“…Understanding the needs, priorities, and perceptions of the community and assuring consistency of planning programs with the philosophy of health education is also of key importance for the development of planning programs that will not only be efficacious, but that will be accepted and successfully implemented, operated, and maintained (Hochbaum, 1980;Basch et al, 1986). In Brazil, Noronha et al (1995) noted discrepancies between cultural values and habits and conventional control measures that impacted the effectiveness of health education programs. Rozemberg (1994) related snail control and other preventive measures in the national schistosomiasis control program to misconceptions about the cause and control of schistosomiasis.…”

A study to determine the sociocultural factors influencing knowledge, attitudes, and practices of individuals from a small community toward Schistosoma mansoni infection was carried out in an endemic area in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study used qualitative approaches to collect data from school-aged children and teachers. Specific findings were that the individuals interviewed were aware of the disease, but also held inaccurate popular beliefs about transmission. Misconceptions coexisted with accurate knowledge both in children and teachers. The disease was not seen as a major health problem and does not affect their activities since it does not cause severe symptoms in most of the individuals. Although the majority of the participants relate transmission to water and lack of sanitation, they do not take any preventive measures since their subsistence is highly dependent on irrigation, farming, fishing, and other essential work that is directly related to water activities. The authors discuss the development of a health education program based on the knowledge and perception of individuals about the disease and its determinants as being important for the context and behavioral change.

Análise preliminar do Sistema de Informação do Programa de Controle da Esquistossomose no período de 1999 a 2003

O estudo teve como objetivo a análise preliminar do Sistema de Informação do Programa de Controle da Esquistossomose (SISPCE), na Bahia, Sergipe, Alagoas e Pernambuco, Brasil, entre 1999 e 2003. Houve queda acentuada da entrada de dados no período da descentralização, com aumento gradativo dos registros, à exceção de Pernambuco que apresenta um sub-registro importante. Os dados do SISPCE-DATASUS e IBGE são insuficientes para construção de indicadores para o monitoramento das formas graves da endemia e outros aspectos que possam relacionar as condições de saneamento com a ocorrência da doença. A reformulação do sistema de informações é fundamental para a efetivação das ações de controle diante da nova realidade do sistema de saúde. Esse deve ser repensado de forma a integrar-se às políticas de saúde em consonância com as diretrizes do SUS, utilizando metodologia de coleta de dados sistemática, adequada às especificidades locais, possibilitando comparações e avaliações prospectivas, além da construção de novos indicadores com ênfase na morbidade e nos determinantes da endemia e da adoção de unidades de análise que venham a expressar a real situação da esquistossomose nos Estados.

“…32,84 Researchers also called attention to the role of health services in generating another kind of violence -so-called institutional violence -which even occasioned the publication in Lancet of one of the few articles of international repercussion. 30 Due to its exceptional character and its potential of opening up new frontiers of investigation, the use a gender perspective in the study of endemic transmissible diseases, such as schistosomiasis 65 and hanseniasis 68 should be highlighted.…”

The differences in health between men and women have been object of great interest, but interpretations tend to be naturalized and essentialists. Gender-oriented studies have criticized this literature and offered new analythical alternatives. The present study was intended to describe the profile and trends of scientific production on gender and health in Brazil. Data sources comprised the Research Groups Directory of Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (National Research Council), CAPES (Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) Thesis Bank, and four journals available in SciELO -Scientific Eletronic Library Online. Fifty-one groups with at least one line of research in the subject were identified, with regional and institutional concentrations. The results confirmed the marked growth of scientific production in this field as 98 master and 42 doctoral dissertations and 665 articles on gender and health were retrieved. Women authored 86.0% and 89.0% of doctoral and master dissertations respectively, and 70.5% of the articles. Most were published in the 2000s when diversification of the studied topics was also seen. The studied subjects can be divided into five subgroups: reproduction and contraception; gender and violence; sexuality and health with emphasis on STD/ AIDS; work and health, including domestic and night work; other emergent or less explored topics. There are major political, epistemological and methodological challenges for strengthening these advancements. The gender perspective offers possibilities for enlightment of theoretical dilemmas in public health. Furthermore, it can be added to other intellectual and political efforts towards understanding health and its determinants and fighting against inequalities and for social justice.
