The Ministry of health (BRAZIL, 2007) defines health education as an eyeshadow strategy of prevention and health promotion, based on reflective practices, which allow the user to their condition of historical, social and political subject, under the vision of an expanded clinic on the part of health professionals. In this sense, there are guidelines for it professionals to develop educational activities and that they can interfere in the health/disease process of the population, with a view to the development of autonomy of the subject. This research had as objective to understand in the light of the integrality of the care, as is the production of health education practices, within the framework of the family health strategy from ethnographic study in a family health unit (USF). The location of the research was the unit of USF Felipe Camar?o II in West Health District, in the city of Natal, RN, Brazil, selected from preliminary mapping of educational practices deployed in units of health of the family of this municipality, based on criteria such as time-to-deployment of USF and sustainability of existing actions. Immersion in the field consisted of participant observation with journaling, held during the period of August 2012 to January 2013, in which she accompanied team work processes in clinical-welfare actions on the USF, in households and in educational activities of group character. The results presented in ethnographic description were analyzed based on the axes proposed by Ayres (2009) for identification of integrality in health practices:the axis of the needs; the axis of the purposes; the joint axis; and the axis of the interactionsThe evidence described from observation point the presence of each axle up health education practices developed by the teams, even incipient form, namely: articulation and appreciation of knowledge and practices of popular culture with local initiatives (Pastoril do Peixe Boi Encantado, Auto de Natal e Grupo Terapia e Arte); Clinical integration with health promotion actions and coordination of multidisciplinary knowledge, with professional-user link (course for pregnant women). However, a few challenges were identified to be faced in order to move forward in these practices in integral care: the need to break with the fragmentation of actions; strengthening teamwork; need for greater sustainability policy of collective actions; intersectoral work aimed at a better role of the State in the face of the health-disease process, adding to the action of individuals.The analysis produced from observation of the processes experienced indicates the need for a better recognition of local managers that actions similar to those that occur in the USF Felipe Camar?o II enable advances in completeness as allows inclusion of actors involved in the processes of health work, and stimulate participation and shared responsibility in the fight for health-disease situations / Na Aten??o Prim?ria em Sa?de, sobretudo, na Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia, espera-se que ocorra articula??o das a??es assistenciais e de promo??o da sa?de. O Minist?rio da Sa?de (BRASIL, 2007) define a educa??o em sa?de como uma estrat?gia potencializadora das a??es de preven??o e promo??o, fundamentada em pr?ticas reflexivas, que possibilitem ao usu?rio sua condi??o de sujeito hist?rico, social e pol?tico, sob a vis?o de uma cl?nica ampliada por parte dos profissionais de sa?de. Nesse sentido, h? diretrizes para que profissionais desenvolvam a??es educativas e que estas possam interferir no processo de sa?de-doen?a da popula??o, na perspectiva do desenvolvimento de autonomia dos sujeitos. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender, ? luz da integralidade do cuidado, como se d? a produ??o das pr?ticas de educa??o em sa?de, no ?mbito da Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia a partir de estudo etnogr?fico em uma Unidade de Sa?de da Fam?lia (USF). O local da pesquisa foi a Unidade de Sa?de Felipe Camar?o II, no Distrito Sanit?rio Oeste, no munic?pio de Natal, RN, Brasil, selecionada a partir de mapeamento preliminar de pr?ticas educativas implantadas nas unidades de sa?de da fam?lia deste munic?pio, com base em crit?rios entre os quais tempo de implanta??o da USF e sustentabilidade das a??es existentes. A imers?o em campo constou de observa??o participante com registro em di?rio, realizada durante o per?odo de agosto de 2012 a janeiro de 2013, em que a pesquisadora acompanhou processos de trabalho das equipes em a??es clinico-assistenciais, na pr?pria USF, em domic?lios e em a??es educativas de car?ter grupal. Os resultados apresentados na descri??o etnogr?fica foram analisados com base nos eixos propostos por Ayres (2009) para identifica??o da integralidade nas pr?ticas de sa?de: o eixo das necessidades; o