Artigo An innovative educational strategy to addressing cultural competence in healthcare for quilombola women(Taylor and Francis, 2019) Freitas Junior, Reginaldo Antonio de Oliveira; Santos, Carolina Araujo Damasio; Lisboa, Lilian Lira; Freitas, Ana Karla Monteiro Santana de Oliveira; Azevedo, George Dantas deThe Quilombola community is made up of descendants of enslaved Africans. These people represent an ethnic minority group within the Brazilian Black population with worse health indicators including higher rates of maternal mortality. Context: The Brazilian National Guidelines for education of health professionals state that cultural competence and education of ethnic‑racial relations need to be reinforced. Activities: An action research initiative was developed with the main goal of contributing to the development of cultural competence, interprofessional education, and collaborative work as well as improving the maternal and child indicators of the Quilombola community. An elective module for undergraduate health courses with the subject “Cultural Competence in Health Care for Quilombola Women” was implemented. Data on health‑related needs identification, students’ perceptions about interactions with the community, and competencies necessary to work with the Quilombola community were considered. Outcomes: Our educational strategy reinforces the importance of considering the processes that influence the health care of this population. The reflective capacity and communication skills emerged as the most important attitudinal and psychomotor components, respectively. Future Directions: Sustainability comes from partnerships established between the Quilombola community and the university to institutionalize educational and research strategies. This project contributes to reducing health inequities and deconstructing racism in the training of future health professionals. Conclusions: The creation of links, the building of trust between users and health staff, and the ability to reflect, with emphasis on communication, were shown as the main components of culturally competent behavior in maternal health care in the studied Quilombola populationArtigo Clustering of risk factors for cardiometabolic diseases in low-income, female adolescents(Sociedade Brasileira de Endocrinologia e Metabologia, 2016-06) Melo, Elza Maria Fernandes Seabra de; Azevedo, George Dantas de; Silva, João Batista da; Lemos, Telma Maria Araujo Moura; Maranhão, Técia M. O.; Freitas, Ana Karla Monteiro Santana de Oliveira; Spyrides, Maria H.; Costa, Eduardo CaldasObjective: To assess the prevalence and clustering patterns of cardiometabolic risk factors among low-income, female adolescents. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional study involving 196 students of public schools (11-19 years old). The following risk factors were considered in the analysis: excess weight, central obesity, dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, and high fasting glucose. The ratio between observed and expected prevalence and its confidence interval were used to identify clustering of risk factors that exceeded expected prevalence in the population. Results: The most prevalent risk factors were dyslipidemia (70.9%), and central obesity (39.8%), followed by excess weight (29.6%), and high blood pressure (12.8%). A total of 42.9% of adolescents had two or more risk factors, and 24% had three or more. Excess weight, central obesity, and dyslipidemia were common risk factors in the clustering patterns that showed higher-than-expected prevalence. Conclusions: Clustering of risk factors (≥ two factors) among the adolescents showed considerable prevalence, and there was a non-casual coexistence of excess weight, central obesity, and dyslipidemia (mainly low HDL-cholesterol).Artigo Efeito da idade materna sobre os resultados perinatais(Revista Brasileira de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2002) Azevedo, George Dantas de; Freitas Júnior, Reginaldo Antonio de Oliveira; Freitas, Ana Karla Monteiro Santana de Oliveira; Araújo, Ana Cristina Pinheiro Fernandes de; Soares, Elvira Maria Mafaldo; Maranhão, Técia Maria de Oliveira
