Abstract(s)
A diabetes Mellitus é uma doença crónica, tendo em Portugal incidência expressiva na
população entre os 45 e 74 anos de idade. Com base na metodologia de planeamento em saúde,
identificamos como prioridade de intervenção, num dos concelhos da Área Metropolitana de Lisboa,
a complicação diabética “pé diabético”. Desenvolvemos um projeto de intervenção, tendo como
população alvo utentes com diabetes, dos 45 aos 74 anos, das unidades de saúde do concelho. O
projeto teve como objetivo geral promover a literacia em saúde sobre a prevenção do “pé diabético”.
Percebemos uma ausência de cuidados diários dos pés por parte da população alvo, tendo sido
desenvolvidas sessões educativas sobre o tema através de rodas de conversa. O enfermeiro deve ser
efetivo nos cuidados, valorizando a promoção da literacia em saúde para prevenir complicações da
diabetes, incluindo-a na sua rotina.

Based on the health planning methodology, we identified as a priority for intervention, in one of the municipalities of the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon, the diabetic complication “diabetic foot”. We developed an intervention project, having as target population users with diabetes, aged 45 to 74, from health units in the county. The overall objective of the project was to promote health literacy on the prevention of “diabetic foot”. We noticed a lack of daily foot care by the target population, with educational sessions on the subject having been developed through conversation circles. Nurses must be effective in providing care, valuing the promotion of health literacy to prevent diabetes complications, including it in their routine
