Introdução: Hábitos alimentares inadequados estão na origem de algumas das
patologias mais prevalentes em Portugal, tornando-os um dos principais
determinantes de saúde responsáveis pelo total de anos de vida saudáveis perdidos
(DGS, 2017a). Deste modo, para a promoção de estilos de vida saudáveis é
necessária a participação dos utentes no próprio processo. Assim, as competências
de literacia em saúde têm um papel fundamental para conseguir mudanças de
comportamento. (Parnell, 2015). Este projeto de intervenção comunitária foi
desenvolvido numa unidade de cuidados de saúde personalizados (UCSP) em Lisboa,
tendo por objetivo contribuir para a promoção de hábitos de alimentação saudáveis.
Metodologia: Foi realizada uma Scoping Review com os objetivos de mapear a
evidência existente referente à temática da literacia funcional em saúde, e de
compreender de que forma os níveis de literacia podem influenciar a escolha de
hábitos de alimentação saudáveis, respetivamente. Para este efeito, foi adotada a
Metodologia do Planeamento em Saúde, utilizando como referencial teórico o Modelo
de Promoção da Saúde de Nola J. Pender. De forma a elaborar o Diagnóstico de
Situação foi aplicado o questionário Newest Vital Sign (NVS), que foi validado e
adaptado à população portuguesa. No que respeita a análise estatística dos dados,
recorreu-se ao programa informático SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences ®). Após a priorização dos problemas identificados, definidos os objetivos e
selecionadas as estratégias a aplicar, foram realizadas sessões de educação para a
saúde (EPS) na comunidade.
Resultados: O Diagnostico de Situação revelou que 97,2 % dos indivíduos não
realizam um consumo adequado de frutas e vegetais. Adicionalmente, revelou que
43,2% dos indivíduos apresentam uma alta probabilidade de literacia funcional em
saúde limitada. Em suma, através da avaliação das sessões de educação para a
saúde, foi constatado que todas as metas propostas foram cumpridas. Deste modo,
os objetivos específicos deste estudo foram também atingidos.
Conclusões: A realização deste projeto teve como objetivo contribuir para a
promoção de hábitos de alimentação saudáveis junto dos utentes da UCSP, através
da realização de sessões de educação para a saúde, adaptadas ao nível de literacia
funcional em saúde da comunidade. O projeto, aqui apresentado, contribuiu também
para o desenvolvimento de competências específicas do Enfermeiro Especialista na
área de Saúde Comunitária.
Introduction: Some of the most prevailing pathologies in Portugal are derived from bad eating habits, being one of the primary health determinants that are accountable for the totality of healthy years lost. (DGS,2017a). To promote healthy lifestyles, it is necessary to involve the patients during their own process. Therefore, health literacy competencies play a major role at achieving this behavioural change. (Parnell, 2015). The community intervention took place in a personalized health care unit (UCSP) in Lisbon, aiming to promote healthy eating habits. Methodology: A scoping review was applied with two main objectives. First, to map the existing literature in health literacy and secondly to determine health literacy’s influence to choose healthy eating habits. Furthermore, having the Health Promotion Model, proposed by Nola J. Pender, as a theoretical background, a Health Planning Methodology was applied. Moreover, to create the Situation Diagnostic, the Newest Vital Sign questionnaire (adapted and validated for the portuguese population) was applied. Additionally, the statistical analysis and testing was accomplished using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences®) technology. After prioritizing the identified problems, defining objectives and selecting the strategy, community health education sessions were held. Results: The Situation Diagnosis showed that 97.2% of the individuals does not make adequate consumption of fruits and vegetables and that 43.2% of the individuals has a high probability of functional health literacy in limited health. From the evaluation of the health education sessions, we verified that the established evaluation indicators were met. Hence, the specific goals were also accomplished. Conclusions: This project contributes to the promotion of healthy eating habits of the patients of the UCSP. This was accomplished through health education sessions based on the community functional health literacy. Moreover, it contributes to the development of a Nurse specialist in community health competences.
