Introdução: A propagação do SARS-CoV-2 pelo mundo trouxe desafios aos serviços de saúde e cobrou esforços para o acréscimo de medidas de promoção, prevenção e recuperação da saúde aplicadas ao cuidado comunitário e individual. Somada a isso, a infodemia, o excesso informacional e a manipulação (des)informativa têm o potencial de gerar graves consequências aos indivíduos e à coletividade. Nesse contexto, destaca-se a atuação da Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) em assistir aos sintomáticos, como potencializar ações de promoção e proteção da saúde por meio da educação em saúde. Objetivo: Relatar a construção do Planejamento Estratégico Situacional (PES) realizado por graduandos de Enfermagem durante o estágio na Unidade Básica de Saúde para potencializar as práticas de educação em saúde por membros da equipe à população. Método: Estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, desenvolvido de abril a julho de 2021 com base na construção do PES.Resultados: Desenvolveu-se o PES aplicando-o no enfrentamento à infodemia da Covid-19 na APS em seus quatro momentos distintos: explicativo, normativo, estratégico e tático-operacional. Conclusão: A partir dessa experiência, os estudantes de enfermagem construíram aprendizados relacionados à observação, comunicação efetiva, organizaçãoe importância do trabalho em equipe; tal qual, possibilitou vivências práticas em relação ao vínculo com a comunidade, integralidade do cuidado e desenho de uma alternativa capazde intensificar o combate à pandemia da Covid-19. Palavras chave: Covid-19, Atenção primária à saúde, Estudantes de enfermagem, Relações comunidade-instituição ABSTRACT Introduction: The spread of SARS-CoV-2 around the world brought challenges to health services and demanded efforts to increase health promotion, prevention and recovery  measures applied to community and individual care. Added to this, infodemia, informational excess and (un) informative manipulation have the potential to generate serious consequences for individuals and the community. In this context, the role of Primary Health Care (PHC) in assisting the symptomatic stands out, such as enhancing health promotion and protection actions through health education. Objective: To report the construction of theSituational Strategic Planning (SSP) carried out by nursing students during their internship at the Basic Health Unit to enhance the health education practices by team members to the population. Method: Descriptive study, of the experience report type, developed from April to July 2021 based on the SSP. Results: The SSP was developed applying it to confront Covid-19’s infodemia in the PHC in its four distinct moments: explanatory, normative, strategicand tactical-operational. Conclusion: This study presented the SSP as a usable strategy in confronting Covid-19’s infodemia in PHC. From this experience, nursing studentsbuilt learning related to observation, effective communication, organization and importance of teamwork; as such, it enabled practical experiences in relation to the bond with the community, comprehensive care and design of an alternative capable of intensifying the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.Keywords: Covid-19, Primary health care, Nursing students, Community-institution relations

Prevention And Health Promotion

Health reform is increasingly targeted towards strengthening and expansion of primary health systems as care is shifted from hospitals to communities. The renewed emphasis on prevention and health promotion is intended to curb the tide of chronic disease and sustain effective chronic disease management, as well as address health inequities and increase affordable access to services. Given the scope of nurses’ practice, the success of Australia’s health system reforms are dependent on a nursing workforce that is appropriately educated and prepared for practice in community settings. This article reports on the results of an Australian national audit of all undergraduate nursing curricula to examine the extent of professional socialisation and educational preparation of nurses for primary health care. The results of the audit are compared with Australian nursing standards associated with competency in primary health care. The findings indicate that Australian nursing competencies are general in their approach to skills and knowledge, not specifying any particular competencies for primary health care, while undergraduate student preparation for practice in primary health and community settings is patchy and not keeping pace with reform agendas that promote expanded roles for nurses in primary health care, prevention and health promotion. The implication for nursing curriculum reform is that attention to achieving nursing graduate capacity for primary health care and health promotion is a priority.

This paper explores policy documents published as part of the National Mental Health Strategy for ideas about mental health promotion and prevention, to determine the extent to which these documents adopt a primary health care approach. Discourse analysis was undertaken of key policy documents to discover the manner in which they discuss mental health promotion and prevention. Three points of departure are identified. The first of these is a focus on social and biological risk factors that manifest at an individual rather than at a social level, effectively drawing attention away from social inequalities. These documents also primarily target a population that is viewed as being "at risk" due to exposure to risk factors, shifting attention from strategies aimed at improving the health of the population as a whole. A final difference is found in the understanding of primary health care. Recent policy documents equate primary health care with the first level of service delivery in the community, primarily by general practitioners, shifting the focus of care from mental health promotion with the community to early intervention with those experiencing mental health problems. This is supported by the incorporation of a biomedical understanding into mental health prevention. While recent mental health policy documents re-assert the need for early intervention and health prevention, the form of mental health prevention espoused in these documents differs from that which informed the Declaration of Alma Alta, Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion and World Health Organization's Health for All strategy.

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the activities of clinical nature developed by pharmacists in basic health units and their participation in educational activities aiming at health promotion. METHODS: This article is part of the Pesquisa Nacional sobre Acesso, Utilização e Promoção do Uso Racional de Medicamentos – Serviços, 2015 (PNAUM – National Survey on Access, Use and Promotion of Rational Use of Medicines – Services, 2015), a cross-sectional and exploratory study, of evaluative nature, consisting of a survey of information in a representative sample of cities, stratified by the Brazilian regions that constitute domains of study, and a subsample of primary health care services. The interviewed pharmacists (n=285) were responsible for the delivery of medicines and were interviewed in person with the use of a script. The characterization of the activities of clinical nature was based on information from pharmacists who declared to perform them, and on participation in educational activities aiming at health promotion, according to information from all pharmacists. The results are presented in frequency and their 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: From the interviewed subjects, 21.3% said they perform activities of clinical nature. Of these, more than 80% considered them very important; the majority does not dispose of specific places to perform them, which hinders privacy and confidentiality in these activities. The main denominations were “pharmaceutical guidance” and “pharmaceutical care.” The registration of activities is mainly made in the users’ medical records, computerized system, and in a specific document filed at the pharmacy, impairing the circulation of information among professionals. Most pharmacists performed these activities mainly along with physicians and nurses; 24.7% rarely participated in meetings with the health team, and 19.7% have never participated. CONCLUSIONS: Activities of clinical nature performed by pharmacists in Brazil are still incipient. The difficulties found point out to the professionals’ improvisation and effort. The small participation in educational activities of health promotion indicates little integration of pharmacists with the health team and of pharmaceutical services with other health actions
