title: Public interest in health: contributions to an ethical-political agenda

description: Abstract Background The legal expression 'public interest' has been often used in health debates, especially in related legislation; however, there is still a conceptual imprecision surrounding this theme, which requires contextualization. Objective This study aimed to analyze the meanings attributed to the term 'public interest', in the health context, in publications of the journal Saúde em Debate , linked to the Brazilian Center for Health Studies (CEBES). Method Qualitative study conducted through documentary search from 1985 to 2000. Results Redemocratization and social justice are the central themes discussed by authors regarding Public Interest. Conclusion In view of the challenges faced in the current Brazilian political scenario, reflection on public interest in health should go beyond the limits of democracy, and it is necessary to discuss the roles of the State, Government, and Civil Society, as well as to overcome the condition of the subalternity assumed by the Brazilian population before the State.

title: Health professionals’ attitude toward suicidal behavior

description: Abstract Background Suicide and suicide attempts occupy a prominent place among diseases affecting the population due to their great impact on family, psychosocial and economy. Health professionals’ attitudes are important since their knowledge and view about suicide can significantly influence their behavior toward patients. Objective To verify the attitudes of health care professionals towards the suicidal patients. Method This is a cross-sectional study in which we applied the Suicide Behavior Attitude Questionnaire to health care professionals in the city of Barbacena, Minas Gerais. Results The majority of the sample was represented by health agents, female, age between 30 and 39 years, with average level of education. Doctors and nurses had the most positive attitudes when compared to other professionals. There were no significant differences in attitudes regarding gender and age of participants. Conclusion The results indicated that nursing technicians and health agents presented more negative attitudes when compared to doctors and nurses. This is a relevant fact and should be taken into account by the training programs. The training of professionals should contemplate cognitive skills and changes in attitudes that may favor the empathy and understanding of these behaviors.

title: Postpartum depression in women who survived severe maternal morbidity

description: Abstract Background Severe maternal morbidity is increasingly known as a useful indicator of the safety and quality of maternal care, and may affect the mother´s mental health. Objective To evaluate the relationship between severe maternal morbidity (near miss) and symptoms of postpartum depression. Method Descriptive study of prospective cohort. The sample consisted of a total of 549 puerperal women from two public maternity hospitals in the state of Sergipe. We applied the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to identify the prevalence of postpartum depression. The statistical analysis was performed using chi-square test of U-Mann-Whitney and the Spearman rank correlation coefficient, with significance level of α ≤ 0.05%. Results 156 (56%) of the mothers exposed to severe maternal obesity, and 45 (17%) of the non-exposed mothers showed a strong association and greater chance (ORC: 24.0; 95% CI: 7.23-79.7) to develop postpartum depression. Conclusion Severe maternal morbidity has a negative impact on women's mental health, and increases the vulnerability to mental illness. It is fundamental for the quality of maternal and child care to implement public policies that ensure prevention and coping strategies.

title: Oral health of elderly people living in a rural community of slave descendants in Brazil

description: Abstract Background Oral health has an important impact on quality of life and should be an integral part of the overall health of the individual. Quilombolas, afro-descendants communities, live in difficult-access rural areas and with several obstacles on the use of health services. Objective This study is aimed to analyse the oral health conditions of the older Quilombola population in the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and the main limitations faced by these communities regarding public health services' access. Method This study evaluated the oral health of elderly Quilombola population in the North of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The study's population consisted in 669 Quilombolas, aged 65 to 74 years old, residing in 33 Quilombola rural communities that are located in 20 different counties of Brazil. Examinations and interviews were conducted in the houses of the elderly people surveyed for the assessment of oral health condition, analysing the use of dental health services, objective conditions (clinical) and subjective conditions (reported). Results Most of the interviewees were self-declared black, female, illiterate and living below the minimum wage. More than 50% of the elderly Quilombola- population interviewed were edentulous and only 17% used total prosthesis. The smiling was the main impact of oral condition reported by them in everyday life. Conclusion The analysis provided by this study exposes the impact of overlooked oral health conditions in minority populations as Quilombolas and reinforces the need of public investments in those vulnerable communities.

title: Relationships between quality of care characteristics directed to hypertensive and diabetic patients of the Family Health Strategy and the control of prognostic factors for complications

description: Abstract Background Although the Family Health Strategy (FHS) is designed to meet the requirements of care for patients with chronic diseases, it appears that in practice, the control of arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus remains unsatisfactory. Objective The objective was to assess if quality of care influenced the control of prognostic factors of complications in subjects with hypertension or diabetes enrolled in the FHS in Pernambuco. Method This is a cross-sectional study on a random sample of 1607 hypertensive and diabetic subjects enrolled with the FHS in 35 municipalities in the state of Pernambuco. Quality of care was evaluated by “accessibility”, “services available”, “services provided” and “satisfaction”. The relationships with control of prognostic factors were sought using the chi-square test. Results The practice of physical activity was the outcome that was most closely linked to quality of care; on the other hand, quality of care was not found associated with smoking cessation. The relationship between quality of care and control of weight, blood pressure or diabetes were nonexistent or paradoxical. Conclusion Good quality of care may have a positive impact on the practice of physical activity by hypertensive or diabetic subjects.
