Educação ambiental e humanização uma estratégia de saúde

Abstract

This work is a qualitative-exploratory research that aims at understanding the meaning of health humanization to professionals and users of three Basic Health Units- UBS situated in Santa Maria- RS. The data analysis was carried on through a “Thematic Analysis”, built in three steps: pre-analysis; material exploration and treatment and interpretation of found results. This topic was chosen because of health professionals’ great difficulty about initiating the reflection process- action in the health’s actions, and, mainly working the social inclusion question required by SUS, linked to the lack of environmental issues and its interference with the health-disease process. This way, the social and environmental questions are parameters, and dispose the population’s health in danger. In this sense, in the last decades, important factors made people think about their action in relation to the environment. Considering the fact that the environmental degradation and its consequences are responsible for the world’s change, and, epistemological data show the emergence of reemerging diseases such as: dengue, cholera, etc. in this perspective, the ambiental education can be seen as a new way of discussion about the social context. On the other side, the humanization of health care can/should be characterized as a dynamic and dialogical process that need to be created and recreated by the involvement and commitment of the different authors that build the health canary, since it aims at the empowerment, autonomy, the role of the subjects involved in the health condition.
