Projeto de intervenção para melhoria dos indicadores de sífilis gestacional na Unidade Básica de Saúde Jardim Primavera munícipio de Gaspar-SC

Abstract

Gestational syphilis has become an increasing public health challenge in Brazil, with a significant rise in cases in recent years. This infection, caused by Treponema pallidum, leads to serious complications for the fetus, such as vertical transmission, intrauterine death, premature birth, and congenital syphilis. This study aims to develop an intervention project to improve gestational syphilis indicators in the community served by the Jardim Primavera Primary Health Unit (UBS) in Gaspar, SC. A literature review was conducted using databases such as BVS, PubMed, and Google Scholar to identify evidence-based interventions, and the intervention project followed the model proposed by Campos, Faria, and Santos. The strategies include health education, expanded syphilis screening, and training of healthcare professionals. These measures are expected to increase knowledge about gestational syphilis, promote early prenatal care adherence, and ensure effective detection of the infection, while also facilitating adequate treatment for pregnant women and their partners, preventing reinfections. By implementing specific protocols for partner treatment and encouraging early prenatal care (before 12 weeks of gestation), the project aims to reduce gestational syphilis rates and improve maternal and child health. Team training and adherence to preventive care are essential factors in ensuring the quality of services provided. Furthermore, continuous monitoring of interventions will allow for strategic adjustments, ensuring sustainable and positive outcomes. Thus, this initiative could serve as a model for other communities, highlighting the importance of education and prevention in controlling gestational syphilis.
