Abstract:

This article analyzes the feasibility of implementing a program that monitors the hearing and language development in the first year of life. It is a prospective longitudinal study, in which forty-one community health workers were invited to monitor, on a monthly basis by means of a questionnaire validated earlier, the hearing and language of children born in their micro areas of expertise. Thirty-nine community health workers agreed to participate, with only two refusals. Five gave up participation. Twenty-six (66.66%) did not perform monitoring, seven (17.94%) improperly monitored and only six (15.38%) monitored properly. Just a child failed the quiz, which was forwarded to the hospital that conducted the hearing and was screened for retesting. It is believed that the high demand of activities of these professionals was the main reason for the difficulties encountered in this project. In addition, there is the difficulty in touch with Family Health Strategy, as well as the impossibility of permanent classroom discussions and the influence of supervisors and community health workers.
