Capacitação dos colaboradores de uma clínica de acupuntura para o melhor acolhimento dos pacientes cadeirantes.

Abstract

The inclusion of people with disabilities, wheelchair users, as well as the accessibility and care provided by health services is one of the primary guidelines to be seen and debated within society. Health education should be present mainly to improve reception in health services. Among these services, we highlight Acupuncture that is part of the Integrative and Complementary Practices. These practices involve procedures that stimulate natural mechanisms to restore health by treating and preventing disease. These systems and therapeutic resources, to which Acupuncture is inserted, are widely recommended by the Ministry of Health, and also offered free of charge in the Public Health Network. According to the Ministry of Health there are about 9350 health facilities, distributed in 3173 municipalities. Due to the great impact of the accessibility theme, it is necessary to use Health Education as a way to train Acupuncture service collaborators to better receive wheelchair patients. This Intervention project has the general objective of training the employees of an acupuncture clinic for the better reception of wheelchair patient, through dialogued workshops. This work is expected to improve care and reception for wheelchair patients.
