O objetivo do estudo foi analisar, na perspectiva de conselheiros de saúde e líderes comunitários, o processo de intervenção do serviço de saúde no controle da hanseníase. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, realizada em agosto de 2013, no município de Almenara, Minas Gerais. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada com 10 conselheiros de saúde e sete líderes comunitários. O tratamento dos dados foi realizado a partir da análise qualitativa proposta por Laville e Dione. Os líderes comunitários e os conselheiros de saúde não identificam as ações realizadas pelo serviço de saúde relacionadas à hanseníase no município e não participam, individualmente ou como grupo, das atividades de controle da doença. Conclui-se que o serviço de saúde de Almenara não está sendo capaz de promover a participação social no controle dessa doença, conforme estabelecido pelo Programa Nacional de Controle da Hanseníase.
ABSTRACT
The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the process of health service intervention in leprosy control as seen by local health policy council members and community leaders. The study was conducted in August 2013 in the municipality of Almenara, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data were collected from 10 health policy counsellors and seven community leaders using a semi-structured questionnaire. Data were analysed according to Laville and Dione’s qualitative approach. Neither the community leaders nor the health policy counsellors identified leprosy-related measures by health services in the municipality, and took no part, individually or as a group, in leprosy control activities. It was concluded that health services in Almenara are not capable of promoting social participation in leprosy control as required by the National Leprosy Control Programme.
