New subjectivation modes in nurse education in the area of Mental Health

Cecilio SG, et al. New subjectivation modes in nurse education in the area of Mental Health. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200688 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200688 This cartographic research aims to analyze new subjectivation modes in nurse education in the area of Mental Health. Data were collected by means of semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation, developed during a mental health discipline of a Nursing course that was offered in the first semester of 2019. The produced data were grounded on the Philosophy of Difference proposed by Deleuze and Guattari. Through the observed classroom, new ways of teaching about Nursing education in Mental Health emerged. These new ways reflect an expressive ethical-esthetic-political posture in an education territory that, instead of reproducing forms and models,

In search of the contemporary definition of “academic leagues” based on the health sciences’ experience

Cavalcante ASP, et al. In search of the contemporary definition of “academic leagues” based on the health sciences’ experience. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e190857 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.190857

This study sought a contemporary definition of ‘academic leagues’, based on the experience of 8 ALs in 2 public universities that have campuses in the countryside of the State of Ceará, Brazil. The ALs were equally divided between the undergraduate courses in Nursing and Medicine. Data collection took place in documents, interviews, and field observation and, subsequently, the data obtained underwent content analysis. On the one hand, the risks of adhering to clinical practices and corporate specialism have been shown; on the other hand, student protagonism and the interactions

Health education in primary care: approaches and strategies envisaged in public health policies

Fittipaldi ALM, O’Dwyer G, Henriques P. Health education in primary care: approaches and strategies envisaged in public health policies. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200806 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200806 This study analyzed the health education strategies described in the formulation of public policies using document analysis and drawing on the following approaches to health education as a frame of reference: preventive; informed choice; personal development; radical; and popular health education. We identified three categories that demarcate the analysis: preventive approaches focused on the individual; the radical approach and macro determinants of health; and strategies to encourage autonomy and public participation. The findings show that various approaches employing interactive and complementary education strategies were present in the policies

The circuit of affects in drug addiction: an alternative explanation for the servitude to drugs

Roberto Tykanori Kinoshita. The circuit of affects in drug addiction: an alternative explanation for the servitude to drugs. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200787 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200787 Abstract We present an alternative explanation for drug addiction, reflecting on the reasons that lead a person to persevere in drug consumption despite knowing the harm that this consumption brings. Based on the works by Humberto Maturana and on the theory of affects in Spinoza’s Ethics, we assume that human beings are moved by passions and formulate the circuit of affects of drug addiction. In this circuit, we have identified three affective complexes: the singular personal complex, the relief/oblivion complex, and the psychosocial complex, which form a spiral dynamics of sad affects. Such affects

Bodily practices/physical activity in the City Gym Program: health care and participants’ discourse

Mauro da Costa Fernandes e João Leite Ferreira Neto. Bodily practices/physical activity in the City Gym Program: health care and participants’ discourse. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200809 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200809 This article investigates the bodily practices/physical activity and discources produced by participants in the City Gym Program in Belo Horizonte, Brazil in relation to comprehensive primary health care. We conducted a qualitative study anchored in multiple case studies using participant observation and semi-structured interviews and drawing on the concept of subjectivation proposed by Michel Foucault. In the two gyms included in this study, the findings reveal the presence of the hegemonic approach to health care, represented by the notion of physical activity, and other approaches that resemble the concept

Redecin Brazil: constructing the methodology of a multicentric study to evaluate the care network for people with disabilities

Kátia Suely Queiroz Silva Ribeiro, et al. Redecin Brazil: constructing the methodology of a multicentric study to evaluate the care network for people with disabilities. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200767 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200767

This article presents the methodological path of the Redecin study - Evaluation of the Implementation of the Care Network for People with Disabilities (RCPCD) in Brazil. We conducted a multicentric cross-sectional study adopting a hybrid design involving quantitative instruments (document analysis and structured questionnaires) and qualitative methods (interviews with key informants about the implementation of the RCPCD). After discussions with informants from the Ministry of Health and research group, a health region/macro region configuration was adopted, involving all the components of the RCPCD

Brazil counts on me in the Covid-19 pandemic: a reflective essay on advancing the timeline of Nursing education

Júnia Aparecida Laia da Mata, et al. Brazil counts on me in the Covid-19 pandemic: a reflective essay on advancing the timeline of Nursing education. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25 (Supl. 1): e200798 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200798

The Strategic Action “Brasil Conta Comigo - Profissionais da Saúde” was created in the context of the current Covid-19 pandemic, directed to train and keep records of health workers. Aligned with this strategy, the Ministry of Education has issued an Ordinance authorizing to advance the timeline of graduation for health professions, triggering a wave of early graduations. This context prompted us to prepare a reflective essay on the problems involved when nurses’ education is cut short. The reflections were woven based

Healthcare and alienation: technology mediated relationship

Diego de Oliveira Souza. Healthcare and alienation: technology mediated relationship. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25:e200776 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200776 There are different perspectives regarding the role of technology at work. There are those that attribute human evolution to the type of technology in use today. There are also those who see technology as inevitably dehumanizing. We present this study to contribute a theoretical-critical line to this debate, especially in the field of healthcare. To this end, we base our analysis on Marx and Lukács’s conceptions of work, abstract work and alienation. We develop a perspective of care and work within healthcare, based on this reference. We then open a dialogue with authors within Collective Health, highlighting the debate that

Epistemological dialogue in Public Health: Arendtian narrative as theoretical and methodological contribution to research investigating health education and training

Abstract

Bruno Pereira Stelet. Epistemological dialogue in Public Health: Arendtian narrative as theoretical and methodological contribution to research investigating health education and training. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200584 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200584
Identifying qualitative methods that ensure methodological rigor is a major challenge in the field of public health. The use of narrative approaches as a research tool can help understand human experience in the face of complex health and disease processes. This article applies the philosophical thinking of Hannah Arendt to the field of public health, reflecting on health education and training based on the idea of human plurality. We provide insights into the Arendtian concept of “narrative”, which can also serve as an epistemological and methodological frame of

Health care as a democratic practice: actions in drug use settings to analyze democracy in Brazil

Abstract

Rodrigues RC, Silva CM. Health care as a democratic practice: actions in drug use settings to analyze democracy in Brazil. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200484 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200484 This article articulates democracy, health and health care among vulnerable groups. We use state actions in drug use settings in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro carried out in conjunction with interventions to evict drug users living in districts that have become commercial areas to analyze democracy in Brazil; typical interventions associated with neoliberalism and its legal counterpart, the State of Permanent exception. We understand that government policies based on abstinence and internment of drug addicts are in tune with the so-called war on drugs. We highlight that the approach
