Health Surveillance Practices Self-Assessment Survey from São Paulo Municipality

Maria Filomena de Gouveia Vilela conducted an evaluative qualitative study proposing self-assessment as a device to analyze Health Surveillance practices. The study involved 41 Health Surveillance workers and managers from a large municipality in São Paulo State, Brazil, who evaluated realms of 'management' and 'teamwork'. Results were analyzed through created categories of 'Management' and 'Team' in dialogue with references from Management, Evaluation, and Health Surveillance.

Use Cases

• Comparing qualitative evaluation methods with quantitative markers in public health based on the study's described approach.
• Informing management contracts between workers and managers based on the self-assessment tool results mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Study involved 41 Health Surveillance workers and managers, providing a specific participant count.
• Focuses on two core analytical categories, 'Management' and 'Team', derived from the evaluation framework.
• The evaluation tool was adapted from an established instrument, the Self-Assessment of Improved Access and Primary Care Quality (AMAQ).

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to being from a single municipality in São Paulo State.
