title: SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE, CONDITIONS AND WORKLOADS OF STATE TEACHERS IN A MUNICIPALITY IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL

description: Abstract This study aimed to describe the sociodemographic and economic profile of teachers and analyze their professional characteristics, working conditions and workloads. This is a cross-sectional study of the Pro-Master project. We interviewed 978 primary school and high school teachers of the twenty state schools with more teachers of the city of Londrina/PR, between August 2012 and July 2013. Most of the teachers surveyed were female (68.5%) with mean age of 41.5 years (SD 10). As for professional features, 42.9% worked in up to two places and 64.2% teach at least two shifts. Issues such as remuneration, amount of students per class and infrastructure were reported as negative (bad/regular). In relation to workloads, physical, physiological and mental burdens, for more than half of them, greatly affect their health and working conditions. These factors signaled the working conditions and health of state teachers of Paraná, and can be useful to support the development of public policies to improve these aspects.

title: FAMILY HEALTH STRATEGY AND THE RATIONAL USE OF MEDICATIONS: WORK OF THE COMMUNITY AGENTS OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF PALMAS (TO)

description: Abstract An analysis was made of actions carried out by community health agents regarding community guidance on the rational use of medications in the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Palmas, state of Tocantins, Brazil. This was a descriptive and exploratory study with a quantitative approach, done with 246 agents between January and April 2014. Data were collected via a questionnaire to verify the training and specific information on medications and on the risks of pharmacotherapy in their work. It was noted that 88%of the agents had no training on medications; 75.5% believed they did not have enough knowledge to provide guidance on medications; 80.41% said that the team never discussed topics on medications, and 90.20�lt they needed such training. The study revealed that these professionals sought information from various sources – medication insert leaflets were their main source (71.14%). Among the community health agents, respectively 52.46% and 50% asked for help from the nurse to solve issues and answer questions about pharmacotherapy. Among them, 68.03% considered it important to provide guidance to the families, but they said they need permanent education. There was a clear need for community agent qualification and training in promoting the rational use of medications, considering their role as health promoters in the community.

title: COMMUNITY HEALTH AGENT: FROM THE PROFILE TO ACTIVITIES DONE

description: Abstract Considering the breadth and complexity of the role that community health agents play in the Family Health Strategy, the purpose of the study presented in this article was to get to know the profile and the reality of these professionals' work to contribute to the consolidation of the Unified Health System. This was a quantitative study conducted in ten municipalities with more than 50,000 inhabitants in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, from July 2012 to August 2013. Family health units with complete teams were selected, and a total of 121 community health agents took part in the study. Data were collected through a self-administered structured questionnaire. The results showed that the agents' most frequent activities were home visits, registration updates, team meetings, and follow-up on the priority groups defined by the Ministry of Health. Although many of the agents completed the smart map and the health diagnosis, only 13.2 percent of them identified families at risk, and 14.9 percent surveyed the health issues of their micro-area. Thus, the true purpose of the smart map and of the health diagnosis, or of the agent's participation in the preparation of these instruments was questioned, which could be restricted only to formalize the practice.

title: PANORAMA OF UNDERGRADUATE COLLECTIVE HEALTH COURSES IN BRAZIL BETWEEN 2008 AND 2014

description: Abstract Several undergraduate programs in public health have been created in Brazil since 2008. Previous publications have described the opening process, the student profile, and the experiences these courses have had. Here we present a general profile of courses that were opened between 2008 and 2014. The information was obtained from the Brazilian Association of Public Health's Undergraduate Forum in Public Health Coordination and from the courses' institutional homepages. During the study period, there was a significant increase in the number of undergraduate programs in public health in the country; new job openings grew sixfold, and 285 people got bachelors degrees in public health. In early 2014, there were 18 courses in operation (17 in the public sector), with a total of 2,532 students enrolled. While graduate-level training in public health predominates in the Southeast, undergraduate courses are well spread in the country, although there is a need for further expansion to meet the Unified Health System's demands. Although these courses' training guidelines are similar, there are differences in their nomenclatures. The challenges to be faced in the further consolidation of undergraduate courses in public health as a training modality include the needs of the national curriculum guidelines, the continued expansion of the courses, the professional recognition of the graduates, and their greater incorporation into public health in the labor market.

