“…It has long been established that social support can prevent different illnesses. 24 We found that older teenagers perceived to have less social support in the emotional, informational, and positive social interaction domains. The literature has shown that adult pregnant women receive more social support than do pregnant teenagers.…”

“…A possibilidade de desagregação dos laços familiares requer do paciente a proteção desse vínculo considerado pela maioria como fundamental. De acordo com Cassel (1976), as chances de adoecimento e sofrimento estão diretamente ligadas à intensidade com que os vínculos sociais se desfazem e enfatizam a importância do suporte social frente ao adoecimento e também na promoção dos cuidados com o paciente, tal como na fala a seguir:…”

Resumo: O objetivo é compreender o processo de construção dos significados atribuídos pelos pacientes em relação à vivência da comorbidade tuberculose e HIV (TB/HIV), e sua repercussão nos respectivos tratamentos. Diante da complexidade do objeto, optou-se em estudá-lo à luz do referencial teórico do construcionismo social. O estudo qualitativo envolveu a realização de entrevista semiestruturada com dez pacientes com TB/HIV, acompanhados em um hospital na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Os dados coletados foram submetidos à técnica de análise de conteúdo temático, organizados em cinco eixos: a) paciente e suas doenças; b) apoio; c) significados do tratamento; d) relação com o serviço de saúde; e e) estigma, preconceito e discriminação. Os resultados sinalizam que a vivência das duas condições e seus respectivos tratamentos é uma experiência difícil, trazendo sofrimento acentuado à vida dos pacientes. A TB acirra a dor do viver com HIV/Aids. O estigma da TB é reforçado pelo estigma da Aids, aumentando a vivência de medo associado ao preconceito. À família, à religião e ao serviço de saúde é atribuído papel fundamental, como lugar seguro e de preservação da identidade. Apesar do sofrimento físico, psicológico e moral e das dificuldades com ambos os tratamentos, é possível fazer conciliações no cotidiano. Palavras-chave: TB; HIV; TB/HIV; construcionismo social; adesão ao tratamento.

“…As a social fact, the gradient in developmental health is an emergent property of systematic SES differences in the quality of experiences children derive from these environments: stimulation, support, nurturance, and opportunities for participation in daily life. The four conditions for biological embedding imply that these differences either enhance or reduce risk for a wide range of adverse outcomes across the life course by creating a generalized biodevelopmental susceptibility or resilience across multiple paths (28,29).…”

This paper describes evidence that led to the concept of biological embedding and research approaches designed to elucidates its mechanisms. Biological embedding occurs when experience gets under the skin and alters human biological and developmental processes; when systematic differences in experience in different social environments in society lead to systematically different biological and developmental states; when these differences are stable and long term; and, finally, when they have the capacity to influence health, well-being, learning, or behavior over the life course. Biological embedding emerged from insights in population health on the unique characteristics of socioeconomic gradients: Ubiquity in poor and postscarcity societies alike; gradient seen regardless of whether socioeconomic status is measured by income, education, or occupation; cutting widely across health, well-being, learning, and behavior outcomes; replicating itself on new conditions entering society; and, often, showing that flatter gradients mean better overall societal outcomes. Most important, the gradient begins the life course as a gradient in developmental health, suggesting that the emergence of a multifaceted resilience/vulnerability early in life is the best place to look for evidence of biological embedding. To understand its character, the metaphor of the “archeology of biological embedding” has been used, wherein the surficial stratum of the “dig” is experience and behavior, the shallow stratum is organ system and cellular function, and the deep stratum is gene function. We are now ready to address the fundamental question of biological embedding: How do early childhood environments work together with genetic variation and epigenetic regulation to generate gradients in health and human development across the life course?
