“…This paper presents findings from a study of families of children on peritoneal dialysis, emphasizing the identification of social supports and networks to strengthen interventions aimed at health promotion, in the context of inequalities between developed and developing countries. The idea of health promotion involves strengthening individual and collective capacity to deal with the multiplicity of factors that condition health (2) . Promotion goes beyond applying techniques and norms, recognizing that it is not enough to know how diseases function and to find mechanisms to control them.…”

“…Promotion goes beyond applying techniques and norms, recognizing that it is not enough to know how diseases function and to find mechanisms to control them. It has to do with strengthening health by building a capacity for choice, using knowledge to discern differences between events (2) . Care delivery for children with chronic diseases and their families is one of the priorities within Brazilian public policy.…”

“…Kane et al (1985) present four main areas of intervention for preventive strategies: 1) specific conditions or illnesses that result in dysfunction (e.g., cardiovascular disease, cancer), 2) risk factors that may be categorized as unhealthy behaviour, rather than illness (e.g., smoking, lack of exercise, unhealthy diet), 3) conditions that require caregivers' intervention (e.g., depression, drug abuse, visual and hearing impairment), and 4) dealing with consequences of caregiving and medical care (e.g., drug side effects, functional disability in overprotective environments) (Kane et al 1985). Furthermore, it is important to understand the differences and similarities between prevention and promotion in healthcare (Czeresnia 1999). Many health promotion measures (e.g., for older adults) are related to primary or tertiary prevention, and aim for behavioural change in older adults at risk, or to improve their functional capacity (Czeresnia 1999;Mallery and Rockwood 1992).…”

On preventive blood pressure self-monitoring at home

Self-monitoring activities are increasingly parts of people's everyday lives. Some of these measurements are performed voluntary rather than being referred by a physician, and conducted because of either a preventive health interest, or to better understand the body and its functions (so-called 'Quantified Self'). In this article, we explore socio-technical complexities that may occur when introducing preventive health-measurement technologies into older adults' daily routines and everyday lives. In particular, the original study investigated blood pressure (BP) measurement in nonclinical settings, to understand existing challenges, and uncover opportunities for self-monitoring technologies to support preventive healthcare activities among older adults. From our study, several aspects emerged that are important to consider when designing preventive self-monitoring technology, such as the complexity of guidelines for selfmeasuring, the importance of interpretation, understanding and health awareness, sharing self-monitoring information for prevention, various motivational factors, the role of the doctor in prevention, the home as a distributed information space, and so on. An awareness of these aspects may help designers to develop better support tools for people's preventive self-monitoring needs, compared to existing solutions. Supporting the active and informed individual may improve their self-care, awareness, and implementation of preventive care. Based on our study, we reflect on the findings to illustrate how these aspects may also inform both people engaged in Quantified Self activities and designers alike, and the tools and approaches that have sprung from the so-called 'Quantified Self' movement.

*Correspondência:Caixa postal 04451 Brasília -DF Cep 70904-970 bioetica@unb.br RESUMO A auto-hemoterapia é uma prática de uso clínico crescente, mas com potencial risco à saúde dos indivíduos, uma vez que se trata de procedimento terapêutico sem comprovação científica. Até o momento não existem estudos clínicos que comprovem a eficácia e a segurança deste procedimento; apenas pesquisas experimentais com resultados questionáveis, tanto em seres humanos quanto em animais. Nos últimos anos, a área de Vigilância Sanitária (VS) do Ministério da Saúde ampliou suas ações preventivas e de controle de riscos tanto no âmbito privado como coletivo. As ações da VS têm, muitas vezes, como base o poder legal de polícia administrativa que a legislação lhe confere. Esse poder é entendido como a faculdade que dispõe a Administração Pública para condicionar e restringir o uso e gozo de bens, atividades e direitos individuais, em benefício da coletividade ou do próprio Estado. Recentemente, o Estado, por meio do poder de polícia da VS, interveio na prática da auto-hemoterapia no Brasil. O presente estudo analisa e defende a ação interventiva da VS na prática clínica da auto-hemoterapia no país, tendo como base de sustentação argumentativa os "Quatro Pês" desenvolvidos pela chamada "Bioética de Intervenção" -prevenção, proteção, precaução e prudência.UNITERMOS: Auto-hemoterapia. Vigilância Sanitária. Poder de polícia. Bioética de Intervenção. Prevenção, proteção, precaução e prudência. AUTO-HEMOTERAPIA, INTERVENÇÃO DO ESTADO E BIOÉTICA INTRODUÇÃOA defesa e a proteção da saúde surgem no aparato legal brasileiro por meio das constituições federais de 1937, 1946, 1967, culminando com a de 1988. Referem-se à competência do Estado de legislar sobre a saúde, ganhando ênfase com a criação do Ministério da Saúde (1950) e a necessidade de um espaço institucional que acompanhasse o desenvolvimento industrial e tecnológico 1,2 . Nesse contexto, a Vigilân-cia Sanitária surge inicialmente como um conjunto de ações que visava ao controle dos riscos relacionados à circulação de mercadorias e à força de trabalho 3 . Atualmente, Vigilância Sanitária é entendida como um conjunto de ações capaz de eliminar, diminuir ou prevenir riscos à saúde e de intervir nos problemas sanitários decorrentes do meio ambiente, da produção e circulação de bens e da prestação de serviços de interesse da saúde 4 . As práticas da Vigilância Sanitária, no entanto, sobretudo com a nova concepção da saúde pública revelada ao final do século XX, ampliam as opções de prevenção e controle de risco no sentido da precaução, implicando não apenas no âmbito individual, mas também na perspectiva coletiva: "O fenômeno social traduzido no princípio de precaução levou, igualmente, ao desenvolvimento de uma filosofia da precaução, construída com base em uma história da prudência, que revela, a princípio, o domínio do paradigma da responsabilidade, substituído -na passagem para o século XX -pelo da solidariedade. É a segurança -o novo paradigma, em fase de formação -que dá às obrigaçõe...
