Avaliação do preenchimento de cadernetas de saúde da criança de zero a três anos de idade em um centro municipal de educação infantil

Abstract

The Children's Health Booklet (CSC) is a right of every child born in Brazilian territory and must be delivered to the parents still in the maternity ward. Considered an instrument for child health surveillance that should be registered by the health professional to continuously monitor the growth and development (CD) rates of children between zero and ten years. The objective of this work was to evaluate the completion of the CHR of children from zero to three years enrolled in a Municipal Center of Early Childhood Education (CMEI), in the Neighborhood Benedito Bentes in Maceió, Alagoas. This is a descriptive quantitative approach study, with documental analysis, and it is observed in the CHR the completion of data related to pregnancy, childbirth and birth; query data; evaluation of development through milestones; anthropometric evaluation and vaccination status. It is emphasized that the ethical precepts in research were respected. Moreover, to choose the completion or the data that should be filled out in the CHR were not analyzed according to the age of each child. Thus, ten SCs were analyzed, in which the data of the birth of the newborn and vaccination schedule were the ones that were mostly filled, in counterpoint, it was observed that data on pregnancy, data from consultations and graphs of growth, especially BMI x Age, presented incompleteness of data or even lack thereof. The findings presented in this research showed that there is no need to fill out the CHR of children in the very first childhood in a CMEI of Maceió, compromising the monitoring of child health. The limitations of the research were the difficulty of data collection, since only ten of the twenty-four children participated in the first childhood, in addition, the ignorance of the reasons for the proper filling of the Booklets by the professionals or if the parents/guardians did not attend the consultations persist.
