This work is presented in order to discuss school health in Brazil, the construction of the School Health Program, its historical context and aspects related to intersectoral actions between education and health. It is based on exploratory research in different types of works, in order to constitute a scientifically relevant study and theoretical reflections and bring up current discussions on the topic addressed. The historicity of school health in the world is perceived and stratified until reaching the Brazilian context, in line with advances in global studies in public health, as well as the issuance of specific ordinances and interministerial documents involving the Unified Health System, the attention primary care and health promotion. The discussion about intersectoriality and its perspectives as a way of management and its impacts on society and on the health of the student is promoted. Some forms and examples of prevention, health education and health promotion actions are also exposed in conjunction with the understanding of the social determinants of health. It is concluded that, despite the unstable historical path, the health of the student has become one of the aspects of health promotion policies of great importance for the Brazilian nation and that it still needs organized and well-managed actions to carry out a satisfactory intersectoral dynamic.

Arab-Islamic communities keep customs that are transmitted to descendants in their family and community spaces. The study aimed to analyze the influence of Arab-Islamic culture on health learning in two schools in Foz do Iguaçu - Brazil and one school in Cidade de Leste - Paraguay. This is a quantitative-descriptive study, conducted in 2017. A structured questionnaire was used. 37 high school students of Arab-Islamic origin participated. In data analysis, the frequency, percentage, mean, median and standard deviation of the observations were calculated. Of the 37 participants, 67.6% are female, with a mean age of 17.2 years. The data were organized in three evaluative questions: 1) Health Hygiene (in the three schools, a score of 5 (median) was attributed to the vast majority of the statements, associating learning with social life); 2) Water / Basic Sanitation (the Biological Sciences subject had the highest frequency of grades 5 (median) in the three schools, and the item that received the highest score was "drinking water must be drinkable" and the one with the lowest was "Correct disposal of waste" with grade 3). 3) Healthy Eating (the discipline of Biological Sciences was the one that had the least influence on the answers, obtained a low frequency of grades 5 (median), different from the discipline of Religion with higher scores). Arab-Islamic culture contributes to health learning by demonstrating that working with religious leaders can be strategic, especially on items, water/sanitation, waste disposal and the importance of avoiding standing water for dengue prevention.

Background: Bullying at school is a worldwide phenomenon. Observers are central to understanding the phenomenon and developing preventive actions. Objective: To know the experience of students identified as witnesses of bullying situations. Methodology: Qualitative and exploratory study developed in a Brazilian school, in the light of the Social cognitive theory. Twenty students aged between 13 and 18 years participated. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus groups. Thematic analysis was applied to the data. Results: The prevalence rate of students who observed bullying was 64%. Participants have good knowledge about bullying, assess aggressive behavior as negative or harmful, but this understanding does not translate into a sense of self-efficacy and actions to help victims. A thematic category was built -- Taking action, reinforcing and feeling -- "What was also motivating the aggressor to do this is the audience". Conclusion: The students' experience is marked by individual, school and contextual issues. Implications for primary health care are spelled out. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The environment has been shown to be pivotal in the development of children during the school age; that it must be taken into account when promoting the child's health. This study analyzed worldwide literature on school health promotion in relation to the environment. A search was carried out including indexed articles using the keywords school health, health promotion and environment. The search covered the term 2014-2017, without any language or geographic restriction. Out of 106 reported references, 40 met the selection criteria; these ones were applied a bibliometric analysis regarding the environment classification, evidence level and content-based categories. Even though the reported evidence is weak, it is verified that the school health relates directly to the environment from the personal sphere to the cultural and social spheres. The contents in the studied literature can be grouped in six categories: interactions and citizen's behavior, environment and hydration, environment and physical activity, dealing with special health conditions, environment and nutrition, and policies to promote health at school.

