A pesquisa qualitativa em pedagogia do esporte conquistou reconhecimento acadêmico, mas ainda pairam dúvidas sobre sua aleatoriedade, subjetividade e falta de rigor com base na ética do/a pesquisador/a. Defendemos, apoiado em reflexões filosóficas, posição favorável à busca por rigorosidade metodológica na pesquisa qualitativa, porém, nossa posição não se baseia na cisão, mas no diálogo possível entre as premissas positivistas que sustentam a busca por rigorosidade e a possibilidade de plenon envolvimento do/a pesquiador/a com o campo de pesquisa. Diante deste contexto, apresentamos os nossos esforços na condução de um estudo de pós-graduação sobre competições de jovens, apresentando os caminhos metodológicos percorridos em busca de validação e confiabilidade dos procedimentos de coleta de informações e tratamento analítico a dados qualitativos.

O estudo retoma teoricamente o potencial da narrativa e sua contribuição como percurso metodológico em pesquisas qualitativas no campo da análise de políticas educacionais no Brasil. O objetivo é situar a metodologia narrativa de pesquisa em educação na análise de políticas públicas, enfatizando o seu uso para compreender a conexão entre a dimensão dos sujeitos na sua relação com o contexto e a dimensão coletiva nas estratégias de ação em um programa ou prática organizacional. A narrativa, em consonância com Rodrigues e Prado (2015), Serodio e Prado (2017), e Prado, Soligo e Simas (2022), é uma prática discursiva que viabiliza a atribuição de sentido às experiências e vivências que emergem do cotidiano do trabalho na área da educação. Dado seu caráter dialógico e de valorização da subjetividade, a pesquisa narrativa é marcada por produções onde o pesquisador ou a pesquisadora falam com os sujeitos e a partir deles, caminhando na direção da superação da dicotomia sujeito-objeto. Interpreta-se que a pesquisa narrativa no campo das políticas públicas educacionais possibilita um conjunto relevante de perspectivas a se relacionar com o problema político, contemplando os elementos singulares que configuram as histórias, com os quais a realidade, ela própria, se modifica.

A educação brasileira para estudantes com deficiência foi marcada por processos de exclusão pautados em modelos estigmatizantes de compreensão da deficiência. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar os discursos de pessoas com deficiência acerca do seu acesso e permanência ao ensino superior. Foi uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa. As informações foram obtidas por meio de entrevistas narrativas com 16 participantes e diário de campo e analisadas a partir da análise de discurso na perspectiva da psicologia histórico-cultural. Os resultados apontam para a presença de barreiras no acesso e permanência na graduação e especialmente na pós-graduação e para a intersecção da deficiência com raça e classe como um importante elemento a ser considerado pelas políticas públicas de inclusão.

Objetivou-se identificar o efeito de uma intervenção educativa alimentar e nutricional com o emprego de uma telenovela junto a frequentadores dos restaurantes populares de Belo Horizonte/MG. Trata-se de uma intervenção com 4 oficinas envolvendo 14 frequentadores de dois restaurantes populares de Belo Horizonte/MG. A coleta de dados deu-se por meio de gravação das oficinas. Os diálogos transcritos foram analisados pela técnica da Análise de Conteúdo temático-categorial, proposta por Bardin. Após a transcrição das falas, seguiu-se a leitura individualizada de cada depoimento, em que emergiram as seguintes categorias: 1) Telenovela: cenas, personagens e ambiente; (2) Alimentação Adequada e Saudável: dúvidas e conhecimentos trazidos; (3) Dificuldades, reflexões e intenções de mudanças na alimentação; e (4) Telenovela como estratégia educativa: aprendizado e possibilidades de ampliação. Concluiu-se que a intervenção educativa, mediada pela telenovela, marcou e afetou os participantes pela intensidade das sensações e emoções produzidas. Além disso, auxiliou na compreensão da realidade objetiva, incidiu sobre a dimensão subjetiva e traduziu-se em uma estratégia potente para superar as dificuldades inerentes às práticas educativas tradicionais, superficiais e fragmentadas, ainda presentes na atualidade.

Esta pesquisa é de cunho qualitativo e, a partir da aplicação da Teoria Fundamentada nos Dados (TFD) – na perspectiva de Strauss e Corbin – teve como objetivo analisar as percepções de estudantes surdos sobre seu processo de escolarização ao narrarem suas experiências na Educação Básica. Esta investigação se justifica tendo em vista que, no Brasil, apesar de existirem leis e políticas públicas que reconhecem o direito linguístico da população surda quanto à Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) e à uma educação bilíngue, ainda existem barreiras e dificuldades para os surdos terem acesso a uma educação de qualidade, como a escassez de currículo e práticas pedagógicas contextualizadas com suas necessidades educativas especiais. Foram coletados relatos de quatro pessoas surdas, com idades entre 20 e 25 anos, a partir de rodas de conversa realizadas em 2019, promovidas pelo Núcleo de Educação e Diversidade na Amazônia/NEDAM-UFRA, em Belém-PA. Como resultados, obteve-se as macros categorias ‘Escolas e perspectivas de aprendizagem’, ‘Preencher as lacunas da aprendizagem’ e ‘Da dependência à busca pela autonomia’, para explicar o fenômeno ‘Vivência de surdos na Educação Básica’. Os dados demonstraram que a escola regular foi o ambiente em que as maiores dificuldades foram experenciadas pelos estudantes surdos, no qual o tipo de acessibilidade oferecido foi determinante para a criação de estratégias. Grande parte das dificuldades afetou o contato dos estudantes com a Libras, o aprendizado da língua portuguesa assim como a autonomia e independência destes sujeitos – tendo impacto, também, na formação de suas identidades.

