Avaliação da implementação do Programa de Atenção à Saúde do Estudante do Instituto Federal da Paraíba

Abstract

Student health assistance programs are aimed at health promotion and prevention with a view to reducing circumvention, and it is important to evaluate them in order to generate information that will help managers and technicians involved in decision making implementation process. This study evaluated the Program of Attention to Student Health of the IFPB Student Assistance Policy in two campuses implanted in the second phase of the Expansion Plan of the RFEPCT, according to the evaluation model proposed by Draibe (2001) and from the competences of the said program. For that, a qualitative approach and was used, the technical procedures were bibliographic research, documentary research and field research. In the field research the data collection was through interviews, whose instrument was a semistructured script, carried out with the implementers of the PASE and the Pró-Rectory of Student Affairs of the IFPB. The technique used to analyze the data was the content analysis proposed by Bardin (2011). It was concluded that the implementation of the Program of Attention to Student Health in a decentralized way, generates a lack of uniformity in the adoption of certain procedures such as the planning and control of the actions performed in the campuses, that the implementers do not have control over the knowledge PASE , and in their perception, the students do not know either, which is related to the lack of specific internal training for the employees to work within the Program, and these failures in the process can compromise the purpose of the PASE. It was also concluded that the program as universal service, disregarding economic vulnerability as a criterion of participation as beneficiaries of actions, that PASE competencies are mostly fulfilled, even with insufficient human resources and lack of specific resources for the its implementation, but because there is no plan with descriptions of goals and expected results, nor monitoring and systematized internal evaluations, it was not possible to verify if the results of these actions are in line with those expected or with the objectives of the Program. As a suggestion for the applicability of the study results, a roadmap was proposed with measures to be taken in the implementation of PASE in the future campuses that are implanted in the IFPB, or, if management deems it appropriate, through the reformulation of the Policy and implementation of the health module of the SUAP, to apply the measures as a project-pilot.
