RESUMO

People over 65 years of age will constitute the majority of the world's population in the short term, but in precarious living conditions: more years in a worse condition of vulnerability and fragility. Societies and development models would not be prepared, generating high personal, family and collective costs. In Chile, fragility would be highly prevalent in this population, impacting the full development of their lives; with sexuality as one of the aspects that are invisible and little studied. This work makes a critical approach, based on the review and analysis of context, public policies and legislation in force in Chile, evidencing atomization and biomedical orientation of public policies, collaborating in the understanding of the relationship between fragility and sexuality in old people; and revealing pending training and research tasks for the generation of public policies for an active and healthy life.

Las personas mayores de 65 años constituirán la mayoría de la población mundial en corto plazo, pero en condiciones de vida precarias. Esto quiere decir que vivirán más años en peor condición de vulnerabilidad y fragilidad. Las sociedades y modelos de desarrollo no estarían preparados, generando altos costos personales, familiares y colectivos. En Chile la fragilidad sería altamente prevalente en esta población, impactando el desarrollo pleno de su vida. La sexualidad es uno de los aspectos que son invisibilizados y poco estudiados. Este trabajo realiza una aproximación crítica, a partir de la revisión y análisis de antecedentes de contexto, políticas públicas y legislación vigentes en Chile. En estos aspectos se evidencia atomización y orientación biomédica de las políticas públicas, colaborando en la comprensión de la relación fragilidad y sexualidad en personas mayores. Además, se revelan tareas de formación e investigación pendientes para la generación de políticas públicas para una vida activa y saludable.

RESUMO

There are several difficulties in evaluating interventions seeking to promote public health policies. In this article, we analyzed the promotion of the use of telemedicine during COVID-19 in Brazil. Using the random promotion method with instrumental variables, we showed that the policy of promoting telemedicine was adequate, with intense use of this type of care. Our results showed that telemedicine works if it is encouraged in the population. We contributed to the discussion of public health policies and their impact on the population's health in times of health crisis, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESUMO

This research reviews the phenomenon of extractive deforestation as a possible trigger for cascade reactions that could affect part of the forest ecosystem and its biodiversity (surface, aerial, and underground) in tropical, subtropical, and boreal forests. The controversy and disparities in criteria generated in the international scientific community around the hypothesis of a possible link between "mother trees" and mycorrhizal networks in coopetition for nutrients, nitrogen, and carbon are analyzed. The objective is to promote awareness to generate more scientific knowledge about the eventual impacts of forest extraction. Public policies are emphasized as crucial mediators for balanced sustainable development. Currently, the effects of extractive deforestation on forest ecosystems are poorly understood, which requires caution and forest protection. Continued research to increase our knowledge in molecular biology is advocated to understand the adaptation of biological organisms to the new conditions of the ecosystem both in the face of extractive deforestation and reforestation. The environmental impacts of extractive deforestation, such as the loss of biodiversity, soil degradation, altered water cycles, and the contribution of climate change, remain largely unknown. Long-term and high-quality research is essential to ensure forest sustainability and the preservation of biodiversity for future generations.

RESUMO

In 2017 we published a review on blood lead levels (BLL) in children from Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) for data available up to 14th of March 2014 and recommended the identification and control of "lead hot spots". In the present study, an evaluation of progress toward reducing BLL in the region was carried out. A systematic review of the latest literature on lead exposure in the LAC region held on the PubMed, Web of Science and LILACS databases (January 2014 to March 2022) was conducted using the PRISMA methodology. Only original papers published in peer-reviewed English, Spanish, or Portuguese journals were eligible. A total of 558 papers were retrieved, 77 of which met the selection criteria and 31 (40.25 %) were carried out in Mexico. The prevalence of children with BLL above 10 µg. dL-1 was 22.08 % in the previous review versus 6.78 % in the current study. In the present review, the prevalence of children with BLL above 5 µg. dL-1 was 29.62 %, and only one study reported a BLL prevalence rate between 3.3 and 5 µg. dL-1. The highest BLLs were associated with well-known sources or occupational exposures. The number of countries (n = 13) that published data on BLL in children was lower compared to the previous review (n = 16). Most studies were conducted in areas with known lead exposure sources, similar to the earlier review. The percentage of children at risk of lead poisoning in the region remains unknown because few studies have published data on environmental exposure levels and most samples were relatively small. The recommendation to identify and control sources of lead exposure was maintained, while further suggestions for establishing a systematic public health surveillance system for lead were proposed to help reduce the knowledge gap and inform public health policy-making in LAC.

