A formação acadêmica em educação física para a atenção básica do SUS: uma revisão integrativa em teses e dissertações / Academic training in physical education for primary care in the SUS: an integrative review of theses and dissertations / La formación académica en educación física para la atención primaria en el SUS: una revisión integradora de tesis y disertaciones

Faz-se necessário abordar criticamente a promoção da saúde e os elementos que impactam o processo saúde/doença no cotidiano da formação do professor de Educação Física (EF). Portanto, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar teses e dissertações produzidas sobre a formação acadêmica em EF e sua relação com a saúde no contexto do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), por meio de uma revisão integrativa. O estudo encontrou seis dissertações que mostraram que apesar da percepção das universidades de que a formação acadêmica permite aos professores de EF atuar no SUS, é possível identificar a manutenção do discurso conservador e biomédico, o que afeta a compreensão, a percepção e a ação dos professores de EF em equipes multiprofissionais no contexto da Saúde Coletiva presente no SUS (AU).

It is necessary to critically approach health promotion and the elements that impact the health/disease process in the daily training of Physical Education (PE) teachers. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the theses and dissertations produced on academic training in PE and its relationship with health in the context of the Unified Health System (SUS), through an integrative review. The study found six dissertations that showed that, despite the universities' perception that academic training allows PE teachers to work in the SUS, it is possible to identify the maintenance of the conservative and biomedical discourse, which affects understanding, perception and action of PE teachers in multidis-ciplinary teams in the context of Collective Health in the present SUS (AU)

Knowledge, attitudes and practices related to oral health in First-Year university students of the Paraíso campus of the University of Costa Rica / Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas relacionadas con la salud bucal en estudiantes universitarios de primer año del Recinto de Paraíso de la Universidad de Costa Rica

Abstract People's knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to health are built throughout life, particularly during childhood and adolescence, and they reflect the practices of their family and social circle. The aim of this study was to identify the levels of knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to oral health of first-year university students at the Paraíso Campus of the University of Costa Rica. This was done through a questionnaire of closed questions that would allow oral health educational strategies to be established in the future for this population group. For this purpose, a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, where 70 first-year students of the Paraíso Campus participated in the first semester of the year 2019. For data collection, a survey of 22 closed questions on knowledge, attitudes, and practices about oral health was applied, and a score on oral health knowledge was subsequently performed, based on the answers to the questions. According to the results, the level of knowledge shown about oral health is low, since the average knowledge score (7.02 points) was less than half of the maximum score (17 points). The greatest deficiency in knowledge was evidenced in topics, such as, dental biofilm, gingivitis, use of fluorides, and the role of saliva. In addition, several practices that affect the condition of the oral cavity were identified, such as harmful habits, inadequate nutrition, and poor oral hygiene habits. In this study, a general lack of knowledge was identified regarding basic concepts of oral health in young university students, who are not clear about the role of some protective or risk factors related to the main oral diseases.

Resumen Los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas relacionados a la salud en las personas se construyen a través de la vida, particularmente durante la infancia y la adolescencia y reflejan las prácticas de su círculo familiar y social. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar los niveles de conocimiento, las actitudes y las prácticas relacionadas a la salud bucodental en estudiantes universitarios de primer ingreso en el Recinto de Paraíso de la Universidad de Costa Rica, mediante un cuestionario de preguntas cerradas que permitirá a futuro establecer estrategias educativas en salud bucal para este grupo de población. Se trató de un estudio descriptivo transversal de tipo observacional en 70 estudiantes de primer ingreso del Recinto de Paraíso en el I semestre del año 2019. Para la recolección de datos se aplicó una encuesta de 22 preguntas cerradas sobre los conocimientos, las actitudes y las prácticas sobre la salud oral. A partir de las preguntas sobre conocimiento en salud bucal se creó un puntaje de conocimiento. Se pudo evidenciar que el nivel de conocimiento sobre la salud bucal es bajo, ya que el promedio del puntaje de conocimiento (7,02 puntos) es menos de la mitad del puntaje máximo (17 puntos). La mayor deficiencia en el conocimiento se evidenció en temas como el biofilm dental, gingivitis, uso de fluoruros y el rol de la saliva. Además, se identificaron varias prácticas que afectan la condición de la cavidad bucal, como los hábitos nocivos, una alimentación inadecuada y hábitos de higiene oral deficiente. En este estudio se identificó en general una falta de conocimiento respecto a conceptos básicos de salud bucal en personas jóvenes universitarias, quienes no tienen claro la función de algunos factores protectores o de riesgo relacionados con las principales enfermedades bucales.

Knowledge, attitudes and practices related to oral health in participants of the institutional program for the inclusion of people with cognitive disabilities in higher education at the University of Costa Rica / Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas relacionadas con la salud oral en participantes del Programa Institucional de Inclusión de Personas con Discapacidad Cognitiva a la Educación Superior de la Universidad de Costa Rica

Abstract People with cognitive disabilities face multiple challenges concerning oral health and frequently show oral tissue decay because of the barriers society imposes upon them, and due to financial issues, professional and family lack of knowledge, limitations regarding access to services, lack of empowering-driven actions, among others. Positive knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding oral health, developed during the course of a lifetime, help in preserving good health. The aim of the current study is to describe oral health knowledge, attitudes and practices in people with cognitive disabilities participating in the Institutional Program for the Inclusion of People with Cognitive Disabilities in Higher Education at the University of Costa Rica (PROIN, in Spanish), during 2021. A descriptive study with mixed focus was performed; a representative sample comprised of 86 students enrolled in PROIN was used for the quantitative approach, while the qualitative approach used a criteria sample along with an opinion sample, limiting size due to information overload. The survey, along with its corresponding questionnaire and the semi-structured interview, were used as data gathering techniques. It was evidenced that certain issues need to be readdressed, such as bleeding gums, the importance of preserving dental pieces, as well, the practice of flossing, which many students expressed difficulties doing. Good attitudes were found, such as dentist visits; however, access barriers for this population must be overthrown. This article showed the importance of training professionals in disabilities as well as developing oral health promotion programs aimed at people with cognitive disabilities.

