Abstract The literature highlights the existence of weaknesses in the psychosocial care network, especially in the treatment of children and adolescents that use drugs. The study aimed to comprehend, based on the Winnicottian theoretical framework, how a Residential Care Unit has been providing care to children and adolescents with needs arising from drugs use in situations of social vulnerability. Semi-structured interviews, with eight care providers, and 65 hours of participant observation were carried out. From the thematic analysis, three themes were constructed: (1) Setting: regarding attention to basic needs and construction of a routine; (2) View: regarding empathy and expansion of perspectives; (3) Aggressiveness: regarding new ways of relating. Important actions are aimed at constructing care for this specific population, as this is a current theme with recent and weakly structured public policies.

The purpose of this study is to explore how teenagers view the relationships and interactions in the process of healthily becoming an adolescent. This qualitative exploratory research was conducted with ten teenagers in a state college in a town in southern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, from August to October, 2007. We used semi-structured interviews to collect the data. Later, we decided to use a thematic analysis, in which two themes emerged: (1) the process of building relationships and interactions in adolescence and (2) the risk in social life. As a result, we realized the importance of interpersonal relationships formed in adolescence, which deserve the nurse’s attention. Nurses can help in the guiding of this population in basic health units, hospitals or schools, to a healthy adolescence. Thus, teenagers may enjoy the relationships built in this process in order to grow and to enter into adulthood.

Objetivo: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo que se propõe a analisar a articulação entre um centro de atenção psicossocial e a rede de saúde intersetorial. Metodologia: A coleta de dados ocorreu de agosto à dezembro de 2017, em um município da fronteira oeste do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil. A análise dos dados foi organizada a partir da utilização do Software Package for the Social Network Analysis - UCINET. O estudo norteia-se pelo referencial metodológico de análise de redes sociais. Resultados: Os resultados apontaram a existência de 37 atores envolvidos no cuidado às pessoas que usam drogas. Foi possível observar diversos setores de justiça e segurança pública que prestavam cuidados diretos ou indiretos aos usuários. Contudo, os resultados indicaram certo distanciamento desses atores no tocante ao desenvolvimento de programas conjuntos e coordenação de casos com outros serviços da rede. Verificou-se, através das métricas investigadas, um baixo grau de interação entre os dispositivos, demonstrando a dificuldade por parte da rede em atuar de forma integrada e construir possibilidades de cuidado conjuntas. Considerações finais: Discute-se a necessidade de maior articulação intersetorial nos níveis de interação analisados neste estudo. Para isso, é preciso pensar em políticas municipais que favoreçam essa “costura” entre os atores.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the social representations of health care of the Mbyá-Guarani ethnic group by multidisciplinary teams from the Special Indigenous Health District in the south coast of Rio Grande do Sul state (Distrito Sanitário Especial Indígena Litoral Sul do Rio Grande do Sul), Brazil. Method: a qualitative method based on the theory of social representations was used. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 20 health workers and by participant observation. The interviews were analyzed with ALCESTE software, which conducts a lexical content analysis using quantitative techniques for the treatment of textual data. Results: there were disagreements in the health care concepts and practices between traditional medicine and biomedicine; however, some progress has been achieved in the area of intermedicality. The ethnic boundaries established between health workers and indigenous peoples based on their representations of culture and family, together with the lack of infrastructure and organization of health actions, are perceived as factors that hinder health care in an intercultural context. Conclusion: a new basis for the process of indigenous health care needs to be established by understanding the needs identified and by agreement among individuals, groups, and health professionals via intercultural exchange.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the constituent services of the network to combat violence against rural women in municipalities in the northwestern region of Rio Grande do Sul and to analyze the articulation and communication of services in search of the resolution of situations of violence. Method: descriptive-exploratory, qualitative study, carried out through semi-structured interviews with 26 professionals from intersectoral services, as well as managers and/or those responsible for these services. Data were systematized through content analysis. Results: although the professionals collectively discuss and plan coping actions, difficulties were identified in the approximation between services, related to the definition of flow, knowledge of actions/referrals, fear of seeing and reporting violence, understanding that it is not a question of demand of their field of action, and women's access to services. Final considerations: it is evident the need to implement public policies that address the singularities of violence against women in rural settings.

