RESUMO
Objective: Identify publications from 2000 to 2020 on hepatitis B in indigenous people in Latin America, to learn about advances and gaps in this field in the last 20 years. Methods: Exploratory review and systematic evidence review. Documents were organized using Excel and Rayyan® software. Results: We selected 30 of 107 articles found: 17 epidemiological studies, 10 document reviews, 2 clinical studies, and 1 letter to the editor. Brazil was the country with the most publications (50%), most of them with an epidemiological approach. The topic most often addressed was hepatitis B prevalence with 22 publications, followed by 11 studies reporting results of molecular studies of the virus, 7 studies on vaccination, 5 studies on risk factors, and 4 publications with topics such as vertical transmission and studies of social issues. Conclusion: Compared to previous reviews by other authors, we saw greater diversity in topics and research methods; however, conventional epidemiological approaches that focus on measuring prevalence of serological markers still predominate. Thus, there is a need for other types of research focused on sociocultural determinants.
Objetivo: Identificar artigos publicados entre 2000 e 2020 sobre hepatite B em indígenas da América Latina, visando a conhecer as conquistas obtidas nos últimos 20 anos e as lacunas existentes com relação a esta doença. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão exploratória da literatura com síntese das evidências. O material obtido foi organizado com o uso de Excel® e Rayyan®. Resultados: De 107 artigos encontrados, 30 foram selecionados 17 estudos epidemiológicos, 10 revisões documentais, 2 estudos clínicos e 1 carta ao editor. O Brasil foi o país com o maior percentual de artigos publicados (50%), na sua maioria estudos com enfoque epidemiológico. As áreas temáticas abordadas foram a prevalência de infecção pelo vírus da hepatite B (22 artigos), estudos moleculares do vírus da hepatite (11 estudos), vacinação (7), fatores de risco (5), e temas como transmissão materno-fetal e aspectos sociais (4). Conclusões: Comparado aos estudos de revisão anteriores conduzidos por outros autores, o presente estudo demonstra uma maior variedade de áreas temáticas e metodologias empregadas. No entanto, ainda predominam enfoques epidemiológicos convencionais com foco na avaliação da prevalência de marcadores sorológicos. São necessárias outras linhas de pesquisas enfocando os determinantes socioculturais.

Identificar publicaciones realizadas entre los años 2000 y 2020 sobre hepatitis B en indígenas de América Latina, con el fin de conocer avances y vacíos en el tema durante los últimos 20 años. Métodos. Revisión exploratoria y síntesis rápida de la evidencia. El proceso de organización documental se realizó con los programas Excel® y Rayyan®. Resultados. Se seleccionaron 30 de 107 artículos encontrados, 17 corresponden a estudios epidemiológicos, 10 a revisiones documentales, dos estudios clínicos y una carta al editor. Brasil fue el país con más publicaciones (50%), la mayoría con enfoque epidemiológico. La temática más abordada fue la medición de prevalencia de la infección por hepatitis B con 22 publicaciones, le siguieron 11 estudios que informan resultados de estudios moleculares del virus, siete estudios sobre vacunación, cinco estudios sobre factores de riesgo y cuatro publicaciones con temas como la transmisión vertical y estudios sociales.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Social innovation (SI) in health holds potential to contribute to health systems strengthening and universal health coverage (UHC). The role of universities in SI has been well described in the context of high-income countries. An evidence gap exits on SI in healthcare delivery in the context of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as well as on the engagement of universities from these contexts. There is thus a need to build capacity for research and engagement in SI in healthcare delivery within these universities. The aim of this study was to examine the adoption and implementation of network of university hubs focused on SI in healthcare delivery within five countries across Africa, Asia and Latin America. The objectives were to describe the model, components and implementation process of the hubs; identify the enablers and barriers experienced and draw implications that could be relevant to other LMIC universities interested in SI. METHODS: A case study design was adopted to study the implementation process of a network of university hubs. Data from documentation, team discussions and post-implementation surveys were collected from 2013 to 2018 and analysed with aid of a modified policy analysis framework. RESULTS/DISCUSSION: SI university-based hubs serve as cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral platforms, established to catalyse SI within the local health system through four core activities: research, community-building, storytelling and institutional embedding, and adhering to values of inclusion, assets, co-creation and hope. Hubs were implemented as informal structures, managed by a small core team, in existing department. Enablers of hub implementation and functioning were the availability of strong in-country social networks, legitimacy attained from being part of a global network on SI in health and receiving a capacity building package in the initial stages. Barriers encountered were internal institutional resistance, administrative challenges associated with university bureaucracy and annual funding cycles. CONCLUSIONS: This case study shows the opportunity that reside within LMIC universities to act as eco-system enablers of SI in healthcare delivery in order to fill the evidence gap on SI and enhance cross-sectoral participation in support of achieving UHC.

BACKGROUND: Identifying social innovation in health initiatives, promoting quality of life through them, and transforming current health conditions demand the knowledge, comprehension and appropriation of the theoretical and methodological developments of this concept. Academic developments in social innovation have mainly occurred in and been documented for English-speaking countries, although relevant experiences have been implemented in Latin America. In this article, we describe and analyze how social innovation in health is being approached and understood in this region. MAIN TEXT: To identify the theoretical and methodological developments of social innovation in health between 2013 and 2018, a scoping review with a mixed approach was carried out. Eighty texts in English, Spanish and Portuguese were selected for a process of reflexive analysis of intra and intertextual reading. The approaches identified in the studied initiatives were complementary. The most applied approaches were innovation in health, technological innovation in health and social innovation, each with twelve publications, and social innovation in health and ecohealth with ten and seven publications respectively. The approaches showed a general interest in reaching the goals of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Alma Ata Declaration and the Ottawa Letter. CONCLUSIONS: The social innovation in health approach in Latin America adopts educational strategies, identifies risk factors, optimizes resources, promotes interculturality, participation, community empowerment, and enhances intersectorality and interdisciplinarity. As an approach, process, program or solution, social innovation in health is a conceptual category under construction. This research provides a baseline for other systematic reviews on the subject.

RESUMEN Este artículo estudia la función del guía bilingüe como actor en la disminución de la brecha en el acceso y la atención en salud de las comunidades indígenas wayuu de Colombia. En el marco de un proyecto de VIH llevado a cabo entre los años 2012 y 2014, se realizaron 24 entrevistas a actores claves del área administrativa y de salud, incluyendo guías bilingües wayuu. A partir del análisis cualitativo se identificaron tres barreras culturales respecto al acceso a la atención en salud: a) idioma; b) cosmovisión wayuu sobre el cuerpo, la salud y la enfermedad; c) información sobre salud sexual y reproductiva y VIH culturalmente no adaptada. El estudio identifica al guía bilingüe como actor clave en la disminución de estas barreras y finaliza con una discusión sobre el rol de los guías, las tensiones inherentes a su labor, y la complejidad de su aporte como mediadores culturales.
ABSTRACT The article examines the use of bilingual guides to decrease cultural barriers to health care access in the Wayuu indigenous communities of Colombia. Within a larger project on HIV carried out between 2012 and 2014, 24 interviews were conducted with key actors in the administrative and health areas, including Wayuu bilingual guides. As a result of the qualitative analysis, the study identified three cultural barriers to health care access: a) language; b) the Wayuu worldview regarding the body, health, and illness; and c) information about sexual and reproductive health and HIV not adapted to the Wayuu culture. The study identifies the bilingual guides as key actors in reducing these barriers and concludes with a discussion of the role of the guides, the tensions inherent to their work, and the complexity of their contributions as cultural mediators.
