From a feminist perspective, we present the possibilities and limits of a qualitative research technique that considers the active participation of people who articulate with the researcher under a critical perspective and with a rescue of their embodied emotional experience, such as the construction of Life Narratives. This feminist method challenges the traditional ways of generating qualitative knowledge by ...
Conducting public opinion surveys on sensitive topics like NIMBY ("Not in My Backyard") facilities among China's rural population (often voiceless) is challenging. To advance relevant research, a new mixed-method approach is proposed in this paper based on fieldwork in Huizhou, China, concerning the T Nuclear Power Plant. The approach combines the paper-and-pencil interviewer-administered questionnaires (PAPIAQ...
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has posed challenges to entities responsible for qualifying healthcare professionals worldwide, needing adaptation to offer distance learning courses in the face of implications such as social distancing. However, despite these courses, there are still gaps in understanding their effects. Objective: To analyse the feeling of professional managers on the effects of a distance ...
Introduction: the cultural dimension of health, now clearly acknowledged (WHO, 2017), remains insufficiently explored. Particularly, investigating the cultural influence on the effectiveness of health interventions is relevant since, insofar as when such interventions lack meaning from the target population's cosmovision or are not practical in their context, the effectiveness of those interventions may have a ...
Introduction. The flow of migrants between different countries is a reality in Portugal, Spain and Belgium. As a consequence, one of the main concerns is the care of migrants in health services. This healthcare is not systematised in the good practice manuals that are available. There is no training in this area, neither in educational curricula nor in the continuous training of health professionals. Objectives...
One of the demands of the academic community for the selection and accreditation processes of their members is to lead competitive research projects. Many young researchers face the challenge of being a “Principal Investigator” for the first time without prior experience or support. To this end, we believe that it is necessary to share experiences of presenting subsidized projects (also failures) among the acad...
Introduction/Frame: Trust is foundational to qualitative research and program evaluation to ensure that data collection, data analysis, and actionable recommendations improve programs and produce effective outcomes. Concomitantly, building trust between the university and community sectors offers a rich opportunity to join efforts to address public health issues including substance use, homelessness, criminal ...
Introduction: The black population in Brazil was the most severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, both in terms of incidence and the lethality of the disease. Structural racism presents significant barriers to access to healthcare services for the black immigrant population. There is a lack of information regarding how structural racism impacted access, welcoming, and healthcare practices for black immigran...
The People's self-concept contributes to their sense of identity, and if associated with methods that promote the involvement of participants, we develop knowledge that promotes causes and social change. Introduction: In recent decades, the scientific community has identified a high prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in nurses, as a result of work processes, high physical demands, workspaces, ...
Introduction. Primary Health Care constitutes the first level of health care, coordinating the care provided to the population by the Public Health System in Brazil. The National Curricular Guidelines play an important role in critical training aligned with the assumptions of the Public Health System and Primary Health Care. However, many propositions in the National Curricular Guidelines end up not being consi...
