SUMMARY:

Accumulated evidence suggests different definitions for obesity, characterized by the complex integration and interdependence of different dimensions, and should maintain a close dialogue with socioanthropological approaches and body diversity. Paradoxically, curricula, public policies, and care practices are still inspired mostly by the biomedical paradigm, resulting in challenges for those who care and those who live in this condition. Given this context, the present thesis sought to analyze the limits and possibilities of the course "Qualification of Care for Overweight and Obese People" in the mobilization of thinking about the obesity phenomenon. This qualitative study has as theoretical and methodological orientation the scoping review, which mapped the initiatives of Continuing Education in Health in the care of people with obesity, and the case study, outlined from an educational initiative in health, which analyzed the meanings of obesity for the participants and the possible changes of meanings mobilized by the initiative. The research participants were health professionals from Primary Care in the state of Bahia enrolled in the course. The information was produced through documentary analysis, non-participant observation, and an online questionnaire, and examined using content analysis, prototypical and descriptive statistics. A triangulation of methods produced three categories of analysis - Concept of obesity, Etiological approaches to obesity, and Health Education. As the main results, it is possible to highlight the reduced number of researches in the area and a general design of the initiatives that are far from what Permanent Education in Health proposes, with a biomedical approach to obesity, traditional teaching methodologies away from the centrality of the daily work and the focus on the notion of care networks, line of care, integrality and food and body cultures. Accordingly, when analyzing the meanings of obesity for the professionals, the case study revealed the predominance of the pathological and individualized perspective of obesity, despite the expansion of modern scientific knowledge and institutional guidelines on obesity. On the other hand, after the end of the course, significant inflections in the way of thinking about the obesity phenomenon were observed, in dialogue with the ecological, syndemic, and multifactorial approaches, in addition to anthropological perspectives and body diversity. As limits of the initiative studied are circumscribed to the previous training of the trainees, the descending design of the initiative, the scope and awareness of the learners, and the difficulty of releasing workload in the service. As possibilities, we highlight the use of participatory methodologies, problematizing and involved with the reality of learners, the approach of "obesity under different views and multiple expressions", the act of reflecting a proposal aligned by entities of education - management - social control and the advantages of the teaching modality. It emerged as urgent that health curricula can be revisited, presenting the multifactoriality and complexity, in an interdisciplinary and multiprofessional movement, to influence how training processes and care practices are structured.