Resumen La población con discapacidad cognitiva enfrenta múltiples retos en cuanto a la salud oral, presentado comúnmente un deterioro de los tejidos orales; esto como consecuencia a las barreras impuestas por la sociedad, factores económicos, desconocimiento de los profesionales y familiares, limitaciones en el acceso a la atención, falta de acciones para fomentar su autonomía, entre otras. Los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas favorables en salud oral ayudan a conservar una buena salud, los cuales se desarrollan a lo largo de la vida. El objetivo del presente estudio es describir los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de salud oral en las personas con discapacidad cognitiva que participaron en el Programa Institucional de Inclusión de Personas con Discapacidad Cognitiva a la Educación Superior de la Universidad de Costa Rica (PROIN) durante el año 2021. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo con un enfoque mixto, para el enfoque cuantitativo se utilizó una muestra representativa de 86 estudiantes matriculados en PROIN y para la parte cualitativa se utilizó una muestra por criterio con un muestreo opinático, estableciendo el tamaño por saturación de la información. Se utilizaron como técnicas de recolección de datos la encuesta con su respectivo cuestionario y la entrevista semiestructurada. Se evidenció que existen temas que se deben reforzar, como lo es el sangrado de encías, la importancia de conservar las piezas dentales, así como la práctica de uso de hilo dental, donde la mayoría de los estudiantes expresaron tener dificultades para su utilización. Además, se encontró buenas actitudes con respecto a la visita al odontólogo, sin embargo, se debe derribar barreras de acceso que se presentan para esta población. Este estudio demostró la necesidad de capacitar a los profesionales en el tema de discapacidad y desarrollar programas de promoción de la salud oral específicos para personas con discapacidad cognitiva.

A política nacional de práticas integrativas e complementares na grande Vitória: uma análise sobre os caminhos e proposições das PIC como proposta de tratamento de saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) / The national policy for integrative and complementary practices in the metropolitan region of Vitória/ES: an analysis of the paths and propositions for PIC as a proposal for health treatment at the SUS / La política nacional de prácticas integrativas y complementarias en gran Vitória: un análisis sobre los caminos y proposiciones del PIC como propuesta de atención a la salud del Sistema Único de Salud (SUS)

Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa que tem por objetivo investigar a implementação das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares no SUS na Grande Vitória. Como estratégia metodológica foram utilizadas as entrevistas semiestruturadas com três profissionais (servidoras públicas) que atuam neste contexto: uma professora de Educação Física, uma Psicóloga e uma Assistente Social. Os resultados indicam barreiras como o preconceito, a descrença e a falta de legitimidade das PIC, as quais dificultam tanto a atuação profissional, quanto a busca dos usuários por esses tratamentos (AU).

Qualitative research that investigated the implementation of Integrative and Complementary Practices in SUS. As a methodological strategy, semi-structured interviews were used with three professionals (public servants) who work in this context: a physical education teacher, a psychologist and a social worker. It was identified that most of the PIC are offered in the capital city, leaving the other municipalities short of services. About these services, the professionals claim that there are barriers such as prejudice, disbelief and lack of legitimacy of the PIC, which hinder both the professional performance and the users' search for these treatments (AU).

Se identificó que la mayor parte del PIC se ofrece en la capital, quedando los demás municipios sin disponibilidad. En relación a estos servicios, los profesionales afirman que existen barreras como el prejuicio, la incredulidad y la falta de legitimidad de la PIC, que dificultan tanto la actuación profesional como la búsqueda de estos tratamientos por parte de los usuarios (AU).

Knowledge, attitudes, and practices in colorectal cancer screening in the Philippines

Background and Objective@#Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the third highest incidence in the Philippines. Currently, there is a paucity in literature that is focused on the knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of Filipinos regarding CRC screening. This is the first study in the Philippines that describes this. @*Methods@#This is a cross-sectional study that validated a 52-item Filipino questionnaire on the knowledge on colorectal cancer, willingness to undergo CRC screening, and perceived benefits and barriers to fecal occult blood test (FOBT) and colonoscopy. The study enrolled household heads more than 20 years of age residing in both urban and rural communities in the Philippines. @*Results@#The UP-PGH CRC KAP (University of the Philippines – Philippine General Hospital Colorectal Cancer Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices) and Rawl Questionnaire’s validity and internal consistency were established in a pilot study of 30 respondents. A total of 288 respondents were then enrolled to the main study group with a median age of 54.0. Knowledge scores for prognosis and utility of CRC screening were modest (6.3/12 and 8.4/20, respectively). Perceived benefit scores to FOBT and colonoscopy were high (9.9/12 and 13.9/16, respectively).Median scores to barriers to FOBT and colonoscopy were intermediate (22.5/36 and 35.8/60, respectively). Notably, a vast majority (86.1%) were willing to participate in CRC screening programs initiated by the government, and 46.9% agreed to undergo screening tests even as out-of-pocket expense. @*Conclusion@#The UP-PGH CRC KAP Questionnaire as well as the Filipino translation of the Rawl Questionnaire are reliable and valid tools in extensively assessing the knowledge of Filipinos on CRC and willingness to undergo screening, as well as the benefits of and barriers to FOBT and colonoscopy. Knowledge scores were modest suggesting that directed educational campaigns and awareness programs can aid in increasing awareness about CRC and its screening. Household income and highest educational attainment were significantly positively correlated with knowledge scores, and perceived benefits of and barriers to CRC screening. Scores were generally comparable between urban and rural communities.

