Educative discourses mobilized in communication with the population of Florianópolis city during the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

The research aims to analyze, in a diagnostic way, the educative content mobilized in communication with the population of Florianópolis city during the Covid-19 pandemic. For that purpose, we opted for a content analysis about the information given by the Municipal Health Department (SMS) and the Municipal Health Council (CMS). The results point to the tendency of the available information to focus on the details of logistics and schedule of vaccination, with few informative/educational elements being mobilized. In this sense, despite emancipatory educational perspectives in the field of health education circulating more contemporaneously, which seek to consider and develop in people a sense of responsibility for their own health and that of the community, this was not present in the concrete situation analyzed here. We also believe that the development of a more active public participation, via CMS, for example, could have been important.
