Background A qualitative and exploratory study that analyzed the perspective of access to Integrative and Complementary Practices in Health (PICS) by listening users from a selected service of primary care of a municipality. Objective Analyze the access to PICS in a health public service of a municipality in a state of Brazil, from the perspective of users, as well as aimed at understand the needs and desires of health care these users in the search process and use of PICS, identifying facilitators and barriers in this trajectory. Methods The theoretical reference from Frenk on access was used, which systematizes the flow of events at the moment when the health need is perceived until the effectiveness of the care, besides the demand and entrance in the health services and the continuity of the treatment. The data collection was done by participant observation and semi-structured interview with 29 users of the service. The narratives were worked through the analysis of thematic content. Results The results indicated two groups of PICS: complex medical systems and therapeutic resources. There were differences in the organization of the offer with consequent influence on the different forms of access. It was registered the interest for the use of health care in a non-biomedical logic and a re-signification of the health-disease process in PICS users, contributing to the continuity of health production. Conclusions It was concluded that the current models of access analysis do not contemplate the diversities of access to the PICS, and the various possibilities of encounters with these practices allow the identification of the marginality of this care in all cases analyzed. Key messages Integrative and Complementary Health Practices gain national relevance as they contribute to the development of health promoting activities, focus on the individual, prevention and comprehensive care. However, considered a controversial topic in a hegemonically biomedical scenario, the incorporation of these new knowledge and practices in the health field occurs in a marginal way.

Introduction Carnival is a popular festival that was introduced in Brazil from the European heritage. However, it was the enslaved African people who saw forms and processes of resistance for the construction of identity during this festive period. The reframing and resistance that blacks establish with carnival is the result of a cultural need to stay alive both as a subject and as a collective. This is how samba schools emerge in the urban peripheries of Rio de Janeiro as a form of artistic, cultural and leisure production. Associations acquire for themselves the role of the State in providing access to rights that many are denied, neglected or scrapped. In these schools, it is possible to observe a relationship of belonging and donation (”principle of gift”) on the part of their so-called community, they are passions and meanings that produce relationships of self-care reaffirmation of intersubjectivity. Objective This work aims to identify the carnival as a space for the production of projects, resistances and protagonisms and to analyze the meanings of the subjective processes of health, disease, care and carnival, through the narratives of a samba school community. Methodology This is an exploratory analysis of a qualitative approach in public health. A samba school was chosen from the special group of the capixaba carnival, which is located in a peripheral region. We will use it to define snowball technical sampling. The data will be collected through semi-structured interviews and on-site observations by the researcher. The data analysis methodology used will be discourse analysis. Expected Results It is expected to understand the different practices and processes of health, disease, care and carnival, among a peripheral community that is part of a samba school. Key messages This work aims to analyze health care about a cultural aspect of marginalized populations and how health policies are related to carnival. Impact on the production of knowledge about popular culture and health.

Objective To know the dynamic processes that involve the production of care for women in situations of violence. Methods Study of qualitative approach and cartographic inspiration based on the theoretical reference of Institutionalism that had as scenario a reference center for women in domestic violence located in Espírito Santo, Brazil. Six professionals who worked directly in the care of women participated in the research. Interventions were carried out, through seven workshops, using storytelling. The material production tools were narratives, the researcher's field diary and the collective field diary, which was built from the record and observation of all the participants in the study. The workshops were held at the center according to the availability of participants and lasted an average of 60 minutes. The meetings were recorded and later transcribed together with the notes of the field diaries, seeking, through a cartography, to give meaning to the experiences lived by the participants. Through the analysis of implication, it was possible to give visibility to the various relationships that constitute a certain reality, in which the researcher is involved. Results The study pointed out that violence crosses all women influencing the production of care offered by professionals at the reference center. The narratives multiplied senses contributing to the problematization of the care offered, providing the qualification of other ways of thinking/acting in health. Conclusions From an ethical-aesthetic-political paradigm it is possible to produce reflections that broaden the view of care for women in violent situations beyond biological issues, contributing with desirable productive processes in the prevention of violence and the promotion of health. Key messages It gives visibility to micropolitical processes and contributes to the construction of policies for women's health capable of welcoming differences and singularities. It shows innovation for the field of qualitative health research, broadening the view on the care of women in situations of violence beyond biological issues.