Resumo O estudo objetivou compreender os significados atribuídos à saúde do trabalhador (ST) pelos profissionais de saúde do Núcleo Ampliado de Saúde da Família e Atenção Básica (Nasf-AB), bem como seus desdobramentos na produção de cuidados na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Entrevistas feitas com 13 profissionais de diferentes áreas, que foram exploradas com base na Análise do Discurso. Emergiram sentidos do trabalho como gerador de agravos e aqueles relacionados com os Determinantes Sociais de Saúde (DSS). Por intermédio das ações do Nasf-AB sobre o trabalho/trabalhador, foi possível visualizar o quanto essa equipe funciona como filtro das tensões produzidas por usuários, equipes de saúde da família e gestão. O discurso do trabalho como produtor de agravos ainda é predominante; contudo, a percepção do trabalho como DSS produz aberturas para que esses profissionais possam agir na clínica ampliada como técnicos de referência em ST.

Resumo Objetivo Compreender os significados atribuídos pela pessoa idosa com Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica (DPOC) em uso da Oxigenoterapia Domiciliar Prolongada (ODP) referente ao relacionamento amoroso e a prática sexual. Método Estudo qualitativo, no qual foram realizadas sete entrevistas semidirigidas com pacientes com diagnóstico confirmado de DPOC e em uso de ODP, atendidos em serviço ambulatorial. A técnica de análise de conteúdo foi aplicada com o apoio do software WebQDA 2.0®. Os critérios COREQ foram usados para relatar o método e o resultado. Resultados Duas categorias emergiram: 1- Desestabilização no relacionamento amoroso e na vida sexual do usuário de ODP: revelou que a terapia causa perturbação nos relacionamentos, mudança de parceiro depois que foi prescrita a ODP ou até a ideia de procurar uma pessoa extraconjugal. 2- Vivência e significados da DPOC e da oxigenoterapia durante a relação sexual: o sofrimento com as questões fisiológicas, o quanto o paciente sente falta de ar para ter relação sexual e o impacto disso no desempenho e na frequência, diminuindo esses momentos com o parceiro Conclusão A percepção da pessoa idosa com DPOC em uso da ODP indica que a oxigenoterapia impactou sobre a prática sexual e nos relacionamentos amorosos. Ter boa qualidade nos relacionamentos e na prática sexual é condição fundamental para promover a saúde.

Na década de 1980, com o Movimento da Reforma Psiquiátrica, iniciou-se o debate sobre novos paradigmas de cuidado em saúde mental. O presente artigo, que foi elaborado para a conclusão da especialização em Saúde Mental Coletiva, na forma de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde, pela Escola de Saúde Pública do Ceará, teve como objetivo compreender a concepção dos profissionais do Centro de Atenção Psicossocial de um município do interior do estado do Ceará sobre a oferta de serviços preconizada pela Política Nacional de Saúde Mental, Álcool e outras Drogas. Como critério metodológico, utilizou-se a metodologia qualitativa de pesquisa, recorrendo-se às entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial do município de Iguatu, Ceará, para contemplar o enfoque do trabalho. Para análise das entrevistas, contou-se com o referencial teórico de pesquisadores do campo da Saúde Mental. Ao final do estudo, percebeu-se que muito se avançou e muito ainda há para caminhar na Política de Saúde Mental do município. Para tanto, os profissionais, mergulhados na extensa demanda que chega aos Centro de Atenção Psicossocial, precisariam se organizar, perceber que fazem ou acabam reforçando práticas que não convêm com o que pregam os princípios de emancipação e liberdade dos usuários.

Objetivo: Compreender as percepções maternas acerca do diagnóstico de Síndrome de Down (SD) de seus filhos quando crianças. Método: Estudo exploratório-descritivo com abordagem qualitativa realizado com 9 mães de crianças com SD em um hospital público de nível terciário no município de São Paulo. A coleta dos dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas individuais e semiestruturadas, guiadas por roteiro de tópicos. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise temática de conteúdo e à luz dos princípios de ancoragem e objetivação da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Resultados: Os dados foram analisados e emergiram duas categorias principais: 1) as percepções maternas em relação à comunicação do diagnóstico de SD do filho; e 2) as percepções maternas acerca do impacto do diagnóstico de SD do filho, com subcategorias interligadas. Conclusão: Constatou-se manejo predominantemente inadequado dos profissionais ao comunicarem o diagnóstico de SD, o que potencializou as reações emocionais de sofrimento, que não se restringiram ao momento da notícia. As reações podem ser amenizadas ou potencializadas com a vivência da maternagem e com interações familiares, sociais e com profissionais de saúde.

O estudo busca promover o debate acerca do ensino de métodos qualitativos de pesquisa a partir de uma vivência etnográfica. Trata-se de uma investigação teórico-empírica em que foi realizado um estudo envolvendo a experiência dos doutorandos em uma prática de observação etnográfica em um estabelecimento comercial. Após a vivência, as percepções dos doutorandos foram sistematizadas em áreas temáticas; destaca-se que a proposta etnográfica vivencial se configurou como uma estratégia para estimular o ensino da etnografia, uma vez que os doutorandos tiveram a oportunidade de aproximar-se do fenômeno de estudo e identificar possíveis elementos que são característicos do referido método.