eixo das finalidades; o eixo das articula??es; e o eixo das intera??es. As evid?ncias descritas a partir da observa??o apontam presen?a de cada eixo acima nas pr?ticas de educa??o em sa?de desenvolvidas pelas equipes, mesmo que de forma incipiente, quais sejam: articula??o e valoriza??o de saberes e pr?ticas da cultura popular com iniciativas locais (Pastoril do Peixe Boi Encantado, Auto de Natal e Grupo Terapia e Arte); integra??o da cl?nica com as a??es de promo??o da sa?de e articula??o de saberes multiprofissional, com v?nculo profissional-usu?rio (Curso para Gestantes). No entanto, alguns desafios foram identificados a serem enfrentados para se avan?ar nessas pr?ticas numa perspectiva do cuidado integral: necessidade de ruptura com a fragmenta??o das a??es; fortalecimento do trabalho em equipe; necessidade de maior sustentabilidade pol?tica das a??es coletivas; trabalho intersetorial com vistas a uma melhor atua??o do Estado no enfrentamento do processo sa?de-doen?a, somando-a ? a??o dos indiv?duos-sujeitos. A an?lise produzida a partir da observa??o dos processos vivenciados indica haver necessidade de um melhor reconhecimento por parte dos gestores locais de que a??es semelhantes as que ocorrem na USF Felipe Camar?o possibilitam avan?os na integralidade ? medida que permite inclus?o dos atores implicados nos processos de trabalho em sa?de, e estimulam participa??o e corresponsabiliza??o no enfrentamento de situa??es de sa?de-doen?a

No. of bitstreams: 1 AnaKarinePires.pdf: 6619893 bytes, checksum: e0c44f5cd4047f60fbc4ecee3f696f4f (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-12-10 / The objective of the research was to identify the environmental perception of the users physical activity program of the Municipal Health Secretariat (SEMUS) of São Luís - MA investigating the factors that contribute positively and/or negatively to the performance of activities in green areas and/or enclosed spaces. Evaluated as well, the level of user satisfaction and physical education teachers who work in the program. The quantitative and qualitative research was taking place in the first stage, literature and analysis of the National Health Promotion (PNPS) addressing their guidelines, operationalization and its effects on the development of the Municipal Policy fighting the Chronic Noncommunicable Diseases (NCDs) São Luís - MA. The data on hypertension and diabetes were collected on Registration and Monitoring System for Hypertensive Diabetics - HIPERDIA in the period 2005-2011. In the second stage, the data were obtained from semi-structured interviews applied to users and Physical Education teachers working in the program. We used the theory of Social Representation focusing on qualitative and quantitative research through technical analysis of the subject discourse, from the interviews. The program "São Luís in Moviment" was created in 2008, is organized in 04 centers: Park Bom Menino; Coroado-Sacavém; COHAB and Vinhais, serving on average 200 registered users, aged between 16 and 70. As a general conclusion it is emphasized that the users' perception regarding physical exercise is positive, because the regularity of activities in the field provides benefits physiological, psychological and social aspects of the respondents. When comparing the two groups of users that perform activities in areas with green spaces and closed the first group evaluated more positively than the second. However, users who perform in closed stressed the factor of "security" as a determinant to prefer these spaces. We conclude that although the PNPS determine the adoption of a preventive policy against the advancement of NCDs, the research showed that lack of proper structuring, both in the green areas as in enclosed place where the program activities compromise the achievement of the goals established evident that preventive actions are not priorities of local public administrations. The data HIPERDIA revel that during the evaluation period was the growth of the diseases reported, especially hypertension among women. Alongside it was observed that there was a reduction in vegetation cover capital of Maranhão affect even more the availability of green areas for the practice of physical activities, the population in general and users of the program. Thus, it is suggested the expansion and/or maintenance of green areas, open spaces in the capital of Maranhão in conditions of minimal infrastructure needed to encourage sports activities and leisure in general, in addition to expanding the program by creating other hubs in different neighborhoods. / O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar a percepção ambiental dos usuários do programa de atividade física da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde (SEMUS) de São Luís - MA investigando os