O objetivo deste artigo foi apresentar a metodologia, resultados descritivos preliminares e a confiabilidade dos instrumentos utilizados no Projeto COMQUISTA. Estudo transversal com indivíduos adultos (>18 anos) e crianças (até cinco anos) de comunidades quilombolas de Vitória da Conquista, Bahia. A coleta de dados compreendeu a realização de entrevistas individuais e domiciliares, aferição de medidas antropométricas e pressão arterial. Utilizou-se o questionário semiestruturado da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde (PNS), adaptado para a população quilombola, e as entrevistas foram realizadas em computadores portáteis. Foram visitados 397 domicílios e entrevistados 797 adultos e 130 crianças. O perfil demográfico dos quilombolas foi semelhante ao dos brasileiros quanto ao sexo e idade, porém, eles apresentaram precário acesso ao saneamento básico e baixo nível socioeconômico. A análise de confiabilidade demonstrou a adequação das estratégias adotadas para garantia e controle de qualidade no estudo. A metodologia empregada foi considerada adequada para o alcance dos objetivos e pode ser utilizada em outras populações. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade da implantação de estratégias para melhorar a qualidade de vida e reduzir o grau de vulnerabilidade dos quilombolas.

A saúde da população carcerária tem-se constituído em um grande desafio, devidos aos fatores de risco relacionado à dinâmica e ao ambiente carcerário. Principalmente no que tange a população feminina confinada, que aumentou em 37,47% nos últimos anos. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo traçar o perfil epidemiológico da população carcerária feminina do presídio de Vitória da Conquista -BA. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo onde foram entrevistadas 21 presas de outubro a novembro de 2010.

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão crítica sobre a interdisciplinaridade, construção do conhecimento para a produção de saber ambiental complexo que responda aos desafios da problemática ambiental atual. Compreende-se assim, que a interdisciplinaridade deve transcender o somatório de disciplinas para unificar um conhecimento novo gerado no contexto epistemológico de formação e inter-relação do saber. Desta maneira, este texto aborda a interdisciplinaridade como promotora de diálogos de saberes e práticas, baseada em princípios teóricos e metodológicos com a finalidade de reintegrar saberes e reconstituir um conhecimento totalizado na perspectiva científica. Neste sentido, entende-se que os problemas ambientais no campo das relações sociedade-natureza devem adotar um processo complexo de produção de possibilidades.
Introduction Occupational stress is considered as the negative imbalance between work demands and resources, and it can generate consequences to an individual’s health and interfere with his or her quality of life. Objectives To investigate stress and its associated factors among employees of a higher education institution through a cross-sectional study (at the baseline of a longitudinal study) including 176 individuals aged 18 years or older. Sociodemographic characteristics related to physical surroundings, lifestyle, working conditions, and health and illness were tested as explanatory variables. Methods Stress was estimated using prevalence rate, prevalence ratio (PR), and a 95% confidence interval. For a multivariate analysis, we employed a Poisson regression model with robust variance, where a p-value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant. Results The prevalence of stress was 22.7% (16.48-28.98). This study noticed that depressive individuals, professors, and those who self-assessed their health as poor or very poor had a positive association with stress within the studied population. Conclusions Studies of this type are important for identifying characteristics in this population that could contribute to the planning of public policies in order to improve the quality of life of employees of public institutions.
