Abordagem das gestantes acompanhadas na equipe de saúde da família Residencial em Congonhas - Minas Gerais

Abstract

This paper reports the outcome of the work with pregnant women in the Residential Basic Health Unit (BHU) in Congonhas, Minas Gerais. Prenatal care in the Residential BHU in Congonhas is performed on the local health unit with the participation of all staff. The decentralization is recent. It started about 4 years ago, being pregnant women accompanied in Basic Health Units in that city, needing improvement of service. The aim of this paper is to propose a plan of action for prenatal care in primary care at the BHU and to suggest improvements in prenatal and postpartum care, including guidance on contraception. From the analysis of the reality experienced in prenatal care and in the diagnosis of the Pmaq - AB Residential BHU team we were able to plan joint actions for greater adherence of pregnant women to prenatal care and to promote improvements in the care of pregnant and postpartum women. We were also able to guide those women concerning family planning, as well as to assist them in accessing contraceptive methods, including placement of intrauterine device and tubal ligation in the Women's Clinic.
