Título: Pandemia de COVID-19: abordagens decoloniais sobre saúde, saneamento e trabalho Autor(es): Rodrigues, Giseli do Nascimento Primeiro Orientador: Trindade, Ana Angélica Martins da Abstract: The study analyzed changes in the eating habits of outsourced sanitation workers in Bahia during the COVID-19 pandemic, from a decolonial perspective. These workers, essential to society, suffer invisibility and marginalization in an environment that devalues ​​social groups, especially in a sector marked by changes in the management model and increasing outsourcing. The scarcity of academic documents on health and outsourcing in sanitation hinders in-depth analyses. Information available from non-academic sources, such as unions, reveals serious health and safety problems for these workers. The adoption of privatization models and public-private partnerships in the sector has an uncertain impact on food and health, highlighting the need to assess the effects of these changes. The "health versus capital" paradigm is reflected in the precariousness of working conditions. Decoloniality, with its focus on valuing non-hegemonic knowledge, allows us to understand food practices as resistance to hegemonic thought and the standardization imposed by the capitalist system. The precariousness and management models of the sanitation sector demand actions that promote decent and dignified work, and the importance of understanding intersectional factors, union representation, and the relationship between health and food in the context of basic sanitation is emphasized. The study suggests greater oversight of companies and a review of public policies aimed at workers' health and nutrition. It also proposes the development of policies that address health and food issues considering cultural, social, and historical aspects. Valuing food identity and decolonial resistance can contribute to improving working conditions and the well-being of workers, ensuring that they are protected and have their rights respected.

Título: Saúde mental e qualidade de vida de estudantes de Odontologia Autor(es): Viana, Arianne Gomes Primeiro Orientador: Lins-Kusterer, Liliane Elze Falcão Abstract: The process of training healthcare professionals, especially in dentistry, has characteristics that impact the mental health and quality of life (QoL) of these students. This study aims to analyze the mental health and quality of life of dental students. The dissertation is composed of two articles. The first is an integrative review that investigates the prevalence of common mental disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and stress, among dental students and the main associated factors. The second article is an empirical, cross-sectional study conducted with 111 dental students at a public university in Bahia, with the objective of evaluating the association between anxiety and quality of life, in addition to investigating the relationship with sociodemographic, health, and academic characteristics. The mixed-method (qualitative quantitative) research used the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the WHOQOL-BREF. The qualitative part explored the difficulties of the course and the future concerns of the students, especially those resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The review study revealed high levels of depression, anxiety, and stress among dental students in various countries around the world, which were accentuated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The highest prevalences were found in studies in Turkey (82.1%, 79.6%, 72.9%), Brazil (64.2%, 67.5%, 61.7%), Portugal (63.3%, 59%, 77.3%), and Malaysia (60.6%, 66.8%, 50.4%). The empirical study, in turn, revealed an anxiety prevalence of 39.64%. Independent predictors found were the presence of physical symptoms related to anxiety during the course (sweating, tachycardia, and shortness of breath), which increased the chance of anxiety by approximately three times (OR = 3.35; p = 0.001), and the psychological domain of the WHOQOL-BREF, which acted as a protective factor, reducing the probability of anxiety (OR = 0.93; p = 0.028). The qualitative analysis demonstrated that an extensive course load, activity overload, lack of time, and financial issues are the most frequently reported difficulties. Among future concerns, students reported a fear of not being prepared for the job market and the vulnerability of the dentist in a pandemic scenario. This study contributes to deepening knowledge about the mental health and well being of dental students, offering important support for the development of support policie Editora / Evento / Instituição: Universidade Federal da Bahia Tipo: Dissertação

