The purpose of this study was to reflect theoretically on the theme of health education and how it interfaces with health promotion. It consists of a theoretical-reflexive study aimed at comparing these practices to the concepts elaborated in the Letter of Ottawa, the pedagogy of liberation of Paulo Freire, empowerment and culture, here comprehended as key elements guiding the activity of the nurse in health education in actions performed by health services. In order to take this reflexive path, the authors analyzed the interrelationships of these theoretical interfaces and their approaches to health promotion practices. From this presented theoretical framework, it is possible to reflect on the possibilities of extending care, based on the premise that all moments comprising interaction with patients of health services must be considered an opportunity to develop health education actions, considering the knowledge of nurses characterized as social actors who are responsible for the events that take place in the health scenario.

Objective: to investigate the association between resilience and sociodemographic variables and the health of people with chronic kidney disease and / or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method: a cross-sectional observational study performed with 603 people with chronic kidney disease and / or type 2 diabetes mellitus. A tool to collect socio-demographic and health data and the Resilience Scale developed by Connor and Davidson were applied. A descriptive and multivariate analysis was performed. Results: the study participants had on average 61 years old (SD= 13.2), with a stable union (52.24%), religion (96.7%), retired (49.09%), with primary education (65%) and income up to three minimum wages. Participants with kidney disease showed less resilience than people with diabetes. Conclusion: the type of chronic illness, disease duration, body mass index and religious beliefs influenced the resilience of the study participants.

Objective: to reflect on the diligence of three studies that followed the convention of Convergent Care Research (Pesquisa Convergente Assistencial -PCA) as a methodological reference.Results: convergent Care Research is characterized by conducting improvements through introducing innovations in the context of nursing and health care practice. It is guided by its own attributes: immersibility; simultaneity; expandability and dialoging. Three studies using the Convergent Care Research method were analyzed: Study A consisted of constructing an informative material (booklet) as a technology to be developed based on the participants' knowledge and experiences regarding the computed Tomograpy scan; Study B proposed to develop educational practices with a group of female garbage/recyclable material collectors to alleviate their workload and thus prevent occupational accidents; Study C developed an education proposal for training nurses who work in palliative care by constructing an instrument regarding pain assessment in cancer patients. Conclusion: all three studies showed that the Convergent Care Research method allows for the convergence between care actions and research actions in order to create superposition spaces of these two activities, with the production of new knowledge and changes in care practice. This method allows both research and care practice to be developed in the same physical and temporal space, and therefore they need to be disarticulated by conducting a specific analysis for each one. Resultados: la Investigación Convergente Asistencial se caracteriza por la realización de mejoras con introducción de innovaciones en el contexto de la práctica asistencial de enfermería y salud. Es orientada por sus propios atributos: inmersibilidad; simultaneidad; expansibilidad y diálogo. Se analizaron tres investigaciones que utilizaron el método de la Investigación Convergente Asistencial. El estudio A consistió en la construcción de material informativo (cartilla) como tecnología a ser desarrollada con base en los saberes y experiencias de los participantes en relación al examen de Tomografía computarizada. El estudio B se propuso desarrollar prácticas educativas con un grupo de mujeres recolectoras de basura para aliviar las cargas de trabajo y, de este modo, evitar accidentes de trabajo. El estudio C desarrolló una propuesta de educación en el trabajo con enfermeras que actúan en cuidados paliativos con la construcción de un instrumento sobre la evaluación del dolor en pacientes con cáncer. DESCRIPTORS:Conclusión: los tres estudios mostraron que el método de la Investigación Convergente Asistencial posibilita una convergencia entre acciones de asistencia y acciones de investigación para crear espacios de superposición de esas dos actividades, con la producción de un nuevo conocimiento y el cambio de la práctica asistencial. Este método permite que tanto la investigación como la práctica asistencial, puedan ser desarrolladas en el mismo espacio físico y temporal y, para ello, necesitan ser desarticu...

Estudo qualitativo que objetivou conhecer a experiência de realizar o tratamento para tuberculose. Utilizou-se como referencial metodológico a Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados. Os dados foram coletados através de entrevistas com cinco grupos amostrais, totalizando 26 pessoas. A codificação e a análise dos dados permitiram identificar duas categorias: Fazendo o tratamento e Abandonando o tratamento. Fazer o tratamento inclui: tomar os medicamentos; ir às consultas; fazer exames; ficar afastado do trabalho; fazer alimentação consistente; fazer repouso. Os fatores relacionados ao abandono do tratamento da tuberculose são complexos e não estão relacionados somente aos efeitos colaterais da medicação, uso de álcool e drogas. Ter a renda comprometida, não conseguir ficar na perícia e não conseguir ficar internado são situações que podem contribuir para o abandono. A obtenção do sucesso do tratamento vai além da eficácia farmacológica, existindo dificuldades relacionadas à pessoa com tuberculose, ao tratamento empregado e ao tipo de atenção recebida.
