Community Health Agent

O Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS) é o principal elo entre a comunidade e a Unidade de Saúde, no território onde está inserido. Sua dinâmica laboral pode gerar sobrecarga emocional e física que podem impactar negativamente na sua saúde, tornando-se necessária a realização de ações direcionadas à saúde desse trabalhador. Diante disso, o objetivo do presente trabalho é relatar a experiência de sessões de Ginástica Laboral (GL) com ACS de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família no município de Itabuna-BA. As sessões de Ginástica Laboral promoveram bem-estar, valorização da saúde do trabalhador e interação grupal. Ações continuadas de promoção à saúde são imprescindíveis para esses profissionais, que muitas vezes têm sua saúde negligenciada pelo serviço de saúde.      Palavras-chave: ginástica laboral; promoção à saúde; agente comunitário de saúde; saúde do trabalhador; unidade de saúde da família.     Abstract The Community Health Agent (CHA) is the main link between the community and the Health Unit, in the territory where it is inserted. Their work dynamics can generate emotional and physical overload, which can negatively impact their health, making it necessary to carry out actions directed to the health of this worker. Therefore, the objective of the present work is to report the experience of Labor Gymnastics (GL) sessions with CHW from a Family Health Strategy, in the municipality of Itabuna- BA. The Labor Gymnastics sessions promoted well-being, valuing the health of the worker and group interaction. Continued actions to promote health are essential for these professionals, who often have their health neglected by the health service.

Apesar de o uso de medicamentos ser considerado o principal instrumento terapêutico utilizado no processo saúde-doença, inúmeras são as dúvidas e os riscos quanto à administração de medicamentos, especialmente, quanto à posologia. O presente estudo objetivou revisar a literatura disponibilizada pelo Ministério da Saúde sobre o uso de medicamentos, bem como a atuação dos Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACSs) na educação em saúde sobre este tema, e propor uma orientação junto à população em geral por meio de tópicos mais relevantes, que estimulem e despertem a curiosidade e a tomada de decisão pela adesão ao uso racional de medicamentos. Após uma introdução e definições sobre a política nacional de saúde, este artigo considera a importância de identificar tópicos importantes quanto aos riscos da automedicação, incorreta utilização, bem como a interrupção de tratamentos, especialmente, de doenças crônicas. Propôs-se, ainda, o uso de um folheto a ser distribuído no momento da dispensação e nas visitas domiciliares para orientação e controle do uso dos medicamentos em termos de suas posologias. Dessa forma, os ACSs são importantes membros da equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família para fornecer informações sobre o uso seguro e eficaz de medicamentos pelo vínculo estabelecido com a comunidade, especialmente por meio das visitas domiciliares. Conclui-se que o foco dos ACSs, entre tantas atribuições, enquanto educadores em saúde são fundamentais para o estabelecimento de rotinas seguras e eficazes em relação ao uso de medicamentos utilizados pela comunidade, que certamente refletirá na cura de doenças pontuais e/ou bem-estar de pacientes crônicos. Palavras-chave: Agentes Comunitários de Saúde. Estratégia Saúde da Família. Assistência Farmacêutica. AbstractAlthough drug use is considered the main therapeutic tool used in the health-disease process, there are many doubts and risks regarding the administration of medications, especially regarding dosage. This study aimed to review the literature provided by the Ministry of Health about the use of medicines, as well as the action of Community Health Agents (ACSs) in health education on this topic, and to propose guidance to the general population through more relevant topics to stimulate curiosity, and the decision making by adhering to the rational medicines use. Following an introduction and definitions on national health policy, this article considers the importance of identifying important topics regarding the risks of self-medication, incorrect use, and discontinuation of treatments, especially  regarding chronic diseases. It was also proposed the use of a flyer to be distributed at the time of dispensing and at home visits for orientation and control of the medicines use in terms of their dosages. Thus, ACSs are important members of the Family Health Strategy team to provide information about the safe and effective use of drugs through the established link with the community, especially through home visits. It can be concluded that the focus of ACSs, among many attributions, as health educators are fundamental for the establishment of safe and effective routines regarding the use of medicines used by the community which will certainly reflect in the cure of specific diseases and/or the well-being of chronic patients. Keywords: Community Health Agents, Family Health Strategy.

Foram utilizadas referências bibliográficas do período de 1991 a 2015. Resultados: Tem sido evidenciado que os usuários das Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Família apresentam níveis satisfatórios de auto-confiança, acesso e uso dos serviços odontológicos quando o ACS atua como multiplicador de informações/orientações em saúde bucal. Apesar disso, os ACS ainda necessitam de uma melhor capacitação e preparo em atividades educativas, garantindo maior formação profissional e melhoria na execução destas atividades. Conclusão: Salienta-se que neste cenário os cirurgiões-dentistas devem contribuir no processo de empoderamento desta população, promovendo a saúde bucal da mesma.Descritores: Agente Comunitário de Saúde; Estratégia Saúde da Família; Promoção da Saúde; Saúde Bucal.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the strengths and limitations of the Family Health Strategy from the perspective of health care professionals and the community. METHODS: Between June-August 2009, in the city of Vespasiano, Minas Gerais State, Southeastern Brazil, a questionnaire was used to evaluate the Family Health Strategy (ESF) with 77 healthcare professionals and 293 caregivers of children under five. Health care professional training, community access to health care, communication with patients and delivery of health education and pediatric care were the main points of interest in the evaluation. Logistic regression analysis was used to obtain odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals as well as to assess the statistical significance of the variables studied. RESULTS: The majority of health care professionals reported their program training was insufficient in quantity, content and method of delivery. Caregivers and professionals identified similar weaknesses (services not accessible to the community, lack of healthcare professionals, poor training for professionals) and strengths (community health worker-patient communications, provision of educational information, and pediatric care). Recommendations for improvement included: more doctors and specialists, more and better training, and scheduling improvements. Caregiver satisfaction with the ESF was found to be related to perceived benefits such as community health agent household visits (OR 5.8, 95%CI 2.8;12.1), good professional-patient relationships (OR 4.8, 95%CI 2.5;9.3), and family-focused health (OR 4.1, 95%CI 1.6;10.2); and perceived problems such as lack of personnel (OR 0.3, 95%CI 0.2;0.6), difficulty with access (OR 0.2, 95%CI 0.1;0.4), and poor quality of care (OR 0.3, 95%CI 0.1;0.6). Overall, 62% of caregivers reported being generally satisfied with the ESF services. CONCLUSIONS: Identifying the limitations and strengths of the Family Health Strategy from the healthcare professional and caregiver perspective may serve to advance primary community healthcare in Brazil.

The discussions were analyzed using Content Analysis, organized into thematic categories. Results: Actions of a collective nature were identified, such as activities in groups, meetings, conversation circles, lectures and guidance in the waiting room. Other directed actions were used, such as guidelines during individual consultations and referral to specialized services. Conclusion: The need for the discussion of health promotion and actions in relation to old age was highlighted, with debate and reflection on this theme required locally, along with the need to build a network of support for the health of the elderly in a shared manner among professionals, managers and the community.
