Objective: Identify and analyze the scientific literature on digital technologies for promotion of healthy eating habits in teenagers. Method: Integrative review of articles published in English and Spanish, available in full on four databases. The descriptors used were (Adolescent health) OR (Teen health) AND (Healthy diet) OR (Healthy eating) AND (Educational technology) OR (Instructional technology), respectively, from which eight articles were selected. Results: Among the studies included, three were digital games; two web-based nutrition interventions; two using online programs to prevent obesity; and one nutritional advice using multimedia. They showed experiences of digital technology and its effects on knowledge improvement and/or behavior of participants when developing healthy eating habits. Conclusion: Digital technologies are innovative tools present in the lives of teenagers, with the possibility of being used for education and promotion of healthy eating, contributing to the empowerment of the subject for his/her self-care.
Objective: To analyze the association between vulnerabilities to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs/HIV/AIDS) of adolescents in poverty and their level of resilience. Method: Cross-sectional study with 287 students between 11 and 17 years old in a school in the outskirts of Fortaleza-Ce. The study was conducted from August to October 2016. Three instruments related to characterization, vulnerability to STIs/HIV/AIDS and resilience were used. The association between the instruments was calculated using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Association between vulnerability to STIs/HIV/AIDS and resilience was assessed through the Spearman’s correlation coefficient. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. Results: There was a significant association between the factors “housing” (p=0.022), “family income” (p=0.037) and vulnerability to STIs/HIV/AIDS. Adolescents whose father has completed high school (p=0.043) have moderately high resilience. Conclusion: Adolescents with low socioeconomic status and who live on less than a minimum wage tends to be more susceptible to vulnerabilities to STIs/HIV/AIDS and to have low resilience.
Objective: to identify actions to prevent adolescent sexual violence. Method: an integrative literature review of five databases, Medline/Pubmed, Scopus, Lilacs, Bdenf, Cinahl using the following descriptors “adolescent” “adolescence” “youth” “primary prevention” “prevention” “primary” “sexual violence”, plus the Boolean operators AND and OR, with a final sample of 24 articles; the evidence was assessed by the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation Results: the review identifies different structures of the study object, classified in the categories “Interventions with programs created by authors” and “Interventions with standard programs”. Conclusion: there are actions to prevent sexual violence against adolescents; the participants’ knowledge was assessed immediately after the intervention, but the assessment of the participants’ acquisition of habits and behavioral changes was to a lesser extent; health prevention is crucial for society’s healthy development, which demonstrates that its applicability in the environment directly favors human health.
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE To analyze the scientific evidence on the disclosure of the diagnostic of adolescents infected by HIV/AIDS in the South American context. DATABASE Systematic literature review using the PubMed, Cinahal, Embase, Cochrane, BVS, and Global Health databases and the descriptors: adolescent and HIV and family and Argentina or Bolivia or Brasil or Chile or Colombia or Ecuador or French Guiana or Paraguay or Peru or Uruguay or Venezuela. DATA SYNTHESIS Brasil was the country highlighted. It was verified that parents have a direct and indirect influence over the adolescents’ life, especially regarding behaviors and health care. Dialog among family members can reduce adolescents’ vulnerability to HIV and encourage diagnostic disclosure. CONCLUSION It is necessary to amplify research involving adolescents with HIV/AIDS and their parents/caregivers and family members to improve care and reduce the cases of the disease. It is suggested that policies of prevention and treatment should involve families, caregivers, partners, and the community.
Objetivo: Refletir a integralidade do cuidado em saúde sob a perspectiva do pensamento filosófico Levinasiano. Método: Estudo teórico reflexivo realizado através de buscas eletrônicas não sistemáticas, leitura crítica das obras do autor e outros estudiosos que investigaram as ideias Levinasianas. Resultados: A integralidade do cuidado em saúde propõe um olhar ampliado sobre o indivíduo, respeitando a sua singularidade (alteridade), desejos, crenças, considerando sua autonomia, através de ações centradas na sua valorização enquanto sujeito. Para Levinás, a ética, a filosofia primeira, nasce na relação face a face entre o eu e o outro (profissional-paciente), em que este se apresenta como rosto, como alteridade absoluta, que exige cuidado e responsabilidade. Conclusões: O pensamento Levinasiano remete a um contexto em que o indivíduo está no centro da atenção, independente da doença, norteia correta e cientificamente o trabalho em saúde, enfatizando o cuidado integral como uma prática dialógica em que o outro, enquanto paciente, é corresponsável no cuidado. Esta reflexão poderá motivar profissionais e pesquisadores a observarem a integralidade em saúde sob uma perspectiva filosófica a partir de conceitos definidos por Emmanuél Lévinas.
