This cross-sectional study with 1,249 workers from all 49 municipal primary health care centers was conducted in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina State, Brazil, with the objective of investigating the prevalence of poor self-rated health and its association with working conditions and other factors. Multivariate statistical analyses were conducted using Poisson regression. The prevalence of poor self-rated health was 21.86% (95%CI: 19.56%-24.15%). The largest prevalence was found among dental assistants (35.71%), and the lowest among physicians (10.66%). In the adjusted analysis, the outcome was associated with female gender (PR = 1.48; 95%CI: 1.03-2.14), older age (PR = 1.29; 95%CI: 1.05-1.59), higher education (PR = 0.69; 95%CI: 0.55-0.87), more time working at the primary care center (PR = 1.57; 95%CI: 1.29-1.98), higher workload score (PR = 1.67; 95%CI: 1.35-2.05), obesity (PR = 1.74; 95%CI: 1.37-2.21), and often or always experiencing musculoskeletal symptoms (PR = 2.69; 95%CI: 1.90-3.83). A higher workload score remained associated with the outcome, suggesting an association between working conditions and self-rated health.

Abstract This study regards the experience of implementing a professional internship intended to students of Occupational Therapy in Primary Health Care in a Federal University located in São Paulo State, Brazil. Occupational therapist profession in Brazil was inserted in this level of care to offer specialised support to teams, mainly concerning qualification of care to vulnerable and invisible populations (community, family and cultural aspects), health promotion, encouragement of team work, humanisation in health. Such curricular internship occurs since 2017 to students of the 4th and 5th years of undergraduate course, completing 240 hours. How is the practice programme in Primary Health Care organised in the pedagogic project? Which are the strengths and fragilities of this field, as far as education is concerned? Among the practice scenarios, there are Basic Health Unit, Family Health Strategy teams, Family Health Support Centre, Street Clinic and University Basic Health Unit, with tutors who establish the collaboration. The interns follow individual and group cases, take part in team meetings and actions for team qualification and are also supervised weekly by a professor. Among their strengths, we can list a diversified education, based on the most recent public policies for the level of care that represents the stepping stone to the health system. As well as the access to the occupational therapy professional in this first contact, if the team identifies such necessity. Regarding challenges, there is unawareness about professional practice, difficulty to access work instruments and resources, as well as physical space. We hope this experience can help other educational institutions to implement their practice programmes in and for the health system. Egresses report that enables learning to work in a team in different scenarios. Such strategy aims to form a generalist professional, with criticality regarding challenges and potentialities of Brazilian public health. Key messages This study reports the experience of a professional internship of Occupational Therapy in Primary Health Care, understanding the health system as a scenario for practice, teaching and learning. Educating occupational therapists to this level of care is necessary, in agreement with the attributes of Primary Care.

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to determine the use of primary health care services in individuals diagnosed with cardiovascular diseases and to investigate the relationship between health status and sociodemographic characteristics and health/disease characteristics. METHODS: The sample of this descriptive study consisted of 313 individuals with cardiovascular disease aged 20 years and over who were admitted to a hospital for any reason by haphazard sampling method. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. RESULTS: The mean age of the participants was 59.21 ± 13.52 years. It was seen that 46% of the individuals had hypertensive disease and 88.5% of them had continuous medication. The rate of those who prefer family health care center as the first institution for cardiovascular diseases is 13.4%, and the rate of those who prefer family health care center, as the first institution in case of any health problem is 20.1%. The individuals 89.1% came to the hospital without referral from the family health care center, 16.9% of them found family health care centers inadequate. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: It is seen that cardiovascular patients who apply to the hospital benefit less from primary health care services.

Introdução: O desconhecimento do papel do terapeuta ocupacional na Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS), especialmente na região norte onde a inserção deste profissional é incipiente, pode figurar como entrave à efetivação da interdisciplinaridade e oferta de cuidado aos usuários. Objetivo: Conhecer a percepção dos profissionais de saúde de um Núcleo de Apoio à Saúde da Família (NASF) da região norte do Brasil, acercada atuação do terapeuta ocupacional no âmbito da APS. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo de abordagem qualitativa com 15 profissionais de saúde do NASF-Águas Lindas, localizado no município de Ananindeua, Pará.

Resultados: A caracterização dos participantes da pesquisa demonstrou a precariedade e/ou a inexistência de contrato formal no vínculo dos profissionais deste NASF. A análise de conteúdo gerou três categorias temáticas envolvendo a importância da atuação do terapeuta ocupacional na APS, o conhecimento acerca da inserção do profissional nos programas de saúde e a percepção sobre as ações interdisciplinares envolvendo a Terapia Ocupacional. Conclusão: Diante da análise dos discursos, embora tenha ficado clara a importância da Terapia Ocupacional na APS, notou-se que existem restrições quanto à compreensão, em especial, sobre os propósitos da atuação do terapeuta ocupacional em programas de saúde da APS e no exercício da interdisciplinaridade. AbstractIntroduction: The lack of knowledge about the role of the occupational therapist in Primary Health Care (PHC), especially in the northern region where the insertion of this professional is incipient, may be an obstacle to the effectiveness of interdisciplinarity and offer of care to users.

Self Harm

Abstract. Background: Indigenous Australians experience a suicide rate over twice that of the general population. With nonfatal deliberate self-harm (DSH) being the single most important risk factor for suicide, characterizing the incidence and repetition of DSH in this population is essential. Aims: To investigate the incidence and repetition of DSH in three remote Indigenous communities in Far North Queensland, Australia. Method: DSH presentation data at a primary health-care center in each community were analyzed over a 6-year period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011. Results: A DSH presentation rate of 1,638 per 100,000 population was found within the communities. Rates were higher in age groups 15–24 and 25–34, varied between communities, and were not significantly different between genders; 60% of DSH repetitions occurred within 6 months of an earlier episode. Of the 227 DSH presentations, 32% involved hanging. Limitations: This study was based on a subset of a larger dataset not specifically designed for DSH data collection and assesses the subset of the communities that presented to the primary health-care centers. Conclusion: A dedicated DSH monitoring study is required to provide a better understanding of DSH in these communities and to inform early intervention strategies.
