ABSTRACT
RESUMO Este estudo objetivou compreender a experiência do curso de Especialização em Educação Popular em Saúde na Promoção de Territórios Saudáveis e Sustentáveis da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), sob a ótica dos educandos. Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa por meio de entrevistas semiestrutu-radas feitas com estudantes do curso (n = 20). Os dados foram interpretados pela análise de conteúdo temática de Bardin. Os resultados compuseram três categorias temáticas: a Pedagogia da Formação, que apresenta a compreensão das estratégias formativas e metodológicas do curso; a Pedagogia do Encontro, que traz as potências que se fizeram no encontro entre as diversidades; a Pedagogia do Movimento, que levanta as implicações do curso para a transformação pessoal e profissional dos participantes. A formação apresentou-se como um potente instrumento de transformação de perspectivas e de práticas, em que o encontro atuou como via de articulação política e de cuidado à saúde.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to understand the experience of the Specialization course in Popular Health Education in the Promotion of Healthy and Sustainable Territories at Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), from the student's perspective. A qualitative research was carried out through semi-structured interviews with students from the course (n = 20). Data were interpreted by Bardin's thematic content analysis. The results comprised three thematic categories: the Pedagogy of Training, which presents the understanding of the training and methodological strategies of the course; the Pedagogy of the Encounter, which brings the powers that have been made in the encounter between diversity; the Pedagogy of Movement, which raises the implications of the course for the personal and professional transformation of the participants. Training presented itself as a powerful instrument for transforming perspectives and practices, in which the meeting acted as a means of political articulation and health care.
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Health education is a relevant strategy to prevent alcohol and other drugs addiction. The objective of this study is to analyze health education strategies used to prevent drug abuse and addiction in rural areas. METHODS: This study is an integrative review. The study included articles indexed in Virtual Health Library, Periodicals Portal bases from CAPES, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses, PubMed, and SciELO. Relationships between health education strategies and art were sought, without obtaining satisfactory results. RESULTS: The selection of studies obtained 1173 articles. After exclusion, 21 publications were included in the sample. The predominant country of origin of articles was the USA, with 14 references. The lack of Latin American articles is highlighted. Overall, among the interventions carried out with a focus on preventing addiction to alcohol and other drugs, those that considered the specific cultural context of the studied community were relevant. Strategies adapted to the rural context must be built according to local values, beliefs, and practices. Motivational Interviewing proved to be an effective intervention for alcohol addiction harm reduction strategies. DISCUSSION: The frequency of harmful use of alcohol and other drugs in the rural population highlights the need to implement public policies focused on local communities. It is essential to adopt actions focused on health promotion. There is a need for further studies on health education strategies, including their relationships with the arts, in the context of preventing drug abuse in the rural population, in order to enable more effective interventions.

Introduction: The incorporation of occupational health action in healthcare units is a major public health challenge. Objectives: This study aims to the perceptions of primary health care (PHC) physicians about occupational health. Methods: This is a qualitative exploratory-descriptive study was conducted in a municipality located in the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Data were collected through individual interviews using a semi-structured questionnaire, whose first part focused on participants' sociodemographic profile and to professional training, and the second one was specific about the researched theme. Research participants were physicians working in PHC. Professionals with an experience of less than 6 months and those absent during the data collection period due to vacation or sickness were excluded. Results: Ten physicians met inclusion and were therefore interviewed. The main results indicated that the interviewed participants agree that work is an important health condition. They also reported difficulties in taking measures to prevent and promote occupational health and lack of training on the theme. Conclusions: In general, physicians' perception about the theme is based on the implementation of measures mostly targeted at treating users' symptoms, rarely addressing aspects related to prevention or rehabilitation in daily practices. Training about occupational health is insufficient.