fatores que contribuem positiva e/ou negativamente para a realização das atividades em áreas verdes e/ou espaços fechados. Avaliou-se assim, o nível de satisfação dos usuários e professores de Educação Física que atuam no programa. A pesquisa foi qualiquantitativa realizando-se na primeira etapa, levantamento bibliográfico e análise da Política Nacional de Promoção da Saúde (PNPS) abordando suas diretrizes, operacionalização e seus reflexos no desenvolvimento da Política Municipal de combate as Doenças Crônicas Não Transmissíveis (DCNT) em São Luís - MA. Os dados sobre hipertensão arterial e diabetes foram coletados no Sistema de Cadastramento e Acompanhamento de Hipertensos e Diabéticos - HIPERDIA, no período de 2005-2011. Na segunda etapa, os dados levantados foram obtidos a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas aplicadas aos usuários e professores de Educação Física atuantes no programa. Utilizou-se a teoria da Representação Social com foco na pesquisa qualiquantitativa por meio da técnica de Análise do Discurso do Sujeito, a partir das entrevistas realizadas. O programa “São Luís em Movimento” foi criado em 2008, está organizado em 04 polos: Parque do Bom Menino; Coroado-Sacavém; COHAB e Vinhas, atendendo em média 200 usuários cadastrados, na faixa etária entre 16 e 70 anos. Como conclusão geral destaca-se que a percepção dos usuários quanto à prática do exercício físico é positiva, pois a regularidade das atividades proporciona benefícios no campo fisiológico, psicológico e social dos entrevistados. Quando comparados os dois grupos de usuários que realizam as atividades em áreas com espaços verdes e fechados, o primeiro grupo avaliou mais positivamente que o segundo. Entretanto, usuários que realizam em espaços fechados destacaram o fator “segurança” como determinante para preferirem esses espaços. Conclui-se ainda que, apesar da PNPS determinar a adoção de uma política preventiva frente ao avanço das DCNT, a pesquisa evidenciou que ausência de estruturação adequada, tanto nas áreas verdes quanto nos espaços fechados onde acontecem as atividades do programa compromete o cumprimento das metas estabelecidas evidenciado que ações preventivas ainda não são prioridades das gestões públicas locais. Os dados do HIPERDIA revelaram que no período avaliado houve o crescimento dos agravos notificados, sobretudo hipertensão arterial entre as mulheres. Paralelamente observouse que houve redução na cobertura vegetal da capital maranhense comprometendo mais ainda a disponibilidade de áreas verdes para a prática das atividades físicas, da população em geral, e usuários do programa. Dessa forma, sugere-se a ampliação e/ou manutenção das áreas verdes, espaços livres na capital maranhense em condições de infraestrutura mínima necessária para estimular as práticas desportivas e lazer em geral, além da ampliação do programa através da criação de outros polos em diferentes bairros da cidade.

Sexual activity among unmarried adolescents is a major public health problem in Nigeria, because unmarried pregnant girls are more likely to have multiple sex partners and are less likely to use contraceptives, putting them at greater risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STD), unplanned pregnancy, abortion, social isolation, and poverty. Teen pregnancy and STD rates are on the rise in Nigeria, yet few data exist on the experience of the adolescents themselves. This phenomenological study was designed to explore the in-depth experiences of 10 pregnant, unmarried adolescent girls aged 16-19, including the factors contributing to their sexual activity. An ecological model served as the conceptual framework to permit individual experiences to be understood in their social and ecological context. Semistructured interviews and Hycner's method of analysis were used to collect and analyze the data. Results showed that the decision to initiate sexual activity among these girls was influenced by many factors, including: the need for financial support and a socially condoned system of "sugar daddies" who support girls in return for sex; peer pressure to have a sex partner; a romantic knowledge of sexual behavior based primarily on the mass media; and inadequate sex education. As a result of their pregnancy, the girls experienced negative reactions from their families and community, and serious psychological and financial concerns about their prospects for future marriage and their child's identity. A comprehensive community-based reproductive health program is called for, with reliable sex education, cooperation from the mass media, and support from family and community members. The social change implication of this study is to potentially lead to a decrease in unplanned pregnancy, STDs, social isolation, and poverty among adolescent girls in Nigeria.

