Implementação de programa de controle do tabagismo na Unidade Básica de Saúde Adelino Alcebíades Ferreira, no município de Campo Florido - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Tobacco use has been considered the biggest single risk factor related to illness and death in the world. Smoking was identified as the second most prevalent comorbidity in the population enrolled in the Family Health Team "eSF2" of the Basic Health Unit Adelino Alcebíades Ferreira, in Campo Florido, Minas Gerais. The purpose of this study was to develop an action plan for implementing a smoking control program in the “eSF2” population. The Situational Strategic Planning Method was used through the Rapid Estimate to obtain the situational diagnosis of the area covered by the team, making it possible to prioritize the problems that most affect the health of the community and the elaboration of the action plan. With the implementation of the proposed actions, it is expected a reduction in the incidence and prevalence of smokers in this population and, consequently, in the morbidity and mortality associated with smoking, in addition to an improvement in the quality of life and reduction of public spending required by this comorbidity in the municipality.
