Plano de intervenção para controle do uso excessivo de Benzodiazepínicos pela população adscrita da Unidade Básica de Saúde Retiro II em Contagem - Minas Gerais

Abstract

Contagem is a municipality located in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais. The municipality has the third largest population of the state, with 658,580 inhabitants. Because the excessive use of benzodiazepines pose important risks to the health of the population and because this problem has been perceived for some time by the health team, it was decided to choose it as a priority. Benzodiazepines are among the most misused drugs in the world. This reality is no different in the community attended by the Family Health team 02 of the Basic Health Unit Retiro II in Contagem. This work proposes an intervention plan to control the use of benzodiazepines in this population. After reviewing the literature, the Situa¬tional Strategic Planning was used to carry out the situational health diagnosis, the preparation of the intervention plan, the programming of the actions by the Family Health team and the monitoring and evaluation of these actions. A review of the literature on the subject was carried out using online databases on the Virtual Health Library portal, Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences, Scientific Electronic Library Online The intervention plan was based on six critical nodes of the identified problem, and a specific operation was designed for each one. The accomplishment of this work will serve as an incentive to the Family Health team and the community in the control of the excessive use of benzodiazepines, which should be understood as one of the strategies to be prioritized for health promotion and disease prevention. This proposal is also a starting point for the implementation of policies aimed at mental health in the municipality as a whole.