Thailand has faced under-nutrition and yet, paradoxically, the prevalence of diseases of over-nutrition, such as obesity and diabetes, has escalated. Since access to diabetes prevention programs is limited in Thailand, especially in rural areas, it becomes critical to develop a health information delivery system that is relevant, cost-effective and sustainable. Therefore, the main objective of this program is to build capacity for chronic disease prevention in Thailand through application of learning technologies in the education, support and accreditation of community health care workers (CHCWs). This program stems from established partnerships among: The University of Waterloo (UW), Department of Health Studies and Gerontology; Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University (INMU); The Office of Disease Prevention and Control 10 Chiang Mai province; Ministry of Public Health (MOPH), Thailand and UW, Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) . The development of the community-based diabetes prevention education program in Chiang Mai, Thailand was informed by in-depth interviews with health care professionals (n=12) and interviews (n=8) and focus groups (n = 4 groups, 23 participants) with community volunteers, screened as at-risk for diabetes. Coded transcripts from audio-taped interviews or focus groups underwent qualitative analysis by hand and using NVivo software. Health care professionals identified opportunities to integrate health promotion/ disease prevention into CHCWs’ duties. However, they also identified potential barriers to program success as motivation for regular participation, and lack of health policy support for program sustainability. Health care professionals supported an education program for CHCWs and recommended small-group workshops, hands-on learning activities, case studies and video presentations that bring knowledge to practice within their cultural context; CHCWs should receive a credit for continuing study. Community volunteers lacked knowledge of nutrition, diabetes risk factors and resources to access health information. They desired two-way communication with CHCWs. A tailored diabetes prevention education program was designed based on this formative research. Learning modules were delivered over eight group classes (n=5/class) and eight self-directed E-learning sessions (www.FitThai.org). The program incorporated problem-based learning, discussion, reflection, community-based application, self-evaluation and on-line support. The frequency that students accessed on-line materials, including video-taped lectures, readings, monthly newsletters, and community resources, was documented. Participant satisfaction was assessed through three questionnaires. Knowledge was assessed through pre-post testing based on an exam that was pilot tested with 32 CHCWs from a district outside of the 5 districts in semi-urban Chiang Mai province from which the 69 participating CHCWs (35 intervention, 34 control) were randomly selected. The program was implemented over four months. Three quarters of participants attended all eight classes and no participant attended fewer than six. Online support and materials were accessed 3 – 38 times (median 13). Participants reported that program information and activities were fun, useful, culturally relevant, and applicable to diabetes prevention in their specific communities. Participants also appreciated the innovative technology support for their work. Comfort with E-learning varied among participants. Scores on pre-post knowledge test increased from a mean (SD) of 56.5% (6.26) to 75.5% (6.01) (P < .001). The effect of the program on knowledge of CHCWs was compared between intervention and control communities at baseline and the end of the program. Overall, the knowledge at baseline of both groups was not significantly different (56.5% (6.26) intervention versus 54.9% (6.98) control) and all CHCWs scored lower than 70%. The lowest scores were found in the “understanding of nutritional recommendations” section (mean score = 28% in intervention and 30% in control CHCWs). After 4 months, CHCWs in the intervention group demonstrated improvement relative to the control group (75.5% (6.01) versus 57.4% (5.59), respectively, p <.001, n=69). The percent of CHCWs achieving a total score of 70% was 77% (27/35) in intervention and 0% in control groups. The diabetes prevention education program was effective in improving CHCWs’ health knowledge relevant diabetes prevention. The innovative learning model has potential to expand chronic disease prevention training of CHCWs to other parts of Thailand. Ultimately, prevention of chronic diseases and associated risk factors should be enhanced.

