A B S T R A C T ObjectiveEstimate the intake of phenolic compounds by the Brazilian population. MethodsTo estimate the average per capita food consumption, micro data from the National Dietary Survey and from the Household Budget Survey from 2008 to 2009 was analyzed. The phenolic content in food was estimated from the base of Phenol-Explorer. It was chosen according to compatibility and variety of food items and usual method of preparation. ResultsThe Brazilian population consumed, on average, 460.15 mg/day of total phenolic compounds, derived mainly from beverages (48.9%), especially coffee and legumes (19.5%). Since this analysis of classes of phenolics it was possible to observe an intake of 314 mg/day of phenolic acids, 138.92 mg/day of flavonoids and 7.16 mg/ day of other kinds of phenolics. Regarding the variables studied this present study shows that those men who live in the countryside and in the northeastern region of the country had a higher consumption of phenolic compounds. Besides, consumption was higher by adults and the elderly, the medium income classes, the population with incomplete and complete primary education and those with adequate nutrition and also overweight status. ConclusionThe intake of phenolic compounds can be considered low, especially where consumption of fruit and vegetables is insufficient. We can conclude that coffee and black beans were the best contributors to phenolic intake.

Introduction:The study of dietary antioxidants has gained prominence owing to the elucidation of the deleterious effects of oxidative stress to the human body. Objective: To evaluate the Brazilian population's intake of antioxidant nutrients and their association with the nutritional status. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out including secondary data on food consumption of 33,459 individuals from both sexes, aged 10 years or older, from all Brazilian regions based on microdata of the "2008-2009 Household Budget Survey, Brazilian Dairy Survey." The content of vitamins E, A, and C; zinc; manganese; copper; and selenium from 188 food items, divided into 12 groups, according to the habitual consumption form was analyzed. The means of antioxidant nutrient intake according to the nutritional status were compared using Bonferroni's t-test. Results: Higher percentages of insufficient intake of vitamins than antioxidant minerals were seen. A significant difference in the intake of vitamin E as to the nutritional status was noticed, wherein the intake in overweight individuals was lower than in those with proper weight. Participants with low weight presented lower intake of almost all antioxidant minerals, except for copper, in which the intake of participants with low weight was equal to those with normal weight. Conclusion: High percentages of insufficient intake of antioxidant nutrients were observed in the studied population, especially vitamins. It was also found that the intake of antioxidant nutrients varied based on nutritional status, gender, and life stage.

Resumo: As práticas Integrativas e complementares têm se incorporado ao sistema de saúde de maneira significativa, na assistência a saúde dos pacientes, especialmente na área da oncologia. O câncer é uma doença devastadora que impacta de maneira negativa na vida do paciente, família e equipe. A utilização das Praticas Integrativas e Complementares (PIC’s) são uma alternativa que complementam os tratamentos convencionais na melhora da qualidade de vida e no cuidado a dimensão espiritual do ser humano.   Objetivo: Relatar a experiência de implantação das Terapias Integrativas e Complementares através do Projeto de Extensão Luzes.Métodos: as atividades realizadas são Reiki, Auriculoterapia, massagem laboral, meditação, grupo de oração, música e canto, Bio Energetics Medicine, Contação de histórias, confecção de origamis, avaliação da saúde bucal, construção de Mandalas e pinturas. As PIC’s são desenvolvidas por um grupo de 136 voluntários dentre docentes, discentes e profissionais de diferentes áreas e da comunidade em geral. Desde sua implantação em Agosto de 2018 já atendeu mais de 1700 pessoas. É desenvolvido dentro do Hospital Regional do Oeste de Chapeco SC nos setores de Oncologia, Quimioterapia e Radioterapia.  Resultados: as terapias integrativas e complementares são reconhecidas como benéficas pelos pacientes, familiares e profissionais. Consideradas aliadas na melhora da qualidade de vida durante o período de internação e tratamento. Também citada como uma maneira diferenciada de assistência a dimensão espiritual porque propicia a formação de vinculos mais empáticos entre profissionais, pacientes e família. Observa-se também uma maior qualificação no processo de formação profissional dos acadêmicos dos cursos de Enfermagem e Medicina da UFFS.Conclusões: A utilização das praticas integrativas e complementares no ambiente hospitalar foram sem sombra de dúvidas um desafio. Devemos reconhecer que valeu o desafio de implantar as Terapias Integrativas e Complementares que aliadas ao tratamento convencional trouxeram benefícios impares a tríade paciente, família e profissional. Um espaço de pratica das PIC’s possibilita a formação de recursos humanos voltados ao SUS, com uma visão ampliada ao processo saúde-doença e mais competentes e comprometidos com a saúde integral do ser humano.
