Stress and the Need for Professional Valuation in the Implantation of Humanization Processes of SUS (Humanizasus)

Abstract

Introduction: Since 2004, the Health Ministry has implemented measures to improve the quality and humanized care of SUS users, HumanizaSUS. Several guidelines were instituted among them the professional
valorization, however, no practical measure was taken in favor of the value of the health professional, who is one of the most prone to stress. Objective: To show association between work-related stress syndromes in health professionals and their impact on the humanization process, proposed by the Health Ministry. Methods: A bibliographical research was carried out among the various data sources available as a Health Virtual Library, Pubmed and Scielo aimed at obtaining data. Citations about the presence of stress and burnout syndrome and the need for professional valorization were found in the sources studied. Results: Although there are references on the subject, there remains a gap on the association of
professional activity and implantation of HumanizaSUS, on the contrary, only measures were found that increase the
professional exposure were provisioned, treating the professional valorization in a secondary way, increasing the degree of stress and increasing the number of professionals with burnout syndrome, with consequent delay and problems for implementation of the measures required by the Health Ministry. Conclusion: The valuation of the health professional is fundamental for the implementation of HumanizaSUS, failure to observe this need entails delays and poor management in the goal of humanization of the Unified Health System.
