Introduction: In the last decade, several different topics considered taboo began to gain visibility due to social networks. However, what is perceived, is that most of these themes do not leave this technological sphere. Noting the reality of health courses, it is evident that even basic care, domestic violence, racism, abortion, obstetric violence, LGBT health, among others, are extremely neglected. From this, the Out of Anonymity Project had as a goal to draw the attention of the community, be it academic or not, for such matters. The project had an extremely didactic format, organized in the form of a talk wheel and with the intention of presenting information and data that stimulate critical thinking, in the presence of professionals with property on the most varied subject.
Objectives: to discuss themes: racism; how to use SUS; LGBT health / gender issues; abortion; feminicide / domestic violence; gophobia; obstetric violence; and culture of rape, with the objective of clarifying the public about the issues mentioned within the area of human rights, as well as reflecting on how health care can change to better serve marginalized groups. Through the wheels of conversation, it is intended to enable the students present and the rest of the public to better direct and explain what legal procedures patients should perform in adverse cases.
Methods: The event started in March has a duration of 8 months, and accompanies the academic calendar of the School of Health Sciences / University of the State of Amazonas, where it is held. Each month there is a talk round with the presence of speakers who have ownership of the theme, as well as guests who can relate situations they themselves experienced in relation to the topics covered. Each wheel lasts for at least two hours, and at the end of each meeting, a questionnaire is delivered with 17 questions, of which 5 are discursive and 12 are objective. This instrument was built by the coordinators of the action and serves to assess the impact of the action.
Results and Discussion: During the 4 months of the project, a total of 109 people participated in the conversation. Questionnaires have been implemented since the first event. Since it is not mandatory to complete the questionnaire, 85 questionnaires have been answered to date. The subjects that were less sought until the moment were: how to use SUS and LGBT health and gender issues. These issues have less demand when compared to the issue of racism and abortion. Therefore, it is clear that the more currently commented on a topic, the more the search for it will be effective. From the data collected, it is possible to observe the profile of the participants, being able to conclude that the diversity of the courses is immense, and among those who attend most are the nursing and law course. In addition, one data stood out important, among the least attended were the medical course. Which clearly raises the question: why was there no adherence of the project by medical scholars? The hypotheses are varied, but it risks saying that these subjects are still little approached, precisely because medical teaching is extremely biomedical and technical. This model of teaching together with social construction can distract and not teach future professionals not to receive, treat and direct each patient properly. Of all those who composed the sample, 46 knew the subject, 21 dominated the subject, 13 knew little. During the meetings, only one person reported not feeling comfortable expressing their opinion, which if well analyzed can demonstrate that the environment provides a healthy and respectful debate. You can see that 65 people said they had their level of education modified, helping them to consider other points of view.
Conclusion: In view of the association between the themes addressed and the results presented in the research, it is necessary to continue with educational interventions that can reach the various masses of society, considering that intolerance and ignorance still persist as factors influence in the discussions on various subjects. In the case of the Out of Anonymity Project, the importance of debates as a mechanism for the exchange of ideas and the consequent propagation of knowledge, especially within the academic field where conflicts between opinions are constantly present, is confirmed.
