Proposta de intervenção para prevenção de agravos de saúde associadas às doenças da coluna na unidade de saúde da família Geraldo Montezano Fernandes, Vieiras, Minas Gerais

Abstract

Spinal diseases cover several diseases that cause changes in workers' health and are caused by interconnected factors such as the work environment and the way of carrying out work activities. This study was important because it focused on spinal diseases associated with work, being the reason for great demand for medical care, often in advanced stages, which therapeutic alternatives become somewhat scarce. The objective was to carry out an intervention proposal for the prevention of health problems associated with spinal diseases in the Geraldo Montezano Fernandes family health unit, in Vieiras, Minas Gerais. To prepare the plan, the Situational Strategic Planning method was used. The situational diagnosis stage was elaborated from data collected by the Rapid Estimation method. The other stages were built from discussions between the health team, in addition to bibliographic reviews on the themes Musculoskeletal disorders. Worker's health. Primary Health Care. Family Health Strategies. Projects corresponding to critical nodes are presented for the intervention plan (1) incorrect ergonomics for activities with overweight and repetitive movements and long working hours, (2) absence of educational activities in the Basic Health Unit Geraldo Montezano Fernandes aimed at promotion and prevention of injuries to spine diseases associated with work, (3) difficulty in local studies on spine diseases associated with work. It was possible to clarify that occupational diseases can cause numerous problems for local workers. It is extremely important that Primary Health Care looks for devices to treat and prevent these ailments, through ergometric re-education and correlated factors.
