Uma leitura sobre a perspectiva etnoepidemiológica

Rita de Cássia Pereira Fernandes

Abstract: É indubitável a contribuição da epidemiologia para o estudo da enfermidade e sua distribuição em populações. No entanto, vários estudiosos têm apontado a necessidade de revisar as dificuldades e limites dessa disciplina. Alguns autores chamam a atenção para a necessidade de integrar diferentes perspectivas teórico-metodológicas para o estudo de objetos complexos como a relação saúde-doença. Os limites da abordagem dos fatores de risco aplicada isoladamente ao estudo dessa relação devem ser superados por meio d… Show more

“…When proposing an approximation to a new paradigm for epidemiology that is able to deal with "insubordinated" objects, Fernandes 20 upholds the thesis of Almeida Filho 21 on the need for construction of an "ethnoepidemiology", as an interdisciplinary practice and its assumptions that health-illness phenomena should be conceived as social, historic, complex, fragmented, conflictive, dependent, ambiguous, uncertain processes. Taking the premise of Santos 22 , we highlight the notion of space as a veritable field of forces whose formation is unequal, and this is why spatial evolution is not presented in the same way in all places.…”

“…The scientific literature centered on efforts to specifically produce specifically and interplay between epidemiology and medical anthropology can be classified into three concrete theoretical-methodological proposals, namely, ethno-epidemiology 17,22,23 , sociocultural epidemiology 7,21 , and cultural epidemiology 11,24 . Although other theoretical models of interdisciplinary synthesis (like the social ecology model of Panter-Brick et al 13 ) are not analyzed in this article, in Latin America (Mexico and Brazil) these theoretical and methodological proposals have been used to solve practical investigation issues and to find more integrated solutions for the future of interventions.…”

“…Dada que es, en parte, una descripción del peso de la enfermedad, se puede presentar este peso como una epidemiologia clásica, buscando cifras de incidencia y prevalencia y factores de riesgo para el ojo o la diarrea (ver por ejemplo, esta hecha con nervios y su traducción a diagnósticos psicológicos en Puerto Rico 30 ). No obstante, también puede presentar este peso como una epidemiología sin números, intentando describir la carga de la enfermedad en palabras en vez de números 9,31 . Lo que estamos haciendo en este estudio es una exploración de las dos epidemiologías, pensando en su intercambio y evolución mutua, conjunta, en una zona de transiciones sociales y ambientales veloces.…”

“…En su análisis señalan instancias de traslape o superposición entre conceptos no-biomédicos y conceptos biomédicos 4,5,6,7,8 . Cuando esto ha tenido un carácter poblacional, ha sido llamado “epidemiología local”, “etnoepidemiología” 9,10,11,12 , o epidemiología cultural 13 . En lugares donde la población local está pasando por grandes cambios en la vida social, uno puede ver con aún más claridad cómo estos sistemas van evolucionando conjuntamente 14,15,16 .…”