RESUMO

Food insecurity has been associated with negative short, medium, and long-term health consequences, which are more detrimental for children and adolescents. These effects may depend on the coping strategies developed to deal with food shortages. The present research aimed at exploring coping strategies in food insecure households with children and adolescents in Uruguay, incorporating sociological theoretical insights from Bourdieu. A qualitative approach based on individual semi-structured interviews was used. A total of 40 interviews were conducted with adults who had parental responsibilities of children and adolescents and who received different types of food assistance, between July and December 2022, in four cities. Results showed that adults tend to develop a wide range of coping strategies aimed at: reducing food expenditure, increasing the availability of money for purchasing food, increasing food availability and/or rationing the food available in the household. Some of the strategies were implemented regardless of the severity of food insecurity, whereas others were characteristic of the moderate and severe levels of the construct. Evidence to support the mediation effect of coping strategies on health outcomes was found. Discourses suggested that lower accumulation of economic and cultural capital may be aligned with the adoption of less socially accepted mechanisms to access to food. Expressions of a specific habitus aimed at securing food were identified among participants with more deprivations. Taken together, the findings suggest that coping strategies may not be a universal or invariant sequence according to the severity of food insecurity and stress the importance of considering households' resources and local context for the development of strategies to improve access to food.

RESUMO

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo descrever as ações do Programa Saúde na Escola em 2022 no município de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, segundo a perspectiva de profissionais da educação. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, contemplando 51 das 60 escolas de Ensino Fundamental de nível municipal. Foram utilizados dois questionários estruturados administrados aos responsáveis pelo Programa ou membros da equipe gestora das instituições por meio telefônico, ou presencial. Os temas abordados com diretores, vice-diretores, orientadores educacionais e coordenadores pedagógicos incluíram a existência do Programa, as temáticas desenvolvidas, sua frequência, capacitação, envolvimento de profissionais de saúde e educação, articulação entre setores, apoio, autonomia de estudantes e barreiras para implementação do programa. Entre as 51 escolas analisadas, 41 (80,5%) delas possuíam o programa, com frequência das ações prevalentes a cada 3 meses (39,0%) e sendo a ação de Promoção da saúde bucal (90,2%) a mais apontada. Em 70,7% das escolas foram realizadas ações de promoção de atividade física. Além disso, observou-se o setor saúde como principal responsável pelas ações (87,8%), limitada participação dos alunos na escolha das temáticas (34,0%) e escassez de capacitações aos educadores (36,6%). Embora uma instituição universitária tenha se apresentado como fonte de apoio (53,7%) e todas as escolas com o programa registraram ao menos uma ação realizada, a sobrecarga (36,6%) e a necessidade de articulação (34,1%) foram as barreiras mais relatadas. Apesar dos desafios e dificuldades em diversos indicadores, foram identificadas iniciativas que configuram o Programa como importante ferramenta para promoção da saúde de escolares no município.

This research aimed to describe the actions of the School Health Program in 2022 in the municipality of Pe-lotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from the perspective of education professionals. This is a cross-sectional, as-sessing 51 of the 60 municipal elementary schools. Two structured questionnaires were administered to those responsible for the Program or members of the management team of the institutions by telephone or face-to-face. Topics addressed with principals, vice-principals, educational advisors and pedagogical coordinators included the description of the existence of the Program, the themes developed, as well as its frequency, train-ing, involvement of health and education professionals, articulation between sectors, support, autonomy of students and barriers to the implementation of the program. Among the 51 schools analyzed, 41 (80.5%) of them had the program, with the frequency of prevalent actions every 3 months (39.0%) and the Oral Health Promotion action (90.2%) being the most pointed out. In 70.7% of the schools, actions to promote physical activity were carried out. In addition, the health sector was the main responsible for the actions (87.8%), limited participation in the choice of themes (34.0%) and scarcity in the provision of training for educa-tors (36.6%). Although a local university was a strong support (53.7%) and all schools with the program recorded at least one action taken, overload (36.6%) and the need for articulation (34.1%) were the most reported barriers. Despite the challenges and difficulties in several indicators, initiatives were identified that configure the Program as an important tool for promoting the health of schoolchildren in the municipality.

