Abstract(s)
No ano de 2020 existiu uma nova pandemia mundial na qual se deu um nome de COVID-19. Esta pandemia veio modificar a forma como a maioria da população vivia, isto é, a maioria da população ficou em casa isolada pois não sabia como lidar com esse vírus. Com esta mudança de rotina da maioria da população, houve um reflexo no serviço de urgências dos hospitais. Com isso, a afluência aos mesmos teve diferenças e existiu uma diminuição da afluência no ano de 2020, ano este que foi o auge da pandemia resultante do COVID-19. O Hospital distrital de Santarém teve o início da sua atividade no ano de 1985. O hospital abrange como área de influência os concelhos de Almeirim, Alpiarça, Cartaxo, Chamusca, Golegã, Salvaterra de Magos, Santarém e Rio Maior. Neste estudo foram analisados 3 dias no mês de setembro nos anos de 2019; 2020 e 2021. Foi analisada a afluência horária dos utentes assim como a afluência por género, a distribuição de idades, o tempo de atendimento, se tem ou não assistência de médico de família e a afluência por freguesia.Pode-se concluir que houve uma diminuição de afluência no ano de 2019 para 2020 e no ano de 2021 manteve-se ligeiramente igual ao do ano de 2020.
ABSTRACT - In 2020, there was a new global pandemic called COVID-19. This pandemic changed the way the majority of the population lived, i.e. most people stayed at home in isolation because they didn't know how to deal with this virus. This change in the routine of the majority of the population has had an impact on hospital emergency services. As a result, there were differences in the number of people attending and there was a decrease in the number of people attending in 2020, which was the peak year of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Santarém District Hospital began operating in 1985. The hospital covers the municipalities of Almeirim, Alpiarça, Cartaxo, Chamusca, Golegã, Salvaterra de Magos, Santarém, and Rio Maior. This study analyzed 3 days in September 2019, 2020 and 2021. The hourly turnout of users was analyzed, as well as turnout by gender, age distribution, time spent at the clinic, whether or not they had a family doctor, and turnout by parish. It can be concluded that there was a decrease in attendance from 2019 to 2020 and in 2021 it remained slightly the same as in 2020.
