O atendimento à pessoa diabética e a formação de enfermeiros para a utilização do SAPE na UCSP de Marvila

Abstract

This essay, consists in a report describing all the developed activities during the Community Health Master Degree at Portuguese Catholic University, Health Science Institute (Instituto Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Católica Portuguesa). Community nursing implies a wide range of intervention areas, and for that reason the nurse with this specialty must be able to intervene in any health problems identified in the community, group or individual. The internship was developed in three 180 hours modules, consisting in two intervention projects, using health planning methodology. During the first two modules of the internship, the nurse consult to the diabetic person was reorganized, and had as its goal the promotion of USCP Marvila diabetic user’s autonomy, allowing the use of different strategies that meet the objectives proposed by the Diabetes Prevention and Control National Program. The project leitmotiv was the training of the diabetic person to manage their disease. Individual and group intervention strategies were implemented, always considering that the individual is unique, and their individuality must be respected and used so that the nurse can truly be the user health problems management autonomy facilitator. We sought to develop specific skills, notably those involving the use of health planning methodology, integrating the training of groups to maintain and restore health. The second project carried out in the internship third module, had as an objective the training of reference nurses in the use of CIPE/SAPE software at Marvila UCSP. It emerged naturally after the good results obtained with the use of computer software in the previous project. Since then, the nurses considered it important to extend the use of SAPE software to all other nursing programs. During training phase, January 2011, 228 SAPE nursing record were made, from which 22 refer diabetic persons and the remainder are distributed across all nursing programs in development in the unit. Throughout the project, the competencies related to training were undoubtedly the most developed. A culture of prevention.is all I desire for my future practice as a community health specialist nurse
