Abstract The present study aims to discuss the knowledge and practices of Primary Health Care professionals about the modes of disciplinary interaction. It is a descriptive study, with qualitative approach following the methodological proposal of cartography, in which we ran four focus groups with the participation of 33 professionals, among them doctors, nurses and dental surgeons who are part of Family Health teams (FHt). With a cartographic mapping, it was possible to see that the work context of the FHt can be represented by the plan of form, which is affected by the plan of forces, generating interrelationships. From this, the modes of disciplinary interaction emerge as a line of escape, producing new assemblages characterized by the perspectives and proposals listed by the professionals. Through this mapping, the importance of the modes of disciplinary interaction in the FHt practice was evident, mainly as a response to the micropolitics of living labor in health with a focus on lightweight technologies.

The rise of smartphones and the special concern about food in the population, as well as the increase in overweight and obesity and their association with non-communicable diseases, makes it necessary to combine both technology and nutrition disciplines to promote healthy eating patterns.

Additionally, usability study was also performed. METHODS Three focus groups were conducted with 15 primary health care professionals (Family Doctors, Nurses and Public Health and Health Promotion Technicians), Professors and Lectures of Nutrition and Food, expert users (students of the Pharmacy Degree) and Telecommunications Engineers to decide the app design and content. Additionally, for the general and feedback message design a reference model was developed bases in the scientific literature. To evaluate the relevance potential usability, acceptability, credibility, and comprehensibility of the information and interface of the app a pilot testing in a real-life environment with potential users and Health Care Professionals was carried out in four focus groups organized in four different primary health care centers. Participants included forty-two Health Professionals and users. RESULTS The SAlBi educa app developed includes an online dietary record, a self-monitoring tool to evaluate dietary patterns, general and feedback messages and traditional Mediterranean recipe examples. The reference message model included the following characteristics: length of approximately 160 characters, frequency of 1-4 messages/week, simple tone y language, personalized with the user's name and empathic to allow user empowering. More than 60 general and 65 feedback messages were designed following this model. Usability study showed that 91.7% of the participants find SAlBi educa stimulating and easy to use (87.1% of volunteers). It is worth noting that 92.3% of volunteers stated that both general and tailored nutrition messages are clear, useful (100%), relevant (97.4%) and the 86.1% agree that they have the potential to persuade people to improve their diet and physical activity.

Abstract This study aimed to examine and describe the perceptions of health professionals and managers about the main phenomena that influence resource allocation in primary health care. Adopting a qualitative approach, the field research was carried out in ten municipalities in Minas Gerais and involved eleven focus groups, six interviews and two semi-structured questionnaires in 2014 and 2015, and nine focus groups and five interviews in 2018, in which participated a total of 133 health professionals and managers. Other sources of evidence were also included, such as non-participating observations, photographs and documents from the Minas Gerais State Health Secretariat and the Ministry of Health. Based on the content analysis, eight categories of phenomena that influence resource allocation in PHC were obtained, derived from daily interactions between the population and health professionals and managers. Our findings show that primary health care is in a process of institutional change, dependent on the validity of actors and institutions, at different institutional levels. Among the determining factors affecting resource allocation in PHC, the main ones are the agency of the actors involved, the health service flow, the private sector, the medical corporatism, the influence of politicians, the municipal management capability, the infrastructure and groups of specific individuals.