Abstract The presence of catfish of the Ariidae family in the list of endangered species of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), as from 2014, led to forbidding fishing two species of this family. Thus, artisanal fisherfolk lost a significant part of their income, causing conflicts between them and the fishing authorities in RS. This work aims mainly to understand the Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) of the artisanal fisherfolk of the North Coast of RS regarding the ecology and taxonomy of catfish of the Ariidae family, seeking to relate it to the establishment of the fishing regulations in force in the State. 33 semi-structured interviews were made with artisanal fisherfolk. The interviewees perceive differences among the region ethnospecies; hardly ever are they consulted during the fishing regulations establishment process. Considering the aforementioned aspects, the artisanal fisherfolk LEK on catfish can be an important tool in the participatory management of catfish fishing.

Resumo: A população idosa tem aumentado em âmbito mundial, particularmente no Rio Grande do Sul. Atualmente grande parte desses indivíduos precisa de algum tipo de ajuda para realizar tarefas simples do dia-a-dia. O presente estudo objetivou conhecer os senti mentos do idoso em relação à possibilidade de dependência física, identificando as atividades realizadas para evitá-la ou retardá-la. A pesquisa descritiva com enfoque qualitativo contou com a participação de 10 idosas frequentadoras do Programa Maior Idade, em São Leopoldo, que não possuíam dependência física e tinham mais de 68 anos de idade. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada e interpretados pela análise de conteúdo contido nas falas das pesquisadas. Os resultados mostraram que a possibilidade de dependência física acarreta sentimentos de frustração e inutilidade, levando ao afastamento do convívio social, enquanto que a independência leva a sensação de autonomia e satisfação pela vida. Atividade física, lazer e cuidados com a alimentação foram citados como responsáveis pela sensação de bem-estar e por evitar ou retardar a dependência física.Conclui-se que a dependência física gera diminuição na qualidade de vida do idoso e pode ser evitada ou reduzida através da adoção de um estilo de vida saudável. Palavras-chave: Idoso Fragilizado; Qualidade de Vida; Estilo de Vida. Abstract:  The elderly population has increased worldwide, particularly in Rio Grande do Sul.

Resumo: Neste artigo, analisam-se os resultados de uma oficina pedagógica voltada às âncoras de carreira. Os participantes foram 79 professores da educação básica do município de Nova Palma, RS. O trabalho foi  desenvolvido no contexto de formação continuada,  no período 2013-2014, em parceria universidade-escola. Os dados foram coletados por meio de um questionário elaborado por Schein (1996), denominado Inventário de Âncoras de Carreira e que se constitui em um mapeamento de oito âncoras ou inclinações profissionais. A âncora de carreira ‘serviço e dedicação a uma causa’ (VS) foi identificada como primeira e segunda âncora em todos os grupos e, em terceiro lugar, a âncora ‘estilo de vida’ (EV). A análise da primeira e segunda âncora indica que, na concepção desses profissionais, o magistério ainda está vinculado ao cumprimento de uma missão filantrópica, de abnegação e renúncia. Palavras-chave: Âncoras de carreira. Profissão docente. Educação Básica. MAPPING CAREER ANCHORS AMONG BASIC EDUCATION TEACHERS: POSSIBLE EFFECTS ON TRAINING AND PERFORMANCEAbstract: This paper analyzes the results of an educational workshop that focused on career anchors. The participants included 79 basic education teachers who work in the municipality of Palma Nova, which is located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The study was developed within the continuing education framework from 2013 to 2014 by means of a university-school partnership. Data were collected through a questionnaire developed by Schein (1996), which is known as Inventory of Career Anchors. Such a questionnaire aimed at mapping eight anchors or professional choices. Among the career anchors identified, service and dedication to a cause was the first as well as the second anchor in all groups analyzed, and lifestyle was the third one. The analysis of the first and second anchors, according to these professionals’ beliefs, shows that the profession of teaching is still associated with the idea of fulfilling a philanthropic mission, self-sacrifice and relinquishment. Keywords: Career Anchors. Teaching profession. Basic education.
