RESUMO Objetivo Compreender as percepções de docentes, trabalhadores e estudantes sobre a articulação da educação interprofissional com as práticas na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Método Qualitativo compreensivo e interpretativo, cuja coleta de dados foi realizada de 2012 a 2013, por meio de 18 entrevistas semiestruturadas com docentes e quatro sessões de grupos focais homogêneos com estudantes, docentes e trabalhadores da Atenção Primária. Resultados A triangulação dos resultados possibilitou a construção de duas categorias: prática colaborativa centrada no usuário e barreiras para educação interprofissional. A primeira indicou a necessidade de mudança do modelo de atenção e de formação dos profissionais de saúde, e a segunda apontou dificuldades percebidas pelos diferentes atores sociais no que se refere à implementação da educação interprofissional. Conclusão A educação interprofissional é incipiente no Brasil e sinaliza possibilidades de mudança em direção à prática colaborativa, mas requer maiores investimentos na articulação ensino-serviço.

New Technologies of Information / Communication offer the option of using a virtual learning environment (VLE), which allows for greater interactivity in daily nursing education urging educators to rethink their teaching practices. The aim of this study was to report the experience of the use of virtual environment in nursing education from the perspective of students. The discipline "Nursing Education: Trends and Challenges" was given to 78 students from the 4th semester of undergraduate nursing, from which 48 answered a questionnaire with closed and, among these, 33 answered an open question about the use of AVA. Students considered the AVA a facilitating tool of learning, the process of knowledge construction and interaction between students, teachers and tutors enriching thus the sharing of ideas and allowing a meaningful and collaborative learning. The study revealed the need for enhancement of use of VLE in teaching undergraduate nursing.

researches that contribute to understanding the perspectives, facilitators, and barriers for APN are necessary, as well as determining the population's health needs and expectations concerning the role of these professionals.

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo com o objetivo de descrever a metodologia do processo de construção coletiva de um perfil de competências para a ação educativa da enfermeira. A categoria conceitual utilizada foi a competência, ancorada nas concepções de trabalho em saúde e saber operante. Foram coletados discursos de docentes e estudantes do curso de bacharelado em enfermagem da EEUSP; enfermeiras, gestores e usuários dos serviços de saúde vinculados à Universidade de São Paulo, analisados com a técnica de análise de discurso. Houve similaridades em relação a conhecimentos, habilidades e atitudes necessárias ao desenvolvimento de práticas educativas mais dialógicas e participativas. Foi possível a construção de um perfil de competências para a ação educativa da enfermeira, numa perspectiva coletiva e das necessidades de saúde.

This study presents a theoretical reflection that aims at identifying teaching strategies for the development of ethical-political dimension of professional competence from the perspective of critical reflection. Professional competence has two dimensions - technical and political, mediated by ethics. Critical reflection renew search ways of thinking and doing in health, with the ultimate goal of intervention in social reality, to improve the living conditions and health of communities. Highlights some educational tools such as portfolio, the field journal and written narratives, which allow producing a clear and objective account of the experience and assigning meaning and significance of what was accomplished. Based on a critical reflection, such instruments helped develop ethical-political dimension of professional competence.

RESUMENObjetivo: Analizar las características del trabajo docente en la educación superior en Enfermería. Método: Estudio exploratorio y cualitativo cuyo marco de referencia teórico-metodológico fue el materialismo histórico y dialético. Como categoría analí-tica, se adoptó el proceso de trabajo docente, anclado en las concepciones de trabajo y profesionalidad. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas con 24 docentes de tres instituciones de educación superior de la ciudad de São Paulo, clasificadas según la tipología de contextos institucionales. Resultados: Se revelaron que los docentes de dichas instituciones de educación superior constituyen un grupo heterogéneo, sometido a distintas condiciones laborales. La intensificación y la precarización del trabajo docente son comunes a los tres marcos, aunque existan diferencias importantes en las prácticas didácticas relacionadas con la enseñanza, la investigación y la extensión. Conclusión: La profesionalización docente puede ser el punto de partida para el análi-sis y el enfrentamiento de una realidad tan distinta de trabajo y práctica docente. A intensificação e a precarização do trabalho docente é comum aos três contextos, embora haja distinções importantes nas práticas didáticas relacionadas a ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Conclusão: A profissionalização docente pode ser o ponto de partida para a análise e o enfrentamento de uma realidade tão distinta de trabalho e prática docente.