Unraveling the Sugar Rush: A Cross-sectional Study of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Related to Sugar- Sweetened Beverages Consumption among Malaysian Young Adults

@#Introduction: The consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) among young adults in Malaysia has witnessed a notable increase in recent years, giving rise to concerns regarding the potential adverse health effects, including obesity and diabetes. Despite the urgent need for targeted interventions, there is a dearth of research examining the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to SSBs among Malaysian young adults. To address this research gap, the present study aims to assess the level of KAP concerning SSB intake and its associated factors in this specific population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 408 Malaysian young adults aged between 15 and 29 years. Respondents completed an online questionnaire survey, which encompassed the assessment of socio-demographic characteristics and KAP regarding SSB consumption. The collected data were analyzed using IBM’s Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22.0. Spearman correlation tests were performed at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The majority of respondents demonstrated moderate knowledge (60%) and practices (60%), while exhibiting a high positive attitude (100%) towards reducing SSB consumption. Significant correlations were observed between knowledge and attitude (p = 0.003, rs = 0.148) and between knowledge and practice (p = 0.005, rs = 0.138). Moreover, the attitude scores were found to be significantly associated with gender (χ2 (1, N = 408) = 10.421, p = 0.001) and locality (χ2 (1, N = 408) = 4.106, p = 0.043), while the practice scores exhibited a significant association with ethnicity (p = 0.006). Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights into the relationship between KAP related to SSB consumption and socio-demographic factors among Malaysian young adults. The findings underscore the importance of utilizing these insights to develop strategic interventions that aim to curtail SSB consumption and promote a healthy lifestyle, ultimately contributing to the reduction of non-communicable diseases. Health authorities are encouraged to capitalize on these findings to design targeted interventions tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of this population.

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar los aportes y desafíos que se presentan en la formación y en la intervención cuando estudiantes de terapia ocupacional realizan su práctica profesional a través de la telesalud, durante el periodo de confinamiento por pandemia Covid-19. Se utiliza como enfoque metodológico una sistematización de experiencia de tipo cualitativa. Se produce la información por medio de cuatro grupos focales y diez entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se realiza un análisis del contenido temático. Se establecen cuatro temas: 1) vínculo terapéutico y Aprendizaje-Servicio por telesalud, 2) aprendizajes alcanzados por telesalud, 3) lo que no se aprende fácilmente por telesalud y 4) prácticas pedagógicas de apoyo al aprendizaje en telesalud. Esta modalidad se potenciaría si se cuenta con la tecnología adecuada, si las atenciones son frecuentes y si se prepara a los cuidadores-familiares para apoyar los procesos de atención.

The objective of this study is to analyze the contributions and challenges that arise in training and intervention when occupational therapy students carry out their professional practice through telehealth, during the period of confinement due to the Covid-19 pandemic. A qualitative systematization of experience is used as a methodological approach. The information is produced through four focus groups and ten semi-structured interviews. An analysis of the thematic content is carried out. Four themes are established: 1) therapeutic link and Service-Learning through telehealth, 2) learning achieved through telehealth, 3) what is not easily learned through telehealth and 4) pedagogical practices to support learning in telehealth. This modality would be enhanced if there is adequate technology if care is frequent and if family caregivers are prepared to support the care processes.

The impact of parenting practices and family economy on psychological wellbeing and learning patterns in higher education students

Abstract Background There is a large literature on the significant impact of rearing factors in the psychological development of different child's learning patterns and wellbeing in elementary and secondary schools, but there is a scarcity of studies on to what extent those influences remain stable up to higher education. Objective In this study, parenting practices and family status were analyzed as predictors of the different learning styles, psychological difficulties, mental health factors, and academic performance, comprising the psychosocial diversity in learning (DinL) at the university classroom. Methods Using a cross-sectional design, a questionnaire was administered to a sample of 2522 students at the Complutense University of Madrid (Spain). It included a DinL scale measuring five psychological learning dimensions (coping with difficulties, effort, autonomy, Social/Physical Context, and understanding/career interest), plus several items on retrospective parenting practices, family, and sociodemographic variables. Multiple regressions and analyses of variance were conducted with the family factors as independent variables and the learning factors as dependent variables. Results Results showed parenting variables, parents' education, and family economy as having a significant impact on psychological learning dimensions, academic performance, and especially on the students' wellbeing and mental health status, being an important contributors to explain the DinL in the university classroom. Conclusion The results bring interesting conclusions for developmental and health psychologists when working with parents aimed at fostering wellbeing and learning strategies related to academic inclusion and achievement.

Quem pode atuar com acupuntura no Brasil? / Who can work with acupuncture in Brazil?

