Abstract

MAROJA, Maria Clara Santana; ALMEIDA JUNIOR, José Jailson de e NORONHA, Claudianny Amorim. Challenges of a questioning education to health professionals in a multiprofessional residency program. 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

BRILHANTE, Aline Veras Morais; GIAXA, Renata Rocha Barreto; BRANCO, July Grassiely de Oliveira e VIEIRA, Luiza Jane Eyre de Souza. Rape culture and ostentatious violence: an analysis from the artifactuality of funk. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, e170621. Epub 21-Jan-2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.170621. The present study analyzed, from the perspective of social constructionism, funk songs with a broad media repercussion and significant sharing in streaming services, with lyrics that refer to sexual violence: Baile de Favela and Malandramente. The study was carried out through dialogic analysis and followed by the development of a dialogic map. The results point to the construction of the perfect victim, which trivializes sexual violence by blaming

The narratives of medicine and nursing students: the concealed curriculum and the dehumanization of health care

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

AIDS in posters: representations on sexuality and Aids prevention in December 1st campaigns in Brazil (2013-2017). Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e180626. Epub Oct 24, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.180626. The article sought to analyze representations of sexuality and prevention on posters produced by the Department of Chronic Conditions Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections (DCCI) stemming from the combination prevention (CP) guidelines adopted in 2013. A descriptive and documental content analysis of posters relative to the World Aids Day (December 1st) was carried out (2013-2017). Results indicate that relational aspects of condom use appear to be less relevant, and increments

Comprehensive care, intersectoral action and healthcare: paths to face suicide

Abstract

SANTOS, Luciana Almeida and KIND, Luciana. Comprehensive care, intersectoral action and healthcare: paths to face suicide. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190116. Epub Sep 23, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190116. Suicide is a serious public health problem that causes high emotional, social and economic costs to the patient, the family and the health services. This study aimed to conduct a narrative review of the literature on comprehensive care, intersectoral action and healthcare, attempting to articulate these terms to suicide prevention and to the treatment of people with suicidal behavior. Although these terms are consensually used in Brazilian public health policies, there still is a large distance between theory and practices that continue to reinforce a hospital-centered,

The teaching of global ethics: A theoretical proposal based on Intervention Bioethics

Abstract

GARRAFA, Volnei; CUNHA, Thiago Rocha da and MANCHOLA-CASTILLO, Camilo. The teaching of global ethics: A theoretical proposal based on Intervention Bioethics. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190029. Epub Jan 17, 2020. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190029. The article approaches global ethics in its applied perspective, targeted at educational practice, aiming to analyze, based on a theoretical investigation supported by the field of Bioethics, legitimacy for the definition of global goals to its teaching. Understanding that knowledge production is related to the geopolitical locus from which it develops, the study uses the framework of Intervention Bioethics, a theoretical approach identified with the critical thought of the “global south”, to analyze the possibility of defining universal ethical consensuses.

Assessment indicators of psychosocial children and teenager care centers: results of an intervention research. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190276. Epub Nov 27, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190276. In this study, we present the assessment indicators developed through a participatory research based on the hermeneutic theory, conducted with workers of psychosocial children and teenager care centers (CAPSIs) of a large Brazilian city. A course (with classes, shared appraisal group, dispersion activities, and narrative production) was offered, culminating in workshops for reaching a consensus and creating the indicators. The interpretative exercise involved organizing the shared appraisal group’s transcripts and transforming them into

The hero’s human face: analyzing firemen’s health-disease process based on virtual communities

Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Marisa Augusta de e OLIVEIRA, Simone Santos. The hero’s human face: analyzing firemen’s health-disease process based on virtual communities. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190252. Epub 24-Out-2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190252. Few studies deal with military firemen’s work/health relationship in national literature, among which many focus only on pathological indicators and/or physical consequences, not discussing their health and life needs at work. Aiming at analyzing this relationship under a wider, humanized perspective of heroes, an exploratory and methodologically innovative study was conducted in two industry blogs. Invisible or socially little known realities concerning the investigated group’s work process were unveiled, such as precarious labor conditions, illnesses, role deviation, humiliation, and dissatisfaction. These realities show the need

Directly Observed Therapy for treating tuberculosis: critical analysis of decentralization

Abstract

JUNGES, José Roque; BURILLE, Andréia and TEDESCO, Jiocasta. Directly Observed Therapy for treating tuberculosis: critical analysis of decentralization. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190160. Epub Oct 24, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190160. This article addresses decentralization of Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) for treating tuberculosis (TB) in a Brazilian city in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul. After implementing the strategy, treatment dropout rates decreased, but the city has not achieved the goal recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). This qualitative research was conducted through interviews with primary care and health surveillance professionals. The results showed that decentralizing the procedure can mean adding another task to primary care and
