Intervenção sobre feridas crônicas em membro inferior na equipe ação e participação no município de Delfim Moreira/MG

Abstract

Delfim Moreira is a city located in the southern region of Minas Gerais in which operate three teams of the Family Health Strategy (FHS). This work refers to the Ação e Participação team, which is responsible for 617 families registered, all living in rural areas. The goal was to develop a proposal for intervention to reduce the prevalence of chronic wounds in the lower limb through diabetes mellitus control and optimization of venous circulation in lower limbs. The project is justified by the impact that lower limb wounds have been causing to quality of life of users and their families and the difficulty of its management. The method called “rapid assessment” made it possible the situational diagnosis and identification of the highest priority problems facing the area. For the action plan, the following steps were adopted: definition of the problem, prioritization of the problems, description of the selected problem, explanation of the problem, selection of "critical nodes", design of operations, identification of critical resources, plan feasibility analysis, preparation of operating plan and management plan. Chronic wounds in the lower limbs represent a health problem with high priority for the Ação e Participação team, which must act in integrality and appreciate the multidisciplinary performance, identifying causes and "critical nodes" to put into practice the proposed intervention.