Introdução: conhecer as implicações da pandemia COVID-19 na humanização do cuidado em duas maternidades públicas no Sul do Brasil na perspectiva da equipe multiprofissional em saúde. Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa realizada com 16 profissionais de saúde que atuavam em maternidades públicas durante a pandemia da COVID-19. A coleta de dados foi realizada de abril a junho de 2021 por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. As entrevistas foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas tematicamente. Resultados: os profissionais de saúde apresentaram preocupação em se adaptar ao contexto da pandemia, sem perder o foco na humanização da assistência. Foram necessárias mudanças nas maternidades que comprometeram a implementação das boas práticas, como a restrição à presença do acompanhante e a separação entre mãe-bebê no caso de pacientes com COVID-19. Conclusão: as restrições impostas pela pandemia foram necessárias naquele contexto, pois existiam muitas dúvidas sobre como intervir na atenção ao parto e puerpério, entretanto afetaram diversas conquistas em relação à humanização do cuidado, limitando os direitos individuais em prol de interesses coletivos.

O Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias com Tema é um mediador que vem sendo utilizado em várias pesquisas sobre imaginários coletivos que tomam a psicologia psicanalítica concreta como referencial teórico-metodológico. Assim, justifica-se o objetivo do presente texto de apresentar os fundamentos teórico-metodológicos desse tipo de recurso. Para tanto, o artigo está organizado em três seções. Na primeira, discorre sobre as diversas possibilidades por meio das quais a psicanálise vem sendo vinculada à pesquisa qualitativa, com vistas a situar o trabalho com o Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias com Tema nesse leque de alternativas. Na segunda, apresenta, detalha e fundamenta o próprio procedimento, dedicando atenção ao processo de definição do tema a ser solicitado. Na terceira, apresenta material de pesquisa para ilustrar as questões que compõem a segunda parte do artigo.

Objetivo: compreender os significados da vivência da mulher na sexualidade após o parto vaginal. Método: estudo fenomenológico heideggeriano realizado com 14 mulheres através de entrevista aberta audiogravada, constituindo as unidades de significação e a compreensão vaga e mediana. Resultados: a maioria delas decidiu pelo parto vaginal, mas não recebeu informação sobre ele e nem sobre a vida sexual após. A vivência delas significou ter levado um tempo para o sexo ficar normal ou até mesmo não sentir diferença; não ter tido problemas com a sexualidade e com o corpo; não se importar com os tabus e não se confirmar o que muitas pessoas falavam. Considerações finais: A vivência da sexualidade/vida sexual após o parto se mostrou de forma positiva, apesar do puerpério ser um momento de diversas adaptações, contrariando o que se ouve culturalmente falar, de que a atividade sexual piora após o parto vaginal. Assim, reafirma-se o compromisso do cuidado holístico na saúde e nos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos das mulheres desde o pré-natal ao pós-parto com a atuação da enfermagem obstétrica. A contribuição para a prática é fortalecer a atuação da enfermagem obstétrica, visto que há fragilidades na assistência prestada às gestantes e puérperas pelo enfermeiro generalista e/ou o médico nas unidades de saúde, enquanto que a saúde sexual e reprodutiva das mulheres é um dos pilares da atenção integral da enfermagem obstétrica.

Objetivo: Analisar eventos de risco associados ao comportamento suicida em indivíduos atendidos em emergência geral. Métodos: Pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, abordagem qualitativa. Coleta de dados entre dezembro de 2017 e novembro de 2019, com pessoas que tentaram o suicídio, por meio de entrevista com questionário semiestruturado. Dados analisados com Análise de Conteúdo temático. Resultados: Entrevistadas 113 participantes, 86 (76,1%) do sexo feminino, 57 (50,4%) na faixa etária entre 18 e 30 anos, 103 (91,2%) heterossexuais, 49 (43,4%) solteiros. Conforme a análise dos dados, o conteúdo foi agrupado em uma categoria com quatro unidades temáticas que deram ênfase às relações familiares traumáticas, presença de histórico de experiências traumáticas para além da família, condições socioeconômicas e comportamento impulsivo e a percepção de inexistência de fatores de proteção. Sabe-se que no comportamento suicida há interferência das relações com familiares, com amigos e com outras pessoas com as quais haja relacionamento afetivo importante, de forma que o bom vínculo familiar assume papel de proteção ao comportamento suicida, enquanto vínculos familiares conflituosos são potenciais fatores de risco. Considerações finais: Resultados revelaram a experiência da multiplicidade de eventos que influenciaram a decisão pelo suicídio, ênfase para relações afetivas e familiares prejudicadas e experiências traumáticas.

Introdução: Pacientes com cânceres ósseos representam uma população singular com necessidades psicossociais pouco estudadas. Objetivo: Compreender o processo e o impacto da reinserção social para a vida cotidiana de adolescentes e adultos jovens após o tratamento e seguimento oncológico de cânceres ósseos. Método: Pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória, utilizando referencial metodológico da tradição hermenêutica com produção de dados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com 12 sobreviventes de cânceres ósseos. Resultados: O material empírico foi organizado em três categorias: Reinserção social na família, Reinserção social na escola e Inserção na vida sociolaboral. Os desafios da reinserção social na família, escola e vida laboral de adolescentes e adultos jovens após o tratamento de câncer ósseo envolvem um complexo sentido de enfrentamento dos estigmas e limitações impostas pela doença e seu tratamento. Conclusão: As percepções e experiências dos sobreviventes ao câncer ósseo apontam para a vida social como um lugar de desafios e incertezas, perdas e lutos. É de extrema importância a existência de apoio multiprofissional especializado, assim como apoios familiar e social, para que esse grupo consiga suportes material e humano para enfrentar as mudanças decorrentes do tratamento oncológico.