Background: Bullying at school has stood out, generating several negative repercussions on the health of adolescents. Objective: To evaluate the effects of an intervention based on the Theatre of the Oppressed in the reduction of bullying at school 6 months after its completion. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study, conducted between 2016 and 2017, with high school students from two schools of the state capital of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Among the 231 participants, 133 composed the intervention group, and 98 the comparison group. Before and after the intervention, the groups were assessed by the Peer Aggression and Victimization Scale (EVAP). The t-test and chi-squared test were used for the data analysis, and measurements were not compared. Results: The intervention group showed a significant reduction in the direct victimization and aggression, 6 months after the end of the intervention. However, the comparison group showed a significant increase in all forms of bullying victimization and aggression. Conclusion: The Theatre of the Oppressed contributed to the reduction of bullying among adolescents and can be incorporated into the actions of health promotion in schools. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Enteroparasitosis has been causing serious problems of public health globally, especially in developing countries. Even with the general population reportedly having knowledge about intestinal parasites, studies indicate that they do not know how to identify the verminoses. Objective: To elaborate, implement, and evaluate an educational program on intestinal parasites in a public school in Ribeirão Preto - SP. Materials and Methods: Quase-experimental, non-randomized study conducted with 56 students from the first to the fourth grades of elementary education. In order to evaluate the students' knowledge before and after the educational intervention, a semi-structured questionnaire was applied (pre- and post-test). Results: Changes were evidenced in the students' responses to hygiene habits, especially in questions about how worms feed (p = 0.008); or what not to do to avoid contamination with worms (p = 0.05); what is the form of the worms when ingested (p = 0.001); which organs the worms enter (p = 0.001). Thus, it was evident that this type of educational activity was efficient to help in the learning by elementary school students. Discussion: After the educational activity, growth was noted in the correct answers for most of the questions, however, difficulties persisted in understanding about the symptoms, the cycle, and which organisms are worms. Conclusions: It is hoped that this work will encourage health and education professionals to include health educational practices in the school context. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To present the process conducted and its application in order to identify and categorize the seated posture behavior of students in the classroom, using video capture and the development of a graphic matrix to register postures. Material and method: Students from second to eleven grade (between 7 and 16 years of age) male and female from a coeducational school in Bogotá, Colombia participated in the study. The seated postures of 20 students, distributed according to age, school grade, and school dynamics (individual / group), were recorded in ten videos. The postures observed were drawn, categorized and captured in a graphical matrix used as an instrument to identify them, and then, a database was consolidated. Results: A total of 138 posture variations were identified and classified into seven categories. The matrix was applied to compare the frequency of the postures adopted during the first and second half of the class in individual dynamics, the frequency of neck rotation between the two school dynamics, and the frequency of posture categories between class dynamics. Conclusions: The graphic matrix is a qualitative type screening tool which, with the elaboration of a database, makes it possible to calculate the frequencies of movement in the body parts (neck, extremities, and trunk) and percentages of time of permanence in the established categories or in certain posture variation, without the need for specialized equipment or software, or specialized technical staff for data collection and analysis.

School failure still presents itself as a relevant problem in Brazil, making it important to investigate factors associated with it. This study aimed to evaluate social competence and emotional and behavioral problems among adolescents with and without history of school failure. It is a quantitative research, with a correlational and comparative design of cross section. The participants were 76 adolescents from two public schools of São Leopoldo/RS. 35 of them presented with failure history and 41 without this history. The instrument used was the Youth Self-Report (YSR) for ages 11-18, and also the record of the number of school failures, obtained from the secretaries of each school accessed. The results showed that both groups had similar levels of social competence and emotional and behavioral problems demonstrating that in this sample the school performance was not associated with the analyzed variables. These data suggest that school failure is constituted as a multidimensional phenomenon and the isolated assessment of individual variables may not be enough to understand it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The school has a strong commitment with the surrounding community as a space for the development of health promoting actions. However, for this space to be truly potentiating the quality of life, people should feel they are accepted and to participate in the process of building this healthy environment. So the aim of this study is to reflect upon the school as a health production space, and the importance of the health promoting school proposal. For this purpose we conducted a theoretical research on school environment, social inclusion and health promotion in school facilities. Results point to the necessity for school to contribute for the development of healthy life abilities, reflecting upon life styles and promoting a healthy atmosphere for learning, which is appropriate for the student. That includes appraising individualities and establishing an atmosphere that potentiates healthy relations, with communication quality and with reflection upon diversities. It is specially found that teacher´s critical, creative and reflexive attitude plays an important role for healthy promoting school establishment, developing a pleasant, joyful and solidary environment, and stimulating joint search for doubts and questions.

