A adesão ao exame de hemoglobina glicada e consulta dos pacientes diabéticos - uma proposta de intervenção na unidade básica de saúde neide bérgamo alves no município de Elias Fausto SP

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease primarily characterized by hyperglycemia. It is an illness with varied classifications which, if left untreated and uncontrolled, can lead to medium and long-term complications for the patient, such as ophthalmopathies, nephropathies, vasculopathies, among others. Due to its relevance and possibilities for prevention, the approach to Diabetes Mellitus largely occurs in Primary Health Care, through the Family Health Strategy. This follow-up is monitored by Indicator 7 of Previne Brasil, which assesses that consultations and glycated hemoglobin tests for diabetic patients must be carried out every 6 months. The present work aims to implement an intervention project to improve adherence to the glycated hemoglobin test and consultation for diabetic patients at the Neide Bérgamo Alves Basic Health Unit in the municipality of Elias Fausto/SP. The intention is to propose strategies that can be implemented to increase adherence to the glycated hemoglobin test and medical consultation for diabetic patients; schedule training and continuing education for the unit's professionals regarding the importance of requesting glycated hemoglobin and timely consultation for the diabetic patient; hold continuous and timely health education moments with the unit's registered population; raise awareness among the target population about the importance of performing the glycated hemoglobin test and periodic consultation at least every 6 months.
