RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The repercussions of the syphilis epidemic differ according to populations. Identifying and acknowledging the differences and specificities of populations is fundamental in the design and implementation of policies aimed at assisting the groups most vulnerable to syphilis. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence of antibodies against Treponema pallidum and associated vulnerability factors among riverside populations of a capital city in the Brazilian Amazon. METHODS: Cross-sectional study was conducted among residents of the periurban islands in Belém, northern Brazil, from August 2020 to January 2021. The inclusion criterion was being a resident of the riverside communities of the Combú Environmental Protection Area, aged 18 years or over. The participants responded to questionnaire and were tested for syphilis using rapid test. Data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression by Minitab version 20® software. RESULTS: Overall, a total of 325 riverine were included. Age varied from 18 to 91 years (average 40 years). Prevalence of markers for syphilis was 5.9% (95% CI: 3.3%-8.4%). The multiple regression showed that as age increases, the chances of having syphilis also increase (p = 0.001; aOR: 1.04) and riverside dwellers with more than one sexual partner in the last 6 months had more than four chances of having syphilis compared to people who had only one sexual partner (p = 0.007; aOR: 4.20). CONCLUSION: Syphilis circulates among traditional populations in the Amazon and is associated with factors of social and individual vulnerability.

BACKGROUND: Colombia has the fourth highest incidence rate of HIV/AIDS among all Latin American countries and it has been increasing since the 1980s. However, the number of studies that addresses this trend is limited. Here, we employed spatial and temporal trend analyses to study the behaviour of the epidemic in the Colombian territory. METHODS: Our sample included 72,994 cases of HIV/AIDS and 21,898 AIDS-related deaths reported to the National Ministry of Health between 2008 and 2016. We employed the joinpoint regression model to analyse the annual HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality rates. In the spatial analysis, we used univariate autocorrelation techniques and the Kernel density estimator. RESULTS: While the HIV/AIDS incidence had an increasing trend in Colombia, the AIDS mortality rate was stable. HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality showed a downward trend in the 0-14 age group. An upward trend was observed for HIV/AIDS incidence in people older than 15 years and with the highest trend in the 65 years and above group. AIDS mortality showed an increasing trend among people aged 65 years or older. The comparison between the sexes showed an upward trend of HIV/AIDS incidence in all age groups and AIDS-mortality rates in 65 years and above in men, while in women, the incidence was upward among those aged 45 years and above, and concerning the AIDS-mortality rate in the 45-64 group. The high-high clusters of HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality were located in the Andean and Caribbean regions. CONCLUSION: Our study found an upward trend in HIV/AIDS incidence and a stable trend in the AIDS mortality rate in Colombia. The downward trend in HIV/AIDS incidence and AIDS mortality rate in the 0-14 age group reflects the downwards mother-to-child HIV transmission. The upward trend in HIV/AIDS incidence in older women and AIDS mortality in younger women rates, compared with men, may be due to late diagnosis and treatment. The Caribbean and the 'coffee belt' regions were the most impacted by the HIV epidemic, most likely due to sexual tourism. Our results provide crucial information that may help Colombian health authorities fight HIV transmission.

To investigate the presence of burnout syndrome in child athlete tryouts for the Brazilian Handball Team, before and after the National Development and Technical Improvement Camp is of great interest. A correlational study, with longitudinal design of the before-and-after type, carried out with 64 male athletes in the children's category, immersed in the National Camp for Development and Improvement of Handball Technique, in the municipality of São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil, in December 2018. To evaluate burnout syndrome, we used the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). There was a statistically significant increase of the mean scores for burnout and dimensions (Physical and Emotional Exhaustion = 1.5 to 1.6; p-value < 0.001; Reduced Sense of Accomplishment = 2.7 to 2.9; p-value < 0.001; Sports Devaluation = 1.4 to 1.6; p-value < 0.001; and General Burnout = 1.9 to 2.0; p-value < 0.001). The athletes selected for the national team had lower mean scores for general burnout and dimensions (Physical and Emotional Exhaustion = 1.5; Reduced Sense of Accomplishment = 2.7; Sports Devaluation = 1.5; General Burnout = 1.9). The National Camp for Development and Technical Improvement can have a negative impact on the mental health of athletes. This event is important to select the competitors with greater ability to face the pressure and adversities present in the sport environment.

