“…Several authors report that, despite advances in the professionalization of nutritionists in general and specifically for Collective Health, traditional practices oriented towards curative assistance with a biological focus still predominate, often far from an integral approach, which considers complexity inherent to the food and nutritional phenomenon (Medeiros et al, 2014;Neves et al, 2014;Aguiar & Costa, 2015;Almeida, Oliveira, Monteiro, Medeiros, & Recine 2018). Also, fragmented curricular structures with vertical transmission of knowledge predominate, making dialogue with other sciences difficult.…”

This study aims to analyze the scientific production of Nutrition courses on knowledge core Food and Nutrition in Collective Health (FNCH) and its associations with institutional characteristics and advisor’s academic degree. A bibliometric study was performed on 195 final projects of five nutrition courses in Rio Grande do Norte state (Brazil) from the year 2013. Information related to higher education institutions and academic degree of advisor were collected. From the reading of sections of final projects, screening was performed on final project involvement with knowledge core FNCH, being collected general methodological characteristics, classification on sub cores of FNCH, and theme approached. Pearson’s chi-square test was used with a significance level at p-value ≤ 0.05 and 95% confidence interval in a univariate and bivariate way. From the total of analyzed final projects, 54 (27.7%) were related to knowledge core FNCH, prevailing final projects with a quantitative approach (61%), presented as scientific articles (57%), and performed in public services (45%). There was an emphasis on the sub-core of Nutritional Epidemiology (63%) [p < 0.001], with the theme Nutritional Assessment (57%) [p < 0.001]. There was no significant association between FNCH final projects proportion and institutional characteristics or advisor’s academic degree. Thinking about nutritionists’ practice, limitations were identified on FNCH scientific production, with an emphasis on nutritional diagnosis researches, with less involvement in public health policies and human and social sciences.

“…Nutritionists who were more satisfied at work were those who classified their knowledge in food service as excellent. For instance, Almeida et al [34] conducted a systematic review and observed the importance of the relationship between theory and practice, the dimensions of teaching, research and extension, and practical activities and internships for the development of skills and competencies of nutritionists who work in the public health area.…”

Objective To evaluate the job satisfaction of nutritionists who work in food service in the state of Paraná (Brazil). Methods A survey was carried out with 249 nutritionists through a semi-structured online questionnaire, which assessed their profile, professional activities, and job satisfaction. The Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests and the ordinal logistic regression at a 5% significance level were applied to evaluate the differences and relationship between job satisfaction and the independent variables. Results The average age of the survey participants was 31.9±6.4 years, the majority was female (95.58%), and graduated between 2000 and 2016 (90.36%). The survey revealed that 55.41% of the nutritionists were satisfied at work, 33.68% were indifferent, 6.86% were highly satisfied, and 4.04% were dissatisfied. The variables that influenced job satisfaction the most were age, years of training, income, and workdays in the week. Income explained satisfaction positively. There was statistical difference in relation to the satisfaction of participants regarding their knowledge on food service (p=0.0350), completion of postgraduate courses (p=0.0082), and interest in working in an area of nutrition other than food service (p<0.0001). Conclusion Although most professionals are satisfied, many were indifferent to job satisfaction, which may reflect a low perspective on their current job or poor experience in the food service. These results suggest the need for further actions aiming at raising nutritionists’ perceived professional importance.

Background At the global level, transgender people (transvestites and transsexuals) live in worse health and living conditions due to the stigma and violence they face, including within health services. In Brazil, the Unified Health System must offer comprehensive care to the population, regardless of social class and gender. The aim of this article is to establish a systematic review protocol to analyze how health care occurs for the transgender population in the Unified Health System. Methods This protocol was guided by PRISMA-P and the bases SCIELO, LILACS, BVS and PUBMED will be consulted. Empirical studies, with a qualitative or quantitative approach, that deal with health care for the transgender population in the Unified Health System, where the respondents are transgender people, health professionals or health managers, will be included in the systematic review. For the definition of the final sample, the articles will undergo an assessment of methodological quality and risk of bias, with the help of the critical assessment tools of the Joanna Briggs Institute, using a specific checklist for each type of study. The synthesis of the findings will be carried out through the formal narrative and the presentation of tables with summarized data, with the final writing of the review guided by PRISMA. Discussion Based on scientific evidence, it is intended to present an overview of health care for the transgender population in the Unified Health System. In addition, to point out possible strategies to qualify the political, organizational and attitudinal aspects related to health care for that population. Systematic review registration: PROSPERO CRD42020188719.
