Promover saúde na escola: reflexões a partir de uma revisãosobre saúde escolar na América Latina

Abstract

This paper presents a bibliographic review on the topic of school health in Latin America based on papers published between 1995 and 2012 and reflects the potential of its implementation as public policy. It was possible to identify the persistence of initiatives centered on disease with a focus on screening and preventive actions. However, the selection of health promotion as the strategic axis of school health has resulted in changes. In this context, the challenges include the definition of roles in the planning and execution of programs and the experience of the broader concept of health. Creating and strengthening spaces for participation with students, teachers, health professionals and the community is indispensable for the creation of fairer and healthier realities.

Training of adolescent multipliers from the perspective of health promotion core competencies

“…Regarding the definition of roles and responsibilities in the planning and execution of the HSP, there are three concepts that must be improved and problematized in school health: participation; and an inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary approach (15) .…”

Construção e validação participativa do modelo lógico do Programa Saúde na Escola

“…With this new understanding, changes have occurred in roles and responsibilities by partnerships and articulation around health-promotion strategies in school (caSeMiro;FonSeca;Secco, 2014 The term 'hunting witches' demonstrates the active search for diseases and injuries among children in schools, from a perspective of an already established disease, or diagnosis, and no concern with prevention, education and health promotion. This perspective is still under transformation and discussion, since only the health sector is still seen as the actor and responsible party, without school participation in the health education process.…”

“…The establishment of school health as a public policy for health promotion and quality of life requires intersectoral coordination and planning, and the definition of interdisciplinary initiatives based on local realities, identifying real problems and viable solutions (caSiMiro;FonSeca;Secco, 2014). However, after searching the literature, no publication was found on the assessment of the logical structure of the program, in contrast to what is effectively developed in practice, which was converted into the rational for this study.…”

(In) Visibilidade Da Escola Na Discussão Sobre O Uso Racional De Medicamentos

“…Assumir essa postura crítica e reflexiva a respeito do tema demonstra que já existe uma preocupação na divulgação do papel da escola nas ações comunitárias em favor de uma discussão curricular sobre o processo saúde--doença relacionado ao uso de medicamentos pelos atores sociais (CASEMIRO; FONSECA; SECCO, 2014;FOELLMER;MOREIRA, 2010).…”

“…Trabalhos recentes, no entanto, apontam perspectivas de construção de práticas pedagógicas e ferramentas metodológicas dentro da escola que possam contribuir no desenvolvimento desse tema no Ensino Fundamental, estabelecendo discursos e enfrentamentos com instituições que representam a lógica do consumo (LAGO et al, 2016 Aqui percebemos o discurso da escola como um ambiente de conscientização, de formação do pensamento e de construção social no campo da saúde coletiva e do uso correto de medicamentos. Estes discursos mostram a importância que a escola tem na abordagem do uso correto de medicamentos (CASEMIRO; FONSECA; SECCO, 2014;COSTA et al, 2013;FERRARI DE LIMA;MALACAME;STRIEDER, 2012;MOTA, 2011;FOELLMER;MOREIRA, 2010;HORTA, 2010;CARDOSO;REIS;IERVOLINO, 2008). Segue mais alguns discursos: [...] A maioria dos riscos de morbidade relacionados a medicamentos poderia ser minimizado caso a cultura sobre o uso adequado de medicamentos estivesse presente na escola desde a infância (CORRÊA et al, 2013, p. 3.073).…”
