Abstract(s)
A Medicina de Catástrofe tem vindo a afirmar-se como área do conhecimento médico, com ampla abrangência e multidisciplinaridade, incluindo a vertente da Medicina Humanitária. As Forças Armadas, assim como outras organizações militares enquadradas em países onde esta temática se encontra desenvolvida, têm-se adaptado às alterações emergentes, adotando filosofias de duplo uso na sua edificação, e preparando-se para emprego em apoio à saúde e bem-estar das populações, trabalhando a integração dos meios civis com os meios militares, num verdadeiro conceito de cooperação civil-militar, garantindo resposta ampliada. O presente tema afigura-se da máxima pertinência, e de atualidade permanente. O presente estudo baseou-se no raciocínio indutivo, assente num estudo de caso, tendo por base uma pesquisa bibliográfica robusta, delineando uma forte base conceptual teórica inicial, e complementarmente recorrendo a estratégia de investigação mista com recurso a pesquisa documental, entrevistas semiestruturadas e aplicação de questionários a especialistas nesta área. Os resultados obtidos e contributos para o conhecimento sugerem a necessidade de evolução do modelo de intervenção atual das Forças Armadas em Medicina de Catástrofe e em Medicina Humanitária. O presente trabalho de investigação permitiu propor melhorias na intervenção das Forças Armadas em Medicina de Catástrofe e em Medicina Humanitária, nomeadamente em resposta ampliada.
Disaster Medicine has been establishing as an area of medical knowledge, with broad scope and multidisciplinary approach, including the aspect of Humanitarian Medicine. The Armed Forces, as well as other military organizations in countries where this theme has been developed, have adapted to emerging changes, adopting dual-use philosophies, and preparing themselves for use in support of health and well-being of the populations, working on the integration of civil and military resources, in a true concept of civil-military cooperation, guaranteeing an expanded response to disasters. This topic appears to be extremely relevant and of permanent relevance. The present study was based on inductive reasoning, based on a case study approach, supported on bibliographic research, outlining a strong initial theoretical conceptual basis, and in using a mixed research strategy using documentary research, semi-structured interviews, and application of questionnaires to experts in this area. The results obtained and contributions to knowledge suggest the need to evolve the current Armed Forces intervention model in Disaster Medicine. This research work made possible to propose improvements in Armed Forces intervention in Disaster Medicine, particularly when there is the need for expanded responses.
