile of the worker's illness is essential, since it allows the situational diagnosis, contributes to the recognition of risk factors and helps in intervention strategies aimed at improving working conditions, quality of life and reducing work leave.

Who is interested in the good performance of the Unified Health System (SUS)? In a historical context of influences contrary to the implementation of the SUS, this research initially proposed to shed light on such facts so that it could identify mechanisms present in the health policy arena, since the establishment of the new republic in the country. identified problem, addresses the need to induce relationships with private institutions to respect and add to the structures already achieved by the SUS – and not merely to favor itself –, proposing the challenge of applying a study, based on the deepening of models currently used in the SUS, focusing on the organization of Health Care Networks (RAS), more specifically the Outpatient Secondary Care Point Model (PASA Model), raising the following research question as a guiding axis: “How does the Point of Care Model Can secondary outpatient care enhance the development of telehealth projects developed by private institutions in the SUS?” This is qualitative-quantitative research that proposed the development of an instrument in a checklist format and the use of a Likert scale to obtain evidence of content validity, measured using the instrument's Content Validity Index (CVI), adopting 0.78 is used as a minimum reference value. Through meetings with the Expert Committee, the PASA Model was adapted to a virtual model, in the format of a checklist, containing 41 items. The items reached agreement between the evaluating judges, with the instrument reaching an index of 0.99, therefore considered to have good content validity for the proposed purposes. Its results are intended for SUS health managers to take ownership of the elements covered, using them, if applicable, in future telehealth projects developed by private initiatives, aiming to enhance them, with an emphasis on implementing and strengthening the RAS. In addition, its results meet the interest of encouraging private companies to, at a minimum, consider the structures and models already consolidated in the SUS, making it impossible for their actions to focus solely on the market's own interests.

The pandemic caused by the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has created a global public health emergency. As a central element was the role of health workers in facing the pandemic and fighting COVID-19, and protection for professionals who worked on the front lines to preserve their physical and mental health should be included in this context. The present research has the general objective of analyzing the regulations and protocols published in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic by the Government of the State of Mato Grosso/Secretariat of State of Health, comparing them with the recommendations and technical guidelines of OPAS/OMS/BRAZIL regarding the health of the health worker. The specific objectives are to systematize the technical guidelines regarding the health of the health worker made available by OPAS/OMS/BRAZIL during the period of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic; map the regulations and protocols related to the health of the health worker made available in publications by the Government of the State of Mato Grosso/Secretariat of State of Health, during the confrontation with the COVID-19 pandemic; to compare the norms and protocols adopted by the Government of the State of Mato Grosso/Secretary of State of Health with the technical guidelines of OPAS/OMS/BRAZIL, regarding the health of the health worker in the period of coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. This is qualitative research with a documentary approach to the regulations and protocols adopted for the health of health workers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the years 2020 to 2021. 11 Technical Guidelines from OPAS/OMS/BRAZIL and 23 Regulations published by the State Executive, referring to the theme of workers' health, were selected for analysis. This research has the scope of strengthening the discussion about the protection of the health of the health worker in the State Department of Health of Mato Grosso.

This documentary research addresses the significance of Health Education and the National Policy of Permanent Education in Health (PNEPS) within the context of the Unified Health System (SUS) in Brazil. It highlights the SUS's role in promoting health education, workforce management, and healthcare professional training. The establishment of the Manaus Public Health School (ESAP) is noted as a crucial milestone for healthcare professionals' training and development in the municipality, focusing on Primary Health Care.ESAP provides courses and educational programs to enhance professional practices and strengthen the integration of teaching, service, and the community. The research aims to analyze ESAP's role in consolidating Manaus' Municipal Policy of Permanent Education in Health (PMEPS). Employing a qualitative approach, the study uses documentary research as the data collection method.Documentary research enables in-depth analysis of previously recorded materials, such as texts, images, and reports. Documents were sourced from public outlets, including the Manaus Municipal Health Secretariat website, Ministry of Health publications, and normative documents in the Official Gazette of the Municipality.

