Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190028. Epub Mar 16, 2020. ISSN 1807-5762. https://doi.org/10.1590/interface.190028. The potential of using operative group in food and nutrition education was analyzed based on professional performance. This qualitative study was conducted in primary care with groups of users with chronic diseases related to food and nutrition. A total of 15 meetings were observed and recorded. Parts of them representing professional work in the operative group’s assessment vectors were selected, validated, and transcribed. The actions in the belonging and telé (empathy) vectors converged to build the group’s bond and trust.

Observatories as sociotechnical networks: associative dynamics for acting in the analysis of health policies and systems

Abstract

PAIM, Marcele Carneiro e SANTOS, Maria Ligia Rangel. Observatories as sociotechnical networks: associative dynamics for acting in the analysis of health policies and systems. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190687. Epub 23-Mar-2020. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190687. The use of observatories to follow and monitor health systems and policies is steadily growing. We aimed to describe and review, using Actor-Network Theory (ANT), the connections and controversies that arise from observatories as socio-technical networks, in the context of health systems and policies analysis. Using a qualitative approach we present a study of multiple cases and graphic representations of cartography diagrams. The use of ANT and its Mapping of Controversies may help to understand in a broad and diverse

Abstract

MALVEZZI, Cilene Despontin and NASCIMENTO, Juliana Luporini do. Actor-Network Theory and the study of Intersectionality in public policies. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190341. Epub Mar 16, 2020. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190341. The polysemy of the term “network” is present in the political, economic, and social realities. Networks essentially aim at integrating and connecting people, objects, or ideas to decentralize and build horizontal relations among elements. In the public policy field, the intersectionality and intersectional networks logic is a strategy by the State to foster articulation among the public and private sectors and the civil society, given the complexity of issues and resource scarcity. In light of Bruno Latour’s Actor-Network Theory, the objective of this study

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

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