RESUMO

The global rise in companion animal populations, particularly dogs and cats, is driven by emotional and social benefits for owners, and their population management is becoming critically important to avoid a plethora of adverse effects on themselves, humans, and wildlife. We estimated the size and density of the owned canine and feline population in Chile and evaluated the status of microchipping, registration, sterilization rates, and the proportion of owned animals that roam unsupervised. A cross-sectional household survey in 36 districts was conducted and standard inferential statistics was employed to analyze differences between cats and dogs, sexes within each species, and between rural and urban areas. Additionally, two negative binomial models with mixed effects were developed to predict the number of dogs and cats per households. Two methods were used to compare population size estimates at the country level, multiplying: (1) the estimated mean number of companion animals per household by the estimated number of households at the country level, and (2) the estimated human:dog and human:cat ratios by the total human population. The study involved 6333 respondents, of which 76% (74% urban; 83% rural) owned companion animals (dogs and/or cats). Individuals in rural multi-person households increase the probability of owning dogs and/or cats. Additionally, women exhibit a greater inclination towards cat and dog ownership compared to men, while those over 30 years old demonstrate lower rates of companion animal ownership in contrast to the 18-30 age group for both species. The overall human:dog and human:cat ratios estimated were 2.7:1, and 6.2:1, respectively. The estimated total number of owned dogs and cats in Chile ranged from 9.6 to 10.7 million, depending on the methodological approach, while national median density of companion animals was 12 dogs per km2 (ranging from 0.02 to 7232) and 5 cats per km2 (ranging from 0.01 to 3242). This nationwide study showed one of the highest percentages of households with companion animals in Latin America and relatively low registration and sterilization rates, highlighting the need to strength long-term public policies to control populations of companion animals and promote responsibility in pet ownership.

RESUMO

Post-COVID-19, schools urgently need to enhance infection control and prevention (IPC) measures, including water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), to prepare for future outbreaks and pandemics. Particularly in Brazil, that is of particular concern, as students are still recovering from the 20th longest school closure in the world. Hence, the current study had two goals: (i) to describe WASH solutions outlined in policies released at the federal, state, and capital city levels in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic for the safe reopening of schools and (ii) to discuss their potential to enhance school's capacity to remain operational during a new pandemic or outbreak. With a qualitative exploratory approach, we performed content analysis to discuss the direction (what, where, how and for whom?) of 66 public policies by integrating four frameworks. Solutions were discussed in the light of the principles of human rights and the human rights to water and sanitation, international guidelines for WASH and IPC in schools and the Sphere minimum standards for humanitarian aid. One hundred and fifty-nine solutions, spanning five thematic areas and five population groups, including software and hardware interventions, were compiled for potential use in Brazil and beyond. While suggested solutions have the potential to provide a cleaner and safer learning environment, it is essential to exercise caution when implementing these measures and adapt them to the specific circumstances of each school.

RESUMO

This study aimed to analyse intersectoral arrangements among the health, education and social assistance sectors in the operationalization of the Bolsa Família Program (BFP). A qualitative approach was carried out, in a peripheral region of a large urban centre of Southeast Brazil. Data content analysis was performed on the basis of reference in the Actor-Network Theory (ANT) using statements by the actors and considering ideas in dispute and work processes in the geopolitical territorial context. Seventeen managers of Municipal Secretariats of Health, Education and Social Assistance were interviewed, as were basic education, primary health care and social assistance professionals. One-off, episodic and discontinuous intersectoral actions were identified, with limited integration among sectors. Convergences and conflicts were found with respect to the institutional processes of BFP. The convergences referred to the conceptions shared among the actors about the role of intersectoral collaboration, as they recognize themselves as providing care to the same vulnerable population. Considering the multiple vulnerabilities of these families, the convergence of actions from different sectors can impact factors that condition inequalities. The conflicts were related to institutional conditions, to sectorized work processes and to a lack of understanding by professionals about the duties of their respective sectors.

