1627/2012 - ACESSO, PRÁTICA EDUCATIVA E EMPODERAMENTO DE PACIENTES COM DOENÇAS CRÔNICAS ACCESS, EDUCATIONAL PRACTICE AND EMPOWERMENT OF PATIENTS WITHCHRONIC DISEASES
O Empoderamento é um processo pelo qual as pessoas adquirem o domínio sobre suas vidas, apreendendo conhecimento para tomar decisões acerca de sua saúde. Cada dia mais comuns, as doenças crônicas estão presentes no serviço de saúde, requerendo atenção dos profissionais de saúde e empoderamento dos acometidos por elas. Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar as percepções dos usuários com doenças crônicas, em acompanhamento na Estratégia Saúde da Família sobre o empoderamento. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa na qual foram realizadas entrevistas abertas e observação sistemática. A análise dos dados se deu com a utilização do software NVIVO. Os usuários apontam a existência de algumas barreiras geográficas no acesso à saúde gerando fadiga e falta de estímulo, e ocasionando baixa continuidade do tratamento. Observou-se que a adesão e a prática do cuidado estão intimamente ligadas ao atendimento diferenciado, baseado na confiança e no respeito aos anseios dos usuários. Estes consideram a orientação e a educação em saúde como elementos principais para incentivar a prática do cuidado de si. Torna-se necessário reestruturar a conduta dos profissionais inseridos na Estratégia Saúde da Família, uma vez que tem como função a promoção da saúde, em uma lógica intersetorial e interdisciplinar.
