This paper reports a study of how babies are fed during their first year of life as practiced by families living in a low-income neighborhood of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and served by the state's Family Health Program. Two families were followed up over a year using the Bick method for the observation of mother-infant relationships. The results showed that although the families appreciated the recommendations of health professionals regarding the need to practice exclusive breastfeeding until the child reached six months, in practice during their first few weeks of life the babies were started on complementary food in addition to breast milk. The mothers made decisions regarding feeding the babies taking into consideration the following: The opinions of a selection of relatives; food availability; ideas about what is suitable for the developing baby; and finally, their observations of the child's responses. The results show that food is part of the mutually imbricated processes of the social construction of the person and the constitution of kinship ties. The conclusion reflects on the implications of these findings for health practices.

Estudo realizado com objetivo de descrever as concepções dos enfermeiros que atuam no Programa Saúde da Família - PSF do município de Cabedelo sobre o processo de trabalho de enfermagem, as características desse processo, e, identificar os aspectos do processo saúde-doença que estes enfermeiros abordam com maior e menor freqüência, no cotidiano de sua prática profissional. Teve referencial teórico nos modelos de assistência à saúde implantados no Brasil, na estratégia do PSF, e, no processo de Trabalho em saúde mental. O referencial metodológico teve inspiração no Materialismo Histórico e Dialético. O material empírico foi coletado por meio de entrevista e analisado através da técnica de análise do discurso. A análise permitiu identificar os saberes e as práticas que orientam o trabalho investigado, auxiliando os sujeitos da investigação a desenvolver ações de enfermagem capazes de subsidiar uma aproximação com a superação das contradições reveladas, para adensar a construção de uma práxis, requerida na atualidade, que responda às necessidades de atenção à saúde mental, no sentido da inclusão social da pessoa com doença mental. O PSF é uma estratégia para a efetivação do Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS e como tal, um instrumento que pode ser empregado no sentido da municipalização das ações de saúde mental, aproximando essa área específica com o SUS e permitindo o avanço do movimento pela Reforma Psiquiátrica na perspectiva de uma de suas diretrizes, a desinstitucionalização da doença e da pessoa com doença mental. The nurse’s praxis in the family health program in attention to mental health care Abstract Study carried out with the objective to describe the conceptions of the nurses who act in the “Family Health Program”PSF of the city of Cabedelo about the process of nursing work, the characteristics of this process, and, to identifythe aspects of the process health-illness that these nurses approach with greater and minor frequency in daily of the practical professional. It had theoretical referencial in the models of assistance to health introduced in Brazil, in the strategy of the PSFand in the process of work in Mental Health, the metodological referencial had inspiration the Materialism Historical and Dialectical. The empirical material was collected by means of interviews and analyzed through the technique of analysis of the speech. The analysis allowed to identify the knowledge and the practical ones that guide the investigated work, assisting the citizens of the inquiry to develop actions of nursing capable to subsidize and approach with the overcoming of the d i s c l o s e d direction of the social inclusion of the person with insanity. The PSF is a strategy for the accomplishment of the only System of Health -SUS and such as a tool that can be used in the direction of gathering the actions of mental health approaching this specific area with SUS and allowing the advance of the movement for the Psychiatric Reform in the perspective of one of its guidelines, the desinstitutionalization of the illness and the person with insanity.

The review presents and systematizes the current provisions on artificial lung ventilation (ALV) with a guaranteed or target tidal volume as the most effective and safe mode of ALV in neonatal practice. The application of this method of respiratory support is described. The authors present the main provisions on the optimal selection of the target tidal volume in various pathological conditions. The use of various modes of ALV in combination with a guaranteed tidal volume makes it possible to prevent or reduce the harmful impact of ALV in patients with acute and chronic lung pathology, in newborns and children in the first year of life.

OBJECTIVES: to survey the prevalence of human papillomavirus, associated risk factors and genotype distribution in women who were referred to cervical cancer screening when attended in a Family Health Program. METHOD: we conducted a cross-sectional survey, investigating 351 women. Polymerase chain reaction for DNA amplification and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis were used to detect and typify the papillomavirus. RESULTS: virus infection was detected in 8.8% of the samples. Among the 21 different genotypes identified in this study, 14 were high risk for cervical cancer, and the type 16 was the most prevalent type. The infection was associated with women who had non-stable sexual partners. Low risk types were associated with younger women, while the high risk group was linked to altered cytology. CONCLUSION: in this sample attended a Family Health Program, we found a low rate of papillomavirus infection. Virus frequency was associated to sexual behavior. However, the broad range of genotypes detected deserves attention regarding the vaccine coverage, which includes only HPV prevalent types.

