Plano de ação para aumento da adesão dos homens da área de abrangência da ESF Sette de Barros II ás intervenções de saúde

Abstract

The perception among men regarding their own health care should be modified. After the situational diagnosis of the covered area by the Family Health Strategy Sette de Barros II, it was observed low participation of men in health care. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop an action plan to improve adherence of the men of the covered area by the Family Health Strategy Sette de Barros II to health interventions. The methodology is carried out in three stages: situational diagnosis; literature review and action plan. In this study we selected the following critical node: low man information on health care, opening hours of the Family Health Strategy and inappropriate work process of the healthcare team. Based on these critical nodes were proposed the following actions to oppose: “focus on health” to increase the level of awareness of men on their own health care; “health at any time” in order to extend the consultation hours for the men who work in the opening hours of the Family Health Strategy and; “team meetings” for training all staff to improve care to the male population. It is hoped that this action plan increase men's knowledge level about the importance of caring for own health and increases their adherence to health interventions.
