Proposta de intervenção para aumentar a adesão ao pré-natal na equipe de saúde 8, unidade básica de saúde do Córrego Raso, município de Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Minas Gerais

Abstract

Qualified prenatal care is capable of significantly reducing maternal and child morbidity and mortality, but the low socioeconomic level can interfere with the attendance of the pregnant woman's routine consultations. This work aimed to develop an intervention project to increase adherence to prenatal care by pregnant women from the Córrego Raso Community, in the municipality of Santa Rita do Sapucaí. To prepare this project, a situational diagnosis of pregnant women attended by the Family Health Strategy team of the Córrego Raso community was carried out, followed by a bibliographic review and the elaboration of an action plan based on the Simplified Situational Strategic Planning. The critical nodes related to the care of pregnant women were: Insufficient level of knowledge of the CHA team and nursing technicians about the expected changes during pregnancy and the importance of prenatal care; the difficulty in creating operational groups due to the geographical distance between the rural area and the health unit in the city; the delay between the ordering of tests and their performance, making it difficult to diagnose and treat diseases such as gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, toxoplasmosis, syphilis, HIV, among others, and the absence of a group of pregnant women. The following measures were proposed: Carry out the training of the team on topics relevant to pregnancy and the perinatal period; offer transportation on the day of the consultation for pregnant women who do not have access to a health unit; agree with the municipality's laboratory to prioritize the examination of pregnant women; offer lectures to pregnant women and their families. With this study, it is possible to understand the importance of adequate prenatal care and it is hoped that with the implementation of this intervention proposal, it will be possible to increase the adherence of pregnant women to prenatal consultations and thus reduce maternal and fetal complications.