The present researce approaches the attendance institutions the toxicodependentes in the Valley of the Paraíba, São Paulo, Brazil and has as objective to describe and to argue the method of attendance adopted for the institutions, from the approach of the responsible ones. It is used semi-directed interview, the used method is content analysis and is searched ten institutions. The presence of formerdependents in the team and the regimen of internment predominates. It is marcante the lack of professionals of the health area and of professionals with formation in chemical dependence and 60% of the institutions they are therapeutical communities. It prevails, as attendance method, the work, disciplines it and the espiritualidade. It does not have evaluation of results and the goal is the abstinence. It has little systematic control by means of the competent agencies and the institutions do not fulfill minimum requirements for its functioning. However, exactly with the financial difficulties, lack of resources as well as of qualified professionals, these institutions promote cares to put in a home, feeding, hygiene and adaptation to a routine. Given the complexity in the field of the drogadependência, it is suggested diversity of treatment and intervention options / Atualmente, verifica-se um aumento de oferta e de procura de substâncias psicoativas, e observa-se um aumento de instituições de assistência a essa demanda. A presente pesquisa aborda as instituições de atendimento a toxicodependentes no Vale do Paraíba, São Paulo, Brasil e tem como objetivo descrever e discutir o método de atendimento adotado pelas instituições, a partir do enfoque dos dirigentes. Utiliza-se a entrevista semi-dirigida, o método usado é análise de conteúdo e são pesquisadas dez instituições. Predomina a presença de exdependentes na equipe e o regime de internação. É marcante a carência de profissionais da área de saúde e de profissionais com formação em dependência química e 60% das instituições são comunidades terapêuticas. Prevalece, como método de atendimento, o trabalho, a disciplina e a espiritualidade. Não há avaliação de resultados e a meta é a abstinência. Há pouco controle sistemático por meio dos órgãos competentes e as instituições não cumprem requisitos indicados para o seu funcionamento. Contudo, mesmo com as dificuldades financeiras, falta de recursos bem como de profissionais qualificados, essas instituições promovem cuidados asilares, alimentação, higiene e adaptação a uma rotina. Dada a complexidade no campo da drogadependência, sugere-se a diversidade de opções de intervenção e de tratamento

This allowed the knowledge of changes in personal and professional aspects of the nurses who use/used Integrative Therapy Community-ITC as a strategy for care groups in the SFH in João Pessoa, as well as understand the reasons for seeking training in ITC, and the challenges/difficulties in implementing this form of therapy. The study was performed at the FHU Health District III - scenario deployment of ICT in the capital of Paraiba - which contains the largest number of community therapist nurses. The material was produced from interviews with eight participants, and the final text was submitted to an interpretive thematic analysis, which allowed the identification of three themes: motivation of nurses to seek training in Integrative Therapy Community; contribution of ICT training for the personal and professional lives of nurses, and difficulties and challenges for the implementation of ICT in SFH, from the perspective of nurses. These themes guided the dialogue between research findings and literature. All research strictly followed the ethical standards, according to Resolution 196/96 of the National Health Council and the documment archiving will be under the custody of UFPB/PPGEnf. The stories of the collaborators revealed that the main reason that drove the nurses to seek the ICT course was the difficulty in developing collective and group activities, emphatically, due to poor technical knowledge base, which could not follow the new requirements of qualified professionals on developing strategies in care that address the aspects of the new paradigm of community health model. The statements show that training in ICT can influence the ways of acting and thinking of the nurses of the SFH, because the theoretical and methodological background recover fragments of their lives, work self-knowledge and awake the resilient being that empowers and