<p>Objetivo: desvelar as representações sociais de profissionais de saúde da atenção básica sobre o acolhimento à pessoa com o vírus da imunodeficiência humana. Método: trata-se de um estudo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa, embasado na Teoria das Representações Sociais. Participaram da pesquisa 39 profissionais de saúde da rede de atenção básica, no período de outubro e novembro de 2016, respondendo a um questionário. Os dados foram processados pelos softwares EVOC e IRAMUTEQ. Resultados: o termo mais evocado foi “esclarecimento” e retrata que a prática do aconselhamento requer preparação de maneira adequada e qualificada ou aponta que o profissional é o detentor do saber. Conclusão: as representações sociais de profissionais de saúde da atenção básica revelam-se como normativas e hegemônicas, objetivando-se no esclarecimento e na prevenção. Demarcam, possivelmente no cotidiano das ações de aconselhamento/acolhimento, o lugar que os profissionais de saúde ocupam.</p><p>Descritores: Acolhimento. Aconselhamento. Profissional de Saúde. HIV.

Goal:To analyze the number of hospital admissions due to diarrheal diseases and infectious gastroenteritis of presumptive origin in children and to verify their relationship with socioeconomic and basic sanitation indicators. Method: Ecological, space-time study, based on secondary data. The population consisted of children under 4 years of age who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of diarrheal diseases and infectious gastroenteritis of presumptive origin, and residents of the health micro-region of Salvador, Bahia. Data were tabulated using TabWin and analyzed by STATA version 12 software. Results: During the study period, 3,024 hospitalizations due to diarrheal diseases were recorded. There was a greater predominance of males (54.4%), and the age group from 1 to 4 years (69.3%). It is observed that in 2010 there was the highest rate of hospital admission for both age groups. Statistically significant correlations were found between hospital admission rates and the absence of sanitary facilities, water supply, HDI-M and sewage network coverage. Conclusion: Diarrheal diseases are correlated with different socio-environmental indicators. This study makes it possible to identify emergency areas, and can support the development of public actions and policies aimed at the population under study.

Goal:To analyze the socioenvironmental factors related to the occurrence of acute diarrhea in children from 2009 to 2018. Methodology: An integrative literature review study, carried out from 2009 to 2018, in the SCOPUS, Web of Science, Pubmed databases, using the descriptors "diarrhea, infantile", diarrhea, sanitation, "socioeconomic factors", using English, Portuguese and Spanish.
