Projeto de Intervenção para melhoria da adesão ao tratamento de Diabates Mellitus na Unidade Básica de Saúde São Raimundo no Município de Piracuruca-PI

Abstract

Low adherence to treatments for Diabetes Mellitus - DM can cause high blood sugar levels, leading to worsening of the condition and severe complications. The main types of DM are: type 1 DM, type 2 DM, gestational DM and other more specific types. This disease is highly prevalent in Brazil and worldwide. This intervention project will be developed at the São Raimundo Basic Health Unit, in Piracuruca, Piauí, aiming at improving adherence to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for type 2 DM. For its elaboration, the Situational Strategic Planning method was used, in which the critical problem in the Unit was detected, being carried out based on a bibliographic review in the main national health research platforms and proposing the following actions: creation of an operational group, elaboration and distribution of an educational menu, training of the team for active search with tracking using the FINDRISC - Finnish Diabetes Risk Score screening instrument, in order to make an early diagnosis, in addition to health education to improve adherence to pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for patients with DM2 - Diabetes Mellitus type 2. As a result, greater adherence and greater commitment to DM2 treatments by patients and an increase in the bond with the team are expected, resulting in better glycemic levels, fewer complications of the disease and consequent improvement in quality of life. The project will be subject to periodic evaluations, in order to allow for adjustments throughout its implementation. This proposal may be implemented in other Basic Health Units, with the necessary adjustments being made according to the local reality, favoring the care of patients with DM2.
