Empowerment comunitário em saúde escolar – adolescente com diabetes mellitus tipo 1.

Health policies point to a greater intervention and accountability of the community towards the health of its members and their full integration in society, promoting the development of health literacy based on an empowerment philosophy. Since the school is a favorable context for intervention, this study, through a review of the literature and based on the Empowerment Nursing-User Model and Laverack Community Empowerment Model, aims to elaborate a Nursing Care Plan Model aimed at training the school community with adolescents with DM1, using ICNP 2017. Agglutinating the first phase of the Laverack Community Empowerment Model (personal action) with the examples of Empowerment Nursing-User Model empowering behaviors (access to information, support, resources, opportunities to learn and grow, informal power and formal power), we identified diagnoses as: potential to raise awareness of the relationship between the therapeutic regimen and DM1 control and potentiality to improve the problematic meaning attributed to the therapeutic regime or illness by the adolescent. According to the phases of approach of small community groups and development of community organizations, we identified diagnoses aimed at the school community and the family like the potential to improve awareness of their role towards the adolescent with DM1. Community empowerment is an instrument to be used in the development of the process of school inclusion and training adolescents with DM1 as well as the whole school community.porDiabetes Mellitus type 1School health promotioncommunity health nursingEmpowermentconference object
