Educar para o uso consciente do Serviço de Urgência Pediátrica
O número de crianças que recorre à Urgência Pediátrica tem vindo a aumentar ao longo
dos anos. Contudo, a maioria dos casos é de falsas urgências, que poderiam ser tratadas
no nível dos cuidados de saúde primários. Isto gera piora na prestação de cuidados de
saúde, insatisfação dos utentes e profissionais de saúde e aumento dos custos (Caldeira,
Santos, Pontes, Dourado e Rodrigues, 2006; Rodrigues, 2012). Assim, é importante
entender os motivos que fazem pais e mães recorrer ao serviço de urgência pediátrica
(SUP) e buscar soluções para amenizar o problema, onde se acredita que a educação tem
um importante papel. Nesse sentido, este trabalho apresenta um programa de
intervenção educativa com o objetivo de promover a literacia em saúde de mães e pais
de crianças entre 5 e 9 anos de idade, a frequentar um Colégio em Coimbra. Baseado
numa metodologia de natureza mista e exploratória, o programa tem ainda como
objetivos específicos: i) Conhecer os principais fatores que motivam os pais e mães
dessas crianças a recorrer ao serviço de urgência pediátrica; ii) Implementar cinco
sessões educativas com os pais e as mães deste programa, sobre os principais sinais de
alerta nas crianças que justifiquem o recurso ao serviço de urgência; e iii) avaliar os
conhecimentos adquiridos após a implementação das sessões educativas. Durante 5
sessões educativas serão abordados os seguintes temas: urgências pediátricas; doenças
comuns da infância; sinais de alerta para recorrer à urgência; doenças ligeiras que
podem ser tratadas em casa; literacia em saúde e uso consciente da urgência pediátrica.
Durante os encontros são realizadas dinâmicas de grupo para potencializar os resultados.
Além disso, serão aplicados um questionário antes das sessões, para verificar os
conhecimentos prévios e as percepções dos/das participantes, e um questionário
posterior aos encontros (um mês após), para avaliar a evolução dos conhecimentos. Com
isto, espera-se conseguir compreender as motivações dos/das participantes ao levarem
suas crianças ao SUP e, principalmente, contruibir para o uso consciente do SUP por
estes indivíduos.
Educate for the conscious use of the Pediatric Emergency Service The number of children using Pediatric Urgency has increased over the years. However, the majority of cases are false emergencies, which could be treated at the level of primary health care. This leads to a worsening of health care provision, dissatisfaction of users and health professionals and increased costs (Caldeira, Santos, Pontes, Dourado e Rodrigues, 2006; Rodrigues, 2012). Thus, it is important to understand the reasons that fathers and mothers turn to the pediatric emergency service (SUP) and seek solutions to alleviate the problem, where education is believed to play an important role. This work is an educational intervention program that seeks to promote health literacy that targets fathers and mothers of children between 5 and 9 years old, attending a College in Coimbra. Based on a mixed and exploratory methodology, the program also has the following specific objectives: i) know the main factors that motivate the fathers and mothers of these children to use the pediatric emergency service; ii) Implement five educational sessions with the fathers and mothers of this program, on the main warning signs in children that justify the use of the emergency service; and iii) evaluate the knowledge acquired after the implementation of the educational sessions. The following topics will be addressed during 5 educational sessions: pediatric emergencies; common childhood illnesses; warning signs to resort to urgency; mild illnesses that can be treated at home; health literacy and conscious use of pediatric urgency. During the meetings, group dynamics are carried out to enhance the results. In addition, a questionnaire will be applied before the meetings, to check the participants' prior knowledge and perceptions, and a questionnaire after the meetings, to assess the evolution of knowledge (one month after). With this, expected to achieve to understand the motivations of the participants when taking their children to the SUP and, mainly, to contribute to the conscious use of the SUP by these individuals.
