Proposta de intervenção para redução das enteroparasitoses em instituição de educação em Belo Oriente- Minas Gerais

Abstract

The city of Belo Oriente is located in the East of Minas Gerais and is part of the collar Metropolitan Steel Valley Region. The Braúnas community is an area of high crime rates, low education and poor financial and social conditions. Intestinal parasites pose a serious public health problem, due to poor living conditions of the poorest population groups. This study aims to develop intervention strategies to control parasites in the school community Braúnas, Belo Oriente / MG, through educational activities and simple measures of sanitation as well as drug treatment. A literature review was conducted, in which the secondary data were obtained by consulting books, scientific articles, journals, government reports and information centers and electronic records bases. The intervention project was designed with the strategic focus of planning from the problems raised by health professionals, able to provide, through the concept of situational explanation, a comprehensive look of totalizing and rigorous character that underlies the action of professionals involved in dealing with problems. The success of this project depends on the participation of the whole family health staff as well as the educational institution staff and parents and family members of students, each fulfilling their proper role in the project.
