Barros MCS, et al. Project-based learning for teaching and learning Public Health in Medical care: an experience report. Interface(Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200167 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200167 During the seventh semester of a medical degree offered by a federal university in Brazil, we developed the curriculum module Public Health to problematize issues related to gender and sexuality at the interface of public policy and health care. We chose project-based learning (PBL) as the teaching-learning method for this module. Drawing on the relevant literature, we provide an account of this experience, reflecting on its strengths and weaknesses. The findings show that PBL enabled the development of problem-solving, communication and conflict management skills, critical thinking and professionalism. PBL was also capable of integrating the teaching

We found educational, political, social and human aspects that were heterogeneous between health teams. These lead to the construction of

(In)visibility of service user-workers in the interaction with health care professionals in the context of a family health center

Andrade AGM, et al. (In)visibility of service user-workers in the interaction with health care professionals in the context of a family health center. Interface (Botucatu). 2021; 25: e200700 https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.200700 This study aimed to understand how work-related health needs appear in the interaction between service users (workers) and family health professionals and affect care. We adopted ethnographic methods to collect data, including recording observed appointments in a field diary and situated and semi-structured interviewing. The worker became visible to the health professionals through formal requests, clinical manifestations, patient-professional bonds and the patient profile. During the appointments we observed responses oriented by clinical complaints and gaps in the coordination of care. The (in)visibility of workers in the context of appointments was

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

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

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
