Resumo: A judicialização das políticas públicas de saúde é um fenômeno crescente em todo o País, tendo diversos âmbitos do Poder Judiciário recebido demandas relacionadas à saúde, no entanto, percebe-se que essa discussão tem reflexos nos três Poderes. O presente artigo teve por escopo compreender o sistema normativo que regulamenta o acesso a leitos de Unidades de Tratamento Intensivo Neonatal (UTINs), bem como analisar a eficácia das decisões judiciais no Maranhão, com foco nas decisões de magistrados da 1ª Vara da Infância e Juventude da comarca de São Luís, MA. Realizou-se um estudo descritivo e exploratório, com levantamento bibliográfico e documental, notadamente, em documentos disponibilizados nos sites do Poder Judiciário maranhense, do Ministério da Saúde, Secretaria de Saúde do Estado do Maranhão e do Município de São Luís. Ao fim, foram feitas algumas considerações sobre a problemática da judicialização da saúde como fenômeno que expõe as fragilidades e as descontinuidades das ações desenvolvidas pelas casas legislativas, pela gestão pública e pelo próprio sistema de justiça.Palavras-chave: Direito à saúde.

Human milk provides superior nutritional value for infants in the neonatal intensive care unit and is the enteral feeding of choice. Our hospital used the system engineering initiative for patient safety model to evaluate the human milk management system in our neonatal intensive care unit. Nurses described the previous process in a negative way, fraught with opportunities for error, increased stress for nurses, and the need to be away from the bedside and their patients. The redesigned process improved the quality and safety of human milk management and created time for the nurses to spend with their patients.

Abstract OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a 12-hour shift on mood states and sleepiness at the beginning and end of the shift. METHOD Quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study.It was conducted with 70 neonatal intensive care unit nurses. The Brunel Mood Scale (BRUMS), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), and a socio-demographic profile questionnaire were administered. RESULTS When the KSS and BRUMS scores were compared at the beginning of the shift associations were found with previous sleep quality (p ≤ 0.01), and quality of life (p ≤ 0.05). Statistical significant effects on BRUMS scores were also associated with previous sleep quality, quality of life, liquid ingestion, healthy diet, marital status, and shift work stress. When the beginning and end of the shift were compared, different KSS scores were seen in the group of all nurses and in the night shift one. Significant vigor and fatigue scores were observed within shift groups. CONCLUSION A good night’s sleep has positive effects on the individual`s mood states both at the beginning and the end of the shift. The self-perception of a good quality of life also positively influenced KSS and BRUMS scores at the beginning and end of the shift. Proper liquid ingestion led to better KSS and BRUMS scores.
