0190/2025 - Análise das demandas de literacia em saúde no Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira Analysis of health literacy demands in the Food Guide for the Brazilian Population Health literacy in the Food Guide
O presente estudo tem por objetivo identificar as demandas de literacia em saúde, organizadas a partir de seus distintos domínios, presentes na segunda edição do Guia Alimentar para a População Brasileira (2014). Se configura como estudo exploratório-descritivo, estruturado a partir da aplicação de protocolo, validado anteriormente para o contexto nacional, de análise de demandas de literacia em saúde, presentes no material, com posterior análise de conteúdo dos trechos identificados e organizados em matriz. A análise dos resultados identificou possíveis barreiras para compreensão e significação das recomendações do guia, organizadas a partir dos domínios fundamental, científico, cívico e cultural da literacia em saúde, desde o uso de linguagem não coloquial e jargões, até a impossibilidade de seguir as orientações ali presentes, pelo contexto do grupo social. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de aproximar forma e conteúdo do material às demandas de literacia em saúde de seus potenciais beneficiários, facilitando o acesso, a compreensão, a avaliação e a significação de suas recomendações por parte de trabalhadores da saúde e grupos da população a que se destina.

Abstract:
The present study aims to identify the health literacy demands, organized based on their different domains, present in the second edition of the Dietary Guidelines for the Brazilian Population (2014). It is an exploratory-descriptive study, based on the application of a protocol, previously validated for the national context, for health literacy load analysis of the material, with subsequent content analysis of selected excerpts, organized in a matrix. The analysis of the results identified possible barriers to understanding and make meaning of the Guide recommendations, organized according to the fundamental, scientific, civic, and cultural domains of health literacy, which ranged from the use of non-colloquial language and jargon to the impossibility of following the recommendations present therein, due to the context of the social group. The results point to the need to bring the form and content of the material closer to the health literacy demands of its potential beneficiaries, facilitating access, understanding, evaluation and significance of its recommendations by health workers and groups of the population for whom it is intended.
