Resumo: Objectives: This study aimed to analyse activities and projects to promote healthy lifestyles carried out in Baixo Alentejo (Portugal), and to understand, from the perspective of health professionals (nurses, and other health professionals in primary health care) and representatives of municipalities, the factors that influence the development of these activities and projects to promote healthy lifestyles. Method: Exploratory-descriptive study using the qualitative inquiry method. A nonprobability sample of fourteen professionals (from primary health care and municipalities) who have a key role in the development of interventions to promote healthy lifestyles was considered appropriate. Semi-structured interviews were used and their content was analysed. Findings: We present the results of the preliminary analysis where five categories emerged: 1. Interventions to promote healthy lifestyles; 2. Effectiveness of interventions in the adoption of healthy lifestyles; 3. Factors that influence the development of interventions to promote healthy lifestyles; 4. Environment facilitator of healthy choices, and 5. Nurse’s role in healthy lifestyles promotion. Conclusions: The interventions are directed mainly at children and the elderly, and are usually developed by the health sector, but municipalities also have an active role. An interesting range of inter-professional and inter-sectoral collaborative partnerships in health promotion intervention was described, mostly initiated by primary care teams. Municipalities and other community organizations also seek the health sector as a preferred partner in health promotion interventions. Community participation is one of the most frequently mentioned strategies to increase the effectiveness of health promotion interventions, however, there are difficulties in community empowerment and a lack of culture of participation in people and communities. Regarding the factors that influence the development of interventions to promote healthy lifestyles, these may be related to the participants, the professionals, the intervention, or the organizations. The role of nurses was evidenced by all respondents, recognizing that nurses play a key role in the development of promotion interventions of healthy lifestyles.

Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo exploratório e descritivo, com recurso a uma metodologia de natureza qualitativa, numa amostra não probabilística constituída por catorze profissionais com um papel chave no desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis. Utilizaram-se entrevistas semiestruturadas e realizou-se análise qualitativa de conteúdo. Resultados: Apresentam-se os resultados da análise preliminar onde emergiram cinco categorias: 1. Intervenções de promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis; 2. Eficácia das intervenções na adoção de estilos de vida saudáveis; 3. Fatores que influenciam as intervenções de promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis; 4. Ambiente facilitador de escolhas saudáveis; e 5. Papel do Enfermeiro na promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis. Conclusão: A maioria das intervenções promotoras de estilos de vida saudáveis, no Baixo Alentejo, são dirigidas a crianças e idosos e surgem por iniciativa dos profissionais de saúde tendo também os municípios um papel ativo nesse domínio. Foi descrito um conjunto de parcerias interprofissionais e intersectoriais, principalmente iniciadas pelas equipas dos Cuidados de Saúde Primários. Os municípios e outras organizações também procuram o setor de saúde como um parceiro preferencial para as intervenções de promoção da saúde. A participação ativa dos cidadãos é uma das estratégias mais mencionadas para aumentar a eficácia das intervenções de promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis. No entanto, são identificadas dificuldades e uma ausência de cultura de participação individual e coletiva na população. No que respeita aos fatores que influenciam o desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis, os dados revelam que estes podem estar relacionados com os participantes, com os profissionais, com a intervenção ou com as organizações. O papel dos enfermeiros surge evidenciado pelos entrevistados, que reconhecem que os enfermeiros desempenham um papel chave no desenvolvimento de intervenções de promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis.Escola Superior de Enfermagem de Lisboa - ESEL/ CIDNUR2016-08-07info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.56732/pensarenf.v20i1.113https://doi.org/10.56732/pensarenf.v20i1.113Pensar Enfermagem ; Vol. 20 No. 1 (2016): Journal of Nursing Pensar Enfermagem; 27-51Pensar Enfermagem ; Vol. 20 N.º 1 (2016): Revista Científica Pensar Enfermagem; 27-511647-55260873-890410.56732/pensarenf.v20i1reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPporhttps://pensarenfermagem.esel.pt/index.php/esel/article/view/113https://pensarenfermagem.esel.pt/index.php/esel/article/view/113/107Sobral Canhestro, AnaLima Basto, Martainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-09-26T10:38:01Zoai:pensarenfermagem.esel.pt:article/113Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T20:31:11.117822Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
