ABSTRACT Objectives: demonstrate and discuss how the black population’s access to health services occurs Methods: integrative literature review with the following question: How does the black population’s access to health services occur? The search was carried out in the Scholar, LILACS and SciELO databases and used the descriptor “access to health services” and the term “population,” resulting in a sample with twelve articles. Results: studies show that the difficulty of access is a fundamental factor for the quality of life of people, directly compromising preventive services, especially for women’s health and, in addition, it has significant impact on the illness process of the black population within its particularities. Final Considerations: several limiting factors compromise the black population’s access to health services, including institutional and structural factors

ResumenEl terremoto de abril de 2016 ocurrido en la costa ecuatoriana afectó a decenas de ciudades y sus resultados repercutieron de manera especial en algunos colectivos. Los servicios de salud se saturaron y, por diferentes motivos, quedaron inaccesibles para parte de la población. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la movilidad peatonal y el acceso de forma autónoma a los servicios de salud para personas mayores y con discapacidad en tres de las ciudades más afectadas de la provincia donde tuvo lugar el epicentro del terremoto: Manta, Pedernales y Portoviejo. La metodología incluye la revisión de literatura científica y normativas técnicas sobre la movilidad peatonal para personas mayores o con discapacidad y, sobre los aportes y parámetros tomados de la literatura, se realiza una fotointerpretación del medio físico en las situaciones antes del terremoto, misma que es comparada con la situación post-terremoto en base a la elaboración y recopilación de cartografía. Los resultados indican que las condiciones del territorio, antes y después del desastre, impedían el acceso de forma autónoma a los servicios de salud para las personas mayores con discapacidad.AbstractThe earthquake of April 2016 that occurred on the Ecuadorian coast affected dozens of cities and its results had a special impact on some groups. Health services were saturated and for different reasons, they were inaccessible for part of the population. The objective of this paper is to analyze the forms of pedestrian mobility and autonomous access to health services for the elderly with disabilities after the earthquake in three of the most affected cities: Manta, Pedernales and Portoviejo. The methodology used includes a literature review of technical documents and standards about inclusive pedestrian mobility, and based on the parameters taken from these documents, an evaluation through photointerpretation of the physical environment conditions previous to the earthquake, is made. The results of this evaluation are compared with the post-disaster situation through the elaboration and collection of cartography. The results show that the territorial conditions limited the autonomous mobility and access to health services for the elderly with disabilities in both situations, before and after the earthquake.

Access To Health

Meeting men’s health needs by improving healthcare service access is a key objective of comprehensive primary health care. The aims of this qualitative study were to explore the perception of nurses in men’s health services and to describe men’s expectation of the nurse. The comparative component identifies the barriers and facilitators to improved access to health services. A purposive sample of 19 nurses and 20 men was recruited from metropolitan and regional settings in the state of Victoria, Australia, and each participant was interviewed individually or as part of three focus groups. The main findings were: nurses and men were unclear on the role of the nurse in men’s health; and health promotion provided by nurses was predominantly opportunistic. Both participant groups indicated barriers to healthcare access related to: the culture and environment in general practice; limitation of Australia’s Medicare healthcare financing system; out-of-pocket costs, waiting time and lack of extended hours; and men not wanting to be perceived as complainers. Facilitators related to: positive inter-professional relations; effective communication; personal qualities; and level of preparedness of nurse education. The findings demonstrate a need for the role to be better understood by both men and nurses in order to develop alternative approaches to meeting men’s healthcare needs.

The present study focuses on traditional usages of animals and plants species for medicinal purpose and indigenous knowledge system existent in Darai ethnic group of Mangalpur VDC, Chitwan, Nepal. A total of 28 animal species and 76 plant species were found to be used by Darai people to treat 22 and 36 different ailments, respectively. Darai people have their own indigenous knowledge for making various bamboo products and fishing equipments and local drink (moat/muna). The existence of knowledge associated with animals and plants and their medicinal utility is currently threatened mainly due to modernization, easy access to health services, lack of interest of youngsters, few local healers and fading of ethnic characters of Darai ethnic group. Thus, documentation of such knowledge has become an urgent need.Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 21, Issue 1, August 2016, page: 103-111

Health Services Access

Research indicates that people living in rural and remote areas of Canada face challenges to accessing health services. This article reports on a community-engaged research project conducted by investigators at Memorial University of Newfoundland in collaboration with the Rural Secretariat Regional Councils and Regional Partnership Planners for the Corner Brook–Rocky Harbour and Stephenville–Port aux Basques Rural Secretariat Regions of Newfoundland and Labrador. The aim of this research was to gather information on barriers to accessing health services, to identify solutions to health services’ access issues and to inform policy advice to government on enhancing access to health services. Data was collected through: (1) targeted distribution of a survey to communities throughout the region, and (2) informal ‘kitchen table’ discussions to discuss health services’ access issues. A total of 1049 surveys were collected and 10 kitchen table discussions were held. Overall, the main barriers to care listed in the survey included long wait times, services not available in the area and services not available at time required. Other barriers noted by survey respondents included transportation problems, financial concerns, no medical insurance coverage, distance to travel and weather conditions. Some respondents reported poorer access to maternal/child health and breast and cervical screening services and a lack of access to general practitioners, pharmacy services, dentists and nurse practitioners. Recommendations that emerged from this research included improving the recruitment of rural physicians, exploring the use of nurse practitioners, assisting individuals with travel costs,  developing specialist outreach services, increasing use of telehealth services and initiating additional rural and remote health research.Keywords: rural, remote, healthcare, health services, social determinants of health