RESUMO

RESUMO Este artigo objetivou analisar o panorama dos esportes ginásticos olímpicos nos municípios paranaenses. Metodologicamente, seguiu-se os critérios da análise descritiva com coleta de dados realizada em três etapas distintas: 1) coleta de registros sobre a oferta das modalidades gímnicas no instrumento de pesquisa GEEM, do Instituto de Pesquisa Inteligência Esportiva; 2) consulta a documentos e notícias nos portais oficiais da Secretaria de Esporte do Paraná e Federação Paranaense de Ginástica; e 3) cruzamento dos dados levantados. Conclui-se que há ênfase na oferta de Ginástica Artística Feminina e Ginástica Rítmica, sem fomento à Ginástica de Trampolim - especialmente nos Jogos oficiais do Estado -, sendo que 16% dos municípios paranaenses incentivam ao menos uma das práticas gímnicas competitivas, seja na Formação Esportiva, Excelência Esportiva ou Esporte para a Vida Toda.

ABSTRACT This article aimed to analyze the panorama of Olympic gymnastics in municipalities of Paraná. Methodologically, the study followed the criteria of descriptive analysis with data collection conducted in three distinct stages: 1) gathering records on the provision of gymnastic modalities using the GEEM research tool from the Instituto de Pesquisa Inteligência Esportiva; 2) consulting documents and news on the official portals of the Sports Department of Paraná and the Paraná Gymnastics Federation; and 3) cross-referencing the collected data. It is concluded that there is an emphasis on the provision of Women's Artistic Gymnastics and Rhythmic Gymnastics, with little support for Trampoline Gymnastics - especially in official state games - as only 16% of municipalities in Paraná encourage at least one of the competitive gymnastic practices, whether in Sports Training, Sports Excellence, or Lifelong Sports.

RESUMO

Resumo Este trabalho analisa as ações e parcerias estabelecidas entre os integrantes das Secretarias Estaduais de Saúde e da Assistência Social do Rio de Janeiro e outras organizações da área da saúde e assistência para atender à emergência sanitária desencadeada pela síndrome congênita do vírus Zika entre os anos de 2015 e 2018. O contexto caracterizava-se por acentuada crise econômica, erosão da capacidade de governança das autoridades políticas no estado, e reduzido conhecimento técnico-científico sobre a epidemia. Além de análise de documentos relativos ao tema, foram feitas 17 entrevistas com gestores e profissionais das duas secretarias. Roteiros semiestruturados focalizaram ações intersetoriais e processos de cooperação e coordenação inter e intraorganizacional. A grade analítica contemplou aspectos dos papéis interpessoais, informacionais e de tomada de decisão dos gestores e técnicos. Os resultados mostram que, apesar da crise política e econômica, os atores das secretarias conseguiram criar um fluxo de atenção aos pacientes. Observou-se que mecanismos informais de cooperação e coordenação foram fundamentais para a criação de estratégias intersetoriais de longo prazo.

Abstract This paper focuses on the actions and partnerships established between members of the State Secretariats of Health and Social Assistance in Rio de Janeiro and other organizations in the health and assistance areas to respond to the health emergency triggered by the congenital Zika virus syndrome between 2015 and 2018. Some characteristics of the context were: a severe economic crisis, the erosion of the governance capacities of the state political authorities as well and scarce technical-scientific knowledge about the epidemic. The study was grounded on an analysis of documents related to the topic, 17 semi-structured interviews with managers and professionals from the two secretariats. Interview scripts focused on intersectoral actions and processes of cooperation and coordination within and between organizations. The analytical grid included aspects of the interpersonal, informational, and decision-making roles of managers and technicians. The results show that, despite the political and economic crisis, the Secretariat actors managed to create a flow of care for patients. Informal cooperation and coordination mechanisms were crucial for the creation of long-term intersectoral strategies.

