Promoção e prevenção da saúde do homem na unidade de saúde do barro vermelho – Marechal Deodoro/AL – uma proposta de intervenção

Abstract

It is an intervention project carried out after a situational diagnosis in the coverage area which was appointed as a critical node to the lack of male users on the Family Health Unit demands for promotional activities to health and disease prevention, under the responsibility of the Family Health Team of Barro Vermelho, in Marechal Deodoro. The project implementation will be carried out through the methodology of conversation groups and lectures with the male audience and training of the Family Health Unit to sensitize both the team as well as the male user on the importance of adherence on prevention activities and men’s health promotion. To guide the development of the project, literature search was conducted using the keywords: men’s health, primary health care and health promotion, using the Situational Strategic Plan. The implementation of this project will be a valuable achievement both for professionals involved in the process but also for the entire community assisted by the Family Health Unit. This action can serve as an example for other health units belonging to the territory of Marechal Deodoro.
