AvaliaÃÃo da atuaÃÃo do enfermeiro na prevenÃÃo de DST/AIDS no programa saÃde na escola. / EVALUATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF NURSES IN PREVENTING DST/AIDS IN HEALTH PROGRAM IN SCHOOL

Adna de AraÃjo Silva 20 December 2013 (has links)
As doenÃas sexualmente transmissÃveis (DST), o vÃrus da imunodeficiÃncia humana (HIV) e a sÃndrome da imunodeficiÃncia adquirida (Aids) constituem significativos problemas de saÃde pÃblica no Brasil e no mundo. Qualquer pessoa sexualmente ativa pode adquirir DST/HIV/Aids. Entretanto, o adolescente à considerado sujeito bastante vulnerÃvel. O estudo apresenta como objetivo geral avaliar a atuaÃÃo de enfermeiros na prevenÃÃo de DST/Aids com adolescentes no Programa SaÃde na Escola. Pesquisa de avaliaÃÃo com abordagem quanti-qualitativa, realizada de janeiro a novembro de 2013. Os sujeitos do estudo foram setenta e oito enfermeiros que atuavam no Programa SaÃde na Escola (PSE) de Fortaleza, CearÃ, Brasil. Para coleta de dados, foi adotada a entrevista semiestruturada e o checklist. Para organizaÃÃo e anÃlise dos dados, foi tomado por referÃncia o MÃtodo de InterpretaÃÃo dos Sentidos e a anÃlise estatÃstica descritiva por meio do software Excel. A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comità de Ãtica em Pesquisa da Universidade Federal do CearÃ, conforme parecer de n 209.337 de 28/02/2013. Os resultados apresentam que a grande maioria dos sujeitos da pesquisa nÃo realizou satisfatoriamente as aÃÃes preconizadas pelo MinistÃrio da SaÃde para o PSE e, por conseguinte, nÃo alcanÃaram os resultados esperados na linha de aÃÃo EducaÃÃo para SaÃde Sexual, SaÃde Reprodutiva e PrevenÃÃo das DST/Aids e de Hepatites Virais. Assim, por meio do checklist, a maioria afirma que nÃo foram realizados e alcanÃados as seguintes aÃÃes e resultados: nÃo houve, de forma contÃnua, encontros de mobilizaÃÃo e sensibilizaÃÃo na Ãrea; atividades que utilizassem metodologias participativas; formaÃÃo de estudantes nos temas; envolvimento dos educandos no planejamento, execuÃÃo e avaliaÃÃo das atividades; debates com a comunidade escolar sobre a importÃncia da participaÃÃo juvenil; inclusÃo das temÃticas nos projetos polÃtico-pedagÃgicos das escolas; aÃÃes educativas e participativas sobre os temas; adesÃo dos educandos e da comunidade escolar Ãs atividades desenvolvidas e disponibilizaÃÃo de preservativos nas escolas. Contudo, à oportuno destacar que alguns sujeitos do estudo afirmaram por meio de depoimentos que tais aÃÃes foram desenvolvidas com a periodicidade devida, utilizando-se de estratÃgias apropriadas. Todavia, importantes obstÃculos foram encontrados para a nÃo efetivaÃÃo dessas aÃÃes pela maioria dos profissionais, que perpassam por aspectos profissionais (habilidades e competÃncias), administrativos e gerenciais (papel das instÃncias gestoras envolvidas no programa) e do pÃblico envolvido (adolescentes e famÃlias). Neste sentido, o estudo obteve informaÃÃes fundamentais que sugerem a necessidade de modificaÃÃes urgentes no programa, a fim de que a atuaÃÃo do enfermeiro venha ser capaz de colaborar, de fato, na promoÃÃo da saÃde sexual e reprodutiva de adolescentes assistidos pelo PSE. E, nÃo somente isso, mas para que estes e os demais atores envolvidos consigam cumprir o objetivo central do programa de promover formaÃÃo e atenÃÃo integral a estudantes, levando a uma melhoria da qualidade de vida e saÃde destes sujeitos. / Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (Aids) represent significant public health problems in Brazil and the whole world. Any sexually active person is susceptible to contract STD/HIV/AIDS. Nonetheless, adolescents are considered very vulnerable subjects. The main objective of this study is to assess the performance of nurses in the prevention of STD/AIDS with adolescents in the School Health Program. This is an evaluation research with quantitative and qualitative approach, conducted from January to November 2013. The subjects in study were 78 nurses working in the School Health Program (SHP) in