Abstract
ABSTRACT We evaluated the quality of care provided by the nursing team within specialized care services (SCS) from the perspective of persons with HIV (PWH). A cross-sectional study was conducted in 25 SCS selected by a single-stage cluster sampling in 21 municipalities in Brazil. Systematic sampling was performed between October 2019 and March 2020 in the reception areas of SCS locations to choose the study population ( N = 377). The adapted and validated Quality of Care Through the Patient's Eyes-HIV (QUOTE-HIV) questionnaire was used to measure the quality of perceived care, and the Mann-Whitney test to compare the scores between men and women. Of the 377 PWH, most were women (57.71%), Black or Brown (85.9%), heterosexual (67.1%), and cisgendered (96.0%); the mean age was ≥30 years (76.1%). Users' evaluation of the care provided by SCS according to scores of importance and performance of the QUOTE-HIV instrument ranged from 5.60 to 8.95 and 0.03 to 0.76, respectively. The perception of PWH about the quality of care provided by the nursing team in SCS suggests that there are opportunities to improve.

Abstract
This study examined the relationship between weight stigma and disordered eating behaviors in university students during the COVID-19 pandemic, considering individuals with and without overweight. A national sample of 738 college students completed an online questionnaire at three time points between July 2020 and December 2021, reporting their experiences of weight stigma, perceived increase in weight stigma during the pandemic, internalized weight stigma, and disordered eating behaviors. The findings showed that the trajectories of disordered eating behaviors varied depending on participants' anthropometric status. Among those with overweight, there was a decrease over time in binge eating, food restriction, and purging. Conversely, the non-overweight group experienced a slight increase in binge eating from T2 to T3. Using the Generalized Estimating Equations model, the study revealed that weight stigma predicted disordered eating behaviors in both weight spectrums during the pandemic. Experiences of weight stigma and the perceived increase in weight stigma significantly increased the likelihood of engaging in binge eating, food restriction, and purging among individuals with overweight. Furthermore, the internalization of weight stigma was longitudinally associated with all examined eating behaviors, regardless of anthropometric status. These findings highlight the importance of addressing weight stigma to prevent disordered eating in college students.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the relationship between weight stigma experiences and disordered eating behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic is mediated by weight gain concern and psychological distress among university students with and without overweight. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with university students from five regions of Brazil who participated in the baseline assessment of the Online Cohort on Eating Behavior and Health (July/August 2020). Information on the frequency of binge eating episodes, food restriction, and purging, as well as experienced weight stigma, weight gain concern, and psychological distress, were recorded in an online questionnaire. Stratified structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses were performed to address the research questions of interest. RESULTS Out of the total sample (n = 2511), 33.5% of participants reported experiencing weight stigma. The prevalence of binge eating episodes, food restriction, and purging was 43.7%, 24.1%, and 5.4%, respectively. These behaviors were more prevalent in individuals with overweight than in those without this condition. Furthermore, it was observed that weight gain concern and psychological distress mediated the relationship between weight stigma and disordered eating behaviors regardless of body weight status. CONCLUSIONS Experiences of weight stigma and disordered eating behaviors were prevalent among Brazilian university students, especially among those with overweight. Weight gain concern and psychological distress appear to be important factors underlying the relationship between these constructs during the pandemic, and they can contribute to the development of targeted strategies for the prevention and management of disordered eating.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to identify factors that interfere with the adoption of good hygiene practices in public school food services (SFS) in Bahia, Brazil. The search was conducted in public schools in Bahia/Brazil. Data collection included (i) evaluation of the adoption of Good Practices in school food services through visual observation and registration in the checklist in Good Hygienic Practices in School Food Services; (ii) Identification of schools' foodservice physical areas and environmental comfort measures; (iii) identification of sociodemographic and occupational characteristics and assessment of attitudes and level of knowledge in food hygiene. The minimum sample of 158 schools (confidence level of 95% and an error of 5%) was stratified considering the total number of districts (areas) and the schools' number per area. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Science-SPSS® in version 26.0. The categorical variables were described as frequencies and percentages, and the quantitative variables as mean and standard deviation. Chi-square, Kruskal-Wallis with Tukey's post-hoc tests were used to examine qualitative variables. Independent Student t-test and ANOVA with Tukey's post-hoc tests were used to examine quantitative variables. Categorical variables were evaluated by Pearson Chi-squared tests. The Pearson test was used to analyze the correlation between Attitude and knowledge. The classification of the sanitary status was of moderate risk in 74.8% (n = 119) of the SFS (51-75% of compliance) and 25.2% (n = 40) at high risk (26-50% compliance). The average percentage of compliance for the 159 SFS in the municipality was 50.23%, obtaining a high-risk classification (26-50% compliance). In the SFS, the absence of dry goods' storage, meat preparation area, and storage of residues in more than 98% of schools was observed. Accessing attitudes, 1.4% (n = 2) of the food handlers were classified as unsatisfactory (0 to 49% of correct answers), 8.5% (n = 12) as satisfactory with restriction (50-69% of correct answers) and 90.1% (n = 128) as satisfactory. There was no correlation between Attitude and Knowledge level (p = 0.394). Considering the knowledge level, the item with the highest and lowest number of hits were: "To avoid food contamination, I wash and disinfect my hands before preparing food" and "Contaminated food will always have some change in color, smell, or taste". There was a significant difference in the level of knowledge considering mean wage (p = 0.000), time working in school food service (p = 0.001), weekly workday (p = 0.000), and participation in food hygiene training (p = 0.000). Therefore, factors that interfered in adopting good practices in the SFS were: inadequate physical structure, absence of areas in the SFS, and absence/low number of equipment to control the production process in the cold and hot chain. Food handlers showed satisfactory attitudes and level of knowledge. However, the physical structure of the SFS compromises the adoption of good practices. It risks the safety of the food served to students at the evaluated public schools.