OBJECTIVE: To reflect on the role and initiatives of the Brazilian Nursing Association (ABEn) and the Federal Nursing Council (Cofen) in the development, recognition, and regulation necessary to implement advanced practice nursing (APN) in Brazil. METHOD: This is a theoretical-reflective essay resulting from the roundtable discussion entitled "Regulation and recognition of advanced nursing practices in Brazil: how are we and what is missing" held in May 2021, at the III International Symposium on Adult Health. RESULTS: ABEn and Cofen are strategic partners to define the areas of activity of this specialization in Brazil. Nursing organizations are responsible for defining professional profiles and curricula, advanced practice nursing conditions, and adequacy of existing graduate courses aiming at technical support, political leadership, regulation, and construction of an APN foundation in Brazil. CONCLUSION: Brazil must broaden the national debate on APN, define a training model for it, and articulate efforts with all its strategic partners to build a theoretical, political, and labor framework for advanced practice nurses' full professional practice.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze higher education in the health area in Brazil according to the results of the students' performance in the 2019 National Student Performance Examination. METHOD: a cross-sectional and retrospective study with a quantitative approach and online data referring to 192,715 students from 3,712 health courses, collected in 2020. The students' performance was expressed in concepts, ordered on a scale of one to five. Box-plots were prepared, prevalence values of the concepts were estimated, and the differences were evaluated through statistical tests (α=5%) according to the administrative and management characteristics, as well as those of the cities where the courses were offered. RESULTS: there was a satisfactory level of higher education in health (70.0% with a score ≥3). The Medicine courses were the most satisfactorily evaluated while Speech Therapy and Nursing obtained the worst scores. Public, face-to-face and university education were associated with better teaching quality. Lower levels were found in the North region states, in small towns, outside metropolitan areas and in those under private management. CONCLUSION: heterogeneity in the quality of higher education across the health courses was verified, indicating its association with the characteristics of the teaching institutions and with the infrastructure of the cities where the courses are offered, pointing out challenges to the quality of health education in Brazil.

Due to social and individual conditions and access to health services, Amazonian riverside populations are highly vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections, including Chlamydia trachomatis. The aim is to estimate the seroprevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis and analyze the associated factors among riverside dwellers in a capital city in the Brazilian Amazon. A cross-sectional study was carried out with residents of the Combu Island, Belém. The study sample was calculated using the population survey technique in the EPI INFO. Only people aged 18 and over were included. ELISA serology was performed to detect antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis. For data collection, a form containing vulnerability factor questions was applied. Binary regression analysis was performed using the Minitab 20 program. The study sample consisted of 325 participants. The prevalence of IgG/IgM antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis was 22.2% and 5.5%, respectively. In the multiple regression, only participants with a broken condom were more likely to have antibodies against the bacteria (OR: 1.90; 95% CI: 1.01; 3.37; p = 0.046). Seroprevalence was associated with condom breakage. This factor demonstrates that despite having an attitude towards condom use, probably, they may have inadequate knowledge about the correct practice of introduction.

Objective: To analyze the coping strategies used by primary healthcare (PHC) professionals. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study realized with professionals working in primary healthcare units in São José do Rio Preto, a large city in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. For data collection, we used an instrument developed by the researchers containing sociodemographic and professional variables, as well as the Problem Coping Modes Scale (EMEP). Results: We evaluated 333 PHC professionals. A difference was observed between the scores of the four coping strategies (p < 0.001), with the highest score for the problem-focused strategy (3.8) and the lowest score for the emotion-focused strategy (2.4). Physicians had the lowest scores in coping strategies focused on religious practices/fantastical thinking (p < 0.001) and pursuit of social support (p = 0.045), while community health agents had the highest scores in these coping strategies. Conclusions: Professionals working in PHC have different coping strategies for the problems and stressful situations experienced in the work environment. These strategies can involve more positive attitudes focused on confrontation and problem solving, and on emotional responses that involve attitudes of avoidance and denial of the problem.

OBJECTIVES: analyze the association between the level of HIV knowledge among young people from Amazonas region, their sociodemographic profile and infection risk factors. METHODS: cross-sectional analytical study, which used a structured questionnaire containing questions about sociodemographic, behavioral aspects and HIV knowledge. Data were grouped by sex and underwent ordinal and binary logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: the students had an HIV knowledge deficit, associated with a low educational level of their parents and low family income. The most frequent risk factors were lack of knowledge on the part of female students regarding proper male condom use, their infrequent use in sexual relations and failure to do HIV testing. There was an association between level of knowledge and use of dating apps by female students. CONCLUSIONS: there was no association between level of knowledge and the preponderant risk factors, but the students' knowledge deficit rendered them more vulnerable to infection.