Objective: To validate the content and appearance of an instrument to evaluate knowledge on healthy feeding. Materials and Methods: Methodological study of validation of content, appeareance with 22 judges, and semantic validation with 12 schoolchildren from 4th and 5th grades in primary school education, ranging in age between nine and ten years. The Scale-Level Content Validity Index (S-CVI) ≥ 0.90 and the Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) ≥ 0.80 were considered approved in the validation. The Binomial test was used through the p value of the proportion (rejecting the H0 if p ≤ 0.80) to select items that should be revised or modified (items validated at significance level ≤ 0.05). Results: The instrument was validated with S-CVI = 0.93 and I-CVI ≥ 0.80 in the 12 items evaluated, with the mean proportion of “non-discordance” among judges = 0.93. The instrument with the suggested modifications was submitted to the target audience and completely approved by all the participating students. Conclusion: This instrument can be used during the health education activities of the School Health Program and the Family Health Program to promote healthy feeding with children between nine and ten years of age.

This article discusses the implementation of the Family Health Program in the municipalities of Camaragibe, Aracaju, São Gonçalo, and the Federal District of Brazil, aiming to identify possible interfaces between the program's shaping and different incentives structures, the local health system's case-resolving capacity, experiences with social participation, and accountability mechanisms. The article shows that aspects related to the constitution of local health systems in terms of the quantitative and qualitative supply of services, technical and management training within the Municipal Health Department, investment in other levels of care, and local political traditions are crucial variables for understanding the diversity of experiences in the implementation of the Family Health Program.

Background: Outdoor workers are exposed to hot work environments and are at risk of heat-related morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of migrant farmworkers about first aid for heat-related illness (HRI) symptoms. Methods: The authors recruited 60 migrant farmworkers out of 66 who were approached from vegetable farms in Georgia. They were workers who participated in the 2018 Farmworker Family Health Program (FWFHP). The authors surveyed the workers to assess demographics, prevalence of HRI symptoms, hydration practices, and knowledge of HRI first aid. Descriptive statistics for worker demographics, HRI symptoms, and hydration data were calculated, as were the percentages of correctly answered pilot questions. Findings: Of the 60 workers who chose to participate in this study, more than 50% incorrectly answered pilot questions related to their knowledge of HRI first aid. The two most common HRI symptoms reported were heavy sweating and muscle cramps. More than two thirds reported experiencing at least one HRI symptom during the workday. Mean liquid consumption within this sample was 72.95 oz per day, which is much less than the recommended 32 oz per hour. Conclusion/Application to Practice: Until larger structural change can occur to protect farmworkers, farm owners can prevent morbidity and mortality from inadequate hydration practices and working in high-heat conditions by providing migrant farmworkers with training in heat-related first aid. Appropriate heat-illness interventions should focus on first aid measures to reduce morbidity and mortality related to heat illness in farmworkers.

From early in life, children help, comfort, and share with other people. Recent research has deepened scientific understanding of the development of prosociality—efforts to promote the welfare of others. In this article, we discuss two key insights about the emergence and early development of prosocial behavior, focusing on the development of helping. First, children’s motivations and capabilities for helping change in quality as well as quantity over the opening years of life. Specifically, helping begins in participatory activities without prosocial intent in the first year of life, becoming increasingly autonomous and motivated by prosocial intent over the second year. Second, helping emerges through bidirectional social interactions starting at birth: Caregivers and other individuals support the development of helping in a variety of ways, and young children play active roles that often influence caregiver behavior. The question now is not whether but how social interactions contribute to the development of prosocial behavior. Recent methodological and theoretical advances provide exciting avenues for future research on the social and emotional origins of human prosociality.

Abstract Background Health inequalities persist, and policymakers, researchers and practitioners seek for effective ways to positively impact the health of disadvantaged people. Researchers point to a multi-component program with an integral design including various perspectives and involving different stakeholders. Few studies address the perspectives on health of disadvantaged people themselves. This study describes what parents in a socially disadvantaged situation and professionals working in that community perceived as 1) priority aspects to improve family health 2) barriers and facilitators for health behaviour changes 3) important health program activities. Methods Design: Community-based participatory action research. 10 parents participated in 6 panel meetings. 46 professionals received 4 panel meetings summaries. 18 parents and 25 professionals responded to questions in (panel) meetings and consultation by phone and e-mail. Results (preliminary) 1) Parents’ top priorities for improving health were: less stress related to finances and communication with related organizations, followed by a safe place for kids to meet. Of the program financers’ aims (reducing tobacco, alcohol use and overweight) reducing overweight got relatively most support of parents. 2) Parents perceived their family financial situation as barrier to behaviours reducing stress and overweight. 3) Program activities related to reducing stress got more support from parents and professionals than activities related to reducing overweight. Conclusions Insight in the perspectives of disadvantaged parents and professionals resulted in a program plan supported by them, aiming to reduce stress and overweight. Most participating parents and professionals committed themselves to invest time in program activities execution. Key messages Disadvantaged parents perceived reducing stress related to finances as top priority to improve family health. They perceived family finances as barrier to behaviours reducing stress and overweight. Community-based participatory action research with disadvantaged parents and professionals can result in an integrated family health program plan with stakeholder support.
