There is an evident contrast between health education practices and theoretical reflection concerning them as models. Health education practices have undergone considerable development in terms of strategies, methods, and modalities, while theoretical models have remained deficient, reductionist, fragmentary, and focused on behavior rather than social practices. Major problems include individualism, asymmetrical "teacher-student" relationships, students as passive objects of practices, lack of social and cultural contextualism, and excessive focus on factual behavior. We propose a praxis based on ten levels of integration regarding different human dimensions: 1) complexity requires interdisciplinarity; 2) holism; 3) combined perceptual and expressive dimensions in a integrated language; 4) framing of practices in real contexts; 5) realization of the continuity between the individual and collective realms; 6) symmetrical, dialogic and active educational practice; 7) integration of both intellectual-cognitive and affective-volitional processes; 8) risks as vulnerabilities of social groups that are capable of organization; 9) use of imagination in role-playing games; 10) recognition of others and diversity. Political aspects of education are emphasized as promoting citizenship and social change.

The purpose of this study was to analyze social representations of sexual violence against women, as constructed and reproduced in prenatal care settings in three municipal maternity hospitals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This qualitative research explored two themes: ideas about and explanations of sexual violence committed against woman. The forty-five interviews conducted with health professionals were examined using thematic content analysis. The results show that social representations of sexual violence against women were associated with ideas of suffering, behavioral disturbances, and forced sexual intercourse. The explanations offered for why this type of violence occurs included gender relations, urban violence, and ascription of blame to the victim. It can be concluded that hegemonic patterns of asymmetrical relations persist, even in the discourse of maternity health professionals, who are the point of reference for attending to victims of sexual violence. Incorporating the analytical category of gender into healthcare professional training could make prenatal care an important gateway for the recognition and management of sexual violence against women.

This study aimed to analyze perceptions of conflict between workers and managers in primary healthcare units and to present a typology of conflicts on the job. This was a comprehensive interpretive case study with a critical hermeneutic approach. Data collection techniques included: focus group with managers, workplace observation, and worker interviews, conducted from April to November 2011. The results were triangulated and indicated the coexistence of distinct concepts of conflict, typified in six modalities: lack of collaboration at work; disrespect resulting from asymmetrical relations between workers; problematic employee behavior; personal problems; asymmetry with other management levels; and inadequate work infrastructure. The relevance of (non)mutual recognition, as proposed by Axel Honneth, stood out in the interpretation of the causes and practical implications of these conflicts.
