“…For example, Sivaramakrishnan, Fitzsimons [ 91 ] have shown in their systematic review and meta-analysis that yoga practice has a beneficial effect on older people’s mental health. It has also been argued that the integration of traditional and complementary medicine approaches offers an opportunity for a more health-promoting model of PHC [ 92 ].…”

Background Old age mental healthcare is an issue that cuts across old age, general health, and mental healthcare policies. While strengthening the primary mental healthcare system in India is a common strategy across policy fields to improve the mental health of older persons, very little is known about the system’s planned architecture. This study explores public policy strategies for and approaches to the mental health of older persons, focusing on the primary healthcare (PHC) level and the role of the family. Methods A document analysis of 39 key public national policy documents (2007 – 2019) from three thematically grouped policy fields (mental health, old age, and general health) was conducted. Results Comprehensive community-based primary mental healthcare – focusing on vulnerable population groups including older persons – has been strengthened significantly since 2007. The promulgated approaches and strategies build on traditional community-based approaches to mental healthcare in India. They focus on (a) integrating community health workers into primary mental healthcare, (b) empowering the community to participate in healthcare planning, implementation, and monitoring, (c) supporting the family through a family-led approach to mental healthcare, and (d) integrating traditional Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, Sowa-Rigpa and Homeopathy (AYUSH) services into primary mental healthcare. Conclusions While all policy fields address mental PHC, they do so in different ways, and approaches and strategies that promote an integrated perspective across policy fields are lacking. To realize the policies vision, strengthening PHC will be essential. Further research should evaluate strategies and approaches in light of social developments, such as eroding family norms and the poor state of the public health system in India, in order to assess their opportunities, challenges, and overall feasibility, with the benefits older people would experience taking centre stage in these inquiries.

“…The inclusion of the new Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in Health Professions Education is a reality; therefore, to educate competent professionals to perform their functions ethically, aware of the social implications of their actions in the digital society, it is fundamental that educators and professionals understand these technologies and master their applicability (Franco de Sá, Nogueira & De Almeida Guerra, 2019;Organização Pan-Americana da Saúde, 2018;Tamim & Grant 2016;World Health Organization, 2019).…”

Q method, a mixed methods research approach, is used to explore points of view and attitudes towards a specific phenomenon from subjective human perspectives. There has been an increase in the use of digital technologies in education and it has become necessary to investigate the difficulties and facilities of health professionals and students in order to improve the use of such technologies for teaching and learning. We aimed to identify and evaluate studies that employed Q method to investigate the use of digital technologies in Health Professions Education. To achieve this, a systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA Statement Guidelines. The selection of articles was based on the search strategy (("Q-sort" OR "Q-methodology" OR "Q-technique")) AND (("Teaching") OR ("Learning")). Of the 1,398 articles found, 13 were selected in accordance with the adopted inclusion criteria. The articles successfully applied Q method to health issues, which expands its application possibilities and provides a contribution to mixed methods research. Another contribution is the use of the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool in this type of review. In view of the pressing need for education changes, using mixed methods research, particularly Q method, to investigate teaching culture and practice, can successfully support the renewal of Health Professions Education.

Introdução: A medicina família e comunitária (MFC) vem desenvolvendo a prevenção quaternária (P4) com uma centralidade no uso crítico de recursos biomédicos. Em paralelo, vem crescendo a grande procura e o uso das práticas integrativas e complemantares em saúde (PICS) por pessoas e profissionais de saúde, com crescentes investigação científica e institucionalização das PICS, sobretudo na atenção primária à saúde (APS). Objetivo: Descrever contribuições potenciais de várias PICS para a prática da P4. Métodos: Ensaio baseado em literatura selecionada assistematicamente, em perspectiva hermenêutica de compreender a interface P4-PICS e descrever sinteticamente contribuições possíveis de PICS para a prática da P4. Resultados e Discussão: O uso de PICS como P4 pode facilitar o autoconhecimento e a crítica dos profissionais; reduzir a medicalização, se assim direcionadas; enriquecer o autocuidado; reduzir a iatrogenia dos cuidados e pluralizar a terapêutica; transformar a observação assistida em terapêutica; otimizar a singularização da abordagem; amplificar/diversificar os estímulos à autocura e fornecer novos entendimentos e vias de acesso à saúde-doença. Conclusão: São amplas e férteis as possibilidades de uso de PICS como P4 na MFC e na APS, tanto na prevenção como no cuidado clínico aos adoecidos.