title: SOCIAL PARTICIPATION, URBAN PLANNING, AND THE PROMOTION OF HEALTH IN CAMPO GRANDE (STATE OF MATO GROSSO DO SUL)

description: Abstract The study presented in this article aimed to analyze social participation in a health promotion initiative carried out in the city of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. This survey was conducted in 2009 based on a qualitative approach involving document analysis, interviews (with managers and technicians), focus groups (regional directors), and content analysis with data triangulation. The views on social participation were not restricted to the experience, since the institutionalization of participation channels in the city and regional urban boards stood out, and they are seen as progress made in the democratic processes and as drivers of the greater involvement of the members of the board in urban planning decisions. However, barriers to democratic exercise were highlighted: The need for training in policy for advisers, the fragility of the population's presence in participatory instances, difficulty in coordinating with the legislative, a lack of knowledge and access to information, difficulties in acting as an adviser, and disbelief in the participatory process, which causes the evasion of leaderships. It was noticed that these collegiate spaces were strengthened and that the leaders in the neighborhoods came around common objectives, forming a growing spiral of participation driven by a network of community support.

title: MIDDLE SCHOOL AND JUVENILE INSERTION IN THE LABOR MARKET

description: Abstract This article discusses the relationship between the insertion of youth in the labor market and their passage through middle school. The central argument is that the recent middle education counter-reform will not guarantee universal opportunities for the completion of basic education, rather promote precarious training in public schools and reinforce the precariousness of youth labor. Methodologically, data were analyzed regarding the passage of youth through the schooling process and their insertion in the labor market. As basic primary sources, analyses were made of data provided by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, in its National Household Sample Survey and Census; of surveys carried out by the Ministry of Labor, specifically data from the General Register of Employed and Unemployed persons and of the Annual Report of Social Information, and of data provided by the Anísio Teixeira National Institute of Educational Studies and Research.

title: GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF TRAINING IN PHYSICAL THERAPY IN BRAZIL: DISORDERED GROWTH AND REGIONAL INEQUALITY

description: Abstract The incredible growth in the number of Physical Therapy schools in Brazil needs to be analyzed. There was a 476 percent increase in the number of courses located in major cities and in private educational institutions between 1995 and 2008. Aiming to analyze the distribution of Physical Therapy schools in the different Brazilian regions, identifying the institutions offering presence and distance education, a quantitative, exploratory, and cross-sectional study was carried out based on secondary data collected from the e-MEC site in 2015. The number of openings and school distribution were listed based on population estimates. Physiotherapy courses are concentrated in large cities, making it difficult for the population in the interior to have access to them. The highest concentration is in the states of São Paulo (239 courses), Minas Gerais (152 courses), and Paraná (120 courses), where most professionals are also located. Course distribution analysis identified the need to invest in opening courses in Northern Brazil. The unbridled growth of Physical Therapy schools, coupled with the lack of criteria for opening new courses in the country, reiterates inequalities in the distribution of professionals.

title: FLEXIBLE WORK ARRANGEMENTS AND THE MEANING OF WORK FOR TEACHERS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN PUBLIC AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS

description: Abstract This article aims to understand the meaning of the work for the higher education teacher in public and private institutions in their various regimes of work flexibility based on the identification of instrumental and subjective rationality elements. The collection of data had multiple sources, such as the documentary analysis of institutions and teachers’ work contracts, direct observation and personal interviews. As a result it was noticed that: there is a preponderance of the substantive meaning of the work on the instrumental sense; the flexibilization alters the perception of individual performance and infers on its substantive sense, and life is arranged from the organization of work flexibilized.

title: FAMILY HEALTH SUPPORT CENTERS: CONCEPTIONS, IMPLICATIONS AND CHALLENGES FOR THE MATRIX SUPPORT

description: Abstract This study intended to analyze the assigned meaning and the contributions of the work of the Family Health Support Centers, as well as the barriers and challenges to the daily practice of matrix support. This is a qualitative study involving multiple cases, which was performed in six cities in Bahia, Brazil. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 43 professionals from the support centers and 40 from the family health teams. We used the theoretical reference of the matrix support in the pedagogical, therapeutic and institutional dimensions. The results were grouped into three categories: (Mis) Understandings about the work of the support centers; Infrastructure and working conditions; Appreciation and management of work. Our study has unveiled divergent understandings among supporters and family health teams about the role of the matrix support process, with conflicting expectations and implications for work. The current infrastructure has proved to be insufficient and inappropriate for the work of matrix support. The little appreciation of the support centers was also highlighted through the low adherence of the community to the collective activities, unsatisfactory wages and excessive workload. Misunderstandings about the innovative nature of matrix support and structural difficulties indicate outstanding challenges for achieving the supportive function.
