CADONA, Eliane  and  STREY, Marlene Neves. Brazilian Health Research: Analysis of the Year 1990. Rev. Psicol. Saúde [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.2, pp.165-173.  Epub July 05, 2024. ISSN 2177-093X.  https://doi.org/10.20435/pssa.v14i2.1190.

In this paper, we do an analysis of senses on health present in academic and scientific research publications in the year of 1990. At that time, the scenario was set by new laws called “Health Organic Laws” that came in to place in a neoliberal political context. The theoretical bases of those academic and scientific research were based on the Social Constructionism. It was recovered a set of 34 papers from BVS Brazil, and the search was accomplished using specific keywords, just like: “care”, “cure”, “disease”, “public health policy”, “social policy”, “health”, and “public health”. The collected data were submitted to an speech analysis, and the results help to categorize the texts as “Knowledge importation and comparison among realities: the concept of “Brazil as a Colony” at the health speeches”. In this context, we found evidences that the speeches produced at the studies and publications carried a logic that the imported knowledge, which came from the first world countries, should be the rule to be followed in Brazil, and the reality brought by those studies would fit as a model and inspiration for the country .

Keywords : health; disease; science; public policy.
