- Multiple-Micronutrient Supplementation During Pregnancy: What is the Evidence?Publication . Kadosh, MA; Reis-de-Carvalho, CO período da gravidez constitui uma etapa chave na qual se deve apostar na promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis. Durante esta fase, as necessidades energéticas e de alguns nutrientes estão aumentadas para dar resposta às alterações metabólicas que ocorrem. Apesar de só haver indicação por parte da Organização Mundial da Saúde e Direção-Geral da Saúde para suplementar a mulher grávida com ácido fólico, ferro e iodo, a utilização de suplementos alimentares com vitaminas e minerais destinados para mulheres grávidas, é muitas vezes recomendada. Pretende-se neste artigo, apresentar a evidência que existe relativamente à toma destes suplementos na gravidez.
- Strategies for Research Capacity Building by Family Physicians in Primary Healthcare: a Scoping Review ProtocolPublication . Gil Conde, M; Costa, I; Silvério Serra, S; Ramos, RC; Ribeiro, C; Broeiro-Goncalves, P; Penedo, CR; Parola, V; Nicola, PIntroduction: The qualities of primary healthcare (PHC) make it a very relevant environment for research; however, there is still work to be done to enhance the research capabilities of family physicians in healthcare units. Considering there is no ongoing review that specifically addresses this objective, the proposed goal of this scoping review is to determine the depth of the literature on the current strategies that support research capacity building among family physicians in the context of PHC. Methods and analysis: The scoping review will include studies from PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and grey literature, published from 2008 to 2023, that address strategies to promote research capacity building among family physicians in the context of PHC. Only studies published in English, Portuguese or Spanish will be considered. All study designs, including quantitative, qualitative and mixed-methods studies, will be eligible for inclusion. The literature search will be performed from January to March of 2024 and data charting will employ a descriptive-analytical method, systematically summarising study objectives, methodologies, findings and implications. This protocol follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocols and the review will employ the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews. Ethics and dissemination: This review does not need ethical approval. Peer-reviewed publications, policy summaries, presentations at conferences and involvement with pertinent stakeholders are all part of our outreach approach.

- Strategies for the Promotion of Primary Health Care Research in Portugal: A Qualitative StudyPublication . Morgado, MB; Rodrigues, V; Carmona Ramos, R; Rente, A; Nicola, P; Gil Conde, MIntroduction: There are several barriers discouraging clinicians from undertaking research, including insufficient funding, lack of time, organizational issues and lack of support. The strengthening of research capacity is perceived from three levels: characteristics of the researcher, the environment, and organizational issues. To date, Portugal is lacking studies on this subject. The aim of this study was to identify the best practices to promote research in Portuguese Primary Health Care. Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with family doctors with broadly recognized research work and other stakeholders. We selected a sample by convenience and snowball sampling. From a total of 14 doctors invited by email, 12 responded positively, and we subsequently included two other stakeholders. We conducted the interviews in digital or face-to-face formats. Two team members handled the coding of interviews independently. We kept all recordings and transcripts confidential, only accessible to researchers. Results: We identified 16 strategies: 1) increasing institutional support; 2) creating support structures; 3) redefining the residency program; 4) investing in research training; 5) redefining curriculum evaluation; 6) establishing dedicated time for research; 7) increasing funding; 8) improving access to research data; 9) being a research driver; 10) establishing a research culture; 11) working in collaboration; 12) creating formally organized research groups; 13) creating autonomous research centers; 14) improving the definition of the research subjects and study designs; 15) reviewing procedures for ethics' committees; and 16) reviewing the current selection of articles for publication. Conclusion: Overall, a greater proportion of interviewees identified the following as the most relevant strategies for research promotion: institutional support, including technical and scientific support from public institutions, private entities and academic centers; the reorganization of working hours with protected time for research; increased funding directed towards research and breaking isolation in research, promoting teamwork with clinicians within the same area or from different professional backgrounds.