RESUMO

Resumo Introdução: O Programa Nacional de Alimentação Escolar (PNAE) destaca-se por ser um dos maiores programas do mundo de alimentação escolar, contemplando o Direito Humano à Alimentação Adequada a estudantes brasileiros. Entretanto, alguns estudos têm observado baixa aceitabilidade e adesão à alimentação escolar. Objetivo: Analisar a percepção de merendeiras e escolares acerca da aceitabilidade e adesão à alimentação escolar. Metodologia: Pesquisa qualitativa realizada através de grupos focais com merendeiras de três escolas e escolares do sexto ao nono ano de escola pública de Sumidouro, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Os grupos focais foram realizados utilizando-se roteiros semiestruturados e gravados em áudio e vídeo, posteriormente transcritos e analisados por Análise de Conteúdo. Resultados: Foram identificados seis temas: autoconhecimento, adesão, aceitabilidade, preparo e distribuição da alimentação escolar, cardápio e ambiente. Conclusão: O emprego de esforços na melhoria da infraestrutura e aspecto do ambiente alimentar, com a aquisição de utensílios adequados, alteração no modelo de serviço de distribuição e no modo de preparo das refeições, resultando em cardápios variados, são estratégias que podem contribuir para melhorar a adesão e aceitabilidade à alimentação escolar. Essas mudanças favorecem a promoção de saúde no espaço escolar, com foco em políticas públicas saudáveis.

Abstract Introduction: National School Feeding Program (PNAE) stands out for being one of the largest school feeding programs in the world, contemplating the Human Right to Adequate Food for Brazilian students. However, some research works have observed low acceptability and adherence to school meals. Objective: To analyze the perception of school lunch ladies and students about acceptability and adherence to school meals. Methodology: Qualitative research carried out through focus groups with lunch ladies from three schools and students from the sixth to the ninth grade of a public school in Sumidouro, Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil. The focus groups were carried out using semi-structured scripts and recorded in audio and video, later transcribed and analyzed by Content Analysis. Results: Six themes were identified: self-knowledge, adherence, acceptability, preparation and distribution of school meals, menu and environment. Conclusion: The use of efforts to improve the infrastructure and aspect of the food environment, with the acquisition of adequate utensils, change in the distribution service model and in the way of preparing meals, resulting in varied menus, are strategies that can contribute to improve adherence and acceptability to school meals. These changes favor the promotion of health in the school environment, focusing on healthy public policies.

Resumo Objetivo Caracterizar o conhecimento que relacione a velhice, trabalho, idadismo e ações na saúde do trabalhador a partir de uma revisão de escopo. Método Baseado em uma pergunta norteadora e critérios de busca foi realizada uma seleção de artigos entre abril a junho de 2023 nas bases Scientific Eletrônico Library Online (SCIELO), Web of Science, Scopus, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) e PUBMED. No total de 1.745 produções encontradas, 26 artigos corresponderam aos critérios de elegibilidade, sendo estes publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Resultados Da análise, resultaram duas categorias a serem discutidas: impactos do idadismo na saúde do trabalhador e ações para a saúde da pessoa idosa nos ambientes de trabalho. As principais medidas encontradas para a redução do idadismo nos ambientes de trabalho incluem a presença de uma equipe de saúde nos ambientes de trabalho que levam ao adoecimento e incentivo à educação em gerontologia para os trabalhadores. Conclusão Observou-se a incipiência de estudos sobre a velhice do trabalhador, o reconhecimento acerca das doenças mais frequentes entre pessoas idosas que trabalham e as profissões em que elas se encontram mais vulneráveis ao idadismo. Novas investigações poderão dar subsídios para que sejam promovidas políticas com atenção a pessoa idosa que trabalha e o desenvolvimento de uma cultura organizacional geracional.

Abstract Objective To characterize the knowledge that relates aging, work, ageism, and actions in worker health through a scope review. Method Based on a guiding question and search criteria, a selection of papers was conducted between April and June 2023 in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Web of Science, Scopus, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), and PUBMED databases. Out of a total of 1,745 productions found, 26 papers met the eligibility criteria, all of which were published in the last 10 years. Results From the analysis, two categories emerged for discussion: the impacts of ageism on worker health and actions for the health of elderly people in work environments. The main measures found to reduce ageism in work environments include the presence of a health team in workplaces that lead to illness and the promotion of education in gerontology for workers. Conclusion The incipiency of studies on the aging of the worker was observed, as well as the recognition of the most common diseases among elderly people who work and the professions in which they are most vulnerable to ageism. Further investigations may provide insights for the promotion of policies attentive to elderly people in the workforce and the development of a generational organizational culture.

