Promoção da saúde e cuidados contra a COVID-19 na Estratégia Saúde da Família: uma proposta de intervenção

Abstract

Brazil has a public and universal Unified Health System (SUS). The SUS is organized from a health care network that has Primary Care as a gateway through the Family Health Strategy (ESF). This is an intervention project on health promotion and care against Covid-19 in the Family Health Strategy in the municipality of Teotônio Vilela, which has 19 teams. The present work, based on situational strategic planning and quick estimation, focused on the problems encountered in the ESF 02, with the increase in cases of infection and hospitalizations for COVID-19 being listed as a priority through the data provided by the team of the municipal health unit. . To carry out the study, we started with a literature review on the subject, using academic google, Virtual Health Library, data from the Ministry of Health as search sites. One of the major critical nodes in ESF 02 in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic was the population's denial of the veracity of the facts reported about the disease and its morbidity and mortality, which generates low adherence to measures of social distancing and isolation and non-use of masks, raising the rates of infection and hospitalizations for covid-19 in the municipality. After the study, it is concluded that popular health education should be the basis for raising awareness among users of the problem, whether in the health unit, in schools, open spaces, radios, and if possible, using technology to resolve doubts and be closer to the use.
