Projeto intervenção para melhorar o tratamento e acompanhamento do transtorno da ansiedade generalizada em usuários da Unidade de Saúde Icaivera em Contagem - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Generalized anxiety promotes a disorder in the feelings that many times the individual cannot control without the help of a health professional and starts to interfere with daily activities, family, social and professional life. The proposal of this work was originated by the high prevalence of users with symptoms of generalized anxiety in the Icaivera Health Unit, in Contagem, Minas Gerais. In addition, the disease is underdiagnosed and most users make indiscriminate use of medications without professional follow-up and therefore without effective treatment. Thus, this work aims to intervene in this reality in order to offer users guidance, diagnosis, incentive to join the treatment and control of generalized anxiety disorder. However, this project is relevant since the quality of life of these users is impaired because there is no effective treatment and follow-up. And also, the social, family and professional life of these users is impaired. Therefore, intervening in this problem is necessary as well as establishing strategies to make users aware of the importance of adherence to treatment and professional follow-up throughout the therapeutic process. The target audience of the project will be all users who present symptoms and those who are in treatment. Participants will be invited to attend meetings at the basic health unit whose purpose will be to help them to know this disease and how to identify the symptoms and thus, motivate them to adhere to the treatment with adequate follow-up in the unit.
