Abstract

The prevention and early detection of uterine cervix neoplasms are very important, because actual statistical data shows its high prevalence among women throughout the world, causing a large number of deaths. The techniques of screening this disease differ in literature, and even being a simple realization, many women are still reluctant to the exam. By this, it’s proposed an intervention project of this reality, which must seek within our community, who are these women and why they do not achieve the propaedeutic, as well as to increase the coverage of screening, preventing disease and its consequences. This action plan aboard a priority problem, "increase 25 th to 64 th year old women to an embracement to the uterine cervical neoplasm screening test, and in those with less than 25th, who have already initiated sexual activity and wish to take the examination". The literature search was based on survey information about the disease, statistics, importance of screening and treatment, impact on women's health and also on public health, mortality, among others. The intervention plan based on the Strategic Situational Planning addressed the priority issue, "low compliance in screening for uterine cervix neoplasms in women 25-64 years and those under 25 who have initiated sexual activity and desire to perform examination ". For this problem were selected three critical nodes: (1) permanent education of the Family Health Team, looking for a conceptual understanding and a uniform interaction with the community, including prevention of uterine cervical neoplasm and other women's health problems as topics; (2) education for health, with young and adult women, seeking the health knowledge construction of community and identifying the reasons why patients have refused to take the examination and propose, collectively, strategies for coping with these reasons; and, (3) a review of the health team work process, with particular attention to the woman health. These situations are systematized in tables, defining expected products, strategic actions, responsible, necessary resources and materials; term, evaluation and follow-up and viability. This proposal provides for the deployment, in the future, population education actions and social integration and team organization for constant review and adaptation to the needs of community
