Adolescente em risco

Abstract

This report comes as part of the discipline with the same name, integrated on the Master's Degree with specialization in Children and Youth Health of the Health Sciences Institute at the Lisbon Catholic University. With this document I intend to report in a succinct and reflexive way the experience, objectives and the activities as well as the learning carried out in the course modules. The recommended internships are divided into three modules. The first it’s divided into two areas, the community resources, that took place on an adolescent outpatient consultation and the Primary Health Care, which was developed on a Community Care Unit. On the latest I developed a nursing consultation project for adolescents, perform various health promotion activities and still, participate in activities of the Children and Youth Protection Committee. The second module was dedicated to providing care in a pediatric inpatient service, in a central hospital, where I developed information support material to adolescents. The third and final module is divided into two areas, namely neonatology, where I provided care to the premature baby but also, performed activities to promote healthy adolescent maternity, and pediatrics emergency which I didn’t performed due to professional experience accreditation. Among the acquired competencies I outline a few, namely: parentally promotion; the ability to manage social reinstatement; early diagnose and intervention on common diseases and risk situations; the recognition of unstable vital signs situations and death risk and give adequate nursing care; promotion of the development and child growth; promotion of the ill newborn with special needs attachment; self-esteem and self-determination promotion of the adolescent on his heath care choices.
