RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Improved education on water-related diseases in schools could help to reduce disease burden. This paper presents specific results on knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of a cluster-randomized controlled trial to reduce diarrheal disease and dengue entomological risk factors in rural primary schools in Colombia. The aim was to investigate whether enhanced educational interventions on dengue and diarrheal disease in schools could improve KAP scores related to these diseases in students and teachers in rural primary schools, as well as the students' parents. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A factorial cluster-randomized controlled trial was carried out in 35 rural primary schools in two municipalities in Cundinamarca, central Colombia. Schools were randomized into four arms: interventions related to diarrheal disease (DIA), dengue (DEN), both (DIADEN), or no interventions (control, CON). Both educational and physical interventions to reduce risk factors of dengue and diarrhea were implemented. Comprehensive teachers' manuals were developed and deployed to guide the learning activities. The intervention was carried out over two school years. The knowledge scores of students receiving dengue interventions (DEN, DIADEN) increased by 1.16 point score (0.75-1.56, p<0.001) and those receiving diarrhea interventions (DIA, DIADEN) increased by 1.15 point score (0.67-1.63, p<0.001). The attitude and practice scores of students receiving the diarrhea interventions increased (Attitudes: 0.41 [0.11-0.71, p = 0.01]; Practices: 0.33 [0.01-0.65, p = 0.042]), but not for those receiving the dengue interventions (p = 0.31 and p = 0.08, respectively). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: There were increases in knowledge scores among students, their teachers and their parents for both diseases. However, the attitudes and practices components were not affected to the same extent. The hypothesis that the students would disseminate knowledge acquired from the educational interventions to their parents was confirmed for dengue, but not for diarrhea. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ISRCTN40195031 The trial is registered in the Current Controlled Trials under Infections and Infestations category.

Resumo A migração dos povos indígenas apresenta tensões entre as tradições ancestrais e a visão ocidental com implicações para a saúde pública, especialmente a saúde sexual e reprodutiva. Este texto teve como objetivo analisar as concepções de saúde sexual e reprodutiva de mulheres indígenas curipacas de uma reserva indígena no departamento de Guainía (Colômbia). Trata-se de um estudo de caso, com uma amostra de 40 mulheres indígenas curipacas, residentes na reserva Paujil, em Guainía, provenientes de diferentes comunidades. Foram aplicadas entrevistas semiestruturadas elaboradas com membros da mesma comunidade e traduzidas para a língua curipaca. Três categorias resultaram da análise: impacto da mobilidade de mulheres indígenas; autonomia relativa como estrutura da sexualidade; e concepções da abordagem ocidental da saúde sexual e reprodutiva. Esta última categoria identificou que as participantes não têm conhecimento sobre a saúde sexual e reprodutiva desde o ponto de vista ocidental e vislumbram suas próprias formas de compreender a saúde-doença como parte integrante de todas as dimensões da vida/morte. A inter-relação entre as tradições ancestrais dos povos indígenas e a visão ocidental sobre a saúde requer uma abordagem intercultural de profissionais, serviços e do sistema de saúde para que reconheça a autonomia pessoal e relacional desses povos.
Abstract The migration of indigenous peoples presents tensions between ancestral traditions and the western vision, with implications for public health, particularly sexual and reproductive health. To analyze the conceptions of sexual and reproductive health of Kurripaco indigenous women from a reservation in the department of Guainía. Case study in a sample of 40 Kurripaco indigenous women, residents of the Paujil reservation, Guainía, Colombia, from different communities. Semi-structured interviews built with members of the same community and translated into the native language will be applied. Three categories emerged from the analysis: impact of mobility on indigenous women; Relative autonomy as frameworks of sexuality and conceptions against the Western approach to sexual and reproductive health. In this last category, it is found that the aspects of sexual and reproductive health as a Western construct are unknown by the participants, but instead they glimpse their own ways of understanding health-disease as an integrated part of all dimensions of life/death. The interrelationship between the ancestral traditions of native peoples and the western approach to health requires professionals, services, and the system to adopt an intercultural approach that recognizes relative personal and relational autonomy.
Resumen La migración de pueblos indígenas presenta tensiones entre las tradiciones ancestrales y la visión occidental, con implicaciones para la salud pública, particularmente en salud sexual y reproductiva. Este texto tuvo por objetivo analizar las concepciones sobre salud sexual y reproductiva de mujeres indígenas kurripacos de un resguardo del departamento de Guainía (Colombia). Se trata de un estudio de casos en una muestra de 40 mujeres indígenas kurripacos, residentes en el resguardo Paujil, en Guainía, procedentes de distintas comunidades. Se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas construidas con miembros de la misma comunidad y traducidas a lengua nativa. Tres categorías emergieron del análisis: Impacto de la movilidad en las mujeres indígenas; autonomía relativa como marcos de la sexualidad; y concepciones frente al abordaje occidental de la salud sexual y reproductiva. Esta última categoría identificó que los aspectos de la salud sexual y reproductiva como constructo occidental son desconocidos por las participantes, quienes vislumbran formas propias de comprender la salud-enfermedad como parte integrada a todas las dimensiones de la vida/muerte. La interrelación entre las tradiciones ancestrales de los pueblos originarios y el abordaje occidental de la salud exige a profesionales, servicios y sistema un enfoque intercultural que reconozca la autonomía relativa personal y relacional.