allows for better use of their potential, promoting behavioral changes in social relationships and at work. With regard to the difficulties and challenges found in the implementation of ICT, the limitations are structural, historical and functional, among which are: lack of physical structure, the use of traditional methodologies for the development of group activities, motivation of professionals, users' lack of interest, poor participation of the team, work overload and lack of management support. Even with these obstacles, training in ICT has proved an effective instrument of positive change - in the scenario of the SFH, and how care technology - that assists in meeting both individual and in the systematization of any activity/action of collective health education. / Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, viabilizada pelo uso da História Oral Temática como caminho metodológico. Este teve o objetivo de conhecer as mudanças nos aspectos pessoais e profissionais das enfermeiras que utilizam/utilizaram a Terapia Comunitária Integrativa - TCI como estratégia de cuidado com grupos na ESF em João Pessoa-PB; bem como compreender os motivos para buscarem capacitação em TCI; e os desafios/dificuldades para a implementação desse recurso terapêutico. O estudo foi realizado nas USF do Distrito Sanitário III - cenário de implantação da TCI na capital paraibana - onde contém o maior número de enfermeiras terapeutas comunitárias. O material foi produzido a partir das entrevistas com oito colaboradoras, e o texto final foi submetido a uma análise temática interpretativa, que permitiu a identificação dos três eixos temáticos: motivação das enfermeiras para buscar a formação em Terapia Comunitária Integrativa; contribuição da formação em TCI para a vida pessoal e profissional das enfermeiras; e dificuldades e desafios enfrentados para a implementação da TCI na ESF, sob a ótica das enfermeiras. Estes eixos guiaram o diálogo entre os achados da investigação e a literatura pertinente. A pesquisa seguiu rigorosamente os preceitos éticos, conforme Resolução 196/96 do Conselho Nacional de Saúde, e o arquivamento do documento ficará sob a guarda da UFPB/ PPGEnf. As histórias das colaboradoras revelaram que o principal motivo que impulsionou as enfermeiras a procurarem o curso de TCI foi a dificuldade em desenvolver atividades coletivas, enfaticamente, devido à pouca base de conhecimento teórico-prático, que não atendeu as novas exigências de levar para o SUS profissionais qualificados para desenvolver estratégias de cuidados que contemplem os aspectos do novo paradigma do modelo comunitário de saúde. Os discursos apontam que a capacitação em TCI influenciou nos modos de agir e pensar das enfermeiras da ESF, pois os fundamentos teóricos e metodológicos da TCI resgataram fragmentos de suas vidas, trabalharam o autoconhecimento e despertaram o ser resiliente; e permitiu o melhor aproveitamento de suas potencialidades, promovendo mudanças de comportamento nas relações sociais e no trabalho. No que diz respeito às dificuldades e os desafios, foram citadas as limitações de ordem estrutural, histórica e funcional, dentre as quais estão: a falta de estrutura física; o uso de metodologias tradicionais para o desenvolvimento das atividades grupais; a desmotivação dos profissionais; o desinteresse dos usuários; a pouca participação da equipe; a sobrecarga de trabalho; e a falta de apoio da gestão. Mesmo com esses obstáculos, a TCI se mostrou um instrumento eficaz de mudanças positivas - no cenário da ESF; e também uma tecnologia de cuidado - que auxilia tanto no atendimento individual como na sistematização de qualquer atividade/ação de educação sanitária de caráter coletivo.

No contexto da saÃde o meio ambiente passou a ter importÃncia a partir de novas reflexÃes sobre os conceitos de saÃde e de ambiente Por algum tempo a saÃde era vista sob a Ãtica da doenÃa com uma noÃÃo predominantemente biolÃgica o ambiente pelo seu aspecto biofÃsico Essa dissertaÃÃo surge a partir da compreensÃo do conceito de saÃde no contexto atual e refletindo sobre a interface com o ambiente para a promoÃÃo da saÃde no cotidiano dos Agentes ComunitÃrios de SaÃde (ACS) em Equipes da EstratÃgia SaÃde da FamÃlia (ESF) Portanto esta pesquisa objetivou compreender sob a Ãtica dos ACS as implicaÃÃes que a relaÃÃo saÃde e ambiente promovem na sua prÃtica profissional no MunicÃpio de Juazeiro do Norte Cariri cearense Conduzimos a pesquisa com o estudo do tipo exploratÃrio com
