Abstract

According to the Diabetes Program (World Health Organization, 2010), diabetes accounts for 5% of global deaths annually. It is also expected an increase of over 50% in the next 10 years if urgent measures are not implemented. Our country is no exception and to show that, we have the recent data from the study of Diabetes Prevalence in Portugal: (PREVADIAB, 2009). Results indicate 11.7% of its population have diabetes, corresponding to 905 035 individuals, one third of its population. These data refer to the ages between 20 and 79 years. According to the magnitude of these data we sought to develop a health diagnosis to the Diabetic Population of the Parish Council of Custóias. We characterized the Diabetic Population of the Parish Council of Custóias that were registered on the private clinics I, II, III with convention with the National Health Service, on the Health Program “Risk Group: Diabetes” of the Support System of the Nurse Practice (SAPE). After that we tried to develop projects included in an Education Program for Type 2 Diabetics that somehow seeks to address some needs of this program. The Education Program for Type 2 diabetes includes four projects, entitled: “Healthy Feet”, “Medication and Diabetes”, “Commemorative Session of the World Diabetes Day” and “Watch to Control”, These projects have emerged to address these priorities for action in the community defined by the consensus from the UCC of Senhora da Hora. The aim was to promote knowledge about diabetes mellitus type 2 on diabetics, in agreement with the National Health Service, belonging to Custóias, who are registered in Private Clinics I, II and III. During the developing of the project, were established partnerships with various entities, including Parish council of Senhora da Hora, Parish council of Custóias and the Health Center and UCC from Senhora da Hora. The joint action was essential for the nurse conduct as a Master in Community Nursing. The strategies adopted were: - Training Course for Diabetics Type 2, in agreement with the National Health Service, belonging to the Town of Custóias, enrolled in Private Clinics I, II and III on the Diabetic Foot, Self-monitoring of blood glucose monitoring and medication regime. - Coordinate the Commemorative Session of the World Diabetes Day in the Town of Custóias; - Home visits for diabetics dependent on moderate to high that could not attend the course; - In-service training for all Health Care Professionals of Sra. da Hora Health Center