Resumo A acupuntura é ofertada no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), mas seu exercício é disputado juridicamente. Este estudo analisa os aspectos desse exercício por diferentes profissionais da área da saúde. Realizou-se uma análise de literatura científica e institucional (brasileira e internacional), cuja seleção foi intencionalmente orientada. Os resultados abordam aspectos da disputa sobre o exercício da acupuntura; o ensino da acupuntura e suas normativas; e a operacionalização dos registros do exercício da acupuntura no SUS. A ausência de regras unificadas desse exercício gerou regramento infralegal de instituições governamentais e corporações profissionais no Brasil, admitindo a prática multiprofissional, em conformidade com a Organização Mundial de Saúde .

Abstract Acupuncture is offered in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS), but its practice is matter of legal disputes. This study analyzes aspects of this practice by different professionals of the field of health. An analysis of scientific and institutional literature (Brazilian and international), whose selection was intentionally guided, was carried out. The results address aspects of the dispute over the practice of acupuncture; the teaching of acupuncture and its regulations; and the operationalization of records of acupuncture practice in the SUS. The absence of unified rules for this exercise generated infra-legal regulation of governmental institutions and professional corporations in Brazil, admitting multidisciplinary practice, in accordance with the guidelines of the World Health Organization.

Itinerários terapêuticos para cuidados em saúde bucal de adultos quilombolas de um distrito rural da Bahia, Brasil / Therapeutic itineraries of quilombola adults for oral health care in a rural district of Bahia, Brazil

Resumo O estudo analisou os itinerários terapêuticos relacionados à saúde bucal de adultos quilombolas de um distrito rural de Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, na qual foram realizadas dez entrevistas semiestruturadas com adultos quilombolas em maio de 2021, transcritas e analisadas por meio da análise de conteúdo. Os resultados evidenciaram ausência e/ou precariedade na higiene bucal em alguma fase da vida, especialmente infância e adolescência; utilização de práticas populares para cuidado a saúde bucal e experiências de cuidado profissional marcados pela exodontia. A utilização de serviços de saúde foi relatada, em sua maioria, apenas no período anterior à pandemia de COVID-19, os entrevistados divergiram quanto à percepção de facilidade do acesso aos serviços de saúde em sua comunidade. Os relatos sobre a satisfação da saúde bucal destacaram a necessidade de uso ou substituição de próteses dentárias. À guisa de conclusão, entende-se que é necessária a promoção de saúde bucal de forma articulada com ações que possibilitem a prevenção de agravos, a reabilitação odontológica e a valorização do conhecimento e da visão de mundo da população quilombola.

Abstract This study examined the oral health-related therapeutic itineraries of quilombola adults in a rural district of Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. This qualitative study involved ten semi-structured interviews of adult members of the quilombola community, in May 2021, which were then transcribed and analysed using content analysis. The results showed little or poor oral hygiene at some stage of life, especially in childhood and adolescence, the use of popular oral health care practices, and experiences of professional care featuring tooth extraction. Use of health services was mostly reported only in the period prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Responses as to perceived ease of access to health services in the community varied. One common complaint as to satisfaction with oral health was the need to use or replace dental prostheses. This study concluded that oral health must be promoted jointly with disease prevention, dental rehabilitation and recognition for the knowledge and worldview of the quilombola population.

Insegurança alimentar, saúde e produção da vida: uma aproximação às práticas alimentares de mulheres de camadas populares à luz da antropologia da alimentação / Food insecurity, health, and life production: an approach to the food practices among low-income women in light of the anthropology of food

Resumo A alimentação, além de imperativo biológico para sobrevivência e saúde humana, é revestida de significados culturais que determinam suas múltiplas expressões na sociedade. Os campos da alimentação, da nutrição, da saúde e da antropologia se interseccionam na discussão sobre práticas alimentares. Este ensaio teórico do tipo reflexivo tem como objetivo refletir sobre a relevância das práticas alimentares das mulheres de camadas populares para possível superação da insegurança alimentar e nutricional, examinando as relações estabelecidas com a comida no contexto da cozinha, de seus corpos e do acesso aos alimentos. O percurso metodológico consiste no estudo reflexivo de caráter exploratório, que recorre a fontes bibliográficas e documentais para alicerçar as análises com base em uma leitura crítica da realidade. A herança patriarcal continua delegando à mulher o papel de cuidadora familiar, o que abarca a alimentação: desde a aquisição do alimento até o preparo e fornecimento das refeições. Propomos que as práticas alimentares dessas mulheres podem impulsionar potenciais mudanças, que serviriam como ferramentas para aplicação de políticas públicas. As reflexões oferecem subsídios para o planejamento de políticas que possam empoderá-las como sujeitos de ação e reflexão crítica, abrindo uma projeção de cenários possíveis para agenciar formas de superação das inseguranças alimentares.

Abstract Food, besides being a biological imperative for survival and human health, is coated with cultural meanings that determine its multiple expressions in society. The fields of food, nutrition, health, and anthropology intersect in the discussion about food practices. This theoretical and reflexive essay aims to reflect on the relevance of the food practices of low-income women for the possible overcoming of food and nutritional insecurity, examining the relationships established with food in the context of the kitchen, of their bodies, and of the access to food. The methodological path followed was the reflexive and exploratory study, which uses bibliographical and documental sources to support the analyses based on a critical reading of reality. The patriarchal heritage continues to assign women the role of family caretaker, which encompasses everything from acquiring food to its preparation and serving meals. We propose that the food practices of these women can drive potential changes, which would serve as tools for the application of public health policies. The reflections offer subsidies for planning of policies that can empower them as subjects of critical action and reflection, opening a projection of possible scenarios for the agency of ways to overcome food insecurity.

