The introduction of active teaching methodologies in the medical course was carried out with the aim of promoting the training of a humanized, interprofessional and general professional as one who has critical-reflective thinking and the ability to deal with more support with problem situations. The objective was to search the literature for studies that addressed the use of active methodologies in medical courses. Through electronic databases Google Scholar and Web of Science and in the Periodicals Portal of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES), the combinations of keywords were sought: Active Methodologies, Medicine, Teaching. 10 articles that met the studied theme were carefully analyzed, presenting as a result mostly positive aspects in the use of active methodologies, but still with aspects to improve according to the students, aiming to end paradigms rooted by the traditional method, so that there is total application of the concepts that this method brings. It is concluded that the current gradual scenario of changes between traditional methodologies for active methodologies continues to become in the future the only one to be used by medical courses.

The objective was to analyze the use of  Personal Protective Equipment (PPE's) in the protection and prevention of occupational accidents involving biological risks to which health professionals are exposed. The study consisted of an integrative review, using articles published in the last eight years through the search for the keywords: "Personal Protection Equipment", "Occupational Health, "Occupational Risks" and "Health Personnel" in the LILACS and MEDLINE electronic databases. It was evidenced that the PPE used in the health area are diverse, as well as their indications, advantages, disadvantages and modes of use. There was a strong relationship between the use and reduction of the risk of accidents due to biological exposure, and adherence was influenced by the quality and availability of them in the services. Equipment such as N95 masks, face shields and the use of double pairs of gloves demonstrated greater effectiveness compared to other PPE's of their categories. Studies have also shown that the correct technique of placing and removing these equipments is decisive to predict the risk of contamination. Therefore, PPE are effective in preventing accidents, although their poor adherence and use are barriers to occupational safety, requiring reformulations and regulatory actions of a socio-pedagogical nature.

Hepatitis C and associated risks in prisons: an integrative reviewHepatite C e riscos associados em presídios: uma revisão integrativa Hepatitis C y riesgos asociados en las cárceles: una revisión integradora ABSTRACTObjective: To assess the current scientific literature on the prevalence of hepatitis C and associated risks in prisons. Method: This is an integrative review conducted in the Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and Literature in the Health Sciences in Latin America and the Caribbean (LILACS in Portuguese) databases, including articles published between 2009 and 2014. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we selected 16 articles. Results: Descriptive (37.5%) and transverse (50%) articles predominated. All of them had level IV of scientific evidence. The prevalence of Hepatitis C was varied and the main risk factors associated with positive results for hepatitis C were injecting drug use, tattooing and age. Conclusion: Being a long-haul asymptomatic disease, hepatitis C is revealed as a major problem in the prison system, requiring more attention in order to produce knowledge to guide the adoption of effective measures for control and prevention. Descriptors: Hepatitis C; Prevalence; Prisons; Risk factors. (37,5%), transversais (50%). Todos apresentaram nível IV de evidência científica. A prevalência de hepatite C foi variada, e os principais fatores de risco associados à positividade para hepatite C foram o uso de drogas injetáveis, presença de tatuagem, idade. Conclusão: Por ser uma doença de longo curso assintomático, a hepatite C apresenta-se como um problema relevante no sistema prisional, exigindo mais atenção no sentido de produzir conhecimentos, que orientem a adoção de medidas efetivas de controle e prevenção. Descritores: Hepatite C, Prevalência, Prisões, Fatores de risco. La prevalencia de la hepatitis C se varió y los principales factores de riesgo asociados fueron consumo de drogas intravenosas, los tatuajes, la edad. Conclusión: Al ser una enfermedad asintomática de largo recorrido, la hepatitis C se revela como un problema en el sistema penitenciario, lo que requiere más atención con el fin de producir conocimiento para guiar la adopción de medidas eficaces de control y prevención.

This study aimed at analyzing the psychosocial repercussions of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic on the health of men living in Brazil. For this, we carried out a socio-historical and qualitative study, with the participation of 200 men who answered an online questionnaire. The data collected were processed in the NVIVO12® software, structured by the Collective Subject Discourse method, and analyzed from the epidemic disease theoretical framework proposed by Charles Rosenberg. Our results showed that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic brought about repercussions of different dimensions that compromised the health of men living in Brazil. The repercussions evidenced were behavioral changes and emergence of new habits due to the pandemic; uncomfortable family situations; impaired affective and sexual relationships; harms in marital relationships; and insecurity and psychological distress. It is important to implement strategies that maximize men’s health literacy, promoting better communication in terms of health, and search for help and suitable information about health/mental health.

Objetivo: O presente artigo objetivou identificar o estado vacinal dos adolescentes da área adscrita de uma Unidade Básica de Saúde da Família de uma cidade no Estado do Piauí. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo seccional com abordagem quantitativa, desenvolvido por meio de inquérito domiciliar, no período de abril a julho de 2017. A amostra foi constituída por 361 adolescentes e a análise foi realizada por meio de estatística descritiva. Resultados: Verificou-se que, a cobertura vacinal contra rubéola, sarampo e caxumba atingiu 42,7% dos adolescentes, difteria e tétano (31,9%), hepatite-B observou-se 42,1% de cobertura, enquanto que, 43,2% dos adolescentes foram vacinados contra febre amarela e 21,1% contra HPV. Destaca-se que, aproximadamente 50% dos entrevistados desconhecem a existência de um cartão de vacina do adolescente e que 58,8% dos adolescentes não sabiam informar contra quais doenças estavam imunizados. Conclusão: Conclui-se que o conhecimento dos adolescentes é incipiente em relação à imunização, destacando-se assim, a necessidade da realização de ações educativas  pelos profissionais da saúde em parceria com as escolas.