Objective To determine the nutritional status and prevalence of malnutrition and overweight in students in rural schools and their relationship with school absence rates. Methods Descriptive study carried out in 34 rural schools in Anapoima and La Mesa in 2013. A sample of 785 (82.4 %) students was selected by convenience sampling. The inclusion criteria were students registered for the period 2013 in grades 0-5 (ages 5-16) with parental consent and student assent. Weight and height of all subjects were taken. Overall absence rates and illness-related absence rates were recorded. Results 422 pupils were male (53.8 %) and 524 (66.8 %) had between 5-9 years old. A lower than average height for age occurred in 10.1 %(n=79) of the students. The thinness was recorded at 1.75 %(n=13), the overweight at 14.3 %(n=112) and the obesity at 4.5 %(n=45) of the students. The number of absence episodes per child per year due to any reason and due to disease was 5.7 and 1.4, respectively. Stunted growth and overweight students had a significantly higher number of absence days compared to students with adequate nutritional status (p <0.01). Stunted growth had the highest absence rates. Conclusions Malnutrition and obesity coexist in the study area. There is a significant relationship between school absence days (both general and illness-related) and stunting and overweight in students.

OBJECTIVES: Describing terminally-ill patients and their relatives' preferences regarding end of life decisions, the underlying problems and reasons leading to them requesting support. METHODS: This was a descriptive, exploratory analysis of the secondary sources in an NGO providing support for patients at the end of their lives. RESULTS: The most frequent choice was dying with dignity (43 %), followed by euthanasia (12 %). Some people asked for guidance on legal and ethical aspects regarding appropriate care for the terminally-ill. The pathologies accounting for 75 % of the diagnoses were chronic degenerative diseases, cancer and coma. The worsening of symptoms was the main reason for requesting support and uncontrollable pain more often led to the choice of euthanasia. Only 14 % of the patients had formalised their wills regarding their end of life decisions. The choice of dying with dignity was related to rejecting futile measures and therapeutic cruelty. Euthanasia was seen as an autonomous intentional action to end suffering. The family plays an essential role in making end of life decisions. CONCLUSIONS: End of life decisions are motivated by a perception of undignified conditions for patients due to progressive deterioration, poorly controlled pain, abandoning of chronic patients, therapeutic obstinacy and unnecessary measures that postpone death. They are taken within a complex context concerning religious dilemmas and ethical or legal concerns.