A percepção que as crianças têm sobre a sua própria saúde é um importante indicador para a definição de estratégias de promoção de saúde infantil. Este estudo correlacional analisa a percepção de saúde de uma amostra probabilística acidental de 216 crianças portuguesas do ensino básico. O questionário de recolha de dados (CHIP-CE) revelou boas propriedades psicométricas (alfa=0,84). Os resultados indicam médias e desvios-padrão de cinco fatores: Conforto (4,34; 0,45); Evitamento de risco (4,18; 0,53); Satisfação (4,03; 0,56); Resiliência (3,75; 0,60); Realização (3,75; 0,60). Resiliência e evitamento de risco são fatores com valores mais baixos. A dificuldade em realizar os trabalhos de casa e conviver com os colegas é indicadora da dimensão resiliência mais problemática. Os resultados permitem descrever o perfil de saúde e planejar uma intervenção de educação para a saúde das crianças, em contexto escolar, especialmente na área do relacionamento e motivação para o estudo.La percepción que los niños tienen sobre su propia salud es un importante indicador para la definición de estrategias de promoción de salud infantil. Este estudio correlacional analiza la percepción de salud de una muestra probabilística accidental de 216 niños portugueses de escolaridad básica. El cuestionario de recolección de datos (CHIP-CE) reveló buenas propiedades psicométricas (alfa=0,84). Los resultados indican medias y desvíos estandarizados de cinco factores: Comodidad (4,34; 0,45); Evitación de riesgo (4.18; 0,53); Satisfacción (4,03; 0,56); Resiliencia (3,75; 0,60); Realización (3,75; 0,60). Resiliencia y evitación de riesgo son los factores con valores más bajos. La dificultad en realizar los deberes y convivir con los compañeros son indicadores de la dimensión de resiliencia más problemáticos. Los resultados permiten describir el perfil de salud y planear una intervención de educación para la salud de los niños, en contexto escolar, especialmente en el área del relacionamiento y motivación para el estudio.The perception that children have about their own health is an important indicator for devising strategies to promote child health. This co relational study analyzes the health perceptions of an accidental probability sample of 216 Portuguese children during basic education. The data collection questionnaire (CHIP-CE) showed good psychometric properties (alpha = 0.84). The results show the following averages and standard deviations for five factors: Comfort (4.34, 0.45), Risk avoidance (4.18, 0.53), Satisfaction (4.03, 0.56), Resilience (3.75; 0.60), and Achievement (3.75, 0.60). Resilience and Risk avoidance are factors with lower values. Difficulties in doing the homework and in socializing with peers identify the problematic indicators of the resilience scale. The results allow us to describe health profiles and health plan education interventions for school children, especially regarding the relationships and motivation for studying.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantiqualitativa de delineamento transversal, que teve como objetivo detectar precocemente o déficit visual nas crianças em fase escolar e promover a saúde visual por meio de atividades lúdicas. Os resultados mostraram que das 250 crianças que participaram das atividades lúdicas de promoção da saúde ocular, apenas 143 crianças realizaram o teste de acuidade visual; as demais não trouxeram a autorização dos pais. Das crianças submetidas ao teste de acuidade visual, 13 foram encaminhadas ao reteste, e todas estas foram encaminhadas ao serviço de oftalmologia, pois a dificuldade visual permaneceu como resultado do reteste. Referente à aplicação do lúdico, percebemos que tanto a história quanto os personagens do teatro ficaram explícitos nas falas das crianças. Na conclusão, evidenciamos que a visão desempenha papel fundamental no desenvolvimento físico e psicossocial da criança; por isso, a triagem oftalmológica com diagnóstico precoce de alterações visuais é de extrema importância.Se trata de una investigación cuantitativa y cualitativa de carácter transversal que tuvo como objetivo detectar precozmente el déficit visual en niños que se encuentran en fase escolar y promover la salud visual a través de actividades lúdicas. Los resultados demostraron que de los 250 niños que participaron en las actividades lúdicas de promoción de la salud ocular, sólo 143 niños hicieron la prueba de agudeza visual, ya que los demás no habían traído la autorización de sus padres. Del total de niños que hicieron la prueba de agudeza visual trece fueron encaminados a realizar una repetición de la prueba y tras hacerla, los mismos trece fueron remitidos al servicio de oftalmología, ya que la dificultad visual fue confirmada por la contraprueba. En lo referente a la aplicación del juego, percibimos que tanto la historia como los personajes del teatro estaban explícitamente presentes en las historias contadas por los niños. En la conclusión, demostramos que la vista desempeña un papel fundamental en el desarrollo físico y psicosocial del niño, por eso, es extremadamente importante el diagnóstico precoz para la detección oftalmológica de las modificaciones visuales.This is a quantitative and qualitative study of transverse delineation; the purpose is the early detection of visual deficits in school-age children and to promote visual health through playful activities. The results showed that from the 250 children who participated of the eye health promotion fun activities only 143 children took the visual acuity test, since the others had not brought parental authorization. From those who submitted to the visual acuity test, 13 children were sent for retesting; all of them were then sent to the ophthalmology service, since the re-test continued to indicate vision problems. With regards to the use of games and playing, we have noticed that both the story and the characters in the puppet show were explicit in the children's comments. In conclusion, it was observed that vision plays a fundamental role in the physical and psychosocial development of children; therefore, ophthalmologic screening with early diagnosis of visual alterations is of extremely important.

