The project entitled Promotion of Health Eating Habits by Schools, operating in the Federal District of Brazil since 2001, encourages good eating habits in the school community within the context of promoting healthy lifestyles and preventing chronic non-communicable diseases. The current article presents and analyzes a methodology to train preschool and elementary educators and school cafeteria owners. The workshops included theoretical classes, practical activities, and educational games and were evaluated on the basis of expansion and applicability of knowledge, in addition to implementation of the 10 steps to a healthy school cafeteria. The proposed pedagogical activities were verified by an analysis of the teachers' workshop folders. The overall evaluation was positive, with expansion of knowledge (p < 0.05) among participants for the three workshop modules. The objectives laid out in the workshop folders were reached by 44% of the teachers. In the implementation of the healthy cafeteria, positive results were observed when comparing the pre and post-training periods. The methodology helped expand knowledge for both teachers and cafeteria owners, highlighting the school community as a prime space for promoting healthy eating.

JESUS, L.C. Religious and spiritual coping among nursing professionals who work in emergency units. 2011. 83p. Dissertation (MA) – Ribeirão Preto College of Nursing, University of São Paulo, Ribeirão Preto, 2011. Researches published in the area of spiritual/religious coping (SRC) still not addressed this issue related to nursing professionals who are submitted to different stress factors arising not only from their work practice, but also from their everyday life outside the workplace. This study aimed to verify if nursing staff (assistants, technicians and nurses) uses the spiritual/religious coping to deal with the stress factors experienced both at work and in private life. It is a cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative study in which all nurses of the Emergency Unit of the Hospital das Clínicas of the University of São Paulo at Ribeirão Preto Medical School were invited to participate, obtaining a sample of 126 participants who were given an envelope containing a free consent form, the General Questionnaire, and the Spiritual Religious Coping Scale (SRCOPE Scale), which were completely filled out by the participants out of the workplace and then returned to the researcher. The results showed that the SRC average was 3.66, the positive SRC average was 3.11, the negative SRC average was 1.78, and that women make more use of positive spiritual/religious coping than men. Regarding the situation of stress mentioned by the participants, it was found that the majority reported having experienced a stressful situation in the family setting (61.1%); 25.4% reported having experienced a stressful situation in the workplace; 2.4% reported having experienced stressful situations in both environments; and 10.3% reported not having experienced any stressful situation during the period of the study. Only 0.8% of the participants did not answer the questions. The results obtained through the index of the SRC Scale were expected in view of the religiosity of the Brazilian people, especially the religiosity of Brazilian women, however, it was not seen the impact of the use of spiritual/religious coping for the health of this professional category, which warrants further studies, particularly with respect to the impact of the use of negative dimension of the SRC, which, although it was rarely used by the participants in this study, it is an important information that can affect the health of those who make its use, leaving it to future researchers in this area also investigate possible ways to work to achieve the promotion of the spiritual dimension of nursing professionals.

SUMMARY. The high prevalence of overweight and obesity among schoolchildren in Brazil and worldwide has shown that strategies to promote healthy eating habits are needed. Santa Catarina was the first Brazilian State to promulgate specific legislation to regulate the food commercialized in schools (Law no 12.061/2001). The objective was to assess the functioning of school canteens in eight key municipalities of Santa Catarina, investigating whether the foods sold were in accordance with the Law. A questionnaire was completed by the principals and those responsible for the canteens. Item Response Theory was used to examine the levels of compliance with the Law. In all 345 schools took part. Of these, 156 (45%) had a canteen. The presence of a canteen was significantly higher in the private sector (p<0.001). The majority of the canteens (n=105; 68.2%) did not sell fried snacks, soft drinks, industrialised popcorn, hard candies, lollipops and chewing gum and industrialised packaged snacks. The items which were least likely to comply with the Law were juices and the daily availability of fruits. The notice board on diet was present in only 7.1% of the establishments. Many canteens offered items of low nutritional value. The inspection of these establishments is necessary, together with educational actions targeting the proprietors of the canteens as well as the schools themselves. Training for the canteen’s proprietors may constitute a strategy that will guarantee the economic viability of these establishments and the possibility of