Objetivo Determinar el estado nutricional, las prevalencias de desnutrición y sobrepeso de estudiantes en escuelas rurales y su relación con tasas de ausentismo escolar. Métodos Estudio descriptivo en 34 escuelas rurales de Anapoima y La Mesa en 2013. Una muestra de 785 (82,4 %) estudiantes fueron seleccionados por muestreo por conveniencia. Criterios de inclusión: estudiante matriculado en 2013 de los grados 0-5 (edades 5-16) con consentimiento de padres o acudientes y asentimiento del estudiante. Se tomaron medidas de peso y talla. Se registraron tasas de ausencia (general y por enfermedad). Resultados Del total, 422 estudiantes fueron varones (53,8 %) y 524 (66,8 %) tenían entre 5-9 años. La prevalencia de talla baja para la edad fue 10,1 % (n=79). La delgadez fue 1,75 % (n=13), el sobrepeso 14,3 % (n=112) y la obesidad 4,5 % (n=45). Las tasas de episodios de ausentismo general y por enfermedad por niño al año fueron 5,7 y 1,4 respectivamente. Los estudiantes con baja talla para la edad y sobrepeso tuvieron un número significativamente mayor de días de ausencias en comparación con los estudiantes con adecuado estado nutricional (p<0,01). Los estudiantes con talla baja para la edad tuvieron las tasas más altas de ausentismo. Conclusiones Coexistencia de desnutrición y obesidad en el área de estudio. Relación significativa entre el mayor número de días de ausentismo general y por enfermedad con el retardo en el crecimiento y el sobrepeso en los escolares.(AU)

Este libro tiene como origen las diversas reflexiones originadas por la ejecución de un trabajo de investigación en el área de la salud con comunidades indígenas de la Amazonia colombiana denominado: "Estrategia de Atención Primaria en Salud con enfoque intercultural e investigación Acción Participativa para la prevención del cáncer de cuello uterino en el resguardo indígena de El Paujil" (Colombia) y desarrollado por lideresas pertenecientes a la región e investigadores de las universidades Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud, FUCS; Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales, UDCA; y Universidad El Bosque, con la cofinanciación del Ministerio de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación de Colombia. Los avances del proyecto permitieron explorar las visiones sobre diversos temas de algunas comunidades indígenas de la Amazonia, en especial, los relacionados con la salud de las mujeres y sus roles en las familias y en las comunidades. El trabajo conjunto, mediante una metodología de investigación participativa alrededor de la prevención del cáncer de cuello uterino, incluyó en primer lugar el análisis de la interculturalidad como un enfoque que coincide con los postulados de respeto por los valores culturales y las diferencias.
This book has as origin the diverse reflections originated by the execution of a research work in the area of health with indigenous communities of the Colombian Amazon called: "Primary Health Care Strategy with intercultural approach and Participatory Action Research for the prevention of cervical cancer in the indigenous reservation of El Paujil" (Colombia) and developed by leaders belonging to the region and researchers from the universities Fundación Universitaria de Ciencias de la Salud, FUCS; Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales, UDCA; and Universidad El Bosque, with co-financing from the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of Colombia. The progress of the project made it possible to explore the views on various topics of some indigenous communities in the Amazon, especially those related to women's health and their roles in the families and communities. The joint work, through a participatory research methodology on cervical cancer prevention, included first of all the analysis of interculturality as an approach that coincides with the postulates of respect for cultural values and differences.

Objetivos Describir preferencias en las decisiones al final de la vida en pacientes y familiares, problemas que subyacen y motivos que los llevan a solicitar apoyo. Métodos Estudio descriptivo, exploratorio de fuentes secundarias de una ONG que brinda apoyo a los pacientes al final de la vida. Resultados La opción más frecuente fue la muerte digna en 43 % seguida de la eutanasia en un 12 %. Un 22 % de las personas solicitaban orientación sobre aspectos éticos y legales y además referentes a la atención adecuada para enfermos terminales. Las patologías que ocuparon el 75 % de los diagnósticos fueron Enfermedad Crónica Degenerativa, Cáncer y Estado de Coma. La agudización de síntomas fue el principal motivo por el cual solicitaron apoyo y el dolor incontrolable llevó con más frecuencia a la opción por la eutanasia. Sólo 14 % de los pacientes habían formalizado sus voluntades anticipadas respecto al final de la vida. La opción de muerte digna se relacionó con el rechazo a medidas fútiles y al encarnizamiento terapéutico. La eutanasia se percibió como acción intencional y autónoma de poner fin al sufrimiento. La familia juega un papel esencial en la toma de decisiones. Conclusiones Las decisiones al final de la vida son motivadas por la percepción de unas condiciones no dignas debidas al deterioro progresivo, dolor mal controlado, abandono del paciente crónico, encarnizamiento terapéutico y uso de medidas innecesarias que posponen la muerte. Se toman en un contexto complejo de dilemas religiosos, éticos y legales.

