Resumo: | Data visualization, namely dashboards are widely used in helping target audiences such as the ACES and health investigators in the decision-making process. Taking this into consideration, the goal of this study is to elaborate a user-friendly dashboard that reduces the gaps of dashboards provided by the SNS, as well as understand if Spatial Accessibility has a statistical significant effect on the number of consultations in Primary Health Care. This analysis will be performed initially by applying the Pearson’s correlation test, then using the ANOVA and Kruskall-Wallis Test, finally by analyzing the Principal Components. Two mathematical methods were applied to calculate Spatial Accessibility, Two-Step-Floating catchment area method, and supply-to-demand ratio. Based on this study, it comes to light that the spatial accessibility differs between perishes within each county. The farther away the parishes are from the center, the lower the spatial accessibility. This result emerges when the calculation is made considering the supply-to-demand ratio, where the unit is the primary care center, having a statistically significant impact on the number of consultations. The Principal Component Analysis has demonstrated that certain types of consultations are more popular for specific age groups and that some of those age groups are influenced by Spatial Accessibility. |

Tendo isto como base, este estudo tem como objetivo a elaboração de um dashboard com uma interface amiga do utilizador, que colmate as lacunas presentes nos dashboards disponibilizados pelo SNS, assim como verificar se a Acessibilidade Espacial tem um impacto estatisticamente relevante no número de consultas nos Cuidados de Saúde Primários, numa primeira fase recorrendo ao teste de correlação de Perason’s, seguido pela aplicação dos testes ANOVA e Kruskall-Wallis e, por último, procedendo à análise dos Principais componentes. Dois métodos matemáticos foram usados de forma a calcular a Acessibilidade Espacial, nomeadamente, o método Two-Step-Floating catchment area e o rácio supply-to-demand. Através deste estudo foi possível perceber que a Acessibilidade Espacial difere entre freguesias do mesmo concelho, sendo que à medida que as freguesias se afastam do centro do concelho a Acessibilidade Espacial decresce. Esta, quando calculada através do rácio supply-to-demand, em que a unidade são os centros de saúde, tem um efeito estatisticamente relevante no número de consultas. Na Análise dos Componentes Principais, alguns fatores sugerem que certos tipos de consulta são mais utilizados por determinadas faixas etárias, assim como certas faixas etárias são mais influenciadas pela Acessibilidade Espacial do que outras.Lopes, Mário Filipe Amorim Faria de OliveiraVeritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaRodrigues, Nicole Costa2021-09-15T10:22:38Z2021-07-152021-032021-07-15T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/34872TID:202749681enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:40:23Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/34872Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:28:16.676951Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