Abstract
Food service work is hazardous due to the intense rhythm of food production, and the working conditions can cause discomfort, fatigue, and occupational accidents and illnesses. For the perception of exposure to occupational hazards, workers must participate in continuing education programs. This study aimed to verify the perception and exposure to occupational risks at school food services (SFS) in Bahia, Brazil. This cross-sectional study was conducted in SFS from public schools in Bahia/Brazil. Researchers identified sociodemographic variables, occupational characteristics, and the Perception of Exposure to Occupational Risks by SFS food handlers. Also, anthropometric assessment (weight, height, and waist circumference), the presence of comorbidities, and the identification of exposure to occupational risks and measures of environmental comfort were evaluated. Most workers were female (98.6%; n = 140), mean age of 46.85 y/o, working as SFS food handlers between 1 and 5 years (50.7%; n = 72) but with no training on occupational risks (52.8%; n = 75). This lack of training is not associated with demographic or other occupational variables. The majority of the food handlers present a fair or good perception of exposure to occupational risk. These food handlers are also mostly overweight, and higher BMI was associated with hypertension and edema. The SFS were classified as of high occupational risk (mean of 31.24% of adequacy) environments. Ergonomic Risks had the lowest percentage of adequacy (7.69%, very high risk) regarding occupational risks, followed by chemical risks (31.5% of adequacy, high risk), accident risk (32.19%, high risk), and physical risk (36.89%, high risk). The excess of activities associated with precarious physical structure, insufficient number of equipment and utensils (in inadequate conservation) favors the exposure to occupational risk in SFS.

Abstract
Diet is a vital health question for workers. This review of the related literature sought to identify the elements that could contribute to an examination of the topic and help ascertain how it has been approached from a historical perspective. Our bibliographic research was based primarily on the Scientific Electronic Library On-line, from which pertinent articles were selected for analysis, without regard to year of publication. Among other findings, studies on worker health proved scarce; moreover, the few studies that have explored nutrition focus on the Worker's Food Program, primarily from a quantitative perspective and without taking the category of 'work process' into account in their analyses.

Abstract
A distribuição de vitamina A em Dias Nacionais de Vacinação ocorre desde 1983; o Brasil foi pioneiro nesse tipo de intervenção. O estudo avaliou o programa no período de 1995-2002 na perspectiva de estrutura-processo-resultado. A metodologia envolveu pesquisa documental, entrevistas com gestores e estudo de caso em 44 municípios da Bahia, resultando em 1.344 questionários domiciliares. Em relação à estrutura, o programa operou sem instrumento normativo a partir de 1998, decorrente da extinção do Instituto Nacional de Alimentação e Nutrição. Melhorias nos processos de aquisição e distribuição do suplemento impactaram positivamente na sua cobertura; em 2002, foram distribuídas 3,5 milhões de cápsulas (cobertura 72%). Nas 2.546 crianças estudadas na Bahia, não houve regularidade na distribuição e a cobertura anual variou de 8% a 26%. As limitações de tempo e recursos humanos, informadas pelos gestores, corroboram a hipótese de que essa estratégia não contribui para esclarecer a população sobre a importância da vitamina. Os achados mostram ser necessária a articulação sistemática entre esferas de governo para que o programa seja executado e monitorado em sua plenitude.

Abstract
O estudo avaliou o Programa de Alimentação do Trabalhador (PAT) entre 1995 e 2002, sob a ótica da estrutura-processo-resultado. A metodologia consistiu em pesquisa documental e estudo de caso em 45 municípios na Bahia, resultando em 2.389 questionários domiciliares. Em termos de estrutura analisou-se a evolução normativa do programa até 2002. Quanto ao atendimento das necessidades nutricionais dos trabalhadores, o programa passou de uma insuficiente adequação calórica nos anos 80 para uma associação positiva entre sobrepeso e trabalho em empresa com PAT. Na Bahia a cobertura foi insuficiente entre os 5.120 adultos maiores de 20 anos investigados. Houve diferença significativa no acesso a benefícios alimentares entre trabalhadores do interior (26,1%) e da capital (6,1%). Contudo, a focalização foi adequada: todos os beneficiados no interior e 92,4% na capital tinham renda menor que cinco salários mínimos. Faz-se necessária uma maior divulgação do PAT junto à população alvo, de forma a conscientizar os trabalhadores sobre os seus direitos e as ações desenvolvidas pelo Programa.

Abstract
Esse projeto pedagógico fundamenta-se em princípios que estão vinculados a oito eixos educacionais, a saber: perfil profissional, competências, objetivos educacionais, eixos temáticos, organização curricular, estratégias educacionais, sistema de avaliação da aprendizagem e processo de acompanhamento e avaliação do curso. Esses eixos educacionais baseiam-se na prática multiprofissional, bem como na integração do conhecimento, visando à superação das dicotomias: biológico versus social, teoria versus prática, ciclo básico versus ciclo profissional e abordagem individual versus abordagem coletiva. A busca da flexibilização curricular e a utilização de metodologias inovadoras, que visam a uma nova forma de aprender, pautadas na autonomia e independência do aluno, são também elementos centrais do projeto. Para tanto, o aprimoramento científico-pedagógico do corpo docente e o processo de avaliação - tanto do curso, quanto dos alunos - também são incorporados ao projeto. Pretende-se socializar esta discussão com vistas a contribuir para o aprimoramento da formação do nutricionista no Brasil.