RESUMO

Objective: To analyze the experiences of transgender women and travestis regarding the use of hormones for body changes without a medical prescription. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, quantitative and qualitative study, using data from “TransOdara”, which estimated the prevalence of Sexually Transmitted Infections in transgender women and travestis recruited through Respondent-Driven Sampling, between December 2019 and July 2021, in São Paulo, Campo Grande, Manaus, Porto Alegre, and Salvador, Brazil. The main outcome was: use of hormones without medical prescription and associated risk factors. Descriptive analysis, mixed univariate logistic regression models, and semi-structured interviews were carried out. Results: Of the 1,317 recruited participants, 85.9% had already used hormones. The current use of hormones was reported by 40.7% (536) of them. Of those who were able to inform the place where they obtained them, 72.6% (381/525) used them without a medical prescription. The variables associated with the outcome were: current full-time sex work (OR 4.59; 95%CI 1.90–11.06) or in the past (OR 1.92; 95%CI 1.10–3.34), not having changed their name (OR 3.59; 95%CI 2.23–5.76), not currently studying (OR 1.83; 95%CI 1.07–3.13), being younger (OR 2.16; 95%CI 1.31–3.56), and having suffered discrimination at some point in life for being a transgender women and travestis (OR 0.40; 95%CI 0.20–0.81). Conclusion: The use of nonprescribed hormones is high among transgender women and travestis, especially among those who are younger, did not study, have not changed their name, and with a history of sex work. This use is related to the urgency for gender transition, with excessive use and damage to health.

Objetivo: Analisar experiências de mulheres trans e travestis com o uso de hormônios para mudança corporal sem prescrição médica. Métodos: Estudo de corte transversal, quantitativo e qualitativo, utilizando um recorte do TransOdara, que estimou prevalência de Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis em mulheres trans e travestis, recrutadas por meio de Respondent-Driven Sampling, entre dezembro de 2019 e julho de 2021, em São Paulo, Campo Grande, Manaus, Porto Alegre e Salvador. Principal desfecho: uso de hormônios sem prescrição médica e fatores associados. Foram realizados análise descritiva e modelos de regressão logísticos univariados mistos e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Resultados: Das 1.317 participantes recrutadas, 85,9% já haviam usado hormônios. O uso atual de hormônios foi referido por 40,7% (536) delas. Das que souberam informar o local onde os conseguiram, 72,6% (381/525) faziam uso sem prescrição médica. As variáveis associadas ao uso sem prescrição foram: exercer trabalho sexual em tempo integral (OR 4,59; IC95% 1,90–11,06) ou no passado (OR 1,92; IC95% 1,10–3,34); não ter retificado o nome (OR 3,59; IC95% 2,23–5,76); não estar estudando (OR 1,83; IC95% 1,07–3,13); ser mais jovem (OR 2,16; IC95% 1,31–3,56); ter sofrido discriminação em algum momento na vida por ser mulheres trans e travestis (OR 0,40 – IC95% 0,20–0,81). Conclusão: O uso de hormônios não prescritos é alto entre mulheres trans e travestis, principalmente entre as mais jovens, as que não estudavam, as que não retificaram o nome e as com histórico de trabalho sexual. Está relacionado à urgência para a transição de gênero, com uso exagerado e danos à saúde.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Obesity and non-communicable diseases are the most important cause of death and inability in Brazil and worldwide. Public policies are an important strategy to prevent obesity. This study analysed the scope of Brazilian public policies for preventing and controlling obesity using the INFORMAS/Food-EPI protocol. METHODS: The public policies evaluation was conducted based on the INFORMAS/Food-EPI protocol. Experts from academia, civil society, and government assessed the level of implementation of food policies compared with international best practices and proposed new actions to be developed nationally. The protocol consisted of five phases: (1) A comprehensive review of the implementation of food environment-related public policies; (2) validation with experts; (3) comparison of the national actions with the international best practice and due to the level of implementation; (4) list a set of actions to improve the current policies; and (5) evaluation of the actions due to their importance and achievability. RESULTS: Brazilian actions were focused on monitoring, leadership, governance, and resources and financing domains. CONCLUSION: The results will provide elements to support and improve the national policies that aim at the promotion of a healthy food environment and obesity prevention.

