Um olhar sobre a automutilação em adolescentes: notificar para cuidar

Abstract

Self-harm is not a new practice. However, this behavior has been described by many as a public health problem and reaches increasingly higher levels among adolescents in the school territory. And this is a fact that needs to be known,dialogued, discussed, bearing in mind that the reports evidenced in daily school life can have a greater dimension and this knowledge makes it possible to foster coping strategies. Related to information, the Ministry of Health, through the Information System for Notifiable Diseases - SINAN, allows knowing, monitoring and following up on cases of self-inflicted violence. These, in accordance with law 13.819/19, are mandatory notification by public or private educational establishments since 2019, being essential to promote training for their professionals. In this sense, this Project aims to implement the use of the compulsory notification form in educational and health establishments to record cases of self-mutilation among school adolescents through continuing health education. The project will be carried out in the municipality of Murici - Alagoas aimed at professionals from the departments of education, health, social assistance, tutelary counselors, as well as other professionals who may be directly or indirectly involved with the notification, follow-up or monitoring of cases. As a result, it is expected that from the notification or registration we can give visibility to cases of self-mutilation in school adolescents and promote lines of care.
