Modos de vida saudável em gestantes moradoras de rua: possibilidades e desafios

Abstract

The problems faced by the Family Health Team (eSF) at the Carlos Chagas Health Center (CSCC) are often different from those of other Basic Health Units (UBS) because they are caring for the homeless population. In this sense, monitoring pregnant women, for example, is more difficult. During the gestational period, the woman's body undergoes several morphological changes and it is necessary that the FHS support women on the new habits to be adopted at this stage. Among the needs of pregnant women we can include: personal hygiene care and body care that can be done through physical activities. Thus, the objective of this study was to make pregnant women, homeless, assisted by the CSCC aware of the changes that will occur during the gestational period and how they can go through this period with better quality of life. The methodology used to select the problem was the Situational Strategic Planning and the Quick Estimate. After this step, the problem was selected: pregnant women enrolled in the CSCC and critical nodes: Shared construction of healthy ways in relation to caring for the body and caring for the body: learning and performing physical activities that are appropriate during pregnancy.
