RESUMO As identidades de gênero e as orientações sexuais têm impacto sobre as vivências das pessoas em situação de rua, sendo importante motivo na quebra de vínculo familiar e ida para a rua, no caso, Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais, Travestis e Transexuais (LGBT). LGBT em situação de rua têm sua relação com o serviço de saúde comprometida e apresentam os piores indicadores de saúde quando comparados com os heterossexuais. O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender as implicações das identidades de gênero nas relações sociais e saúde de LGBT em situação de rua de Florianópolis (SC). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada entre os meses de novembro de 2017 e fevereiro de 2018, com LGBT em situação de rua, no centro de Florianópolis (SC). Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais semiestruturadas para coleta de dados. Os principais motivos de ida para a rua foram os conflitos familiares e a opção pessoal. A rua foi apresentada como um espaço de intensa discriminação e violência contra LGBT, com aspectos interseccionais relacionados com a raça, amenizadas por estratégias de ‘desvio de foco’. Devido às experiências discriminatórias com profissionais de saúde, o cuidado de saúde é feito pelas próprias pessoas em situação de rua.

Este artigo analisa os efeitos das relações de gênero nas trajetórias sociais de moradores de rua que se identificam como lésbicas e gays no município de Florianópolis/SC. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida em janeiro e fevereiro de 2016, com postura construcionista social. Realizaram-se entrevistas individuais e registros da observação participante com pessoas LGBT moradoras de rua. Os conflitos e violências familiares oriundos das fobias de gênero, balizadas pela heteronormatividade, apresentaram-se como principal estopim da ida de lésbicas e gays para a rua, todavia, aspectos socioeconômicos pregressos aparecem enquanto fatores determinantes para que a rua fosse o caminho escolhido. Apesar das violências constantes na rua, que extrapolam as fobias de gênero, as narrativas apontaram que o espaço atual se configura como um lugar melhor para seguirem suas vidas, quando comparado com os cenários anteriores.

As equipes multiprofissionais foram adotadas na Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF), justamente para que este modelo de atenção permita a articulação entre saberes na prática da assistência à saúde. OBJETIVO: Investigar a percepção dos médicos, enfermeiras e odontólogos sobre o funcionamento de equipes multiprofissionais na Saúde da Família do município de Coari (AM). MÉTODOS: Pesquisa qualitativa, com roteiro semiestruturado, aplicado em entrevistas individuais a todos os profissionais da atenção primária do município, comparadas a entrevistas com fisioterapeutas e psicólogos de serviço secundário, analisadas à luz da hermenêutica dialética. RESULTADOS: Com exceção do discurso dos psicólogos, a percepção dos médicos e demais profissionais de Saúde da Família demonstra a fragilidade na construção do projeto de intervenção conjunta, necessário principalmente à ESF, apresentando a perspectiva de que o trabalho multiprofissional se dá apenas em teoria e não na lógica que rege o processo de trabalho.

Introduction: The challenges brought by the continuity of the university teaching-learning process in the face of the measures to combat the pandemic of COVID-19 made the debate on the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in medical education more important. Several strategies were used by teachers worldwide to continue their teaching activities. Objective: to investigate the strategies and uses of ICT in medical education in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Five databases were systematically assessed, using the terms “COVID-19”, “medical education”, “higher education” and “students”, in Portuguese, English and Spanish, resulting in 321 initial citations, with 18 final references after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Result: Four key topics were identified in the literature: (1) Challenges for Medical Education prior to COVID-19; (2) Challenges in migrating to remote education; (3) Strategies to overcome challenges related to the learning environment; and (4) Strategies to overcome challenges related to assessments and exams. Conclusion: The use of ICT in medical education in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic showed to be especially important, with considerations regarding the improvement in areas that were already used, the migration of some more articulated areas and experiences in clinical and procedural disciplines. There was also concern about the impacts of using ICT to replace the in-person presence of students in medical learning environments.

Objective: to analyze the contributions of a specialization course in qualifying nurses for the prevention and care of individuals with overweight and obesity. Method: an evaluative research employing a mixed-methods approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, conducted with 289 nurses enrolled in a distance specialization course focusing on the care of individuals with overweight and obesity. Pre-course (2021) and post-course (2022) questionnaires were administered to assess the outcomes of the training regarding knowledge, practices, and perceptions related to the topic, with results being compared between the two time points. The statistical Mann-Whitney test was applied to compare the means. For qualitative data analysis, content analysis was employed. Results: the majority of participants were female, aged between 30 and 39 years, working in Primary Health Care (PHC), and with a status of statutory civil servants. When comparing the means obtained pre and post-course, the majority showed a statistically significant increase, indicating enhanced knowledge regarding the topic, improved qualification in food and nutritional surveillance practices, individual and collective approach, intersectoral interventions, and implementation of the care pathway. There was an improvement in the perception regarding the adequacy of both individual and team fitness in the care, prevention, and control of overweight and obesity. Conclusion: the specialization course contributed to enhancing nurses' performance in the care of individuals with overweight in primary care settings. There was an acquisition of knowledge, sensitization, and broadening of perspectives regarding disease management. The nurses were equipped with the necessary tools for food and nutritional surveillance practice, utilization of health information systems, and implementation of individual, collective, and intersectoral activities.