The collected data underwent analysis using Bardin's content analysis technique. This process involved pre-analysis, material exploration (coding), and result treatment (categorization, inferences, and interpretations). Record units were identified and organized into analytical matrices following the guidelines of the National Policy of Permanent Education in Health and Manaus Municipal Health Policy.The study encompassed 49 documents relevant to the research's guiding questions, selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. It highlights that Manaus' Municipal Policy of Permanent Education in Health primarily aims to enhance continuous healthcare professionals' training. To achieve this goal, the policy seeks alignment with the national policy and integration of relevant theoretical principles for healthcare service enhancement in the region.This policy is based on essential principles like comprehensiveness, interprofessionality, social participation, and valuing healthcare work. These principles guide educational actions that consider the whole human being, fostering collaboration among healthcare professionals.The development of Permanent Health Education at ESAP/Manaus faces significant challenges, notably the lack of financial resources limiting the provision of various educational activities. Additionally, ensuring healthcare professionals' involvement and providing adequate infrastructure and logistics are crucial hurdles to overcome.Despite these challenges, there are opportunities to be explored. The institution can establish strategic partnerships, leverage technological innovation, and conduct periodic assessments of activities. These actions have the potential to attract additional resources, broaden the reach of permanent education activities, and facilitate continuous program improvements.By overcoming challenges and implementing effective strategies, ESAP/Manaus can create a lasting impact on community health, positioning itself as a leader in continual healthcare service improvement and professional development. Manaus' Municipal Policy of Permanent Education in Health is a recent example of success, showcasing how participatory engagement can lead to more comprehensive and effective policies. With widespread stakeholder involvement, this policy has the potential to meet community needs, offering quality healthcare professional education, promoting social control, and enhancing healthcare service quality in Manaus. This collaborative participation model can serve as inspiration for other regions and sectors interested in developing more inclusive and effective public policies.

In Brazil, diversity management emerged in the 80s, advocating the need to include women, blacks and homosexuals in the world of work. However, the trans and transvestite population has a low level of inclusion in the world of work, especially formal work, due to low levels of education, stigmatization and social prejudice. The aim is therefore to construct, validate and apply a questionnaire to assess diversity management practices in healthcare organizations with a focus on the gender identity of the trans and transvestite population. To this end, an evaluation study will be carried out between may and november 2023. The methodological path includes the phases of structuring subsidized by integrative literature review in three electronic databases (SCIELO, LILACS, PUBMED), content validation by consensus of three specialists in the area of gender and sexuality selected for convenience and application of the validated with managers working in human resources/management of work and education in health secretariat of state for public health, located in the city of mossoró/rn. The study presents partial results relating to the instrument's structuring phase. At the end of the study, it is hoped to obtain a reliable and valid questionnaire to enable analysis of the challenges to the process of social inclusion of the trans and transvestite population in health organizations.

Several studies point to the high prevalence of psychological distress among health professionals working in ICUs. This evidence is worrying, as it affects the mental health and quality of life of this workforce that intends to care for critically ill patients, such as the one that occurred after the COVID-19 pandemic period. The search for strategies to improve the quality of life of workers and the work process has been salutary, in order to prevent psychic illness, as well as to understand the perception of care and the development of a new culture of valuing life in this population. . This research aims to identify the occurrence of psychic suffering and mental disorders among health professionals in a public hospital in São Luís, and its association with the work process in the pandemic context generated by the "coronavirus disease" - COVID-19 , based on the perception of the actors involved. The work will be a single case study that will approach, through methods and techniques of qualitative analysis, the understanding of the signs and symptoms that produce changes in the quality of life and in the work process. With regard to the specific objectives, the search for identifying the nature of the psychological distress manifested by the health professionals interviewed and whether they associate these forms of suffering with the work process in assisting people affected by COVID-19 stand out. Finally, as a product, the study aims to produce a Standard Operating Protocol, contributing to the notification, referral and creation of strategies in the mental health care of ICU workers. Preliminary

Results: in progress.

