Educação em saúde para melhoria dos saberes prévios de mulheres em idades férteis que influencia na adesão do exame Papanicolau em tempos da COVID-19

Abstract

The increase in new cases of cervical cancer per year in the world is approximately 530 thousand, thus being responsible for the death of 274,000 women per year. Thinking about this problem situation, the intervention project that is being developed in the Family Health Strategy III of the Carié village in the municipality of Canapi was elaborated. It is extremely important to address the subject in question because this knowledge associated with several factors influence the low coverage of the cytopathological test, since it is necessary to compress these factors in order to intervene, highlighting the importance of adherence to the test. Objective: to promote health education to improve the interference of prior knowledge of women of childbearing age that influences the adherence to the Pap smear in times of covid19. The intervention project model met the criteria of systemic strategic planning, which enabled the creation of an action plan for the prevention and health promotion of these women. It is expected with the completion of this intervention project that all women enrolled in the Family Health Strategy III are made aware of the importance of performing the cytopathological examination, as well as being able to perform the same, increasing this adherence. Based on this assumption, what we can see is that if all the measures asked, they will allow an effective assistance, as the reception of these units is being present based on the principles of prevention and not on the already sick body.
