Resumo: Home Palliative Care Teams are the most important support of a national program of palliative care, because they allow health care to be provided where most people, at the end-of-life, would wish it to happen - at home. Moreover, these teams have proved to be more effective and efficient than other types of palliative care teams. In this study, we present a geographical distribution of such teams, justifying its rationale. To ensure accessibility for all users of the National Health System, these teams must have uniform distribution for all country, based on identification or estimate the needs of each region. Using two different methodologies for estimating requirements, supported in Portuguese demographic data for the year 2009, we propose that between 106 and 160 teams will be needed. According to the latest indications from the European Association for Palliative Care, which refers to need a team for every 100 000 inhabitants, the estimated value for Portugal is 106 teams.

São equipas especializadas que, segundo as organizações internacionais e estudos já efectuados, apresentam elevada efectividade e eficiência. Para garantir a acessibilidade de todos os utentes do Serviço Nacional de Saúde a esta intervenção, a implementação destas equipas deverá ter distribuição uniforme, de acordo com estratégia baseada na identificação das necessidades ou, na sua impossibilidade, pela estimativa das mesmas. Utilizando duas das diversas metodologias de estimativa de necessidades, suportados em dados demográficos portugueses relativos ao ano de 2009, calculámos que serão necessárias entre 106 e 160 equipas, sendo que, e de acordo com as mais recentes indicações da European Association for Palliative Care, refere a necessidade de 1 equipa por 100 mil habitantes, o valor estimado para Portugal será então de 106 equipas. Neste estudo apresentamos como se deverão distribuir essas equipas pelo país.Universidade Católica Portuguesa2010-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2010.2807https://doi.org/10.34632/cadernosdesaude.2010.2807Cadernos de Saúde; Vol 3 No 2 (2010); 21-26Cadernos de Saúde; v. 3 n. 2 (2010); 21-262795-43581647-055910.34632/cadernosdesaude.2010.3.2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2807https://revistas.ucp.pt/index.php/cadernosdesaude/article/view/2807/2711Direitos de Autor (c) 2010 Manuel Luís Capelashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCapelas, Manuel Luís2023-10-03T15:47:33Zoai:ojs.revistas.ucp.pt:article/2807Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:32:53.754098Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