Permanent Health Education (EPS), as a training and development strategy for workers for the Unified Health System (SUS), was established as a policy in 2004, through ordinance no. 198, and redefined by ordinance no. 1. 996 of 2007. It aims to contribute to the necessary transformation of work processes and health practices, in accordance with the principles of decentralization of the SUS, which define guidelines and strategies for the implementation of the National Policy for Permanent Education in Health ( PNEPS), establishing the Permanent Teaching-Service Integration Commissions (CIES) as permanent bodies that participate in the formulation, conduct and development of PNEPS. In this sense, this research aimed to contribute to the process of implementing the Permanent Commission for Teaching-Service Integration (CIES) in the Imperatriz health region, aiming to strengthen the National Policy for Permanent Health Education (PNEPS) in the state of Maranhão. . This is an Action Research with an evaluative study, whose theoretical framework is based on the assumptions of PNEPS. The subjects participating in this research were managers, workers, representatives of educational institutions with courses in the area of health and social control in the SUS, who participate in the Teaching-Service and community integration processes. The data were collected during the interventions and the workshop with the central theme Permanent Education in Health, from April to October 2023, which made it possible to identify the profile of these participants and their perceptions about PNEPS, in addition to contributing to the implementation of CIES Imperatriz/MA Region. As a product, a Guidance booklet was created on how to implement a Regional CIES. The results point to some weaknesses in relation to the mastery of some PNEPS contents by research participants and the importance of training the SUS workforce in relation to the tools for operationalizing EPS. It is expected that the results of this research can support strategies for strengthening Permanent Health Education in the State of Maranhão, as well as for the establishment of CIES in all Health Regions

IIntroduction: In the Brazilian reality, the theoretical and methodological bases of EIP provide elements to supply the requirement of the contemporary world and promote the integrality of health care, contributing to the qualification of health professionals to team as work. Interprofessionality was the focus of the ninth pet-health edict to advise them to learn as a teamwork, through integration-teaching-service and the development of collaborative skills. In this scenario, it seeks to demonstrate elements that allow reflection on interprofessionality and collaborative competencies, through the perception of students participating in the ninth pet-health/interprofessionality edict. Objective: To identify the availability of students who participated in the edition of PET-Saúde Interprofessionality for interbranch education and collaborative interbranch practices. ning Scale (RIPLS). Methodology: This study is characterized as a quantitative method research, which is part of an exploratory-descriptive perspective in relation to backed in the objectives, based on concept collected through the application of the instrument for collecting data on interbranch health education, Readiness for interbranch Learning Scale (RIPLS). Results found: From the items analysis, the positivity of education interbranch health was disclosed, with regard to collaboration and teamwork induced by the participation of the ninth pet-health/interprofessionality edict and a certain fragility regarding the clarity of definition of roles, the need for greater definition of professional autonomy and the valorization of the patient's opinion to participate in care. Final considerations: Variety collaborative competencies were developed for integrality of care from the analysis of availability for interbranch education and interbranch practices and from the analysis of the strengths and weaknesses found, perceived the need that is still necessary the creation the support of this stimulus for the effective integration of knowledge and much still necessary for the progression and institutionalization of the perspective of interbranch in the practice.

