Aumento da proporção de mulheres com coleta de citopatológico na atenção primária à saúde: um projeto de intervenção na população adstrita da UBS José Rodrigues, município de Jurema/PE

Abstract

Women's health is a crucial component of public health, especially regarding quality of life and mortality. Early detection, through cytopathological and colposcopic exams, is essential to reducing morbidity and mortality associated with gynecological problems. Therefore, it is essential to expand access to these preventive exams, ensuring that all women, regardless of their location or socioeconomic status, can receive appropriate care. This intervention project arises from the need to monitor women in the community of the José Rodrigues de Andrade Health Unit, overcoming barriers and promoting greater adherence to exams. The goal is to increase the proportion of women eligible for cytopathological exams in Primary Health Care for the population served by the José Rodrigues Basic Health Unit in Jurema, Pernambuco. Based on the analysis of the identified problems, the project will include discussion groups to raise awareness among women about the importance of gynecological exams, as well as a group for discussion and knowledge exchange. For all women to lead healthier, more productive lives, health promotion and disease prevention must remain priorities.