Este artículo presenta los resultados del estudio cuyo objetivo fue establecer las diferencias en el riesgo familiar entre dos grupos de familias: con niños escolares de alto rendimiento y niños de bajo rendimiento académico en un centro educativo distrital de Bogotá. Metodología: estudio descriptivo comparativo transversal con un componente analítico y abordaje cuantitativo; la muestra fue de 186 familias, durante abril a julio de 2007. Los resultados muestran predominio de familias nucleares en ambos grupos (65%), relación inversa entre el riesgo familiar total evaluado por el instrumento RFT 7-70 y el rendimiento académico del escolar de la familia, es decir que las familias que registraron riesgo alto (9%) y medio (31%) en mayor proporción son familias con escolares de bajo rendimiento académico, frente al predominio del riesgo familiar bajo (78%) en las familias con niños de alto rendimiento. Se aplicó t de student para diferencia de medias y se encontró asociación (P = 0,02) entre el riesgo familiar total alto y el bajo rendimiento académico del escolar. En conclusión, estos resultados sugieren principalmente que se deben priorizar los factores de riesgo que determinan mayor riesgo familiar en familias con escolares de bajo rendimiento académico y dar atención de salud integral con enfoque familiar e intersectorial, y participación activa de la comunidad. Continuar investigando en posibles asociaciones entre salud individual, prácticas de salud, educación, ambiente socioeconómico y psicoafectivo de la familia y el logro educativo de escolares en familias con niños en edad escolar.Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um levantamento que objetiva estabelecer as diferenças no risco familiar entre dois grupos de famílias: com crianças escolares de alto aproveitamento acadêmico e crianças escolares de baixo aproveitamento acadêmico em um centro educativo distrital de Bogotá. Metodologia: levantamento descritivo comparativo transversal com um componente analítico e abordagem quantitativa; a amostra foi de 186 famílias, durante abril -julho de 2007. Os resultados apresentam predomínio de famílias nucleares em ambos os grupos (65%), relação inversa entre o risco familiar total avaliado pelo instrumento RFT 7-70 e o aproveitamento acadêmico do escolar da família, isto é, que as famílias que registraram alto risco (9%) e meio (31%) em maior proporção são famílias de escolares com baixo aproveitamento acadêmico, comparado com o predomínio de risco familiar baixo (78%) nas famílias de crianças de alto aproveitamento. Aplicou-se a t de student para diferença de médias e verificou-se uma associação (P = 0,02) entre o risco familiar total alto e o baixo aproveitamento acadêmico do escolar. Em conclusão, estes resultados sugerem principalmente que é preciso priorizar os fatores de risco que determinam maior risco familiar em famílias com escolares de aproveitamento acadêmico alto e cuidar a saúde integral com uma abordagem familiar e intersectorial, além de participar ativamente nas comunidades, continuar pesquisando sobre as possíveis associações entre a saúde individual, práticas de saúde, educação, ambiente socioeconômico e psicoafetivo da família, e o sucesso educativo de escolares em famílias com idade escolar.This article presents the results of a study whose objective was to establish the family risk differences among two groups of families: one with schoolchildren that show high academic performance and children that show low academic performance in an educational center in Bogotá. Methodology: cross-sectional comparative study with and analytic component and a quantitative approach; the sample was 186 families during the period April-July 2007. The results show a predominance of nuclear families in both groups (65%), reverse relation between the family risk evaluated by the RFT 7-70 instrument and the academic performance of the family´s schoolchild, that is to say that the families that recorded a high risk (9%) and average risk (31%) are, to a large extent, families with schoolchildren that show low academic performance, in respect of the predominance of low family risk (78%) in families with children that show high academic performance. The t of student was applied to differentiate averages and association was found (P = 0,02) between the total high family risk and the low academic performance of the schoolchild. In conclusion, these results suggest mainly that risk factors that determine higher family risk in families with schoolchildren who show low academic performance must be prioritized and that integral healthcare must be provided with a family and intersectorial approach as well as active participation from the community. Continue research activities in possible associations between individual health, health practice, and education, socio-economic and psycho-affective environment of the family and academic achievement of schoolchildren in families with school age children.