The State Schools of Public Health (SSPH) are responsible for formulating and/or executing programs and politics aimed at qualifying health workers. Therefore, they play an important role in the implementation and strengthening of the Unified Health System (known as SUS – Sistema Único de Saúde). The previously mentioned schools were the focus of the study, and this work aimed to analyze their contributions to the services’ qualification provided by SUS. Using the qualitative approach, the research was carried out in two stages, using different methodological procedures with two types of data collection: documentary research and interviews. The documents’ analysis aimed to know the mission of the SSPH. The interviews with the directors and teachers intended to observe whether, in their perception, the educational actions developed are planned considering what is recommended by the National Policy for Permanent Education (NPPE). In the interviews with the States Health Secretaries of the SSPH included in the study, as well as the directors and teachers, it was sought to know their perception about the role and contribution of Schools to the health services in their States. By integrating, articulating and analyzing this rich set of information, it was possible to identify, according to the perception of its professors, directors and state health secretaries, the contribution of SSPH to health services. According to the interviewees, these Schools have significantly contributed to health professionals qualification and, for this reason, their work is recognized by SUS workers and managers. At the same time, they are Schools that face the challenge of insufficient resources, both financial and personnel. In this confrontation, they rely on the commitment and responsibility of their professionals. This research made it possible to know these Schools, that are committed to the principles and guidelines of SUS, and the work they develop, based on Permanent Health Education and, consequently, their contributions to the strengthening of SUS.

This research deals with one of the most powerful and complex practices in health work management: personnel dimensioning. The objectives of this study are to highlight the contributions of dimensioning to the management of work in public health institutions; to identify the scientific production related to dimensioning in the area of Work Management; to identify how the personnel dimensioning methodology has been used in public health institutions, in addition to understanding the reasons that lead health institutions to implement the dimensioning practice. An integrative literature review was carried out on the theme of workforce dimensioning, with emphasis on the health area. The purpose of identifying practical experiences and conceptually deepening the subject has as its objective image to present to the Secretary's manager a planning instrument that, when applied, can avoid the excessive supply of professionals, identify possible insufficiencies related to the number of personnel, identify technical information needed to expand managerial skills and support managers' decision-making, with a view to ensuring the best execution of the work and efficiency in the provision of services. It is believed that the systematization and analysis of experiences regarding the practice of staff dimensioning in health, recorded in the literature, can help health departments that have not yet elected such a practice to start their implementation processes.

Continuing Education in Health is characterized by the practice of learning in the service, bringing the proposal to face the problems of reality through prior knowledge acquired through life experiences, thus becoming a meaningful learning experience. It has as its premise, for the planning and survey of gaps in the training and development of workers, the health needs of users of the Unified Health System. The implementation of this strategy, in the State of Acre, took place in 2004 by the State Secretariat of Saúde do Acre, with the creation of the Department of Education and Research, there are currently 10 Centers implemented. Thus, this research aimed to analyze the process of implementation and development of the Centers for Continuing Health Education in the State of Acre, its weaknesses and potential. This is an exploratory descriptive study of a qualitative nature, using a semi-structured interview with 10 coordinators of the permanent education centers of the state health units. Two categories resulted from the analysis: Conception of the Center for Continuing Education in Health and Implementation of the Center for Continuing Education in Health. of these and their strengths and weaknesses. It is concluded that, despite the potential identified in the developed actions, there are still several weaknesses, such as the lack of monitoring and evaluation of the EPS activities and the lack of qualification for the professionals who work in the coordination of the centers. Thus, it is suggested that a refresher course on Permanent Health Education be held for the coordinators, to strengthen the process of implementation of the National Policy on Permanent Health Education within the State of Acre, and contribute to the policy of expansion of these cores for units in the interior of the state

