METHODOLOGY: This was a quantitative, descriptive study carried out with 90 puerperal women who were or were not breastfeeding. Data collection took place between August 14 and September 30, 2023, with the application of a form for women at the bedside and the collection of information obtained from medical records. The SPSS for Windows version 22.0 statistical package was used to analyze the data, describing the variables using their simple and relative frequencies. RESULTS: Among the puerperal women surveyed, 98.9% reported having had prenatal care and of these, 56.2% said they had not received any information about breastfeeding during prenatal care, 58.8% reported having been able to breastfeed within the first hour of the newborn's life, 82.2% knew the benefits of breastfeeding. With regard to knowledge about breastfeeding, 88.9% knew about the proper latching of the NB to the breast at the time of breastfeeding, 98.9% were breastfeeding their NB at the time of the interview and, of these, 68.9% were breastfeeding exclusively. 31.1% of NBs needed some kind of supplement during hospitalization, with the justification of low milk production (71.5%) being a medical indication. CONCLUSIONS: Puerperal women's knowledge and practice of the breastfeeding process are essential tools for maintaining breastfeeding, as they help to prevent difficulties during the process. Understanding the specificities related to breastfeeding can contribute to structuring and implementing strategies aimed at women and health services, in order to improve the coverage and quality of the breastfeeding process.

It is an interdisciplinary study between Cognitive Linguistics (CL) and Political Science, qualitative, based on Kövecses's Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) (2020). To this end, it observes and analyzes the verbal content of the audiovisual recording of the interview, available on the Roda Viva YouTube channel. Through bibliographical, intuitive, lexical-specialized, and rhizomatic construction analysis approaches, we arrive at multilevel structures of conceptualizations of “politics”, as indicated by Kövecses (2020). These metaphorical conceptualizations occur at the levels of image schemas, domains, frames, and mental spaces, in the form of a hierarchy of schematicity/specificity. Ventures between CL and Political Science were carried out by Lakoff (2006; 2009) and also underpin the procedures here, derived from the view of language and mind as a structured continuum, according to CL (Evans, Green, 2006; Lakoff, Johnson, 2002; Kövecses, 2002). To describe and interpret the multilevel structures of conceptualizations of “politics,” political scientists Dahl (2005), Sartori (1994), Bianchi, Rezende and Teixeira (2019), Couto (2019), Franzese and Pedroti (2005) and Pinto and Teixeira (2023) are used here to understand democracy and the Brazilian political system, in which the conceptualizer holds the position of Minister of the Environment and Climate Change. This interdisciplinary theoretical contribution, from Cognitive Linguistics (CL) and Political Science, enriches the description and interpretation of the three multilevel structures activated by Marina Silva in the observed interview, referring to the metaphors at the frame level POLITICS IS PROTECTION, POLITICS IS GAME, and POLITICS IS FIGHT/WAR. The research project for this dissertation received a master's scholarship from the Bahia Research Foundation (FAPESB, Grant Term No. 00091461614) and was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (CEP-UEFS, opinion No. 7,109,592).

This phenomenon, associated with factors such as the prevalence of chronic and degenerative diseases, can lead to limitations in the autonomy and independence of older people. The dependency of elderly individuals, whether physical or cognitive, requires specific care to meet their needs. This phenomenological study aims to understand the caregivers' perception of the challenges faced when caring for elderly dependent individuals. The project was approved by the Ethics Committee in Research with Human Beings at the State University of Feira de Santana, according to opinion No. 6.745.183. The study was conducted at a Long-Term Care Institution for the Elderly in the interior of Bahia. The study involved 12 caregivers of elderly individuals, both formal and informal caregivers, and data was collected in August 2024 through phenomenological interviews guided by Maurice Merleau-Ponty's theoretical framework. The data analysis followed the Situated Phenomenon proposal by Martins and Bicudo. From the analysis, five empirical categories emerged: Caregivers' perceptions about the process of caring for dependent elderly people; The actions and practices involved in caring for elderly people; Family participation in the process of caring for elderly people; Perceptions about the challenges faced in the caregiving process for dependent elderly people; Promotion of quality care. The results revealed that caregivers perceive caregiving as involving emotional dimensions and deep relationships. The main challenge reported by caregivers was the lack of support from families, as well as the difficulty of sharing the responsibilities inherent in caregiving, which results in physical and emotional overload for caregivers who are forced to neglect aspects of their own lives, thus increasing the risks of physical and mental illness. Another challenge highlighted was the management of multiple pathologies and the illness process of elderly individuals, associated with the financial fragility faced by families. For quality care to be provided, caregivers pointed out the need for qualification, especially for family caregivers who take on this role without any prior training. In the context of Long-Term Care Institutions for the Elderly, the need for a redesign of work teams was revealed, aiming to educe the overload of activities. The need for interdisciplinary follow-up was emphasized, integrating families and care teams to ensure qualified and comprehensive care. It is concluded that caregivers of elderly individuals face multiple challenges in performing their duties and lack adequate support from families, health teams, and social services. Given this reality, the development and implementation of public policies that provide effective support to families with dependent elderly people is essential, considering the high care demands and financial costs involved. As a product of this study, a manual for caregivers of elderly people was created,with the aim of guiding caregivers and families in promoting safer and higher-quality care.

Primary Health Care (PHC) plays a crucial role in this context and serves as a privileged access point to reproductive health. Including information on sexual and reproductive health in PHC allows women to make informed choices, care for themselves and others, prevent risky situations, promote health, and gain a holistic view of body and mind. This study aims to analyze access to reproductive health in the municipality of Camaçari-BA as a right through the lens of reproductive planning, using the following access dimensions: political, socio-economic, organizational, technical, and symbolic. This is a qualitative exploratory study. Qualitative research is suitable for this study as it allows for the exploration of complex and subjective aspects, enabling an understanding of beliefs, values, and practices related to reproductive health. It also allows participants to express their experiences, fears, hopes, and challenges, which can aid in investigating issues related to health service accessibility, professional work, and reproductive rights. The study was conducted at Family Health Units (FHU) and Basic Health Units (BHU) in the CostaDistrict of Camaçari, with interview participants including women in reproductive planning, nurses, doctors, and municipal health managers involved in women’s health in Camaçari-BA.Data collection techniques included semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and systematic observation. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis, with an Excel spreadsheet created to extract themes, leading to the identification of five categories. The research findings indicate a lack of awareness regarding the right to reproductive health in thepolitical dimension, highlighting barriers that limit access. In the socio-economic dimension,economic and social barriers hinder full access. In the organizational dimension, geographic access issues and structural weaknesses in services were found, with insufficient resources to ensure continuous and quality care. In the technical dimension, the lack of effective planning, fragile connections, and reception between users and services compromise continuity of care. The symbolic dimension revealed the influence of taboos, religious dilemmas, and misinformation about contraceptive methods, negatively impacting women’s autonomy and right to reproductive planning. The study observed a need to implement strategies such as welldefined and disseminated organizational flows, health education, and continuous training to improve access to reproductive health in Camaçari. As products of this study, two technical products were suggested, which were the creation of a section on the city hall website with documents on reproductive health and the development of a unified flowchart that maps all the assistance options for promoting reproductive health in the city's Health Care Network (RAS), and the scientific product, which was the manuscript.