Resumo: Introdução: A construção da identidade médica (IM) é fenômeno dinâmico influenciado por fatores relacionados ao estudante, ao ambiente educacional e à sociedade. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo sintetizar o conhecimento produzido a respeito dos aspectos referentes ao estudante na construção da IM. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa de estudos empíricos publicados em periódicos indexados na MEDLINE e LILACS, utilizando a expressão medical identity e os descritores identity crisis, social identification, physician’s role e professional role. Os critérios de inclusão foram: textos completos disponíveis em português, espanhol, francês ou inglês de estudos empíricos sobre fatores que influenciam na formação da IM com foco nos aspectos relacionados ao estudante e tendo médicos ou estudantes de graduação em Medicina como participantes. Resultado: Na primeira etapa, identificaram-se 1.365 artigos. Foram triados 194 artigos para leitura em profundidade. Destes, incluíram-se 18 para análise temática com classificação em categorias em diálogo com a literatura, tendo como base o conceito de IM saudável. A maioria dos artigos foi publicada na última década. Identificaram-se três categorias: expectativa versus realidade, referente ao que o estudante pensa sobre o que um médico é ou deveria ser; médico “super-herói”, relativa à percepção caricaturada da medicina criada pelos próprios alunos e oferecida pela sociedade por meio de programas, séries e filmes televisivos; e modelagem de papéis, que diz respeito à importância da experiência prática do estudante supervisionada por um preceptor ou docente. A IM construída ao longo do curso médico influencia na forma como a medicina é exercida e, quando ela não é congruente com a realidade que o recém-formado encontra, provoca sofrimento no médico e interfere na atuação profissional dele. Conclusão: Instituições de ensino, professores e preceptores devem estar atentos às expectativas e às idealizações de seus alunos sobre o que é ser um médico e o papel desse profissional na sociedade, de maneira a promover intervenções que auxiliem em uma construção identitária mais saudável e mais resiliente às intempéries peculiares à profissão médica.

O presente artigo, de natureza teórica, tem como objetivo apresentar e discutir uma das propostas metodológicas mais utilizadas e difundidas no interior da tradição fenomenológica no campo das pesquisas qualitativas em psicologia, que é o método desenvolvido por Amadeo Giorgi e fundamentado na fenomenologia de Edmund Husserl. O intuito será demarcar as possibilidades de realização desse método, bem como discutir alguns de seus alcances e limites. Ao final, o texto traz algumas indicações de que a perspectiva hermenêutica parece oferecer uma possibilidade mais ampla e historicamente situada acerca do fenômeno a ser estudado quando comparada ao método mais tradicional de Giorgi, sendo talvez um complemento a esse.

Objetivo: sumarizar estudos qualitativos sobre o cuidado familiar à criança prematura. Método: Revisão de estudos qualitativos que avaliou estudos qualitativos de 2005 a 2017 após consulta em quatro bases de dados MEDLINE, LILACS, BDENF e IBECS identificando-se 539 estudos, dos quais 30 pesquisas compuseram a amostra. Resultados: Foram identificadas duas categorias: Aspectos negativos do cuidado familiar no cuidado a criança prematura e Aspectos positivos do cuidado familiar no cuidado a criança prematura. Os aspectos negativos estavam relacionados à relação com o prematuro e à família, enquanto os aspectos positivos estavam relacionados à própria mãe, aos profissionais de saúde e à família. Considerações Finais: As famílias compostas por 442 familiares (279 mães, 163 pais), vivenciam o cuidado à criança prematura desde a UTIN ao ambiente domiciliar por meio de sentimentos, emoções e atitudes moduladas pela relação entre os cônjuges, profissionais de saúde e com a própria criança.

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar reflexões sobre as sessões de Psicodrama Público SP On-line ocorridas entre agosto de 2020 e dezembro de 2021. O procedimento utilizado foi a análise qualitativa de entrevistas com a unidade funcional, o anfitrião e alguns participantes, gravadas após a realização dos psicodramas. Foram criadas quatro categorias a partir dos temas protagônicos apresentados. Foram identificados dois movimentos complementares: um em direção ao desequilíbrio e outro em direção à tentativa de restaurá-lo, além de uma retroalimentação entre as categorias e entre os períodos analisados. Observou-se que se instauraram novos processos de subjetivação no contexto grupal marcados pelos múltiplos sofrimentos vivenciados no período pandêmico da COVID-19, facilitados pela liberação da espontaneidade e criatividade.

This article presents a qualitative study conducted in an oncology outpatient clinic in Brazil, with the aim of understanding the meanings attributed to pain by professionals who care for adult oncology patients. The results highlight the importance of specialized and empathetic professionals in the care of adult oncology patients with pain. The study analyzed the experience of a multidisciplinary team in an oncology outpatient clinic in Brazil regarding the care of adult patients with pain. Health professionals emphasize the importance of prompt and efficient care, as well as the use of non-pharmacological therapies. The text discusses the importance of a humanistic education in the healthcare field, especially in the care of patients with oncological pain. The appropriate professional-patient relationship is essential for understanding pain and its implications on quality of life. The text also highlights the importance of appropriate pharmacological treatment and the use of complementary treatments for the management of oncological pain. Prioritizing the care of oncology patients is mandated by law, but there are still challenges to be faced in improving care. This article discusses the importance of a multidisciplinary team in the care of oncology patients in an outpatient clinic in Brazil. [Extracted from the article]

From the end of the 19th century onwards, qualitative research with an interpretive nature emerged as a form of research. Therefore, this article aims to contextualize the interpretivist approach through the bias of qualitative documentary research, describing how data collection and analysis occurs. The relevance of this article lies in the general description of the steps of the process, considering that documental research within the qualitative method is widely used in several areas of knowledge, the structure presented can contribute to future works that follow the same bias, in addition to the exposition of the aspects that relate the interpretive approach with the research method in question. The results suggest that the qualitative method allows the researcher to conduct documentary research from an interpretive approach, which is concerned with understanding the essence of the world and its daily life from the perspective of its participants.

