Resumo: | The scarcity of tissue available for transplantation is a problem all over the world, especially in Portugal, as demand exceeds the available supply. In this context the central problem of this work is to know how the current context of chronic shortage of tissues available for transplantation can be improved. Therefore, the objective of this work is to contribute to the understanding of the problem of tissue donation and to define strategies to improve the context of shortage of tissues available for transplantation in Portugal. Methodology: On this research, a qualitative methodology was used with a systematic and consistent literature review, interviews with experts, informal meetings, nonparticipative observations, applications for official data and search in institutional websites, bibliographic databases and governmental websites. For a more objective analysis of the donation processes in Portugal, its gaps and problems, the content analysis method was used to analyze 6 semi-formal interviews. This analysis had the support of TROPES® software, versions 8.4 and 7.2. The SWOT analysis summarized all the information in order to facilitate the understanding of the context and establish possible strategies for improvement. Results: The content analysis results showed that economic restrains are leading to a policy of cost control and an institutional-based policy limiting the development of new and more efficient procedures. Results highlight the importance of a centralized system to fight the clear lack of resources in Portugal. The Spanish paradigm may be used to improve the current Portuguese model in order to increase its efficiency and effectiveness. Conclusions: It’s very important to optimize the few resources allocated to the activity and perform regulation updates to provide the foundation necessary on which to build a centralized and more efficient system. |

Neste contexto a problemática central deste trabalho consiste em saber como pode ser melhorado o contexto atual de escassez crónica de tecidos disponíveis para transplantação. Portanto, o objetivo deste trabalho é contribuir para a compreensão da problemática da doação de tecidos e definir estratégias para melhorar o contexto de escassez de tecidos disponíveis para transplantação em Portugal. Metodologia: Neste estudo foi utilizada uma metodologia qualitativa com recurso a uma revisão sistemática e consistente da literatura, entrevistas com especialistas, reuniões informais, observações não participativas, pedidos de dados oficiais e pesquisa em sites institucionais, bases de dados bibliográficas e sites governamentais. Para uma análise mais objetiva dos processos de doação em Portugal, das suas lacunas e problemas, foi utilizado o método de análise de conteúdo para a análise de 6 entrevistas semiformais. Esta análise foi efetuada com o apoio do software TROPES® versões 8.4 e 7.2. A análise SWOT foi utilizada para integrar toda a informação de forma a facilitar a compreensão do contexto e estabelecer possíveis estratégias de melhoria. Resultados: Os resultados da análise revelaram que as restrições económicas estão a levar a uma política de controlo de custos e a uma política institucional que limita o desenvolvimento de procedimentos novos e mais eficientes. Os resultados destacam a importância de um sistema centralizado para combater a clara falta de recursos em Portugal. O paradigma Espanhol poderá servir de para melhorar o modelo Português atual no sentido de aumentar a sua eficiência e eficácia. Conclusões: É importante otimizar os poucos recursos alocados para a atividade e realizar atualizações de regulamentos para fornecer a base necessária para construir um sistema centralizado e mais eficiente.2019-02-28T12:35:26Z2021-02-28T00:00:00Z2018-11-06T00:00:00Z2018-11-062018-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/17462TID:202041697engOliveira, Ricardo Miguel Barros deinfo: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:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:24:58Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/17462Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:11:19.464181Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