Se realizó una investigación cualitativa para describir el proceso de decisiones al final de la vida (DFV) bajo el supuesto de que se trata de un fenómeno complejo y dinámico. Con base en entrevistas a profundidad a pacientes, familiares y personal de salud y en fuentes secundarias se analizaron las DFV a partir de teorías de decisión basadas en el principio de racionalidad limitada. Se encontró que las DFV exhiben características observadas en los fenómenos complejos como son múltiples componentes fusionados, relaciones variadas, simultáneas, impredecibles, cambiantes y dependientes de las circunstancias. La mayoría de los entrevistados utilizan el método intuitivo para tomar decisiones basándose en rutas de pensamiento cortas: creencias arraigadas, principios, fórmulas y juicios que han demostrado éxito previamente. Aunque se advierte un discurso de respeto por las elecciones del paciente, existen jerarquías instituidas e imaginadas en las que predomina el médico en lugar más alto. El dolor, la disnea y la dependencia progresiva son una fuerte presión para las DFV. También lo es la deficiente atención de los enfermos terminales y sus familias puesto que reduce las opciones a las que el paciente puede tener acceso.
A qualitative study was conducted to describe the process of making end- of- life decisions (ELD) under the assumption that it is a complex and dynamic phenomenon. ELD were analyzed from decision theory based on the principle of bounded rationality on the basis of in-depth interviews with patients, families, and health professionals. It was found that ELD had features observed in other complex phenomena as multi-component, fused, varied, simultaneous, relationships that are also unpredictable and dependent of changing circumstances. Most respondents use an intuitive method to make decisions based on short routes of thinking: strong beliefs, principles, formulas and judgments that have proven successful previously. Although a speech of respect for patient choices is evident, there are instituted or imagined hierarchies where physicians are in the highest place. Physical symptoms are roughly pressure to ELD. A negative role of health care institutions is noticeable due to negligence on the inclusion of the terminally ill and their families in health programs, which affects ELD because it reduces options.

La estrategia de Municipios Saludables se adoptó en Colombia en 1992 y en 1997 tomó el nombre de Municipio Saludable por la Paz. Se interpretó como una estrategia dirigida a la movilización social, impulsada desde diversos sectores para lograr la equidad, calidad de vida y desarrollo social en lo local, permitiendo la creación de ambientes propicios para la paz. Algunos municipios han aplicado esta estretegia y tanto sus procesos como resultados deben ser estudiados para aprender de su experiencia. Uno de estos municipios ha sido La Vega, ubicado en el departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de caso de este municipio para evaluar algunos de los componentes de esta estrategia como el compromiso político, las políticas públicas saludables, la articulación intersectorial y la estructura organizativa que le sirve de soporte. El proceso en este municipio se inició en 1990, como una estrategia de atención primaria. En 1992 el alcalde municipal declaró su compromiso con la estrategia y se puso en práctica un plan de desarrollo participativo dirigido a mejorar la calidad de vida de su población. En ese mismo año el Ministerio de Salud y la OPS lo reconocieron como Municipio Saludable y en 1997 obtuvo el premio nacional de municipio saludable. Lo relevante de La Vega ha sido el proceso de participación comunitaria, eje del trabajo por mejorar la salud de la población.