A good preceptorship practice requires lifelong education. In this context, a course was developed for pharmacist preceptors aiming to promote the development of clinical skills. This study aims to describe the educational experience developed and the participants' perspective on it. This is a qualitative study, with data collection through participant observation, semi-structured interviews and document analysis. The transcribed data were submitted to thematic analysis. The planning of the educational activity, carried out based on a diagnosis with the pharmacists, resulted in satisfaction on the part of the pharmacists, who stressed the relevance of the topics addressed for their daily practice. The theoretical-practical course with case studies that aimed to develop initial clinical skills proved to be satisfactory from the perspective of the participants. Problems in the management of the local health system made it difficult to carry out the on-site support phase, initially planned. In addition, factors that influence the possibility of applying such competences in professional daily life were evidenced. The knowledge generated can be used to support other university-health service integration experiences for the lifelong education of pharmacists, taking advantage of the positive aspects and developing strategies to prevent the identified problems.

This article aims to present the narratives of the Ballroom Community in São Paulo to situate how combined HIV prevention practices are carried out in these people, identifying how the strategies conform, with what elements and influences, absences and restrictions. This is a qualitative research in the field of Collective Health that uses semi-structured interviews with Ballroom leaders to reconstruct narratives about HIV, opening a black archive on prevention. Such a perspective, in line with Saidiya Hartman's work from the perspective of radical black thought, focuses on the stories that have not been and will still be told: a way of radically imagining the future of blackness. As an analytical force, the black archive has the function of reparation, expanding narratives from a racial perspective, occluding a unique history of the HIV/Aids epidemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Trans people belong to a marginalized and vulnerable group in society and suffer from difficulties in receiving care in the health system. This study aimed to understand the health-disease-care process of trans people and their access to health services in Curitiba, PR, Brazil. Methodology: Qualitative hermeneutic research, through semi-structured interviews with ten trans persons from Curitiba. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded and submitted to hermeneutic analysis. Analysis enabled to understand participants' experiences and perceptions about their health and trajectories of care in the health system. Results: The narratives showed that there is still a lot of unpreparedness of health professionals and this produces discomfortable care for the trans persons. These experiences shape the behavior of the trans population towards health services, often avoiding them. All this difficulty in accessing health care generates mental health issues and feelings of suicidal ideation. Conclusion: The study highlighted the lack of recognition and acceptance of the way trans people express themselves and the existence of several discriminatory actions practiced by health workers. Understanding these challenges points to what need to be improved, such as increasing access and the healthcare quality for this population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analyzed the meanings of mental problems in childhood, according to a group of professionals from two family health units (USF), highlighting who looks at these problems, what they look at and how they look at them. Ethnographic research was carried out, focusing on interviews with a semi-structured script with eight professionals from the two USF, seeking to reveal the "native models" about these problems. The mental problems in childhood were identified by professionals, parents, neighbors, teachers, highlighting the adults' views. Agitation, aggressiveness, problems at school or at home, were complaints that classified a "normal" or "abnormal" child. They resorted to specialized professionals, other institutions, and health services for children's treatment. For the interviewees, mental problems in childhood are linked to family issues, mainly as a cause of these problems. The complexity of these problems, involving socio-cultural aspects, highlights the importance of the construction of practices based on interdisciplinary knowledge, as incorporated in child mental health policies and that has contributed to the strengthening and suppression of existing gaps in the assistance to children, seeking to encompass the complexity of their suffering experiences, associated with life situations marked by vulnerability and social precariousness, recognising children as subjects of these policies.

Introduction: Topics addressing the working conditions of nursing professionals are widely discussed, as they cover subjects such as workload and wages, professional development and career planning, occupational health and safety, adequate physical conditions and sufficient equipment, teamwork and professional recognition, and management and leadership, which in turn influence job satisfaction and quality of care. Factors related to working conditions also affect the opinions of nursing students regarding the profession, which can generate doubts and concerns about their future as nurses. Objective: To know the opinions of undergraduate nursing students who study at Brazilian universities regarding the working conditions of nursing in Brazil. Method: This is a descriptive survey with a qualitative approach. A total of 25 nursing students participated in the study. Results: Four themes were identified: 1) nursing work conditions; 2) factors that help overcome adverse working conditions; 3) reflections on the future in the profession; 4) suggestions to improve nursing working conditions. Conclusion: The support of public administrators and also institutional and nursing leaders' support were identified as important factors to improve conditions in the nursing work environment. With the improvement of nurses' working conditions, nursing students will also feel more motivated to dedicate themselves to the course and pursue a career in the profession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: It is observed that black population is more vulnerable to some diseases due to genetic, environmental, economic and social issues. In the health of black women, the need for greater attention to the development of cervical cancer is evident. Objective: To identify the difficulties in preventing cervical cancer from the discourse of quilombola women. Method: Descriptive research with a qualitative approach, mediated by the action research methodology. It was carried out in the remaining quilombola community entitled Os Quarenta, located in the city of Triunfo, Paraíba, Brazil, in 2019. Results: In the participant's discourse two central ideas were noted about the problems or difficulties that prevent early diagnosis of cervical cancer: shame as an obstacle to the practice of preventive examination and self-negligence as a determining factor in the absence of demand for health services. Conclusions: It is noticed that when inserting health information, it is important to consider the social and cultural factors of the community in order to adapt practices according to representations on the subject.

