RESUMO Objetivo: caracterizar o perfil epidemiológico das arboviroses dengue e Chikungunya. Método: trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, descritivo, retrospectivo, quantitativo. Escolheu-se um total de mil prontuários de pacientes com sorologia IgM positiva para dengue e Chikungunya de forma aleatória entre os resultados sorológicos ocorridos no ano de 2016. Coletaram-se as informações sociodemográficas dos pacientes, e os resultados se apresentam em forma de figuras. Resultados: revela-se que, dos mil prontuários escolhidos aleatoriamente de ambas as arboviroses, o sexo feminino foi o mais acometido; a faixa etária com maior número de casos foi de 21 a 40 anos e a com menor número foi em maiores de 60 anos; a etnia parda e a zona urbana foram as que mais apresentaram casos de dengue e Chikungunya e, em relação à notificação, somente um pouco mais da metade dos casos foi notificado. Conclusão: apontou-se, pelo estudo, um perfil endêmico de infecção por arboviroses que merece atenção e esforço dos gestores, profissionais e da sociedade, para o devido controle e monitoramento das arboviroses no Brasil. Ressalta-se a necessidade de os serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde terem resolutividade quanto à vigilância epidemiológica, principalmente na notificação e investigação das arboviroses de forma adequada.

Method: this is an epidemiological, descriptive, retrospective, quantitative study. A total of one thousand patient records were selected from patients with dengue-positive IgM seropositivity and were randomly selected from the serological results of the year 2016. Sociodemographic information was collected from the patients, and the results are presented in the form of figures. Results: it is revealed that, of the thousand records chosen at random from both arboviruses, the female was the most affected; the age group with the highest number of cases was between 21 and 40 years old, and the smallest age group was older than 60 years; the ethnic group and the urban area were the ones that presented the most cases of dengue and Chikungunya, and in relation to the notification, only a little more than half of the cases were reported. Conclusion: an endemic profile of arbovirus infection that deserves attention and effort by managers, professionals and society, for the proper control and monitoring of arboviruses in Brazil, was pointed out by the study. It is important to emphasize the need for Primary Health Care services to have a high level of epidemiological surveillance, especially when reporting and investigating arboviruses in an adequate manner.

Abstract Background Primary health care services are the cornerstone of all health systems. Having clear data on allocated human resources is essential for planning. This work intended to map and compare the primary health care human resources of the five administrative regions (ARS) of the Portuguese public health system, so that better human resources management can be implemented. Methods The chosen design was a descriptive cross sectional study. Each of the five ARS were divided into primary health care clusters, which included several primary health care units. All of these units periodically sign a “commitment letter”, where they stand their service commitments to the covered population. This includes allocated health professionals (doctors, nurses), and the information is publicly accessible at www.bicsp.min-saude.pt. Data was collected for 2017, the year for which more commitment letters were available. Several ratios were calculated: patients/health professional; patients/doctor (family medicine specialists and residents); patients/nurse and patients/family medicine specialist. Mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were calculated. Results National patients/health professional ratio was 702 with the mean of the 5 ARS calculated at 674+-7.15% (min 619, max 734) whilst the national patients/doctor ratio was 1247 with the mean of the 5 ARS calculated at 1217+-7.17% (min 1074, max 1290). National patients/nurse ratio was 1607 with the mean of the 5 ARS calculated at 1529+-13.08% (min 1199, max 1701). Finally, national patients/family medicine specialist ratio was 1711 with the mean of the 5 ARS calculated at 1650+-6,36% (min 1551, max 1795). Conclusions Human resources were differently spread across Portugal, with variations between the five ARS in all ratios. The largest differences occur between nursing staff, and may translate into inequities of access, with impact on health results. A more homogeneous human resources allocation should be implemented. Key messages Human resources in the Portuguese primary health care services are not homogeneously allocated. A better and more homogeneous allocation of human resources should be implemented to reduce access health inequities.
