Interfaces da bioética e da saúde coletiva na Brasil

Abstract

Os processos de desenvolvimento da Bioética e da Saúde Coletiva brasileira possuíram caminhos paralelos, que num determinado momento, passaram a se relacionar, devido a aproximação de temas comuns como a questão da equidade em saúde e do direito à saúde. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as interfaces entre a Bioética e a Saúde Coletiva a partir da produção científica do campo desta última, e suas relações com a formação em Pós-Graduação stricto sensu da área. Analisou-se 23 artigos publicados entre 2007 e 2009, em periódicos da área de Saúde Coletiva no Brasil, cujos autores mantêm relação com a Pós-Graduação da área. Foi possível perceber algumas tendências bioéticas predominantes, como a Bioética da Proteção e a Bioética da Intervenção. As interfaces entre a Bioética e a Saúde Coletiva possuem expressões similares, capazes de proporcionar um diálogo direto entre elas, pois as duas priorizam o bem-estar do sujeito e do coletivo.

The development of both Bioethics and Brazilian Public Health have had parallel paths, which at some moment, began to relate, because of common themes such as the issue of equity in health and the right to health. The aim of this study was to analyze the interface between Bioethics and Public Health from the field of scientific production and its relations with post-graduate education in that area. Twenty three articles published between 2007 and 2009 in journals in the area of Collective Health related to Brazilian post-graduate education in that area were analyzed. Some prevailing bioethics trends were noticed, such as Bioethics of Protection and the Bioethics of Intervention. The interface between Bioethics and Public Health is possible, since both areas have similar forms of expression. A direct dialogue between them is interesting, because both prioritize individual and collective welfare.The development of both Bioethics and Brazilian Public Health have had parallel paths, which at some moment, began to relate, because of common themes such as the issue of equity in health and the right to health.
