Abstract(s)
As doenças crónicas em particular as Doenças Respiratórias Crónicas (DRC), continuam a ser, em Portugal, uma das principais causas de morbilidade e mortalidade, verificando se uma tendência crescente da sua prevalência. Sendo a asma uma doença crónica frequente na criança e na população adulta, a sua prevalência é a mais elevada entre a população infantil e juvenil. Assim, cabe ao Especialista em Enfermagem de Saúde Comunitária e de Saúde Pública realizar a avaliação do estado de saúde da população, elaborar projetos adequados às necessidades reais identificadas, implementar intervenções e consequentemente, monitorizar e avaliar, cooperando na vigilância epidemiológica, de modo a produzir indicadores pertinentes à tomada de decisão. O presente documento consiste no culminar da unidade curricular de Estágio Final e na aquisição de competências de Mestre em Enfermagem com Especialização em Enfermagem de Saúde Comunitária e de Saúde Pública. Assim, foi realizado um diagnóstico de situação assente na metodologia de planeamento em saúde, com o intuito de dar resposta ao objetivo definido: identificar as necessidades sensíveis aos cuidados de enfermagem dos utentes com diagnóstico de asma sem intervenção da UCC. Com aplicação e análise do formulário realizado de recolha de dados, identificaram-se 6 problemas e, após priorização, destacam-se dois deles: “Capacidade para gerir regime medicamentoso comprometida” e “Falta de conhecimento sobre a doença”. Tendo em conta os diagnósticos identificados, foram implementadas e sugeridas intervenções e produzidos indicadores para posterior avaliação das estratégias de ação. Este estudo veio realçar a necessidade de intervir de forma contínua nos utentes com doença crónica, com o intuito de melhorar a qualidade de vida destes utentes o, que, por sua vez deverá gerar ganhos na saúde da população.
Chronic diseases particularly Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRD), continue to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Portugal, with an increasing trend. Considering that asthma is a common chronic disease in both children and adults, its prevalence is higher among the pediatric and youth populations. It is up to the Community Health and Public Health Nursing Specialist to assess the population's state of health, draw up projects suited to the real needs identified, implement interventions, monitor, and evaluate, cooperating in epidemiological surveillance, to produce relevant indicators for decision-making. This document represents the culmination of the Final Internship module and the acquisition of skills as a master’s in nursing with Specialization in Community Health and Public Health Nursing. A diagnosis was conducted using health planning methodology to address the defined objective: identifying nursing care needs of patients diagnosed with asthma without intervention from the CCU. With the application and analysis of the data collection questionnaire, 6 problems were identified and after prioritization, two stood out: "Compromised ability to manage medication regime" and "Lack of knowledge about the disease." Considering the identified diagnoses, interventions were suggested and implemented, producing indicators to evaluate the action strategies. This study emphasizes the need for continuous intervention in patients with chronic diseases to improve their quality of life, leading to health gains in the population.
