Trabalhando com grupos operativos no combate à desnutrição infantil no âmbito da Estratégia Saúde da Família

Abstract

This work is a proposal for intervention for coping with nutritional risk of children aged zero to two years assisted by a team from the Family Health Strategy, in São João do Pacuí, MG. The proposal came after identifying persistent decline in the quality of the nutritional health of children assisted, notably in regard to the curves of weight and height. Correlated this evidence with problems like unemployment guardians, family violence, inconsistency of habits and lifestyles, poor level of information, inadequate structure of health services and poor organization of work processes of health teams. After literature review, and using as a basis the theory of Operating Groups Pichon - Rivière, was drafted the proposal to use this tool for improved control of childhood nutritional risk. The Operational Group is multidisciplinary and includes both health actions such as health education for the population. The activity scenario will consist of four stations: (1) ACS station, (2) team nursing station, (3) family physician station, (4) nutritionist station. Each professional will be responsible for organizing its station to initiate activities. The family health team involved in the process admits the importance of the implementation of the Operative Group and recognizes that there is only effective Integral Attention to Children's Health when all members of the healthcare team are engaged and looking for steady improvement in the quality of care for children always considering the social context in which they operate.
