  • ISBE Newsletter nº 5: Doentes infectados com SARS‐CoV‐2 e com doença cardíaca incidente têm pior prognóstico durante o internamento hospitalar - Inquérito clínico no Reino Unido e nos Estados Unidos realça a falta de informação e os mitos e crenças sobre a infecção pelo SARS‐CoV‐2
    Publication . Rachadell, Juan; Vareda, Raquel; Pinto, Fausto S.; Duarte, Rodrigo; Henriques, Susana Oliveira; Carneiro, António Vaz
    O objectivo da Newsletter do Instituto de Saúde Baseado na Evidência (ISBE) é a disponibilização de informação sobre áreas relevantes para a prática clínica, baseada na melhor evidência científica. São localizados estudos relevantes e de alta qualidade, criticamente avaliados pela sua validade, importância dos resultados e aplicabilidade prática e resumidos numa óptica de suporte à decisão clínica. É dada prioridade aos estudos de causalidade – revisões sistemáticas, ensaios clínicos, estudos de coorte prospectivos/retrospectivos, estudos seccionais cruzados e caso‐controlo – incluindo‐se ainda, quando justificado, estudos qualitativos considerados de elevada qualidade metodológica e importância clínica.

  • Building reciprocity: From safety-net to social transformation programmes
    Publication . Minas, Maria; Ribeiro, Maria Teresa; Anglin, James P.
    Topics of societal concern such as mental health and poverty reduction increasingly require action programs which operate within broad psycho-social and social justice perspectives. Models of practice centered in individual needs, although important, are not powerful enough to bring about social change when they operate in isolation. In this article we present the findings resulting from the observation of programs engaged in collaborating with socio-economically disadvantaged individuals, families and communities. The programs selected for study were nationally or internationally recognized for the quality and innovation of their methodologies or for having been subjected to scientific attention; some met both criteria. Altogether, 15 programs were visited, in North and South America and Europe. Through a grounded theory methodology, the processes of data collection and analysis led to the development of a theoretical framework which identifies a continuum of programs aimed at supporting the development of individuals, families and communities and which has at its core the central process of building reciprocity. This article presents and describes the continuum of programs and how each type relates to the process of building reciprocity and establishes links with other relevant and significant concepts in the framework. Finally, implications for further research are explored.