Las ausencias fueron la presentación del concepto de salud en el que se basó la GAFPB; vinculación con un profesional específico; temas relacionados con las poblaciones vulnerables. En conclusión, fue posible identificar la presencia de la concepción ampliada de la salud en el GAFPB al cuestionar el privilegio de la dimensión biológica y el carácter imponente y normativo de intervenir, acercándose al debate sobre el desarrollo humano y relativizando el enfoque en la cantidad de actividades físicas deben ser realizadas.

Práticas corporais e currículo: legitimação a partir da análise documental / Corporal practices and the curriculum: legitimization through document analysis / Prácticas corporales y currículo: legitimación basada en análisis documental

O estudo objetivou analisar o modo como os atos de currículo da Educação Física legitimam as práticas corporais no âmbito de 3 escolas de Ensino Médio de Simão Dias (SE) e as identidades projetadas. Para tanto, os respectivos projetos político-pedagógicos e planos de ensino do componente foram submetidos à análise de conteúdo. Notamos que as limitações dos espaços físicos condicionam a vivência de práticas corporais legitimadas na escola. Percebemos forte influência dos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais do Ensino Fundamental na organização do trabalho pedagógico e a vivência exaustiva dos esportes euro-estadunidenses. Fatores que parecem contribuir para a legitimação de determinadas práticas corporais em detrimento de outras tantas. O que também pode impactar nas identidades culturais e a forma com que os estudantes se relacionam com as diferentes manifestações.

The study aimed to analyze the way in which Physical Education curriculum acts legitimize bodily practices within 3 high schools in Simão Dias (SE) and the projected identities. To this end, the respective political-pedagogical projects and teaching plans for the component were subjected to content analysis. We note that the limitations of physical spaces condition the experience of legitimized bodily practices at school. We noticed a strong influence of the National Curricular Parameters for Elementary Education in the organization of pedagogical work and the exhaustive experience of Euro-American sports. Factors that seem to contribute to the legitimization of certain bodily practices to the detriment of many others. This can also impact cultural identities and the way students relate to different manifestations.

El estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la forma en que los actos curriculares de Educación Física legitiman las prácticas corporales en 3 escuelas secundarias de Simão Dias (SE) y las identidades proyectadas. Para ello, se sometieron a análisis de contenido los respectivos proyectos político- pedagógicos y planes docentes del componente. Observamos que las limitaciones de los espacios físicos condicionan la experiencia de prácticas corporales legitimadas en la escuela. Notamos una fuerte influencia de los Parámetros Curriculares Nacionales para la Educación Primaria en la organización del trabajo pedagógico y la experiencia exhaustiva del deporte euroamericano. Factores que parecen contribuir a la legitimación de determinadas prácticas corporales en detrimento de muchas otras. Esto también puede afectar las identidades culturales y la forma en que los estudiantes se relacionan con las diferentes manifestaciones.

Oral health knowledge, attitude and oral hygiene practices among adults in Rwanda

Introduction: oral diseases (OD), commonly dental caries and periodontitis are a major public health problem. Poor oral hygiene has been associated with OD, causing tooth loss, which leads to disability and compromised patients' oral health. In Rwanda, OD is among the leading causes of morbidity at the health center level. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and oral health practices among adult participants in Rwanda Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was done among participants attending public health facilities in Nyarugenge District, Rwanda. Participants were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using frequency distribution, percentage distribution, and bivariate and multivariate logistic regression at a 5% significant level. Results: among 426 participants who were interviewed, 39.44% (n=168) were 18-27 years old and the majority, 61.5% (n=262) were female. Poor oral health knowledge was found in 42% (n=179) of the participants, whilst 12.44% (n=53) showed poor oral health attitudes, and 67.37% (n=287) were found to have poor oral health practice. Participants with a high school level of education were more likely to have better oral health knowledge and the results were statistically significant aOR: 1.79, 95% CI 1.14; 2.82; p = 0.011 Conclusion: the findings of our study showed that almost half of the participants had poor oral health knowledge. Oral health attitude and oral hygiene practices were also lacking. There is a need to enhance oral health education in this community to improve their oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices.

Connaissance et attitude pratique des mères vis-à-vis de la vaccination de routine, étude comparative / Knowledge and practice attitude of mothers regarding routine immunization, comparative study

Introduction : La vaccination de routine est une stratégie clé dans la prévention des maladies évitables par la vaccination. L'objectif de l'étude est d'apprécier les connaissances, attitudes des mères vis-à-vis de la pratique de la vaccination en milieu rural et urbain. Méthodes : Il s'agit d'une étude transversale descriptive comparative qui a eu lieu dans deux aires de santé (urbaine et rurale) sur une période de trois (3) mois d'octobre à décembre 2022. Elle a concerné les mères ou gardiennes d'enfants venus pour la vaccination de routine. Résultats : La moyenne d'âge des femmes était de 28, 76±6,85 ans en milieu urbain et 26,51±7,37 ans en milieu rural. Environ72, 00% et 43,00% des femmes respectivement en milieu urbain et rural avaient donné une bonne définition de la vaccination. 88,00% des femmes en milieu urbain connaissaient au moins une maladie cible du PEV contre 55,00% en milieu rural. Le calendrier vaccinal n'était connu que par 31,00% des femmes en milieu urbain contre 12,00% en milieu rural. La majorité des femmes en milieu urbain (97,00%) et rural (67,00%) trouvaient nécessaire de rattraper un rendez-vous de vaccination manqué les séances prochaines. Elles jugeaient majoritairement d'envoyer les enfants au centre de santé en cas de manifestations post- vaccinale (urbain : 80,00%, rural : 53,00%). Conclusion : Une bonne connaissance et pratique de la vaccination permettrait ainsi de protéger les enfants contre les maladies évitables par la vaccination