Thematic Analysis is one of several possibilities for analyzing qualitative data. The reflection carried out in this study is an unprecedented contribution to the effectiveness of Thematic Analysis, especially by researchers in the beginning of qualitative research. The proposed Thematic Analysis is guided by seven stages, the first three being preliminary or approaching the phenomenon. The steps suggested for analysis include: data collection, literal transcription of the data, environment with the data (familiarize), accommodation of the data in an analysis instrument (accommodation of the fragments of the speech), identification of context units, nuclei of meaning and themes. Performed in this way, it may facilitate the journey of the novice researcher. The implementation of the reasoning proposed in this study may facilitate and assist the researcher in conducting paths that make the submission of qualitative data to Thematic Analysis simpler and more practical.

Introduction: Healthy eating habits and cooking skills can contribute to the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective: This study aimed to adapt, test, and qualitatively evaluate the sensory characteristics of food recipes for their application in a culinary intervention program for individuals with type 2 diabetes, called Nutrition and Culinary in the Kitchen. Methods: Nutrition and Culinary in the Kitchen is an intervention program with hands-on cooking classes focused on promoting cooking skills. Recipes' modifications were based on the glycemic index of ingredients, then tested and discussed by nutrition experts in consensus workshops. Individuals with type 2 diabetes assessed and discussed the sensory characteristics of recipes in focus groups. Results: Recipes adaptations to suit type 2 diabetes population included replacement of rice by cauliflower and pasta by zucchini, and the use of fruits and spices in sweet recipes instead of using added sugar ingredients and/or non-caloric sweeteners. Those changes were positively accepted by the individuals with type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: The adapted culinary recipes can be used in dietary guidelines and in cooking interventions to promote eating habits that contribute to glycemic control. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to describe and provide a set of fundamental guidelines for conducting exploratory research in the educational context. It presents a qualitative research approach, specifically the bibliographic type, with an interpretive nature, carried out in articles, books, theses, and dissertations that address the subject. Based on the conducted investigation, it was possible to identify that there are few publications in the Portuguese language with this delimitation. This type of research enables the exploration of complex and little-known issues, which can lead to a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the studied phenomenon. It was also possible to identify that Exploratory Qualitative Research in education allows us to examine participants' experiences and perspectives, identify underlying trends and patterns, and generate hypotheses for future research.

Objective. To explore the perceptions of nursing professionals regarding facilitators and barriers to the implementation of expanded nursing functions in a state in central Mexico. Methods. Qualitative descriptive phenomenological study. During 2022, 18 semi-structured interviews were conducted with three types of informants: a) head nurses at state-level facilities; b) head nurses at local-level facilities; and c) heads of health units and operational nursing staff who have direct contact with patients. Results. The following facilitators were identified: willingness to adopt the strategy (seen as favorable by managers and acceptable by nursing staff); reorganization of functions (simplification of processes and analysis of the situation of health units); access to training; and characteristics of nursing staff (professionalization, work experience, and favorable attitude). Barriers included: conditions at the first level of care (personnel shortages, too many administrative activities, lack of physical space, materials, supplies, and consumables), resistance to change (professional jealousy of other disciplines and duplication of tasks), staff salaries, lack of training, not trusted with expanded duties, and attitude of patients (resistance to nursing care). Conclusions. By understanding the perceptions of nursing professionals, we can identify key elements for the successful expansion of nursing functions through expansion of the competencies of operational staff. Reorganization and proper management at different levels of decision-making will be necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective. To understand the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) experiences of migrant women and girls of reproductive age (15--49 years) from the Northern Triangle of Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras) during their journey to the United States. Methods. A descriptive, qualitative research design included 39 in-depth interviews with migrant women and unaccompanied migrant girls from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras from January to June 2022. Participants were recruited using purposive sampling. Interviews were transcribed, coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results. Migrant women and girls lack information and resources to manage their SRH during migration. The SRH of those traveling with smugglers is compromised due to their limited access to menstrual pads, water and sanitation services; the risks of transactional sex and sexual violence; the high risk of sexually transmitted infections; the inability to report sexual violence; the lack of access to SRH and prenatal services; and limited knowledge about their sexual and reproductive rights. Conclusions. There is a significant need for improved interventions during the predeparture phase of migration to inform migrant women and girls about the SRH risks they may encounter and to provide information and resources to support their SRH throughout their journey. Special attention should be directed towards trying to reach girls and women who will travel with smugglers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to describe the social construction of the social concept of pulmonary tuberculosis that, from the perspective of nurses, emerges from concepts based on stigma. Method: descriptive study, qualitative approach, with 12 nurses from centers of pneumological diagnosis in northern Portugal. Data collected in November 2020 and January 2021 by semi-structured interview, subsequently analyzed by content analysis methodology. Results: from the participants' discourses, the concept of pulmonary tuberculosis emerges. The understanding of the disease is surrounded by myths and taboos, with a bleak prognosis, causes fear of contagion, death, fear, shame, estrangement, social isolation and denial of the disease. Among nurses, talking about tuberculosis is a topic to avoid, it is an area that causes confusion and fear. Final considerations: the concept of the word tuberculosis persists rooted in concepts and prejudices. Social stigma remains at its core and perpetuates its negative concept to the present day.

