“…During the home visit, the community health agent builds a bond of trust and friendship, in such a way that its practical health guidelines positively influence the health conditions of the population [7]. In this way, they assume great importance in the implementation of public health policies to promote, protect and support breastfeeding, contributing to Brazil achieving the four Millennium Development Goals target, which is to reduce child mortality by 2015 [8].…”

The objective was to investigate the Community Health Agents (CHA) knowledge in breastfeeding. An analytical cross-sectional study with ACS of both genders that work in the Family Health Strategy. The data were obtained through a questionnaire, including open and closed questions regarding their socioeconomic, professional and breastfeeding knowledge. A total of 116 ACS patients with an average age of 44.2 ± 8.8 years and 14.7 ± 5.2 years of service time participated. Of these, 69.6% reported having performed some training, and only 24.8% and 6.2% obtained a satisfactory knowledge classification, related to important aspects about the technique and management of intercurrences in breastfeeding, respectively. Regarding the answers of the closed questions, which were about general knowledge about breastfeeding, the average number of correct answers was 15.2 ± 3.2 questions, which was significantly higher (p = 0.019) among professionals working in the urban area in Rural areas. In view of the results, there is a need for greater investments in the training of the ACS in breastfeeding, so that they can acquire the necessary knowledge to effectively work with pregnant women and nursing mothers, especially with regard to adequate breastfeeding techniques and treatment of breast complications.

Background: The objective was to identify the perception of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender people about the implications of non-heterosexual sexual orientation in health care practices. . Methods:We adopted a qualitative research by conducting interviews with 30 gay and bisexual individuals recruited in the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte, Brazil, from the snowball technique in 2013. The data was categorized and analyzed based on the Theory of Diversity and Universality of Cultural Care. Findings:It was found that sexual minorities have encountered prejudiced and discriminatory professional practices in health care as a result of heteronormative cultural representations, which reflect difficulties in accessibility to the services. The exclusionary cultural care results in poor self-care and linked to sexually transmitted diseases, low attendance and distance of health services for gay and bisexual men. Conclusion:It is believed that the influence of heteronormative cultural conceptions in services imply deficit of self-care by the group.

“…The cultural aspect, which includes popular beliefs, religiousness, food and sociability, creates ways of dealing with diseases and relieves pain and suf-fering (Budó & Saupe, 2005;Escola de Saúde Pública de Minas Gerais, 2014;Lara, Brito, & Rezende, 2012). The enhancement of cultural and informal care practices becomes an important focus for professionals who work in these environments, since they are the fi rst steps taken by users with diseases (Silva, Dimenstein, & Leite, 2013).…”

Rural populations have historically suffered the effects of a socio-economic model based on country estates and exploitation of workers. Such model is associated with the appearance of psychosocial and environmental vulnerabilities that have a negative impact on mental health. Therefore, in rural environments there are certain conditions that play a major role in the health-disease process and must be considered in health care planning. This theoretical study discusses the case of mental health care from the perspective of social determinants of health considering the concrete territories of rural populations. We conducted a literature review using relevant databases, which demonstrated a lack of studies about the chosen topic. The territorial and community logic supporting psychosocial care must be introduced in daily care services. Such process will provide more effective solutions to the mental health needs of rural populations, which are directly related to the iniquities that have shaped life in the countryside. Keywords:Comprehensive health care, mental health, mental health services, rural health, rural health services. Cuidado Psicossocial em Saúde Mental em Contextos Rurais ResumoAs populações rurais sofrem historicamente efeitos do modelo socioeconômico pautado no latifúndio e exploração do trabalhador. Esse modelo está associado à produção de situações de vulnerabilidade psicossocial e ambiental que impactam negativamente na saúde mental. No meio rural há, portanto, certos condicionantes que são decisivos no processo saúde-doença e que devem ser considerados na produção da atenção. Este estudo teórico problematiza o cuidado em saúde mental em contextos rurais considerando o processo de determinação social da saúde e da vida, bem como os territórios concretos de existência das populações rurais. Realizou-se uma revisão da literatura nos principais bancos de dados, o que evidenciou a carência de estudos sobre a temática. Considera-se que a lógica territorial e comunitária que sustenta a Atenção Psicossocial precisa ser construída no cotidiano das equipes, visando respostas mais efetivas às necessidades de saúde mental das populações rurais, relacionadas diretamente às iniquidades que marcam a vida no campo.Palavras-chave: Assistência integral à saúde, saúde da população rural, saúde mental, serviços de saúde mental, serviços de saúde rural.