Background: Routine immunization is a key strategy in the prevention of vaccine-preventable diseases. The objective of the study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of mothers regarding the practice of vaccination in rural and urban areas. Methods: This is a comparative descriptive cross-sectional study that took place in two health areas (urban and rural) over a period of three (3) months from October to December 2022. It involved mothers or guardians of children who came for routine vaccination. Results: The mean age of the women was 28.76±6.85 years in urban areas and 26.51±7.37 years in rural areas. About 72.00% and 43.00% of the women in urban and rural areas, respectively, had given a good definition of vaccination. 88.00% of women in urban areas knew at least one EPI target disease, compared to 55.00% in rural areas. Only 31.00% of women in urban areas knew the vaccination schedule, compared to 12.00% in urban areas. Majority of women in urban (97.00%) and rural (67.00%) areas found it necessary to make up for missed immunization appointments in next sessions. Majority of them considered it necessary to send their children to the health center in the event of postimmunization symptoms (urban: 80.00%, rural: 53.00%). Conclusion: A good knowledge and practice of vaccination would allow to protect children against vaccine preventable diseases

Hábitos de alimentación infantil y su relación con las prácticas y conocimientos nutricionales parentales

Objetivo: Evaluar la relación entre las prácticas parentales de alimentación, los conocimientos nutricionales de los padres y los hábitos de alimentación infantil reportados por padres de cuatro instituciones educativas del suroccidente de Colombia. Método: Estudio observacional con diseño transversal correlacional. Se analizaron los datos de 1.162 padres de niñas y niños matriculados en los grados de preescolar hasta tercero de primaria de cuatro instituciones educativas públicas, quienes contestaron cuestionarios de autoinforme. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos e inferenciales. Resultados: La dieta de las niñas y los niños se caracteriza por un consumo frecuente de alimentos ultraprocesados y un consumo de frutas y verduras menor de lo esperado. Se encontraron relaciones entre las prácticas parentales de alimentación responsivas y el consumo de alimentos saludables en los hijos, así como entre las prácticas autoritarias y permisivas con el consumo frecuente de alimentos ultraprocesados. El nivel de conocimiento nutricional de los padres no se relacionó con la dieta de las niñas y los niños; sin embargo, se encontró una relación entre las prácticas parentales responsivas, un bajo nivel de conocimientos nutricionales de los padres y una baja frecuencia de consumo de frutas y verduras en los hijos. Conclusión: La alimentación es un fenómeno complejo, e implica la interacción entre los factores individuales y contextuales; en esta medida, la promoción de hábitos saludables involucra un trabajo conjunto en los múltiples niveles de interacción. Se espera que los resultados de este estudio posibiliten la construcción de intervenciones interdisciplinares oportunas, en poblaciones de bajos y medios ingresos en el territorio observado.

Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between parental feeding practices, parental nutritional knowledge, and child feeding habits reported by parents in four educational institutions in southwestern Colombia. Method: Observational study with correlational cross-sectional design. Data were analysed from 1.162 parents of children enroled in grades from preschool to third grade from four public educational institutions. Parents answered self-report questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed. Results: The children's diet is characterised by frequent consumption of ultra-processed food and a lower consumption of fruits and vegetables. Relationships were found between responsive parenting practices and healthy food consumption in children, as well as between authoritarian and permissive practices with frequent consumption of ultra-processed foods. The level of nutritional knowledge of parents was not related to the children's diet; however, a relationship was found between responsive parenting practices, a low level of nutritional knowledge of parents, and a low frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption in children. Conclusion: Eating is a complex phenomenon and involves the interaction between individual and contextual factors. To this extent, the promotion of healthy habits involves joint work at multiple levels of interaction. The results of this study are expected to allow the construction of timely interdisciplinary interventions in low- and middle-income populations in the observed territory.

Associations between Sociodemographic and Behavioral Variables and Educational Practices on Mother-Child Dyads

The association between the sociodemographic variables of children with behavior problems and mothers with maternal depression is widely acknowledged in the literature. However, there is a lack of studies addressing the association of these variables with maternal parenting practices in typical samples, i.e., children without behavior problems and mothers without current depression indicators. The aim of this study was to identify associations between the sociodemographic variables of children and mothers with the mothers' parenting practices and children's behavioral indicators (resources and problems) in a sample of children without behavior problems and mothers without current depression indicators. This quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational study addressed 46 biological mothers (married or in a stable relationship) and their children. A sociodemographic questionnaire and validated instruments addressing child behavior, maternal mental health, and parenting practices were applied. Findings showed that the mothers did not present mental health problems (e.g., behavior problems or maternal depression), but a) they presented deficits of positive practices and an excess of negative practices, and the children displayed deficits in social skills and behavior problems; b) there was an association between positive practices and the children's social skills and between negative practices and children's behavior problems; c) the frequency of positive and negative practices was equivalent among boys and girls, and d) boys more frequently presented behavior problems while school-aged children more frequently presented social skills deficits. The results indicate that even non-clinical samples may present harmful parenting practices, excess negative practices, and deficits in positive practices. Hence, there is a need for timely interventions to prevent behavior problems among children and maternal depression arising from conflicting interactions in the parenthood sphere.