Objective: to understand the motivations of women in choosing the planned home birth and the perceptions of this experience. Method: descriptive, exploratory and qualitative study, developed with 14 women who experienced a planned home birth between January 2019 and December 2020. The interviews were conducted between March and May 2021, transcribed in full and submitted to content analysis. Results: the allowed understanding that the motivations for choosing planned home birth were related to the feeling of fear of hospital obstetric practices. Safety in the home environment, the guarantee of autonomy and the possibility of the presence of children were both motivations and positive perceptions of this experience. Resistance on the part of society was often experienced. Conclusion: the current obstetric model needs to be rethought and readjusted, in order to provide safe and respectful birth, whether at home or in the hospital. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to describe the perceptions of black puerperal women about the care received during childbirth. Method: descriptive and exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, developed in a public maternity hospital in Bahia from March to August 2019, through semi-structured interviews with ten women. The systematization of data occurred by content analysis. Results: two analytical categories emerged: Humanization and good childbirth care practices; and Vulnerabilities in obstetric care. The perceptions were positive regarding the embracement, companion in childbirth and occurrence of some body relaxation technologies, but vulnerabilities were perceived, such as pilgrimage in childbirth, delay in care, culture of cesarean section and unsafe care. Final considerations: the perceptions of black puerperal women brought positive elements in the care received, but perceptions of vulnerabilities indicating reproductive injustices were also pointed out.

Representation is associated to several meanings and plays a fundamental role in geography. Since symbolic constructions reconstitute reality and provide meaning to it, the representations regarding the world we live in are indispensable, which demonstrate the importance of investigating them. In this sense, the objective of the present study is to demonstrate the central elements of the Social Representation Theory to provide an overview of the research involving social representation and geography teaching in the early 21st century. The results will enable the identification of the main theoretical influences, the methodology, and the contribution of research conducted in the area, more specifically, on geography teaching and learning. The results revealed that studies on social representation in geography are still incipient; however, the literature contributes for pedagogical practices and for the modification of some representation embedded in common sense. Therefore, teaching and learning geography is of the utmost importance, since social representations provide social practices with sense and value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present research had as intentions: to know and unveil the significant learning achieved during the development of the qualitative research course in the Master's Degree in Education: Research and Higher Education at the Universidad Nacional Hermilio Valdizán, Huánuco, Peru, which changed from face-to-face mode to virtual mode, due to the restrictions of confinement imposed by the Peruvian government given the advance of Covid-19 in the country. Using the action-research method in the classroom, the study was developed from the qualitative methodological perspective with two groups of students in the 2020-I academic period. Along with the pedagogical actions, the researcher-teachers collected information using focused written testimonies, homework records, and video conferences. Five categories emerged from the information systematization process, the most saturated being: i) reading and reflecting is the key and ii) collaborative work as a strategy for effective learning. It is concluded that in the experience of mediation and digital transformation of the qualitative research course, the preparation of teachers in connectivism and the sustenance in the educational model based on socioformation in the configuration of a personal learning environment was significant, which allowed students to demonstrate a high level of commitment, performance, and understanding of the epistemological and methodological principles implicit in this type of research.

Introduction: the perception of individuals about their own health is a strong indicator of their real state, as well as their behaviors related to the prognosis in case of presence of pathologies, besides being proportional to their motivations to acquire healthy habits. Objective: to describe the motivations of overweight adolescents when participating in a multidisciplinary health promotion program and their perceptions about habits related to physical and emotional well-being. Methods: this is a qualitative study, using the Bardin content analysis technique. The tool used for data collection was the semi-structured interview, analyzed with the help of the software QSR NVivo 11 through grouping of the speech into clusters. These in turn were evaluated in three categories: (1) motivation; (2) food; and (3) physical exercise. Results: the average age of the participants was 13.8 ± 2.4, with an average body mass index of 31.8 ± 8.5 kg/m². Regarding family income, 41.66% had monthly income of 3 to 6 minimum wages. Regarding the educational level of parents, 70.83% of mothers had completed higher education, while 29.16% had completed high school. According to the respondents' answers, the greatest motivation to participate in a multidisciplinary obesity treatment program was weight loss. In category 2, it was observed that adolescents associated the act of eating with feelings such as anxiety and nervousness. In category 3, the impact of the pandemic was found under the modalities of physical exercise practiced. Conclusion: the results prove the importance of understanding the perception of adolescents about their own health and related habits, in order to elaborate effective strategies for health promotion and consequent improvement of the quality of life of these individuals.

Both vascularized composite transplants and allogeneic transplants, as they depend on donations, are due to psychosocial factors that, knowing them, allow us to take appropriate educational attitudes. Objective: to explore the knowledge, beliefs and attitudes of nursing and computer science students regarding the donation and transplantation of organs and vascularized compound allogeneic transplants. Material and methods: exploratory research with qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews with 10 nursing and computer science students. Results: three categories: knowledge, showing disinformation; beliefs such as that there is nothing after death, that donation is altruistic and that their professions help raise awareness; and attitudes such as that they tend to talk about death openly, but not about donation. Discussion: university students are aware, but they are not well informed, finding evidence such as that religion or donating blood or marrow does not influence to be an organ donor and knowing recipients or someone with some disfigurement and talking about death does influence. Conclusions: there are beliefs that favor the donation of organs and vascularized composite tissue in university students, but also a significant misinformation and a lack of dialogue about becoming a donor that damages said donation and the educational role in this regard at a professional level.

