“…Parece, assim, terem sido encontradas formas alternativas de atualização relativas à pandemia, provavelmente utilizando canais como o e-mail, plataformas de saúde, formações online, etc. [29][30][31] Verificou-se ainda uma associação entre a regularidade das reuniões de serviço e a regularidade das atividades de formação e atualização no âmbito da pandemia de COVID-19 com a atualização de procedimentos neste âmbito, demonstrando que provavelmente muitos desses momentos de reunião foram utilizados em prol da pandemia. Esta realidade foi, certamente, fruto da necessidade premente de fazer frente aos desafios impostos pela situação pandémica, mas poderá ter prejudicado a formação global dos profissionais.…”

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the reorganization of primary health care services. The aim of this study was to describe how the health services responded to organizational requests; how the health services involved and supported their employees; how professionals perceived their involvement in the procedures and what support was provided to them. Additions aims included assessing the levels of anxiety and depression of professionals and their association with the perceived support, availability of personal protective equipment and involvement in pandemic-related tasks. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional, analytical study directed at professionals from three health center groups using an online questionnaire. We collected information from sociodemographic data, access to personal protective equipment, perceived support, workload and levels of anxiety and depression. Between each variable and the levels of anxiety and depression, multivariate logistic regression was applied.Results: There were responses from 237 professionals (83.8% women; mean age 43.7 years; 43.2% physicians). Almost 60% worked with COVID-19 patients. The availability of personal protective equipment in March versus June 2020 increased (17.7% vs 55.3%). There was a risk management plan in 86% of the workplaces. A high workload (90%) and time pressure (74.6%) were identified. Physicians and nurses had a higher prevalence of depression associated with workload and fatigue (p < 0.001). Protective anxiety factors were having space to talk about problems, support in face of these problems and having a place to relax in the health unit. A lower risk of depression was found in the administrative staff group, in those who felt supported, and in those who actively participated in the contingency plans.Conclusion: The COVID-19 pandemic led to considerable changes in the dynamics of primary health care. The time pressure to carry out tasks and the level of concentration required were associated with a higher risk of mental disease. The support felt by healthcare professionals regarding their problems and concerns and the existence of places to relax in the health units were identified as protective factors. Health promotion, the maintenance of the social contacts of healthcare professionals and their involvement in the processes should be taken into account in the organizational dynamics of the institutions.

“…Our research design pointed local officials to videos made by youth in their own jurisdictions, and these local connections may also help explain the youth's influence, as locally framed messaging seems to be effective in engaging adults on even controversial issues such as climate change (Evans et al, 2014). Furthermore, considering that approximately half of the videos were viewed after local lockdowns occurred due to COVID-19, the connections created by virtual videos may have been amplified by the scarce nature of community connections at the time (Antonello et al, 2020). Our finding that officials were less changed by youth presentations than their community adult counterparts is perhaps not surprising-given officials must operate within the structural systems of government and represent the will of their constituents (Staerklé, 2015).…”

Youth Can Promote Marine Debris Concern and Policy Support Among Local Voters and Political Officials

et al. 2021

Many of the most sweeping social movements throughout history have been youth-led, including those related to environmental challenges. Emerging research suggests youth can build environmental concern among parents via intergenerational learning, in some cases overcoming socio-ideological differences that normally stymie attempts at collective action. What has not been studied is the potential for youth to also influence adults outside their immediate families. This study based in North Carolina, USA, explores the potential of today's young people as environmental change-agents in their communities on the topic of marine debris. Specifically, this evaluation examines responses from voters and local officials after participating in youth-led civic engagement events. After engaging with a youth-led civic engagement event, voters, and local officials completed a retrospective pretest survey that asked questions about levels of marine debris concern and their likelihood of supporting a local marine debris ordinance. Young people encouraged both concern and policy support among both voters and officials, and that concern and policy support increased independently of whether adults were voters or officials, liberals or conservatives, or knew the students personally. Further, participation in the youth-led engagement event reduced political differences in marine debris concern. This study suggests youth can play a critical role addressing marine debris challenges by promoting support for marine debris management policy, and doing so across political barriers.

“…That is, the advantages of online education associate with frustration among the participants. Indeed, previous studies have indicated several limitations of online learning both, technological and psychological, especially online meetings during a pandemic were more stressing for students (Antonello et al, 2020). However, this study suggests more evidence of teachers' difficulties in participating "as students" in distance learning.…”

“…It seems that this criticism involved an inevitable comparison to face-to-face meetings. Previous studies have argued that technology enables facilitators and teachers more management and control than in face-to-face meetings (Antonello et al, 2020). For example, facilitators can mute all participants when discussions are out of hand, and they can control participants entering and leaving the group.…”

Online education has evolved as an alternative to face-to-face classes during the COVID-19 pandemic both in schools and in higher education. The positive implications of planed remote learning have been explored however, online teaching in response to a disaster incur limitations especially, in sessions designed for educational staff training. This study explores experiences and perceptions of college teachers and instructors while participating in online sessions. Thematic analysis found two aspects arising from the participants' experience: (a) most of the participants struggled to overcome technical difficulties that undermined group intimacy; (b) learning was perceived by most of the participants as ineffective due to interpersonal communication problems and online facilitating issues. These findings provide more evidence to ineffectiveness of communication in online sessions. In addition, this study have implications for remote training programs for both, teachers and students, and the development of video conferencing as a mode of communication in professional contexts.