Introduction: For health planning, it is necessary to recognize, monitor and assess the dynamics of territories, the health production process and the social health needs of the population. Health indicators constitute one of the references for analyzing the health situation in a given territory and can be used as an instrument in favor of work management, as they are the result of the workforce available in the territory. Objective: to analyze the relationship between the supply of workforce, services and health indicators for the state of Tocantins. Methods: This is a quantitative research with a descriptive character of secondary data from the agreement system of the Unified Health System of Tocantins. The analysis period comprises January 2014 to December 2017. Two axes were analyzed: Axis 1 – Workforce and Assistance Coverage and Axis 2 – Attention and Service Offer. The indicators included in this research were: 1) Population Coverage – Primary Care Team; 2) Population Coverage – Estimated by Oral Health teams. 3) Proportion of admissions for sensitive primary care conditions; 4) Average supervised toothbrushing collective action; 5) Proportion of tooth extractions in relation to preventive procedures; 6) Proportion of live births to mothers with 7 or more prenatal visits; 7) Infant Mortality; 8) Maternal Mortality; 9) Ratio of cervical cytopathological tests in women aged 25 to 64 years and the same age group. For the analysis of municipal indicators, choroleptic maps were produced indicating the distribution of indicators according to the intensity of the colors. To analyze the spatial bivariate relationship between the indicators, the local Bivariate Moran test was applied and to analyze this relationship in a multivariate analysis, the Skater technique or regionalization method was applied. Results: Regarding Oral Health Team Coverage, there was no change in the offer in the state of Tocantins, with few cities in critical condition (with less than 49.99%). The supervised brushing actions, on the other hand, undergo a reduction of actions over four years in part of the state's municipalities. Regarding the proportion of tooth extractions, there were 28 municipalities in 2014 and it rose to 26 in 2017 in the red classification. Regarding family health care coverage in Tocantins, 127 municipalities in 2014 and 126 municipalities in 2017 had 100% coverage. And in relation to the proportion of Hospitalization for Sensitive Conditions to Primary Care, over the four years there was a reduction in the number of cities in the red and orange classification. From 2015 onwards, there was a collapse of the analysis network of the materials collected to carry out the screening for cervical cancer, showing that the availability of the workforce does not translate into guaranteeing access to the exam in a timely manner. Over the four years, there was an improvement in prenatal care, but there was an increase in the number of municipalities that registered maternal deaths. In MoranMap, the overlap between the high coverage of primary care and the low number of maternal deaths stands out. This finding was corroborated in the Scater map, where cluster 1 shows the municipalities with high coverage of AB, high proportion of prenatal care and the lowest rates of maternal death. Conclusions: it was shown that the supply of the workforce and services is related to health outcomes. With this, the Regulation and Work Management can use these indicators for technical support with the creation of alert panels, for the discussion on work management and organization.

This research addresses aspects of teaching-service integration in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to analyze the teaching-service integration as a strategy for Continuing Education in Health, in the fight against COVID-19 in services of the Escola Rede de Saúde Municipal, João Pessoa. The methodological approach classifies it as an exploratory, comprehensive-interpretive study with a qualitative approach. Its setting is the Santa Isabel Municipal Hospital, the Epidemiological Surveillance Management, the Telehealth Center for Coronavirus Prevention Guidelines - services from the SMS/JP Health Network that carry out actions to combat COVID-19, and are also spaces for practice of Educational Institutions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus groups, carried out with service managers, health professionals, internship coordinators and students. The results express that the teaching-service integration is a strategy of permanent health education, considering the articulation between the actors of the service and of the educational institutions, causing the development of a critical-reflective look at the service, correlating with everyday life and the daily life of the territories, developing spaces for listening, support between professionals and students, learning, evolution and growth.

This project it´s about ethics in the context of public organizations, built on two major pillars: the Brazilian Federal Constitution and the legal framework of the Ethics Management System of the Federal Executive Power. For the performance of functions, the servers, in addition to technical qualification, need political and ethical skills. Considering problems related to fragility referring to ethical posture in work processes, this research has as its general objective to analyze the conceptions about ethics in the public service of employees of the Department of Health Work Management (DEGTS), belonging to the Secretary of Work Management and Health Education (SGTES) of the Ministry of Health (MS). As specific objectives, this research propose to describe the profile of the research participants, understand the meanings of ethics and public ethics for (DEGTS) servers and identify the importance and difficulties for the exercise of work ethics developed. This is an exploratory research using a qualitative approach. Data collection will be performed through semi-structured interviews with servers working in DEGTS. The information will be analyzed through content analysis, in the thematic analysis modality. It is expected that the results of the research provide subsidies of analysis and reflections to assist future decisions related to the subject studied, considering the perspective of disseminating the importance of implementation with ethical precepts that strengthen the performance of the servers.
