Resumo(s)
A ocorrência de quedas constitui um grande problema de saúde pública, uma vez que é considerada uma das principais causas de morte por ferimentos não intencionais em todo o mundo, sendo que a maioria ocorre nas pessoas idosas. Em Portugal, e em consonância com a Europa e o resto do Mundo, verifica-se um crescente envelhecimento assim como o elevado número de quedas nesta população, o que mostra que é uma realidade preocupante e um problema de saúde prioritário a ser trabalhado pelos profissionais de saúde, principalmente no âmbito da prevenção. O projeto de intervenção comunitária Mais Vale Prevenir Que Cair, incidiu sobre a temática da Prevenção de Quedas nos Idosos, e foi desenvolvido tendo por base a metodologia do Planeamento em Saúde, segundo Imperatori e Giraldes (1993) e usando como suporte o referencial teórico, o Modelo de Promoção da Saúde de Nola Pender. Foi definido como objetivo geral do projeto: contribuir para a capacitação dos alunos com 65 ou mais anos de idade das Universidades Sénior da área de abrangência da Unidade de Saúde Pública (USP), na prevenção de quedas, no período temporal de 9 de setembro a 18 de dezembro de 2024. Na fase do Diagnóstico de Situação foi realizada a aplicação de instrumentos de recolha de dados assim como uma Pesquisa de Consenso, em que foi possível validar problemas, definir prioridades através da aplicação da Grelha de Análise, ficando priorizados os Diagnósticos de conhecimento comprometido sobre fatores de risco para a ocorrência de quedas e o conhecimento comprometido sobre medidas e estratégias de prevenção de quedas, e ainda validar os objetivos definidos para o projeto. As estratégias utilizadas foram a Educação para a Saúde, a Articulação com Parceiros e o Suporte Documental. Na avaliação, foi possível verificar o contributo efetivo na capacitação da população-alvo para a adoção de medidas de prevenção de quedas, obtendo assim ganhos em saúde.
The occurrence of falls is a major public health problem, as it is considered one of the main causes of death from unintentional injuries worldwide, with the majority occurring in the elderly. In Portugal, and in line with Europe and the rest of the world, there is a growing ageing population as well as a high number of falls in this population, which shows that it is a worrying reality and a priority health problem to be worked on by health professionals, especially in the field of prevention. The community intervention project Prevention is Better than Falling focused on the theme of preventing falls in the elderly and was developed based on the methodology of Health Planning, according to Imperatori and Giraldes (1993) and using Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model as a theoretical framework. The general aim of the project was to help train students aged 65 and over from the Senior Universities in the area covered by the Public Health Unit (USP) in falls prevention, during the period from September 9 to December 18, 2024. In the Situation Diagnosis phase, data collection instruments were applied, as well as a Consensus Survey, in which it was possible to validate problems, define priorities through the application of the Analysis Grid, prioritizing the diagnoses of compromised knowledge about risk factors for the occurrence of falls and compromised knowledge about fall prevention measures and strategies, and also validating the objectives defined for the project. The strategies used were Health Education, Articulation with Partners and Documentary Support. In the evaluation, it was possible to verify the effective contribution to training the target population to adopt measures to prevent falls, thus obtaining health gains.
