- AVASUS’ contributions to promoting lifelong learning in health: toward achieving the SDGs and strengthening global health securityPublication . Romão, Manoel Honório; Dias, Aline de Pinho; Caitano, Alexandre; Batista, Natalia Araujo do Nascimento; Valentim, Janaína Luana Rodrigues da Silva; Oliveira, Eloiza da Silva Gomes de; Lima, Thaísa Góis Farias de Moura Santos; Morgado, Lina; Rêgo, Maria Carmem F. D.; Oliveira, Carlos Alberto Pereira de; Coutinho, Karilany Dantas; Medeiros, Kelson C.; Bonfim, Marilyn; Melo, Ronaldo S.; Gusmão, Cristine Martins Gomes de; Lacerda, Juciano; Melo, Marcella da Rocha; Gallego, Almudena; Valentim, RicardoThe Virtual Learning Environment of the Brazilian Health System (AVASUS) was developed by the Laboratory for Technological Innovation in Health (LAIS) and the Secretariat of Distance Education (SEDIS) at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) in partnership with Brazil’s Ministry of Health (MoH). AVASUS provides open educational resources in the health field and has emerged as the third largest platform for massive health education globally, with more than one million students. Among the various learning pathways AVASUS offers, some specifically focus on meeting the educational needs to address public health emergencies and overlooked health contexts. The main argument in this study is that technology mediated lifelong learning in health is an effective strategy for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda. This chapter analyzes the pathways related to COVID-19, syphilis, and prison health, focusing on the con tributions towards achieving SDGs 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 16, and 17 and fulfilling the Global Health Security Agenda. Our analysis revealed two key findings. Lifelong learning in health (i) prompts decision-making on public health policies and (ii) contributes towards implementing the SDGs. Ultimately, AVASUS should be recognized as a tool to improve health services and support policy-making
- Development of an application prototype for mobile devices about pregnancy and syphilis in pregnancy as a health education strategPublication . Oliveira, Andressa Cristina Batista de Lacerda; Morgado, Lina; Dias, Aline de Pinho; Caldeira, Ana Katarine de Oliveira; Moura, Ana Beatriz de Medeiros; Oliveira Junior, Mauricio da SilvaSyphilis is a systemic sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It has chronic evolution and is subject to flare-ups and latency periods when untreated, which can produce the acquired or congenital forms of the disease. It has been acknowledged in 2016 as an epidemic in Brazil. Objective: To identify the information needs of pregnant women regarding syphilis during pregnancy and congenital syphilis, aiming to assist in the development of a technology-mediated educational resource as a strategy to promote health and fight the syphilis epidemic. Methods: The prior knowledge of pregnant women assisted in high-risk prenatal care at the Maternity of Divino Amor in Parnamirim/RN was investigated, in order to identify the information needs of this population and support the development of a prototype of an educational resource in prenatal care services that use technological mediation, education and communication as distance health education strategies. Results: Forty-six pregnant women who demonstrated to have gaps in knowledge about syphilis were assessed with regard to: signs and symptoms of the disease, prevention measures, and vertical transmission. Conclusion: These findings supported the development of a prototype educational resource that intends to be an important source of information for the adoption of preventive health measures, contributing to the learning process of pregnant women, to the improvement of health indicators in this population and the reduction of congenital syphilis cases.
