ResumoO objetivo do presente estudo foi interpretar reflexões de grupos da população, por faixa etária, sobre risco de adoecer pelas doenças crônicas não transmissíveis (DCNT), como parte do eixo qualitativo do projeto Vigitel que monitora a prevalência de fatores de risco para DCNT no Brasil. Procedimentos metodológicos: a coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de grupos focais da amostra de Belo Horizonte, MG, de 2008, considerando que não existe, em estudos desse tipo, a necessidade de validação por amostragem abrangente. O interesse é aprofundar determinado assunto que poderá ser comparado, posteriormente, a outros estudos. Resultados: mostraram que jovens conhecem os riscos para DCNT, mas consideram que viver sem arriscar-se é impossível. Sujeitos de 31 a 50 anos estão informados e conscientizados, mas querem continuar vivendo sem preocupação com a saúde, negociando, consigo mesmos, medidas pessoais de risco. Pessoas acima de 51 anos consideram riscos para DCNT inerentes à condição humana, porém maiores, devido a uma vida "desregrada", e têm medo, buscando se cuidar centrados na assistência médica. Conclusões: as reflexões dos grupos apontam representações centradas na impossibilidade de se considerar a saúde em primeiro plano e constantemente, na vida cotidiana. Existe desejo de viver prazeres e satisfações, que, muitas vezes, não são coerentes com a determinação de ser saudável. Além disso, há a necessidade humana de transgressões para se sentir vivo e mais forte que a morte. Abordagens interdisciplinares que relativizem o peso dessas representações para a incorporação de modos de vida saudáveis, coletiva e autonomamente, são fundamentais.

Erika de Azevedo Leitão Mássimo AbstractThe aim of this study was to interpret reflexions of population groups divided by age on the risk of suffering from Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases (CNCDs) as part of the VIGITEL project qualitative axis, that monitors the prevalence of risk factors for CNCDs in Brazil. Methodological Procedures: Data collection was conducted through focus groups sampled at Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, in 2008, considering that there is not, in similar studies, the need for validation by comprehensive sample. The interest is to deepen this subject so that it will be possible to compare it to other studies afterwards. Results: Results showed that young people know the risks of CNCDs, but consider that living without taking risks is impossible. People from 31 to 50 years old are informed and become aware, but want to continue living without health concerns, negotiating with themselves their personal measures of risk. People above 51 years consider the risks of CNCDs inherent to the human condition, but they may grow larger due to an 'unruly' life; they are afraid and try to care for themselves searching for health care. Conclusions: The reflexions of the groups show representations that highlight the impossibility of placing health constantly in the fo...
This article aims to develop a reflective theoretical study with an emphasis on the actions, challenges and recommendations of practices for the prevention, control and monitoring of PHC disease. The COVID-19 pandemic has been demanding a remodeling of structures, not only in hospital care, but, especially in interventions in communities and their social, urban and structural problems. The article highlights the work process and new technical and dynamic incorporations for prevention, surveillance and monitoring imposed by SARS-CoV2 on primary health care, which must also guarantee access to essential care. As it allows thinking about the most feasible forms of action, this article recognizes the principles of action in the health system, offering to managers and health professionals, through the interlocution between related studies, several measures that can help in assistance of pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic changed the course of some health policies in the world. Patient-centered care requires a change in perspective towards a concept of community-centered care. As the primary health care is the first level of contact for individuals, family and community in a health system, constituting the preferred gateway to the care process, it is expected that the reflections raised by this article will contribute to an analysis that answers the main public health issues from the perspective of primary health care, preserving its stability, avoiding the disintegration of its actions and maintaining its functionality with the strengthening of local and community actions.
