This cross-sectional, descriptive, quantitative, and qualitative study aimed to investigate the contributions and challenges of physical education professionals working at the Center for Psychosocial Support (CPSS) in Recife, Brazil. The study population was composed of CPSS professionals and professionals from the Academia da Cidade Program (ACP) who worked at the CPSS. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire, which was administered to professionals from all 17 CPSS and from ACP centers in Recife during previously scheduled visits to these sites. The following variables were assessed: sociodemographic data, initial and ongoing training, and aspects regarding the level of integration between these two health care services. Data were stored and organized using the EpiData software, version 3.1, and then analyzed using SPSS, version 10.0. Results are presented in absolute and relative frequencies. We used content analysis to analyze the qualitative data. The study included 115 CPSS professionals and 24 ACP professionals. More than half of both respondent groups rated ACP participation in the CPSS as very important for users; however, the level of integration between these two services was rated as moderate or poor, and these results were reinforced in the analysis of the qualitative questions. We conclude that the participation of physical education professionals in the CPSS brings contributions related to users' benefits and teamwork at both services, but structural and work process issues were challenges that need to be overcome in order to allow a more qualified and integrated performance from these professionals.

The objective of this study was to describe the experience of the development of the upgrading course in strategic actions for professionals in the Academia das Cidades e Saúde Programs, conducted by the School of Government in Public Health, together with the technical team of the Programs at the State Health Secretariat and the Secretariat for Urban Development and Housing, both from Pernambuco. For this, the experience report format was used. The course was developed through distance learning, in three stages: planning, development and evaluation. The minutes of meetings, tutors’ reports, online course monitoring files and students’ evaluations were used to describe the experience. The course was offered in 2019, in the state’s first health macro-region. Of the 156 professionals enrolled in the course, and who worked in the Programs, 100 concluded it, and positively evaluated the course, mainly in terms of changes in their work practices.
The aim of this study was to describe the knowledge and attitude of professionals in the Academia da Cidade Program (ACP) in relation to social control. A cross-sectional, descriptive study with a quantitative and qualitative approach was carried out, using a self-administered questionnaire. The data were tabulated using the EpiData Entry v program. 3.1. For the analysis of the quantitative data, SPSS software version 10.0 was used, results were presented in relative and absolute frequencies. For qualitative analysis, the Content Analysis proposed by Bardin was used. 104 professionals participated, who understand social control with "Participation of users, workers and managers in the planning, formulation, evaluation and inspection of health actions, plans, projects and programs". The majority (61.5%) participated in health conferences, considered this participation as very important (62.5%). Moreover, the great majority (81.7%) encouraged users to participate in social control spaces, as well as, valued and reflected (93.3%) on the demands indicated by them. However, more than 90.0% did not participate in health councils and territorial meetings. As a result, it was found that the majority of ACP professionals know social control according to the theoretical framework of the Unified Health System. As for the attitude, they participated in conferences, encouraged users to be participative and valued the claims brought by their routine work in the Program. However, they did not participate in the health councils and the social control spaces within their territory. It is suggested that these findings guide educational and training actions at the municipal and state levels.
