Monotoramento da Hemoglobina Glicada em pessoas com Diabetes Mellitus na Atenção Primária à Saúde

Abstract

This study addresses the topic of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) monitoring in individuals with diabetes mellitus in primary health care. The main objective is to monitor glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in individuals with diabetes mellitus treated at the Antonieta Copello de Cerqueira Health Unit in Santo Estévão, Bahia. The aim is to increase the knowledge of individuals with T2DM about the importance of glycemic control and healthy practices. This will be achieved through educational initiatives that promote awareness and a better understanding of the care required for effective disease management. The methodological approaches used were a literature review of the Virtual Health Library Database, IBGE, Scielo, Google Scholar, and Ministry of Health websites, in addition to observation of the daily routine of the Health Unit. The situational diagnosis was performed using the Rapid Estimation Method. Situational Strategic Planning was used to develop the Intervention Project. This intervention project is expected to achieve a significant reduction in glycated hemoglobin levels in patients treated at the Antonieta Copello de Cerqueira Health Unit in Santo Estévão, Bahia, through regular monitoring and glycemic control. This will reduce the incidence of hospitalizations related to T2DM, also contributing to lower healthcare costs. In short, the execution of this intervention project requires the implementation of ongoing training strategies, as well as investment in infrastructure and active social participation. From this perspective, the aim is to significantly contribute to the construction of more effective Primary Health Care in the management of diabetes mellitus, so that the themes addressed here can be replicated in other health units in the municipality of Santo Estévão, Bahia, mainly through the Quality of Life group, and that this project can also be extended to other regions and contexts