Título: Indicadores de Mortalidade e Impacto por Covid-19 em Trabalhadores da Saúde Autor(es): Carvalho, Renata Barbosa Vilaça Marques de Primeiro Orientador: Santos, Kionna Oliveira Bernardes Abstract: Introduction: According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 million cases of COVID-19 were registered in healthcare professionals by the end of January 2021, in 183 countries. Brazil occupies second place in the number of deaths in the world ranking, behind only the United States of America (USA) and India. In this context, there was a lack of data on some occupations to the detriment of others, limiting and making it difficult for health surveillance to plan actions aimed at protecting workers. Objective: To estimate indicators of mortality and impact due to COVID-19 in different groups of health workers in Bahia, in the period between 2020 and 2022. Method: An epidemiological, descriptive and exploratory study was carried out. Deaths were extracted from the Mortality Information System (SIM). Population data were obtained from Class Councils, the National Registry of Health Establishments (CNES) and the National Immunization Program Information System (SI-PNI). The mortality coefficient was calculated and presented for one thousand workers. Potential Years of Life Lost (YYL) and Productive Years of Life Lost (YYY) due to COVID-19 were estimated in each age group. An analysis was carried out between mortality coefficients and vaccination rate against COVID-19. Results: Of the total number of deaths (n=403), the majority were female (63.3%), aged 40 years or over (85.4%), of brown race/skin color (52 .1%) and with secondary and technical education (48.1%). The highest mortality rates were observed in Elderly/Health Caregivers, Health Agents, Veterinarians/Zootechnicians, Biologists and Pharmacy/Office Attendants. Regarding the evolution of mortality, the presence of three waves was observed, with a reduction in deaths after the start of vaccination. In total, 6,771 APVP and 6,778 APrVP were estimated, with a greater impact on females, in the 40 to 49 age group and in professional categories that work directly in care. Discussion: By surveying deaths, it was possible to estimate impact indicators, which reveal the social value of premature mortality and the reduction in the workforce. Thus, when death occurs at a stage in which life is potentially productive, it affects not only the individual, but also society as a whole, as its economic and intellectual potential is lost. Conclusion: The results showed a high impact generated by COVID-19 on the health workforce in Bahia, mainly in groups of workers little mentioned in the literature.

Título: Qualidade de vida numa comunidade quilombola urbana Autor(es): Cavalcanti, Caroline de Menezes Primeiro Orientador: Carvalho, Fernando Martins Abstract: Quilombola communities have their own characteristics, with ethnic and racial diversity, strong networks of sociocultural relationships, and a history marked by resistance and preservation of their identity. According to the World Health Organization, quality of life is defined as an individual's perception of his/her position in life, considering the cultural context and value systems in which he/her is inserted. The objective of this study is to assess the quality of life of quilombolas in its physical, psychological, social, and environmental dimensions and to identify associated factors that impact their lives and health. This is a cross-sectional, census, and descriptive study with 318 residents of Quilombo Quingoma, in Lauro de Freitas-Bahia. Data collection was carried out from June to August 2024, in interviews conducted in the quilombo, through the application of a questionnaire with sociodemographic, housing, occupational, and health data and the WHOQOL-Bref to assess quality of life. The instrument performed well, when evaluated by the composite reliability index. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS statistical program, using multiple linear regression to identify factors associated with variations in the four WHOQOL-Bref quality of life domains. Multivariate analyses revealed that, in the Physical component, having formal or informal employment was positively and negatively associated with evangelical religion and being ill (reporting high blood pressure, diabetes, depression, respiratory disease, heart disease, sickle cell anemia, or chronic pain); the Psychological domain was positively associated with monthly income and negatively associated with the number of people in the household, risk of dust, and being ill; the Social domain was positively associated with age and formal employment; and the Environmental domain was positively associated with age, monthly income, lack of sewage, and negatively associated with the number of people in the household, risk of dust, fear of losing land/home, and being ill. Quality of life in quilombola populations is a topic that demands greater appropriation and dissemination by the scientific community and society. The scarcity of studies on quilombolas hinders more comprehensive analyses of the challenges and realities faced by these vulnerable communities Editora / Evento / Instituição: Universidade Federal da Bahia Tipo: Dissertação
