In this challenging context, the fifth edition of ICIEMC, to take place on July 1 and 2, 2021 in virtual format, aims to tackle these two major issues.
On one side, we actively seek scientific contributions related to the (post)pandemic changes in business, marketing and consumer behavior, related to any industry or service area and, on the other side, we value specific contributions linked to innovation in teaching and learning in higher education that have been motivated by the systemic shock effect generated by the pandemics, including teachers’, students’, higher education management’s or policy perspectives.

Comunicar em saúde em tempos de pandemia
15 de fevereiro
Editores
Felisbela Lopes (CECS, Universidade do Minho, Portugal), Rita Araújo (CECS, Universidade do Minho, Portugal) e Peter Schulz (Universidade de Lugano, Suíça)
Temática
A Comunicação em Saúde é uma área científica interdisciplinar, que se caracteriza pelo cruzamento entre as Ciências da Comunicação e as Ciências da Saúde, nomeadamente a Medicina, mas também a Saúde Pública, a Enfermagem e a Psicologia (Zoller & Kline, 2008). Embora existam várias definições de Comunicação em Saúde, a influência de comportamentos é frequentemente apontada como um dos principais objetivos. De facto, a Comunicação em Saúde pretende envolver, capacitar e influenciar os indivíduos e as comunidades (Schiavo, 2014).
O Jornalismo de Saúde é, de acordo com a Organização Mundial de Saúde (1998), uma área da Comunicação em Saúde, tal como a comunicação interpessoal, a media advocacy ou a comunicação organizacional. Mas é também uma especialização do jornalismo. E, na verdade, embora se possa entender o Jornalismo de Saúde como uma pequena parte do jornalismo, este tem as suas especificidades, tal como acontece com o jornalismo económico, político ou desportivo. Hallin e Briggs (2014) defendem que o jornalismo médico e de saúde é, de certo modo, diferente do restante, pelo que os jornalistas que a ele se dedicam revelam frequentemente conceções mais didáticas e instrumentais do seu papel. Este carácter “híbrido” do Jornalismo de Saúde é uma das características que faz deste campo um objeto de estudo interessante para os estudos do jornalismo (Hallin & Briggs, 2014).
Nas últimas décadas, a emergência das doenças infeciosas e o aumento das doenças crónicas vieram reforçar o papel do jornalismo de saúde, na medida em que os media ocupam um lugar social central no retrato destas estórias. Os recentes surtos à escala mundial, de que são exemplo a Gripe A (2009) ou o Ébola (2014), e a pandemia de Covid-19 que atualmente atravessamos, vêm comprovar a necessidade de investir na Comunicação e Jornalismo em Saúde. Estes podem constituir-se como ferramentas essenciais de “combate” às epidemias, contribuindo para uma população mais informada e capacitada em termos de saúde e influenciando comportamentos individuais e coletivos. De facto, a Comunicação e o Jornalismo em Saúde podem ter um impacto significativo na população em geral, especialmente num contexto de crise de saúde pública, contribuindo para a promoção da saúde e a prevenção da doença.
Este volume da Comunicação e Sociedade debruça-se sobre a pandemia de SARS-Cov-2 e pretende juntar académicos de vários pontos do globo numa reflexão em torno da Comunicação e Jornalismo em Saúde no âmbito de uma crise sanitária global. Atualmente, a multiplicidade de plataformas de media, a alteração dos hábitos de consumo mediático, ou o aumento das notícias falsas e desinformação trazem renovados desafios ao campo da Comunicação e Jornalismo em Saúde. Neste sentido, é importante perceber o que está a ser feito, em termos nacionais e internacionais, para lidar com estes desafios e reforçar o papel da Comunicação em Saúde e do Jornalismo em Saúde.
Tópicos:
– Comunicação em Saúde e a pandemia de Covid-19;
– Jornalismo de Saúde e a pandemia de Covid-19;
– As relações entre os media e as fontes de informação em tempos de pandemia;
– Qual o impacto do confinamento no jornalismo?
– Covid-19 e desinformação/notícias falsas;
– A importância da literacia em saúde no âmbito da saúde pública;
– O papel do Jornalismo e da Comunicação em Saúde na mudança de comportamentos.

Nowadays, half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. This movement towards the cities raises some concerns about the implications of the younger population’s reduced contact with outdoor environments. This fact, added to the number of hours young people spent in sedentary activities involving electronic media, may contribute to their disconnection from nature and indifference towards environmental conservation and biodiversity preservation. As it is in the early years of the individual’s life that the motivation to be ecologically concerned arises and is expected to have a lifelong effect, the way young people understand and experience nature is related may have a deep impact in the development of a pro-environmental behaviour. Reconnecting with nature can play an important role in the adoption of sustainable environmental behaviours, and it is a process that can be established, amongst other dimensions, through the physical interaction with natural environments, and through the exposition and interaction with environmental-related knowledge or information. In what concerns environmental and biodiversity preservation education, new approaches include the use of digital games, which are increasingly being adopted to raise environmental awareness among youths. Digital games are part of young people’s daily lives, and its potential to enhance motivation for learning and the positive impact of games in fostering biodiversity awareness has been recognized a few years to this part.
Young people are also being challenged not just to play games but also to engage in the development of their own games. Being involved in the creation of games encourages to explore boundaries, increases collaboration and the exchange of ideas, raises awareness towards the addressed topic, leads to more responsibility and better attitude in group work and increases student’s sense of achievement, self-confidence and self-efficacy. Combined with the physical interaction with natural environments, and due to their interactive and immersive narrative, digital games emerge as an innovative approach in the promotion of knowledge about environmental preservation and biodiversity conservation.
In this scope, the specific objectives of the “Gamers4Naure – Reconnecting with Nature Through the Creation of Digital Games” project are:
– to raise young student’s awareness on the importance of environmental and biodiversity preservation, through the creation of digital games;
– to provide opportunities of co-learning and knowledge share based on experiential learning in outdoor settings, through the organization of “reconnecting with nature” events;
– to provide opportunities for the development of computational thinking and communication skills;
– to disseminate and encourage participation of young students in EU coding events (such as the EU Code Week);
– to organize a global game design competition, where teams from different countries will be challenged to develop a game addressing a local and/or a global environmental threat;
– and to inspire participants to adopt more sustainable practices, to understand local problems and global threats to biodiversity preservations and to take action towards a more sustainable and more conscious environmental behaviour.
With this project we want to bring together different stakeholders (upper-secondary schools’ teachers, students and environmental NGOs) to identify local environmental threats, to develop educational resources and digital games able to transmit to information about the importance to preserve local biodiversity and to adopt a pro-environmental behaviour. The main focus will be the development of innovative approaches to environmental education, through the implementation of actions that combine physical and digital nature-connection activities.