RESUMO

Resumo: Escrito sob a forma de um ensaio teórico, o artigo levanta reflexões sobre o modo de gestão do orçamento público no Brasil e sua articulação com dois eixos temáticos: tratamento da dívida pública e promoção de políticas sociais. As considerações finais apontam para a possibilidade de associar as práticas na gestão do orçamento federal brasileiro e um estado de exceção econômica perpetuado ao longo do tempo e, como desdobramento, limitante da promoção de direitos de proteção social.

Abstract: Written in the form of a theoretical essay, the article raises reflections on the way the public budget is managed in Brazil and its articulation with two thematic axes: austerity, treatment of public debt and promotion of social policies. Final considerations point to the possibility of associating practices in the management of the Brazilian federal budget and a state of economic exception perpetuated over time and, as a result, limiting the promotion of social protection rights.

RESUMO

RESUMO Este artigo teve como objetivo compreender os Determinantes Sociais da Saúde (DSS), em área periférica de uma capital brasileira, sob a perspectiva de atores sociais e políticos da região. Baseou-se na abordagem qualitativa, com 45 participantes, entre trabalhadores do setor saúde; de sede administrativa regional; vereadores, líderes religiosos e representantes de entidades organizadas do Grande Bom Jardim, Fortaleza (CE). Utilizou-se de análise documental, de grupo focal e de entrevista semiestruturada. Realizou-se análise de conteúdo, englobando as categorias dos DSS e os temas gerais 'dentro e fora de casa', analisados com base nas representações sociais. As mudanças positivas se evidenciaram no tema 'dentro das casas' dos moradores: alimentação, melhorias advindas de benefícios da política de assistência social, aumento do abastecimento de água e de energia elétrica. No tema 'fora das casas', a influência negativa na saúde destacou-se com baixo índice de cobertura de saneamento básico, insuficiência na oferta de transporte público e insegurança. Propõe-se a inclusão de temas sobre segurança, energia elétrica, mobilidade urbana, assistência social e saneamento básico para subsidiar novos estudos sobre determinação social e elaboração de medidas que contribuam para a promoção da saúde e equidade social nos territórios urbanos.

ABSTRACT The aim was to understand the Social Determinants of Health (SDH) in the outskirts of a Brazilian capital, from the perspective of social and political actors in the region. It was based on the qualitative methodological approach, with 45 participants including health workers of the regional administrative headquarter, councilors, religious leaders, and representatives of organized entities from Grande Bom Jardim - Fortaleza (CE). We used document analysis, focus group, and semi-structured interview. The content analysis was carried out, encompassing the SDH categories and the general themes 'inside the household' and 'outside the household', analyzed based on social representations. In the results, the positive changes were evident on the theme 'inside the household' of residents: nourishment, improvements resulting from benefits of social assistance policies, an increase in water and electricity supply. On the theme 'outside the household', the negative influence on health was evidenced by the low level of basic sanitation coverage, insufficient supply of public transport, and insecurity. It is proposed to include the themes of security, electricity, urban mobility, social assistance, and basic sanitation to support new studies on social determination and the development of measures that contribute to the promotion of health and social equity in urban territories.

RESUMO

Este ensaio tem como objetivo abordar o contributo da implementação de Exercício Multicomponente na vida de pessoas idosas residentes em Moçambique (país em desenvolvimento), bem como, confrontar com as ações ligadas à execução das políticas públicas sociais de proteção adstritas a esse grupo populacional. O exercício multicomponente é constituído por um leque de tarefas físicas combinadas recomendadas ao idoso que consiste em atividades que envolvem várias capacidades físicas simultaneamente: aeróbica, treino de marcha, equilíbrio, força, potência e resistência muscular. Para a escrita do ensaio, além das reflexões dos autores, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura, bem como, a discussão de documentos oficiais de políticas públicas em vigor em Moçambique. Ficou patente a necessidade de se incluir os exercícios multicomponentes na rotina dos idosos de Moçambique devido a sua relevância no impulsionamento do controle ou reversão das fragilidades biopsicossociais do idoso.

