Abstract

BARROS, Juliana de Oliveira et al. Intersectoriality in health and work in the current brazilian context: the utopia of reality?. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190303. Epub Dec 09, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190303. The social-economic-political scenario since 2015 presents new challenges and characterizations for the worker’s comprehensive health care. The aim was to give visibility to the perspective of public policies managers and formulators directed to the worker regarding intersectoriality in the transition period in the last three Brazilian governments. To this end, we interviewed some people from different sectors (Health, Labor, Social Welfare, and Justice) linked to the workers’ health. There was a consensus concerning the difficulties faced in implementing intersectoral practice. Overall, this led to

Abstract

BRIOLOTTI, Ana S.. Child Neurology in its prophylactic-social projection: Pediatrics, Mental Hygiene and Psychology in Argentina (1934-1940). Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190319. Epub Feb 10, 2020. ISSN 1414-3283. https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.190319. The article analyzes the proposal of Aquiles Gareiso and Florencio Escardó concerning the integration of Neurology into Pediatrics. In a period in which the majority of the physicians conceived Neurology as a discipline centered on diagnosis, Gareiso’s and Escardó’s proposal interacted with Social Medicine, Eugenics and Mental Hygiene to propose a dynamic focus, with preventive potentials. Based on the principle of neuropsychological parallelism, Neuropediatrics provided semiological tools for early diagnoses, excluding, initially, the contributions of Psychology. Subsequently, this principle was reviewed in light of its

CATALAN-MATAMOROS, Daniel; NASCIMENTO, Beatriz Guzmán do e LANGBECKER, Andrea. Visual content published by the press during a health crisis: The case of Ebola, Spain, 2014.

Considering the scarce number of studies in this sphere, the objective is to analyze the visual content published by the press during the health crisis of Ebola in Spain, which caused great alarm in that society in 2014. In a sample of Spanish newspapers, visual content was identified in 92% (n=160) of the articles about Ebola and in 87.5% (n=14) of front pages. Photography was the most used resource (69.2%), followed by graphs (9.2%) and infographics (8.8%),

Abstract

RUSSO, Jane A. and NUCCI, Marina Fisher. Giving birth in paradise: humanized birth, oxytocin, and the bodily production of a new maternity. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e180390. Epub Jan 17, 2020. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.180390. Brazil is the world champion in number of cesarean sections, especially in the private health sector. This figure can reach more than 80% among middle and upper class pregnant women in some regions of the country. Opposing this situation, the “humanized birth” movement has been gaining ground. Its objectives are the denouncement of “obstetric violence” and the return to a “natural” form of parturition and childbirth care. In this article we aim to discuss the way in which the ideas of

Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e180616. Epub 14-Nov-2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.180616. We aim to reflect upon the difficulties and potentials of applying a questioning education in a multiprofessional health residency program to strengthen the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) by qualifying pedagogical actions in this field. This is a participative evaluative research of the case-study type, with a qualitative approach, conducted in a multiprofessional mental health residency program. Among the identified Freire’s pedagogical elements, the action-reflection-action feedback loop is highlighted, which enables to intensify the educational process. The limitations

Abstract

BENEDETTO, Maria Auxiliadora Craice De e GALLIAN, Dante Marcello Claramonte. The narratives of medicine and nursing students: the concealed curriculum and the dehumanization of health care. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2018, vol.22, n.67, pp.1197-1207. Epub 21-Maio-2018. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/1807-57622017.0218. A predominantly biomedical focus attributed to teaching and practice in health sciences contributes to a dehumanization process, which is one of the main complaints of Brazil’s health system users. Any strategy that intends to address the issue depends on the presence of well-educated health professionals from both the technical and humanistic point of view. The greatest deficits concern humanistic education. The present article presents part of a larger study that aimed to investigate the effectiveness of
