Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Dayzi Silva; BEZERRA, Fábio Marques  and  MENEZES, Vilde Gomes de. Research agenda in graduate programs (stricto sensu) in the theme Health Education in the period of 2015-2019. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.28, e280012.  Epub Feb 10, 2023. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782023280012.

This study aimed to systematize the academic production related to the theme Health Education, developed in graduate programs from Brazil. For operational reasons, the four-year period 2015-2019 was chosen, by the same period in which Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel evaluate the graduate programs. The systematization process was carried out between the months of August and December 2020, using the technique of integrative review in order to the inclusion and exclusion of documents concerning the objective of the study. The data indicate that the area of Education had a very low performance from the point of view of the production of thesis and dissertations, when compared to the areas of Nursing, for example. It is possible to indicate a distance from the area of Education in relation to the theme Health Education. It is concluded, therefore, that the focal theme of this study is weakly influenced and/or has a weak contribution from education, which can constitute an important deficit for the development of the theme Health Education in the Brazilian context.

Keywords : education; health education; state of knowledge.