This essay aims to address the contribution of the implementation of Multicomponent Exercise in the lives of elderly people living in Mozambique (developing country), as well as confronting the actions related to the implementation of public social protection policies for this populational group. Multicomponent exercise consists of a range of combined physical tasks recommended for the elderly, consisting of activities that involve several physical capabilities simultaneously: aerobics, gait training, balance, strength, power and muscular endurance. For the writing of the essay, in addition to the authors reflections, a literature review was carried out, as well as the discussion of official documents of public policies in ruling in Mozambique. The need to include multicomponent exercises in the routine of elderly people in Mozambique became clear due to their relevance in boosting the control or reversal of biopsychosocial weaknesses in the elderly.

RESUMO Este estudo teve como objetivo verificar a percepção dos profissionais dos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) de São Paulo/SP da importância do trabalho multiprofissional em saúde mental para os usuários dos serviços e as relações possíveis com a integralidade do cuidado. Com as reformas sanitária e psiquiátrica, a integralidade passou a ser um princípio fundamental das ações de saúde, conceito que vem sendo entendido a partir de diversas influências. Foram entrevistados 27 profissionais de nível superior e utilizado o referencial metodológico da análise de conteúdo. Os participantes não apresentaram clareza sobre a noção de integralidade do cuidado, valorizando a integralidade e o trabalho de integração disciplinar de forma concomitante a ações tutelares e não favorecedoras de autonomia. Tal fato se deve ao pouco conhecimento teórico do tema sobre a integralidade e a prática ainda persistente centrada na falta de autonomia e ausência de contratualidade na relação profissional e usuário. A efetivação da integralidade do cuidado é aspecto fundamental na compreensão dos usuários de saúde mental como sujeitos de direitos, importante desafio à reforma psiquiátrica brasileira.

RESUMEN Este estudio tuvo como objetivo verificar la percepción de los profesionales de los Centros de Atención Psicosocial (CAPS) en São Paulo / SP de la importancia del trabajo multiprofesional en Salud Mental para los usuarios del servicio y las posibles relaciones con la atención integral. Con las reformas de salud y psiquiátricas, la integralidad se ha convertido en un principio fundamental de las acciones de salud, un concepto que se ha entendido desde diferentes influencias. Veintisiete profesionales de la educación superior fueron entrevistados y se utilizó el marco metodológico del Análisis de Contenido. Los participantes no tenían claro el concepto de atención integral, valorando el trabajo integral y de integración disciplinaria al mismo tiempo que las acciones tutelares que no favorecen la autonomía. Este hecho se debe a la falta de conocimiento teórico sobre el tema de la exhaustividad y la práctica aún persistente centrada en la falta de autonomía y la ausencia de contractualidad en la relación profesional y de usuario. La efectividad de la atención integral es un aspecto fundamental en la comprensión de los usuarios de salud mental como sujetos de derechos, un desafío importante para la reforma psiquiátrica brasileña.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to verify professionals' perceptions of Psychosocial Care Centers (Centros de Atenção Psicossocial - CAPS) in São Paulo / SP regarding the importance of multiprofessional work in Mental Health for service users and the possible relationships with comprehensive care. The Health and Psychiatric Reforms made comprehensiveness a fundamental principle of health actions, a concept understood through various influences. Twenty-seven higher education professionals were interviewed, and the Content Analysis methodological framework was used. The participants were unclear about integrality care, valuing comprehensiveness and disciplinary integration work concomitantly to tutelage actions that do not favor autonomy. This fact is due to the lack of theoretical knowledge on comprehensiveness issues and the still persistent practice centered on the absence of autonomy and contractuality in the professional-user relationship. The effectiveness of comprehensive care is fundamental to understanding Mental Health users as subjects of rights, an important challenge for Brazilian Psychiatric Reform.
