Resumo: | Despite increased governmental efforts towards promoting healthy and active lifestylesamong Brazilians, physical inactivity is a serious concern in the population. Therefore, wedeveloped a new approach to community interventions for the promotion of physical activitycalled “Project VAMOS: Active Living, Enhancing Health”. In this article we review information about the conception of the program, as well as name, brand, and logo development. We discussissues related to translation and cultural adaptation, evaluation strategies, and we review lessonslearned from the pilot phase of the project that involved older adults and public health centers(CS) in Florianopolis. One hundred older adults registered in six CS participated in the pilot study.They were randomly assigned into three different groups: “VAMOS” (n=33), traditional physicalactivity classes (n=35), and a control group (n=32). “VAMOS” is an educational program basedon behavioral change principles that consists of 12 meetings. Based on an American evidence--based program (“Active Living Every Day”), “VAMOS” was translated and culturally adaptedto the Brazilian context. A number of adjustments were made to the original American versionof the program prior to conducting the pilot study. For example, the content of the lessons andhomework were revised, we shortened the length of the lessons, as well as lowered the complexityof some of the materials. The results of the pilot study suggest that there was broad acceptanceof the “VAMOS“program by the older adult participants. Also, interviews with administrativestaff and health professionals working for the CS indicated a possibility and interest to continueto offer “VAMOS” as part of their regular programming for the community. In summary, “VAMOS”has great potential to be used with the Brazilian population. Adjustments are necessaryfor its utilization with other age groups and across different regions in Brazil. |

Neste artigo, serão discutidos informaçõesreferentes à concepção, à criação do nome, ao logotipo, à tradução, às adaptaçõesculturais, às estratégias de avaliação do programa e aos primeiros resultados obtidos no estudopiloto conduzido entre idosos em Centros de Saúde (CS) de Florianópolis. Participaram doestudo 100 idosos cadastrados em seis CS. Os idosos foram direcionados aleatoriamente aparticiparem de um dos três grupos do estudo: “VAMOS” (n=33), atividade fisica “tradicional”(n=35), e grupo controle (n=32). “VAMOS” é um programa educacional de mudançade comportamento que consiste em 12 encontros. Baseado no programa norte-americano“Active Living Every Day”, o “VAMOS” foi traduzido e adaptado culturalmente à realidadebrasileira. Vários ajustes foram realizados à versão original americana do programa, especialmente,nos conteúdos de leitura, preenchimento do material, tamanho e dificuldadede compreeenssão de algumas sessões. O estudo piloto apontou uma aceitação muito boaao programa “VAMOS“, por parte dos idosos. Entrevistas com gestores e profissionais doscentros de saúde apontaram a viabilidade e o interesse deles em oferecer o “VAMOS” à comunidadecomo atividade rotineira da rede de saúde pública. Conclue-se que o “VAMOS”tem potencial de uso para a população brasileira, embora seja necessário alguns ajustes parasua utilização com outras faixas etárias e nas diferentes regiões do Brasil.Palavras-chave: Programa de atividade física; Centros de saúde; Idosos; Mudança decomportamento.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