Las asociaciones de variables sociodemográficas de madres con depresión materna y de sus hijos con problemas comportamentales son ampliamente reconocidas en la literatura. Por otro lado, en muestras típicas existe un vacío de estudios que traten de las asociaciones de esas variables con las prácticas parentales maternas; o sea, en niños de corta edad sin problemas comportamentales y en madres sin indicadores de depresión actual. Considerando lo anterior, el objetivo de este estudio fue verificar las asociaciones entre las variables sociodemográficas de hijos y de las prácticas parentales de sus madres con los indicadores comportamentales de recursos y problemas de los hijos. Se utilizó una muestra de hijos sin problemas comporta-mentales y de madres sin indicadores de depresión actual. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo, transversal, descriptivo y correlacional. Participaron 46 madres biológicas que vivían con su pareja y sus hijos. Las participantes respondieron al cuestionario sobre variables sociodemográficas y a los instrumentos calibrados sobre comportamientos infantiles, salud mental materna y prácticas educativas. Se identificó que: (a) a pesar de no presentar problemas de salud mental (problemas de comportamiento y depresión materna), las madres evidenciaron un déficit de prácticas positivas y un exceso de prácticas negativas; a su vez, los hijos presentaron déficit de habilidades sociales y hubo quejas comportamentales; (b) se encontró asociación entre las prácticas positivas y las habilidades sociales; también se encontró asociación entre las prácticas negativas y las quejas comportamentales; (c) las prácticas positivas y negativas ocurrieron de manera equivalente entre niños y niñas; y (d) los niños tuvieron más quejas comportamentales; además, los hijos, en edad escolar, tuvieron más déficits de habilidades sociales. Los datos indican que inclusive en muestras no clínicas existen variables de riesgo en lo que se refiere a la parentalidad, a excesos de prácticas negativas y a déficits de prácticas positivas. Lo encontrado sugiere la necesidad de intervenir precozmente, para evitar el surgimiento de problemas de comportamiento infantil y también de la depresión materna, cuando esta proviene de interacciones de conflictos en el ambiente de la parentalidad.

Radios comunitarias, alternativas y populares en la provincia de san luis, argentina: condiciones, trayectorias y estrategias

Este trabajo busca indagar características y prácticas comunicacionales particulares de radios comunitarias, alternativas y populares (CAP) en la provincia de San Luis (Argentina) en el período 20102020, de acuerdo con la normativa vigente desde la sanción de la Ley 26.522. En San Luis se pueden reconocer tres radios CAP: La Bulla, Radio Masi y Radio Rebelde, todas ellas surgieron después de la sanción de la ley. La metodología es cualitativa e incluye consulta de registros, relevamientos previos, publicaciones académicas, entrevistas y conversaciones informales con miembros de los medios. Se propone analizar qué prácticas comunicacionales se despliegan a fin de construir sostenibilidad y en qué medida lo consiguen. También se incluye el estudio respecto a cómo relacionan con otros actores sociales relevantes como el Estado, en sus tres niveles, medios, organizaciones de la sociedad civil y la comunidad, en un sistema infocomunicacional caracterizado por la concentración y centralización. Las radios comunitarias de San Luis sintieron las repercusiones de los cambios de gestión a nivel nacional, y la parálisis en las políticas de comunicación de la provincia, pero aun así continúan al aire. Sin embargo, la falta de nuevas experiencias de comunicación comunitaria invitan a reflexionar sobre las condiciones sociopolíticas que contribuyen a perpetuar su marginalidad en el ecosistema de medios de la provincia.

This article aims to describe characteristics andcommunicational practices of community, alternative, and popular radio stations in San Luis Province, Argentina, between 2010 and 2020, considering the latest regulation in force: LSCA law 26.522, 2009. In San Luis, there are three radio stations that fall under the categories of community, alternative, and popular, according to the law: La Bulla, Masi Radio, and Radio Rebelde, all of them born after the law was sanctioned. The methodology is qualitative, and the analysis is based on empirical research that includes official registries, previous research, academic papers, interviews, and informal conversations with media members. The study analyzes the practices that these radio stations develop to build sustainability, and whether or not they achieve it. Their relationship to other socially relevant actors, such as the State in its three levels, other civil organizations, within a concentrated and centralized media system, is also considered, reflecting those characteristics from the province's political power configuration. Community radios in San Luis suffered the consequences of the national government changes and the paralysis in local communication policies, nevertheless, they are still operative. However, the lack of new community experiences requires further thoughts about how social and political conditions contribute to its marginal position in the communicational system of the province.

Ruta metodológica para prácticas interdisciplinarias integradas en Atención Primaria en Salud

Introducción: A formación interdisciplinar en el marco de la atención primaria en salud (APS) permite la apertura a nuevos conocimientos, un abordaje integral a realidades complejas en los territorios y la articulación entre actores. Esto posibilita mejores resultados tanto para las comunidades, en la resolución de sus necesidades y problemas, como para los profesionales que vinculan a su formación el concepto y práctica de la APS. Objetivo: Diseñar una ruta metodológica para la implementación de prácticas interdisciplinarias integradas con enfoque territorial, en el marco de la APS. Metodología: Es un proyecto de interacción social, cualitativo, basado en los postulados del paradigma crítico social y bajo las premisas de la educación popular y la acción participativa, cuyo proceso de desarrollo estuvo enmarcado en la construcción colectiva con estudiantes y docentes de las diferentes unidades académicas participantes, así como con líderes sociales, comunitarios, institucionales y políticos de los territorios vinculados. Por ello, la construcción de la ruta privilegia la participación de estos, de forma horizontal en cada uno de los momentos del proyecto: diagnóstico, sistematización y validación. Resultados: Se creó una ruta metodológica en cuatro fases: aprestamiento, planeación, ejecución y evaluación, cada una con diferentes momentos. Discusión: Pese a que no se encontraron otros referentes de rutas metodológicas de prácticas interdisciplinarias integradas, la discusión se centra en los conceptos de educación para la salud, APS e interdisciplinariedad y sus implicaciones, tanto para los procesos de formación como para el abordaje interdisciplinario de las necesidades en los territorios. Conclusiones: La cogestión de actores comunitarios, institucionales de los territorios y de la universidad son cruciales para desarrollar los propósitos de formación y aportar a la resolución de necesidades y problemas priorizados, en el marco de la APS, entendiendo la comunidad como un sujeto de acompañamiento mediante prácticas interdisciplinarias integradas y no como un objeto de intervención para lograr propósitos formativos.

