As doenças cardiovasculares em Portugal, continuam a representar a maior causa de morte (cerca de 40%), assim como constituem também uma importante causa de incapacidade. Este fenómeno encontra-se por sua vez associado a um aumento da percentagem de mortes em indivíduos de idade precoce. Frequentemente, este tipo de problemas surge devido a factores de risco, que na maior parte das situações, poderiam ser modificados.
Considerado como um importante suporte teórico, procurou-se incluir neste estudo os contributos de Nola Pender, uma vez que a sua teoria se preocupa com pessoa humana na sua unicidade, não descurando todo o meio que a envolve e que pode ser condicionante das suas atitudes.
Partindo do princípio de que se forem diminuídos os factores de risco, diminui o
risco de doenças cardiovasculares, foi realizado um diagnóstico de situação numa
população de 40 indivíduos numa faixa etária entre os 22 e os 65 anos, funcionários nas
Juntas de Freguesia do Lumiar, Ameixoeira e Charneca. O intuito deste trabalho, prendeu-se com o facto de perceber quais os factores de risco presentes, avaliar o risco global cardiovascular e suas implicações na vida dos indivíduos.
Do rastreio realizado 18 indivíduos pertenciam ao Centro de Saúde do Lumiar tendo sido identificados 6 que apresentavam um risco de doença cardiovascular a 10 Anos superior a 1%.
Tendo em conta a importância da Enfermagem de Saúde Comunitária no âmbito da promoção da saúde e associando esta necessidade à realidade vivida no Centro de Saúde do Lumiar, foi elaborado um projecto destinado à implementação de uma consulta de enfermagem neste centro de saúde.
A possibilidade de realizar o terceiro módulo em contexto de trabalho (serviço de
nefrologia do Hospital Curry Cabral), permitiu criar naquele serviço uma visão de
enfermagem direccionada para temas relacionados com a Saúde Comunitária. Entre
estes, pode evidenciar-se o trabalho produzido para tentar minimizar as barreiras ao nível da comunicação, estabelecendo parcerias com outras instituições da comunidade.
Neste módulo, devido às barreiras linguísticas que se impõem junto da população alvo e tendo em consideração o fenómeno da multiculturalidade, foi importante relembrar os ensinamentos proporcionados por Madeline Leininger.
Cardiovascular diseases in Portugal keep representing the major cause of death (around 40%), as well as a very important cause of incapacity. This phenomenon is in turn associated to an increase of the percentage of deaths in individuals at an early age. This kind of problems often occurs due to risk factors, which most times, could be modified. Regarded as a significant theoretical support, the idea was to include in this study the contributes of Nola Pender, once his theory relates to the human being in his unity, not relinquishing the surrounding environment that can influence his attitudes. Assuming that the decreasing of risk factors diminishes the risk of cardiovascular diseases, a diagnosis of the situation was carried in a population of 40 individuals, public employees at the Parish Councils of Lumiar, Ameixoeira and Charneca, with ages between 22 and 65 years. The aim of this work was correlated to the intention of perceiving which risk factors were present, evaluating the global cardiovascular risk and its consequences in the life of individuals. Among these 40 individuals, 18 belonged to the Health Centre of Lumiar, and 6 of them presented a risk of cardiovascular disease in 10 years superior to 1%. Having in mind the importance of Communitarian Health Nursing, in the scope of the promotion of health and associating this need to the reality lived in the Health Centre of Lumiar, a project was made aimed to implement a nursing consultation in this health centre. The possibility of performing the third unit in a working environment (nephrology service of the Curry Cabral Hospital), allowed the creation in that same service of a nursing vision directed to subjects related to Communitarian Health. Among these we can detach the work which tried to minimize barriers to the level of communication, by establishing partnerships with other institutions of the community. In this unity, due to the linguistic barriers which impose themselves to the target population and having in consideration the phenomenon of multiculturalism, it was relevant to remember the teachings provided by Madeleine Leininger.
