Abstract(s)
O desenvolvimento da sociedade nos últimos anos contribuiu para um desenvolvimento das
condições de vida e dos cuidados de saúde, levando a um aumento da esperança média de vida,
e permitindo assim alterações demográficas de entre as quais se destacam o envelhecimento.
Este facto provoca alterações profundas a vários níveis, entre os quais económicos, sociais,
familiares e de saúde.
Numa época em que o progresso científico e o desenvolvimento tecnológico têm
proporcionado importantes avanços a todos os níveis, paralelamente têm emergido novas
ameaças à saúde de todos nós. O cenário atual em que vivemos não é fácil, os recursos são cada
vez mais escassos e as disparidades socioeconómicas começam a acentuar-se.
O envelhecimento é um tema que tem suscitado interesse no meio político, social,
económico e académico, e há um reconhecimento de que o seu processo pode ser mais ou
menos complexo, com mais ou menos pesar para os que o experienciam na primeira pessoa,
mas também para aqueles que de perto vivem este fenómeno. Apesar de estar disponível
muita informação sobre este assunto, acreditamos que nunca é demais abordar e estudar esta
problemática. A sua persistência e aumento significativo, previsivelmente duradouro, merecem
todas as soluções, propostas e intervenções que possam ir ao encontro destas necessidades, para
que assim, possam ser colmatadas ou minimizadas.
Tendo em conta estas premissas, o estágio de intervenção comunitária decorreu no período
de 16 de Setembro de 2013 a 31 de Janeiro de 2014, na Freguesia de Tramaga, sendo a população
alvo os idosos com 65 ou mais anos.
A intervenção comunitária foi desenvolvida com base no planeamento em saúde, mas no
âmbito da promoção da saúde todas as atividades foram baseadas na Teoria de Organização
Comunitária, uma vez que no decurso das atividades desenvolvidas, o principal objetivo passou
pela capacitação dos idosos, incentivando ao empowerment.
Enquanto profissionais de saúde, o propósito da intervenção comunitária passou pela
transmissão de conhecimentos e sensibilização aos idosos, para que estes possam participar de
maneira informada e consciente na tomada de decisão relativamente à sua saúde.
O objetivo final será a sensibilização positiva para a mudança de comportamentos,
traduzindo ganhos em saúde, ainda que a longo prazo.
Este estágio de intervenção comunitária permitiu-nos adquirir a maioria das competências
gerais do Enfermeiro Especialista, bem como as competências específicas do Enfermeiro Especialista em Enfermagem Comunitária e de Saúde Pública definidas pela Ordem dos
Enfermeiros.
The society development in the last years contributed to living conditions development and health care, taking to an increase in average life expectancy, allowing demographic changes among which stands out aging. This fact causes deep changes at various levels, including economic, social, family and health. At a time when scientific progress and technological development have proportionated significant progresses at all levels, have emerged alongside new threats to our health. The current scenario in which we live is not easy, resources are increasingly scarce and socioeconomic disparities begin to increase. Aging is an issue that has raised interest among political, social, economic and academic enviroments, and there is a recognition that its process can be more or less complex, with more or less regret for those who experience in the first person, but also for those who live closely this phenomenon. Despite being available much information on this subject, we believe that it never hurts to approach and study this issue. Its persistence and significant increase, predictably lasting deserve all solutions, proposals and interventions that can meet these needs, so that, they can be bridged or minimized. Having these assumptions in mind, the community intervention training took place in the period from 16th September 2013 to 31st January 2014, in Tramaga Parish, and the target population were aged people with 65 years old and more. The community intervention was developed based on the planning in health, but in the context of health promotion. All activities were based on Community Organization Theory, because during the activities, the main goal was to enable the elderly, encouraging the empowerment. As health professionals, the purpose of the community intervention was done through transmitting knowledge and awareness of the elderly, in order they can participate in an informed and conscious decision-making regarding their health. The final goal will be the positive awareness of behaviour changes, translating health gains, even if a long-term. This community intervention training has enabled us to acquire the majority of the general skills of a Specialist Nurse, as well as specific skills of a Specialist Nurse in the Nursing Community and Public Health defined by the Order of Nurses.
