O campo da saúde se apresenta como espaço de produção de conhecimento e práticas em transformação, que procura explicar a saúde para melhor intervir num contexto ampliado de vida. Buscamos explorar a trajetória histórico-político-conceitual da constituição do campo da Saúde Coletiva no Brasil, apoiando-nos em uma metodologia que utiliza elementos analíticos da própria reflexão que o estudo traz. Por meio das bases de dados teórico-conceituais, desenvolvemos uma análise para compreendermos o campo a partir de um olhar crítico sobre a cientificização das áreas de conhecimento. Considerando a singularidade de um campo em transformação, compreendemos sua conformação enquanto um campo de saberes e práticas militantes para a construção de novos paradigmas, a fim de explicar a saúde do povo brasileiro e nela intervir.

Abstract Background The success of HPV vaccination programs will require awareness regarding HPV associated diseases and the benefits of HPV vaccination for the general population. The aim of this study was to assess the level of awareness and knowledge of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, cervical cancer prevention, vaccines, and factors associated with HPV awareness among young women after birth of the first child. Methods This analysis is part of a cross-sectional study carried out at Hospital Maternidade Leonor Mendes de Barros, a large public maternity hospital in Sao Paulo. Primiparous women (15-24 years) who gave birth in that maternity hospital were included. A questionnaire that included questions concerning knowledge of HPV, cervical cancer, and vaccines was applied. To estimate the association of HPV awareness with selected factors, prevalence ratios (PR) were estimated using a generalized linear model (GLM). Results Three hundred and one primiparous women were included; 37% of them reported that they "had ever heard about HPV", but only 19% and 7%, respectively, knew that HPV is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) and that it can cause cervical cancer. Seventy-four percent of interviewees mentioned the preventive character of vaccines and all participants affirmed that they would accept HPV vaccination after delivery. In the multivariate analysis, only increasing age (P for trend = 0.021) and previous STI (P < 0.001) were factors independently associated with HPV awareness ("had ever heard about HPV"). Conclusions This survey indicated that knowledge about the association between HPV and cervical cancer among primiparous young women is low. Therefore, these young low-income primiparous women could benefit greatly from educational interventions to encourage primary and secondary cervical cancer prevention programs.
