Abstract

SANTOS, Luciana Almeida e KIND, Luciana. Comprehensive care, intersectoral action and healthcare: paths to face suicide. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2020, vol.24, e190116. Epub 23-Set-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, biologist and

Abstract

MENEZES, Alice Lopes do Amaral et al. Narratives of emotional distress in Primary Care in Brazil: contributions to a comprehensive and culturally sensitive Global Mental Health approach. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, e170803. Epub Apr 04, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.170803. Global Mental Health authors advocate on the one hand, for increased access to mental health care, including the use of standardized interventions. On the other, patients’ symptomatic expression of emotional distress hampers its identification by Primary Care professionals in Brazil. This affects the provision of care and demands culturally sensitive approaches. In order to understand patients’ perception of their emotional distress and of the care provided in Primary Health Care, a narrative qualitative method was adopted,

Abstract

FERREIRA, Jaqueline and BRANDAO, Elaine Reis. Challenges in the anthropological education of Healthcare professionals: a teaching experience in graduate studies in Collective Health. Interface (Botucatu) [online]. 2019, vol.23, e170686. Epub Feb 25, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.170686. Healthcare professionals have sought research education, in the area of Social Sciences, in the scope of Collective Health graduate programs. In this process, anthropological studies, grounded on the cultural anthropological method, have been frequent among these researchers (with no anthropological education). The objective of this study is to reflect on the experience of teaching and learning the theoretical-methodological foundations of cultural anthropological research in health, considering the teaching experience of the authors. The main pedagogical challenge consists in not

Epub Sep 12, 2019. ISSN 1414-3283. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/interface.190140.

In this work, we analyze those recommendations employing the Collective Mindsets Analysis method. The recommendations targeted at health professionals and general public fail due to not clarifying the characteristics of the most vulnerable population, compromising its applicability. The

A qualitative study was carried out with 12 PLWHA adults analyzing the perception of oral health and care expectations through thematic focus groups and in-depth interviews. The discourses were categorized by the thematic content analysis method. It was observed the need for