Introduction: Interdisciplinary training within the framework of primary health care (PHC) allows the opening to new knowledge, a comprehensive approach to complex realities in the territories and the articulation among actors. This enables better results both for the communities in the resolution of their needs and problems and for the professionals who link the concept and practice of PHC to their training. Objective: To design a methodological route for the implementation of integrated interdisciplinary practices with a territorial approach, within the PHC framework. Methodology: It is a social interaction project, qualitative, based on the postulates of the critical social paradigm and under the premises of popular education and participatory action, whose development process was framed in the collective construction with students and professors of the different participating academic units, as well as with social, community, institutional and political leaders of the linked territories. For this reason, the construction of the route privileges their participation horizontally in each of the moments of the project: diagnosis, systematization and validation. Results: a methodological route was created in 4 phases: preparation, planning, execution and evaluation, each with different moments. Discussion: Although no other references of methodological routes of integrated interdisciplinary practices were found, the discussion focuses on the concepts of health education, PHC and interdisciplinarity and their implications both for training processes and for the interdisciplinary approach to the needs in the territories. Conclusions: The co-management of community and institutional actors of the territories and the University are crucial to develop training purposes and contribute to the resolution of prioritized needs and problems within the framework of PHC; understanding the community as a subject of accompaniment through integrated interdisciplinary practices and not as an object of intervention to achieve training purposes.

Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre la enfermedad de Chagas en una zona endémica de Boyacá, Colombia

Introducción: Los instrumentos para la obtención de información sobre los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de diversas enfermedades son ampliamente utilizados, ya que permiten obtener información clara y detallada de cada uno de los aspectos a indagar. Objetivo: Determinar conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de la enfermedad de Chagas en una zona endémica de Boyacá, Colombia. Metodología: Estudio transversal que consistió en aplicar un instrumento validado que abordaba datos sociodemográficos, factores epidemiológicos, conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de la enfermedad de Chagas en un integrante mayor de edad de 341 familias de Miraflores, Boyacá. Se emplearon escalas, óptimo, bueno, regular y malo; para el análisis bivariado se determinó el nivel de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas con escala favorable y desfavorable. Se determinaron diferencias significativas de factores de riesgo, conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de la enfermedad entre el grupo de hombres y mujeres encuestados. Resultados: El 68,6 % de la población nació en Miraflores, con un 48 % de escolaridad primaria y pertenecientes a la zona rural en su mayoría (57,2 %); en las mujeres predomina la ocupación de ama de casa, mientras que en los hombres es más frecuente la agricultura. Se identificaron conocimientos (48,1 %) y actitudes (82,1 %) óptimas sobre la enfermedad de Chagas que minimizan el riesgo de contraer la infección por T. cruzi; paradójicamente, se encontraron malas prácticas (61,9 %) en el hogar que no previenen la enfermedad. Se observó relación entre el nivel de escolaridad bajo, sexo femenino, ser menor de 49 años, vivir en zona urbana y actividades del hogar y un conocimiento favorable acerca de la enfermedad de Chagas, aunque sin evidencia estadística. Conclusiones: Se hace necesario incorporar programas que garanticen el aprendizaje y la implementación de actitudes y prácticas favorables contra la enfermedad en habitantes de zonas endémicas.

Introduction: The use of measurement tools to obtain information about knowledge, attitudes and practices of various diseases are widely used, since they allow to collect clear and detailed information of every aspect needing examination. Objective: Determine knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding Chagas disease in an endemic zone in Boyaca, Colombia. Methods: Cross-sectional study that consisted of applying a validated instrument that addressed sociodemographic data, epidemiological factors, knowledge, attitudes and practices of the Chagas disease in an adult member of 341 families from Miraflores, Boyaca. The scale categories used were optimal, good, regular and bad; for the bivariate analysis, the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices was determined with a favorable and unfavorable scale. Significant differences in risk factors, knowledge, attitudes and practices of the disease were determined between the group of men and women surveyed. Results: Sixty-eight percent of the population were born in Miraflores, 48% had primary education and most belonged to the rural area (57.2%); in women the occupation of housewife predominated, in men agriculture was more frequent. Optimal knowledge (48.1%) and attitudes (82.1%) about the Chagas disease that minimize the risk of contracting T. cruzi infection were identified. Paradoxically, bad practices that did not prevent the disease were found at home (61,9%). significant regarding the low level of schooling, female gender, being under 49 years of age, living in an urban area and household activities, all of the above allows a favorable knowledge about Chagas disease, although without statistical evidence. Conclusion: It is necessary to incorporate programs that guarantee learning and implementation of favorable attitudes and practices against the disease in inhabitants of endemic areas.
