Abstract(s)
Os acidentes são a maior causa de morte e incapacidade nas crianças, tornando-se assim um problema de saúde pública. Várias são as entidades internacionais e nacionais que realçam, que a segurança do ambiente e os acidentes são uma constante nos cuidados antecipatórios prestados às crianças e, que por isso merecem o nosso foco de atenção. O enfermeiro deve, assim, desenvolver intervenções que levem à redução do risco, criando ambientes seguros. O modelo de promoção da saúde de Pender é um dos modelos de enfermagem que visa a melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados e a promoção da segurança, sendo possível a modificação de comportamentos através de ações de enfermagem. A prevenção de acidentes e o ensinar a criança/jovem a proteger-se de situações de risco, são questões que fazem parte do seu processo de educação e de desenvolvimento. De salientar também, o envolvimento e a parceria com os pais/cuidadores na atuação a este nível. O objetivo geral foi desenvolver competências do Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem de Saúde Infantil e Pediátrica na assistência a crianças/jovens e sua família, em todos os contextos, tendo em vista a promoção da saúde, nomeadamente na prevenção de acidentes. Assim, foram delineados objetivos específicos e desenvolvidas atividades quer com os profissionais de saúde, quer com as crianças/famílias, segundo a metodologia de projeto e tendo em conta a evidência científica, tendo sido criadas instruções de trabalho; documentos de orientação; folhetos e cartazes informativos; sessões de formação e de educação para a saúde, em todos os contextos de estágio. As intervenções desenvolvidas permitiram uma maior sensibilização para a temática e consequentemente a adoção de comportamentos saudáveis. O relatório permite assim, uma descrição e análise reflexiva das mesmas, tendo como fim a promoção da saúde ao nível da prevenção de acidentes nas crianças.
Accidents are the leading cause of death and disability in children, thus becoming a public health problem. Several international and national entities emphasize that environmental safety and accidents are constant, in the first line prevention care provided to children and that should be our focus. The nurse must develop interventions that lead to risk reduction by creating safe environments. Pender’s health promotion model is one of the nursing models aimed at improving the quality of care and promoting safety by changing behaviors through nursing actions. The prevention of accidents and teaching the child/adolescent to protect themselves from risky situations are issues that are part of their education and development process. Emphasis should also be placed on involvement whit parents/caregivers at this level. The main goal of the intervention was to develop the competencies of nursing specialist in assisting children and their families, in all contexts, in order prevent accidents. Thus, specific objectives were set and activities were developed both with health professionals and with children/families, according to the project methodology and taking into account the scientific evidence, following protocols; guidance documents; brochures and posters; training sessions and health education. The interventions developed allowed a greater awareness of the theme and consequently the adoption of healthy behaviors. This study describes a reflective analysis of the interventions aiming the promotion of health in children.
