Abstract:

This research proposes a framework of indicators to monitor the activities of the Workers’ Health Reference Centres (CEREST). CEREST are structural elements of the National Network of Integral Attention to Workers’ Health (RENAST) and are coordinated by the General Coordination on Workers’ Health of the Ministry of Health (CGSAT). In order to build this framework, we first elaborated a list of indicators based on the regulation that defines the CEREST’s responsibilities. As a strategy to build a participative approach, a Likert scale questionnaire was sent to 173 CEREST coordinators, who were asked to evaluate this preliminary list of indicators. After the return of the questionnaires (48,6%), the answers were analysed, considering the CEREST scope (State or Regional), date of accreditation and locality. Indicators with approval rate higher than 75% were included in the proposed framework. This instrument consisted in 12 indicators for State CEREST and 13 indicators for Regional CEREST. It is expected that the procedures proposed in this research and the framework itself might stimulate government in building a monitoring system of RENAST as well of the National Policy for Worker’s Health.
Key words: Worker’s Health; RENAST; CEREST; Public Policies Analysis; Indicators.
