No contexto de reformas gerenciais ocorridas na administração pública nos últimos anos, este artigo objetivou investigar experiências internacionais relativas a implementação de sistemas e ferramentas de gestão de custos, de forma a identificar as principais dificuldades enfrentadas pelos entes governamentais no processo, além dos benefícios proporcionados à gestão. Por meio de bibliometria e análise de conteúdo, foram visitados 17 artigos internacionais que apresentaram cases de implantação ou discutiam a temática sob outra ótica e metodologia. Os resultados indicam que os projetos de adoção de técnicas de gerenciamento de custos são dificultados pela não integração com os demais sistemas estruturantes organizacionais e com o planejamento estratégico, escassez de recursos para viabilização e manutenção dos projetos, alta burocratização e normatização características do setor público. Também se constatou que a busca por legitimação social por parte dos gestores também causa prejuízos à gestão pública.

Background: Alcohol and illicit drug use are prevalent among homeless people. Religiosity and spirituality (RS) have been widely associated with lower consumption of substances. However, evidence of this relationship among homeless people is still scarce. Aims: To evaluate the associations between RS and alcohol and illicit drug consumption among homeless people in a large Brazilian urban center. Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out in São Paulo city, Brazil. Aspects such as spirituality (FACIT-Sp12), religiosity (DUREL), spiritual-religious coping (Brief-RCOPE), and self-report questions concerning the current substance use (alcohol and illicit substances) were evaluated. Adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the impact of RS beliefs on alcohol and illicit drug consumption. Results: A total of 456 homeless people were included, of an average age of 44.5 ( SD = 12.6) years. More than half of the participants consumed alcohol (55.7%) weekly and 34.2% used illicit drugs weekly. Adjusted logistic regression models identified that aspects of RS were associated with lower likelihood factors for alcohol and illicit drug use; conversely, negative spiritual religious coping (SRC) strategies were associated with a higher likelihood to use both. Conclusion: The prevalence of alcohol and illicit drug use among participants was high. RS and positive SRC were important protective factors for lower consumption of these substances. Conversely, negative SRC strategies were associated with risk factors.