Method: An exploratory qualitative study with a theoretical-methodological framework of dialectical and historical materialism. The faculty work process was adopted as the analytical category, grounded on conceptions of work and professionalism. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 faculty members from three higher education institutions in the city of São Paulo, classified according to the typology of institutional contexts. Results:The faculty members at these higher education institutions are a heterogeneous group, under different working conditions. Intensification and precarious conditions of the faculty work is common to all three contexts, although there are important distinctions in the practices related to teaching, research and extension. Conclusion: Faculty professionalization can be the starting point for analyzing and coping with such a distinct reality of faculty work and practice.

Based on quantitative research, this article analyzes the way health education has been approached in the undergraduate education curriculum at a state university in Brazil. The investigation was divided into two stages: the first analyzes the curriculum of the course and the second investigates how education students see the topic, based on replies to a questionnaire. In regard to the curriculum, it was seen that two of the 73 disciplines analyzed deal explicitly with health education in schools. The replies showed that 65% of the students studied do not perceive this approach in their curriculums, even though 85% consider the work of teachers indispensable for the development of the theme in schools. The authors concluded that curriculums in the area of education should critically take the theme of health education into account, due to its importance for the life and citizenship of middle-school and high-school students.KEY WORDS: health education. universities. higher education. curriculum.Analisa-se, por meio de pesquisa descritiva, o modo como a Educação em Saúde tem sido abordada no currículo de graduação em Pedagogia de uma universidade estadual paulista. A investigação foi dividida em duas etapas: a primeira analisa o currículo do curso e a segunda, a compreensão dos estudantes de Pedagogia sobre o tema, por intermédio de respostas a um questionário. Em relação ao currículo, observou-se que duas, das 73 disciplinas analisadas trabalham, de modo explícito, a Educação em Saúde na escola. As respostas dos alunos revelaram que 65% dos respondentes não percebem esta abordagem no currículo, porém 85% consideram a atuação do pedagogo indispensável para o desenvolvimento do tema no ambiente escolar. Concluiu-se ser fundamental que o currículo do pedagogo contemple, criticamente, a temática da Educação em Saúde, dada sua relevância para a vida e a cidadania dos escolares de nível médio.

Our aim was to systematically review data about the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and bacterial vaginosis among lesbian women and to suggest strategies to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment. A search strategy for lesbian, STI and bacterial vaginosis was applied to PubMed, LILACS and BDENF databases. Of 387 unique references retrieved, 22 fulfilled the inclusion criteria (cross-sectional studies reporting prevalence for 8 STIs/bacterial vaginosis and history of a STI). The most frequent infection reported was bacterial vaginosis, and none study reported data on hepatitis B. A wide range of prevalence was observed for most infections. In terms of risk factors, the number of sexual partners, the past or current smoking, a history of forced sex and sexual stigma seem to increase the risk of STI and bacterial vaginosis. The findings of this review are discussed considering guidelines directly addressing the LGBT community’s health and relevant studies investigating both safe sexual practices and the intricate relationship between LGBT people and their care providers. A set of recommendations to improve preventive care for lesbian women is proposed. Affirming that little is known about the extent of STIs and bacterial vaginosis transmission in female-to-female sexual activities or about the risk factors for STI and bacterial vaginosis among lesbian women is reasonable. In fact, the overall quality of the studies was low or very low with significant uncertainty around their findings. However, we consider that the available knowledge indicates some paths to be followed by care providers and policy decision-makers to improve their actions towards better sexual health of lesbian women.
