Abstract Family Health Support Centres (NASFs, in Portuguese) aim to develop interprofessional practices anchored in the assumptions of Primary Health Care, guided by the criteria of shared care specific professional interventions, management processes, interdisciplinarity, intersectoriality, Continuing Education in Health and health promotion. This health management methodology (Matrix Support) still represents a challenge to workers and managers, as it switches the logic of clinical thought from individual-centred, ambulatory and disciplinary care to collective, territory and interdisciplinary care. This study might illustrate and allow sharing of experiences about a work management format for multidisciplinary teams in Primary Health Care. A partnership between the University and the state health department was established in order to elaborate a collaborative, educational and supportive action. We formed a group of workers in the target area (24 municipalities and 18 teams) who had a focus on Continuing Education in Health using Institutional Analysis as theoretical reference. The main goal of the action was to provide spaces to share experiences and learning in the perspective of Continuing Education in Health. How does Continuing Education in Health support interprofessional practices in the field of Collective Health? Among the main results, we list: reflection about organisation practices of multiprofessional work, reflection about care practices and clinic management in the technical-assistance and pedagogic perspectives of Matrix Support; encouragement to improve the services offered in this level of care and their relationship with other points of the network. This experience showed us the importance of three main aspects: Continuing Education in Health, as a strategy of critical analysis about work and workers; the partnership and integration between teaching and service; and interprofessional formation processes (necessary to NASF and Collective Health). Key messages Continuing Education in Health is a strategy to deal with challenges and possibilities of interprofessional practices in the field of Collective Health. Enabling experiences and providing spaces for health professionals to share experience and learning.

Nutrition And Physical Activity

The study objective was to assess primary health care (PHC) providers’ exposure to women in the pre- and post-natal period, current nutrition and physical activity guidance practices, confidence and perceived needs for continuing education relevant to nutrition and physical activity guidance in the peri-natal period. A self-administered cross-sectional questionnaire survey amongst a purposively recruited sample of 226 local primary health care providers evenly distributed across general practice, community nursing, pharmacist and pharmacy assistant worker groups. The questionnaire contained 106 items about primary health care providers’ exposure to women in the pre- and post-natal life-stage, their current nutrition and physical activity guidance practices, confidence and perceived needs for continuing education relevant to nutrition and physical activity guidance in the peri-natal period. Results indicate that PHC providers across general practice, community nursing and pharmacy service settings are frequently accessed by women during this life-stage, and regularly and variably provide guidance on nutrition and physical activity, and report different continuing education needs. Continuing education interventions need to be tailored to match the needs of each PHC group. Pharmacy-based staff are a priority for PHC continuing education about nutrition and physical activity if the potential of the community-based pharmacy as a primary health setting is to be realised.

The Council of Ontario University Programs in Nursing offers a nine-university, consortium-based primary health care nurse practitioner education program and on-line continuing education courses for primary health care nurse practitioners. Our study sought to determine the continuing education needs of primary health care nurse practitioners across Ontario, how best to meet these needs, and the barriers they face in completing continuing education. Surveys were completed by 83 (40%) of 209 learners who had participated in continuing education offered by the Council of Ontario University Programs in Nursing between 2004 and 2007. While 83% (n = 50) of nurse practitioners surveyed indicated that continuing education was extremely important to them, they also identified barriers to engaging in continuing education offerings including; time intensity of the courses, difficulty taking time off work, family obligations, finances and fatigue. The most common reason for withdrawal from a continuing education offering was the difficulty of balancing work and study demands. Continuing education opportunities are important to Ontario primary health care nurse practitioners, and on-line continuing education offerings have been well received, but in order to be taken up by their target audience they must be relevant, readily accessible, flexible, affordable and offered over brief, intense periods of time using technology that is easy to use and Internet sites that are easily navigated.

Abstract Background Breastfeeding and adequate complementary feeding in the first years of life provide short- and long-term benefits for child health. However, breastfeeding and adequate complementary feeding prevalence's are low. In Brazil, the Estratégia Amamenta e Alimenta Brasil (EAAB) aims to improve the quality of the assistance provided by primary healthcare teams to ultimately improving infant feeding practices in the Brazilian population. In primary healthcare units, continuing education in breastfeeding and complementary feeding is facilitated by EAAB tutors. A Manual to Support EAAB Tutor (the Manual) was developed following a problem-based learning methodology. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Manual by analyzing exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding indicators. Methods A before and after study was conducted at primary healthcare units in Embu das Artes, Brazil. The intervention consisted in the use of the Manual by EAAB tutors who performed some comprehensive training activities with healthcare teams, in a period of 8 months. Subjects consisted of mothers of infants under one year of age attended at primary healthcare units. 561 mothers before and 598 mothers after intervention were interviewed about breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices. Multivariate analysis was performed using Poisson multilevel regression to test the hypothesis. Results Lack of minimum food diversity (before 62.9%; after 50.3%) and lack of food adequacy (before 77.5%; after 63.3%) decreased significantly. Regression analysis confirmed that infants after the intervention had lower prevalence of inadequacy of complementary feeding. While the intervention did not show significant association with exclusive breastfeeding, it showed association with the improvement of complementary feeding practices. Conclusions The Manual is a continuing educational strategy that improved complementary feeding practices in primary health care. Key messages The use of a continuing education strategy grounded on a problem-based learning methodology was effective to produce improvements in complementary feeding practices in primary health care. The 'Manual to Support EAAB Tutor' consists of a tool that has the potential to be adapted for different contexts and easy to disclose to all EAAB tutors in the country.

Resumo: A Educação Permanente em Saúde (EPS) visa planejamento e execução de ações formativas de profissionais da saúde que atendam às necessidades da população e dos princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). O presente estudo buscou caracterizar as concepções dos gestores e cirurgiões-dentistas da Atenção Primária à Saúde sobre EPS. A coleta se deu por entrevista com cirurgiões-dentistas da ESF e com profissionais representantes da gestão das ações de EPS. A análise ocorreu por meio do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) com a elaboração de discursos que representem os discursos dos cirurgiões-dentistas e da gestão. O DSC mais prevalente sobre a concepção de EPS para cirurgiões-dentistas mostrou conceitos que se aproximam da Educação Continuada, diferente da concepção dos gestores. A gestão do trabalho e da educação na saúde com ênfase na valorização profissional e fortalecimento dos vínculos constitui-se determinante para um entendimento e aderência a EPS.Palavras-chave: Educação na Saúde; Odontologia; Atenção Primária à Saúde. Discourse of the collective subject of the conceptions on permanent education in health of managers and dental surgeons of the primary health careAbstract: The Permanent Education in Health (EPS) aims to plan and execute training actions of health professionals that meet the needs of the population and the principles of the Unified Health System (SUS). The present study aimed to characterize the conceptions of dental managers and surgeons of Primary Health Care on EPS. The data collection was by interview with dental surgeons of the ESF and with professional representatives of the management of EPS actions. The analysis took place through the Discourse of the Collective Subject (DSC) with the elaboration of speeches that represent the look of dentists and management. The DSC most prevalent on the design of EPS for dental surgeons showed concepts that approach Continuing Education, different from the conception of the managers. The management of work and education in health with emphasis on professional valorization and strengthening of bonds is a determining factor for an understanding and adherence to the EPS.Keywords: Health Education; Dentistry; Primary Health Care.