The scope of this paper was to compare the changes in coverage patterns by health insurance plans among public servants, the military and other employees in Brazil and verify if the purchase of such health plans is reflected in the respective self-reported prevalence of Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH) and Diabetes Mellitus (DM) in the country. For this purpose, workers in the public sector (federal, state, municipal or military) and other workers aged ≥18 who were included in the 1998, 2003 and 2008 campaigns of the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) and in the 2013 National Survey were studied. Over the years of the study, it was observed that Brazil's public service employees, both civilian and military, have presented a high and increasing proportion of health insurance purchase compared to other workers. The prevalence of SAH and DM has always been higher among employees with health insurance. The special status of public servants and the military as regards the double access to both public and private healthcare systems is reflected in the increasing self-reported prevalence of SAH and DM, increasing health inequities in a public health system that was constituted in a universal and equitable way.
O presente estudo objetivou comparar as mudanças nos padrões de cobertura por planos privados de saúde entre servidores públicos, militares e demais trabalhadores no Brasil e verificar se a vinculação a planos de saúde repercute nas respectivas prevalências autorreferidas de Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS) e Diabetes Mellitus (DM) no país. Para isso, foram utilizados os trabalhadores do setor público (federal, estadual, municipal ou militar) e, outros trabalhadores, com ≥ 18 anos de idade incluídos na Pesquisa Nacional de Amostra de Domicílios dos anos de 1998, 2003, 2008 e na Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2013. Observou-se que ao longo dos anos de estudo, os servidores públicos civis e militares do Brasil apresentaram elevada e crescente proporção de adesão aos planos privados de saúde em relação aos demais trabalhadores. As prevalências de HAS e DM sempre foram maiores e cresceram entre os servidores com planos de saúde do que entre os sem planos. O status diferenciado aos servidores públicos e militares, no que se refere ao duplo acesso aos serviços públicos e privados de saúde, refletiu-se nas crescentes prevalências autorreferidas de HAS e DM, aumentando as iniquidades em saúde diante de um sistema público constituído de modo universal e equânime.

RESUMEN
Resumo Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar os tipos de vínculos de trabalho das enfermeiras da Atenção Primária à Saúde no Brasil. Tratou-se de um estudo transversal de abordagem quantitativa e descritiva. Utilizaram-se os microdados secundários referentes ao desdobramento da pesquisa de avaliação externa do Programa de Melhoria do Acesso e da Qualidade da Atenção Básica. Quanto ao tipo de vínculo, com exceção da Região Norte (33,70%), todas as outras regiões apresentaram como principal respondente servidoras públicas estatutárias: Sul (66,20%), Centro-Oeste (56,50%), Nordeste (40,33%), Sudeste (36,69%). Enfermeiras com contrato temporário pela administração pública e contrato temporário por prestação de serviço tiveram participação importante no Nordeste (29,51% e 19,33%) e Centro-Oeste (16,03% e 17,86%). Contrato e empregado via Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho tiveram mais expressão no Sudeste (23,54% e 8,27%) e no Sul (5,93% e 19,31%). No Sudeste, foi expressiva a participação de trabalhadoras contratadas por organizações sociais de saúde. Notou-se a presença crescente de vínculos precários de trabalho em detrimento dos vínculos estáveis. As novas formas de organização flexível das relações de trabalho trazem impacto significativo ao processo de trabalho, sobrecarregam as enfermeiras, em condições de trabalho inadequadas, e comprometem a qualidade da assistência, reduzindo a resolutividade da Atenção Primária.
Abstract This article aimed to analyze the types of work bond of nurses from Primary Health Care in Brazil. This was a cross-sectional study of a quantitative and descriptive approach. Secondary microdata related to the breakdown of the external evaluation research of the Access Improvement Program and the Quality of Basic Care were used. As for the type of bond, except for the Northern Region (33.70%), all other regions presented as the main respondent for statutory public servants: South (66.20%), Central-West (56.50%), Northeast (40.33%), Southeast (36.69%). Nurses with temporary contracts for public administration and temporary service contracts had important participation in the Northeast (29.51% and 19.33%) and Central-West (16.03% and 17.86%). Contract and employee through Consolidation of Labor Laws had more expression in the Southeast (23.54% and 8.27%) and in the South (5.93% and 19.31%). In the Southeast, the participation of workers employed by social health organizations was expressive. The growing presence of precarious labor links was noted, to the detriment of stable bonds. The new forms of flexible organization of work relationships bring significant impact to the work process, overload nurses in inadequate working conditions, and compromise the quality of care, reducing the resolubility of Primary Care.
