Resumo (EN)

Objective – Identify needs of health interventions in the school from the demands of health education from the perspective of students and educators and identify the sociodemographic profile of these. As one of the tools for coping with the vulnerabilities present in the lives of children and adolescents in the school environment, we have the Health in School Program (PES) with potential for health promotion and prevention of diseases. It contemplates the intersectoriality of health and education. Methods – This was an exploratory, field study, in the quantitative-qualitative modality, carried out in the second semester of 2016, in a school in a city in the interior of São Paulo. The study was attended by 18 education professionals who represented 62.1% of the total population and 115 elementary and middle school students between 11 and 19 years old, who represented 22.8% of the total number of students in this school. The data were collected from the application of a questionnaire developed based on the guidelines of the PSE and the accomplishment of a focus group with the students and also with the educators. Results – To the health demands found in the students' perspective on the priority themes for an immediate approach, the following results were presented: 1st- Sexuality (14.4%), 2nd- Diseases (12.1%) and 3rd- Drugs Ilicit and Licit (11.7%). From the perspective of educators, the priority was: 1º- Illegal Drugs (13.1%), 2nd - Licit Drugs (13.1%) and 3rd-Sexuality (12.3%). Conclusion – From this research it was possible to identify the needs of health interventions among students and educators. From the prerogative that an educational intervention carried out without due diagnosis of the context lived by all involved has less chance of changing a reality. The present study contributes to an effective planning of actions capable of transforming the health context of students, educators and community. It highlights the potential that nurses have for an extended view of the health / disease process for an integral, human and resolutive care.
