Abstract(s)
No decorrer do processo de desenvolvimento das sociedades contemporâneas e a da crescente inclinação para a individualização, crescem as desigualdades sociais, e verifica-se igualmente um crescimento das situações de vulnerabilidade e exclusão social. Assim, tendo em conta que esta dissertação considera a saúde, como uma das áreas de maior relevância para o bem-estar das pessoas, procura-se analisar o acesso aos serviços de saúde, por parte de populações mais vulneráveis, onde se foca aqui o caso das pessoas em situação de semabrigo. Perante esta problemática, e para tal análise, expõe-se o conceito de acesso à saúde, de acordo com uma perspetiva holística, isto é, de forma a entender tudo o que influencia o estado de saúde, e abordar-se-á o tema das desigualdades e também a questão dos direitos humanos, imprescindíveis para se analisar o tema do acesso à saúde. Aqui, posiciona-se o acesso à saúde como um direito de todos, tendo em conta que, a Constituição da República Portuguesa declara a saúde como um direito de todos os cidadãos, independente de quais são as possibilidades que as pessoas apresentam. No entanto, verifica-se que este acesso não é igual para todos. De acordo com o tema, será feita ainda referência à prática do serviço social, enquanto profissão de direitos humanos e justiça social. Esta dissertação tem, portanto, como objetivo analisar as desigualdades sociais no acesso à saúde por parte das pessoas em situação de sem-abrigo, assim como compreender quais os fatores que facilitam este acesso, assim como as barreiras que se erguem e dificultam o acesso aos serviços de saúde. À discussão do tema, adiciona-se a experiência de estágio na Médicos do Mundo (MdM), que luta para garantir o acesso à saúde a todas as pessoas. Termina-se com os resultados, que mostram que o acesso à saúde se mostra condicionado por vários fatores, e de acordo com os quais se verifica que o direito à saúde não se encontra salvaguardado para muitas pessoas em situação de sem-abrigo.
In the course of the development process of contemporary societies and the growing inclination towards individualization, social inequalities are growing, as are situations ofvulnerability and social exclusion.So, taking into account that this dissertation considers health to be one of the most important areas for people's well-being, it seeks to analyse access to health services by the most vulnerable populations, focusing here on the case of homeless people. Faced with this problem, and in order to analyse it, the concept of access to health ispresented from a holistic perspective, i.e. in order to understand everything that influences health status, and the issue of inequalities and human rights, which are essential for analysing the issue of access to health, will be addressed. Here, access to health is positioned as a right for all, considering that the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic declares health to be a right for all citizens, regardless of what possibilities people have. However, this access is not the same for everyone. In line with the theme, reference will also be made to the practice of social work as a human rights and social justice occupation. The aim of this dissertation is therefore to analyse social inequalities in access to health care for homeless people, and to understand the factors that facilitate this access, as well as the barriers that stand in the way of access to health services. In addition to the discussion of the topic, there was the experience of an internship with Médicos do Mundo (MdM), which fights to guarantee access to healthcare for all. It ends with the results, which show that access to health is conditioned by various factors, and according to which the right to health is not safeguarded for many homeless people.
