Organização do serviço de pré-natal da equipe II da unidade básica de saúde dr. Juquinha Lana

Abstract

Pregnant women care service is essential for the proper development of primary health care. Approximately 98% of female deaths from maternal causes are known to be preventable with adequate prenatal care, highlighting the need for increased health actions for this population. This study aimed to restructure the team II prenatal service of UBS-Juquinha Lana, considering the best use of available resources. A literature review was conducted and an action plan was prepared in accordance to the Situational Strategic Planning in which pregnant women data were organized in a informative file with gestational risk evaluation. In addition, a pregnant women group for health discussions was created. The actions implemented increased the adherence and knowledge of the population about prenatal care, besides assisting in the organization and discussion of the determinants of the labour process by the health team. A discussion about women's health was stimulated within the team and in the community, placing the woman as the protagonist of health actions. However, aspects of local culture and some members of the team resistance to changes were limiting factors to the project development. Thus, further discussions and intervention proposals are required in order to improve prenatal care in the Juquinha Lana health unit.