Introduction: Natural catastrophes influence the progress of nursing. The largest recorded earthquake in the world occurred in the South of Chile and is documented as driving the development of nursing in the city of Valdivia, but not in similarly-affected places. Objective: To describe the impact of the mega-earthquake of 1960 in the development of professional nursing in Los Lagos. Methodology: qualitative-historical study. Snowball sampling. Data collection through semi-structured interviews and secondary sources. Inclusion criteria: belonging to the health team of the place and period studied. Informants with cognitive deterioration were excluded. Thematic analysis was carried out. Atlas Ti version 8.3.0 was used. Study approved by ethics committee. Results: in 1960 there were no nurses in Los Lagos and the only hospital in the area was incapacitated. A field hospital was installed, and a new hospital was built with national and international help, which led to arrival of the earliest nurses. Conclusion: the mega-earthquake drove the improvement of health infrastructure and the subsequent arrival of the earliest nurses, which contributed to more complex local health services and raised the quality of care.

Introduction: Although it is known that death is part of the life cycle, in the face of a disease with many aspects still unknown, such as COVID-19, it is important to understand how nursing workers represent this phenomenon, since they are the only professionals that continue to care for the individual even after the end of life. Objective: to analyze the structure of social representations about death and dying due to COVID-19 elaborated by nursing professionals. Materials and methods: qualitative study anchored in the structural aspect of the Theory of Social Representations with emphasis on the Theory of the Central Nucleus, developed with 32 nursing professionals from the city of Natal, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. Data collection was performed online using the free word association technique. For data analysis, prototypical and similarity analyzes were used. Results: the probable central nucleus of the representations was constituted by the terms sadness and fear, and the composition of the peripheral system and the contrast zone reinforce this nucleus. Discussion: the core of nursing professionals' representations about death and dying from COVID-19 constitutes a controversial issue of representation and highlights the damage to the psychosocial health of frontline nursing workers. Conclusions: in view of the elaborated representations about death and dying resulting from COVID-19, it is necessary to develop coping strategies that contribute to the psychosocial health of nursing workers.

Objective: To communicate the results of the systematization carried out between 2017 and 2021 around the experiences of community participation of the Mesa en Salud de Moravia, a community organization in the city of Medellín. Method: A systematization of community experiences was carried out, a qualitative research modality, under the historical-hermeneutic paradigm, carried out in Medellín with men and women from the Health Roundtable, neighborhood collaborators and external allies, based on 2 group interviews, 28 individual interviews, observation, documentary review and a results validation workshop. Results: The contexts and achievements of the historical development of the Moravian Health Board are described, identifying the main lines of action and work fronts, the network of institutions and the public and private organizations with which they have built their social practice. Likewise, the motivations and demotivations regarding participation in the Roundtable and the reflections of criticism and self-criticism regarding the context, the role of the State, community dynamics, leadership and transformation alternatives based on the resignification of the community are presented. Lived experience. Conclusions: The Moravian Health Table constitutes an experience of social participation in health from subalternity. Its dynamics account for community, social and sectoral contextual changes. Their struggles have claimed, along with other actors, the possibility of dignifying life and inhabiting a highly complex territory in the city. The vision of the right to health, as the right to care and decent living conditions, is the platform from which the Board projects its vision of citizenship, community, participation and state responsibility.

Introduction: Dental negligence occurs when the oral health problems of children are neglected and not promptly addressed by their caregivers. Objectives: To identify the perspective of dentists, teachers in public and community health areas of dentistry faculties from two Colombian universities, regarding dental negligence affecting early childhood. Methodology: Phenomenological-descriptive qualitative study. Two online focus groups were conducted with 11 dentists, teachers in public and community health areas, with experience in early childhood. Thematic analysis was performed with the support of Atlas ti 22 software. Results: Participants agree that dental negligence affects the oral health and physical and emotional development of children. It involves cavities, pain, infections, and tooth loss. It is often unintentional, making it difficult to identify; it may result from educational shortcomings in parents; it extends beyond family responsibility, including the state and health and education institutions. It is common in contexts of social inequality and vulnerable families where parental care responsibility is delegated. Lack of awareness of the importance of deciduous dentition and cultural barriers impact this phenomenon. Conclusions: According to the participants' perspective, dental negligence in early childhood constitutes a complex issue that requires improving the capacity of family and institutional caregivers to understand the what, how, and why of temporary dentition care. Dentists need to be trained to recognize, prevent, and act promptly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To understand the experience of parents regarding prenatal diagnosis of orofacial cleft in their children. Methods: Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, carried out in a Brazilian public tertiary hospital between January and March 2019. Parents who were accompanying their children during hospitalization for primary surgeries and who had received the diagnosis of malformation during pregnancy were included in this study. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded and transcribed in full. To prepare the results, Content Analysis was used in the Thematic modality. Results: The sample had 17 participants: 16 mothers and one father. From the speeches, three categories were unveiled: dealing with the unknown, assimilating the diagnosis, and positive and negative implications of prenatal diagnosis. Conclusions: We learned how complex and conflicting it was for parents to receive the diagnosis of malformation in their children, and that family and professional support was essential to the process of assimilation and coping. The findings point to the need for planning and implementing interventions, protocols and/or public policies aimed at assisting these parents in this period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
