Aperçu: G.M.
La prévalence des "troubles du spectre de l'autisme" dans la population mondiale et au Brésil est en augmentation. Internet est devenu une source importante d'informations sur l'accès aux services de santé, y compris la santé mentale.
Cet
article se propose d'analyser le réseau virtuel d'accès à l'information
sur les soins de l'autisme dans la municipalité de Rio de Janeiro en
2017 à travers la perspective de l'analyse de réseau social.
Les
résultats indiquent une prédominance des services des ONG dans le
réseau, une centralité accrue du degré et du pouvoir d'intermédiation
dans les services des ONG, en plus de l'isolement des services de santé
publique. Le résultat implique que le système d’information sur l’accès aux
services de santé publique pour le traitement des TSA doit s’étendre à la
population en général en contribuant à améliorer l’accès à ces services.

Abstract
in
English, Portuguese
The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder
in the world population and in Brazil is increasing. The Internet has
become an important source of information regarding access to health
services, including mental health. It remains to be seen if the virtual
paths in search of information are related to the outcomes of the line
of care for mental disorders advocated by the SUS, such as Autism. Therefore, this article sets out to analyze the virtual network of access to information about care for Autism
in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro in 2017 through the perspective
of Social Network Analysis. In this regard, virtual data were collected,
such as: virtual information sources; care services cited by the
virtual sources and type of service (Public, Private or NGOs). Through
the use of Gephi software, a sociogram was generated and analyzed. The
results point to a predominance of NGO services in the network, greater
centrality of degree and power of intermediation in NGO services, in
addition to the isolation of public health services. The result implies
that the information system about access to public health services for
the treatment of ASD is expanded to the general population by
contributing to improved access to these services.