Fortaleza, CearÃ, Brazil. For data collection, we applied the semi-structured interview and the checklist. For data organization and analysis, we used the Method of Meanings Interpretation as reference and the descriptive statistical analysis through the Excel software. The Research Ethics Committee of the Universidade Federal do CearÃ, under protocol No. 209.337 of February 28, 2013, approved the study. The results show that the vast majority of the subjects in study did not satisfactorily perform the actions recommended by the Ministry of Health for the SHP and therefore did not achieve the expected results in the course of action on Education for Sexual Health, Reproductive Health, and Prevention of STD/AIDS and Viral Hepatitis. Thus, through the checklist, most people reported they did not perform nor achieve the following actions and results: continuous mobilization and sensitization meetings in the area; activities that used participatory methodologies; students training on the themes; students involvement in planning, implementation and evaluation of activities; discussions with the school community about the importance of adolescents participation; inclusion of themes in the political-educational school projects; educational and participatory activities on the themes; adherence of students and school community to the activities developed; and the provision of condoms in schools. However, it is worth mentioning that some subjects in study, through the interviews, reported that such actions happened with the proper periodicity, using appropriate strategies. Nevertheless, we identified several barriers for the non-implementation of these actions by most professionals, involving professional aspects (skills and competencies), administrative and managerial aspects (role of management levels involved in the program), and aspects of the public in question (adolescents and families). In this sense, the study obtained essential information that point to the need for urgent modifications in the program, so that the nursesâ performance collaborates effectively to the promotion of sexual and reproductive health of adolescents assisted by the SHP. Also, for these and the other actors involved fulfill the main objective of the program, which is promoting education and comprehensive care for students, thus leading to an improved quality of life and health of these subjects.

Assim, o objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi avaliar a aplicaÃÃo de um plantÃo educativo sobre DST/HIV/AIDS com adolescentes de uma escola pÃblica em Imperatriz â MA. Pesquisa de intervenÃÃo, quase-experimental, quantiqualitativa, com delineamento longitudinal. Foram avaliados 250 adolescentes escolares entre janeiro e junho de 2013 em trÃs etapas. Na primeira, os adolescentes responderam um instrumento sobre o conhecimento, os comportamentos e as atitudes frente Ãs DST/HIV/AIDS antes de participar da intervenÃÃo educativa. Na segunda etapa, os estudantes participaram do plantÃo educativo. Na terceira etapa, os adolescentes responderam novamente um instrumento para avaliar se houve mudanÃa nos conhecimentos, comportamentos e nas atitudes em relaÃÃo Ãs DST/HIV/AIDS, 30 dias apÃs a intervenÃÃo educativa. Analisaram-se na amostra estratificada as caracterÃsticas sociodemogrÃficas, o conhecimento dos adolescentes quanto ao acesso e uso de serviÃos de saÃde, as fontes de informaÃÃo utilizadas sobre DST/HIV/AIDS, e, os conhecimentos, comportamentos e as atitudes quanto Ãs prÃticas sexuais seguras frente Ãs DST/HIV/AIDS antes e depois da intervenÃÃo educativa. Os dados foram analisados no software estatÃstico STATA versÃo 8.0. Os adolescentes possuem mÃdia de 15,5 anos de idade, sÃo solteiros (as) sem parceiro (a) fixo (75,6%), com predomÃnio do sexo feminino (52,4%) e renda familiar entre um e trÃs salÃrios mÃnimos (46%). Verificaram-se tendÃncias de aumento proporcional estatisticamente significante por sexo (p-valor=0,00), evidenciando maior nÃvel de instruÃÃo dos pais dos meninos. Houve tendÃncia de aumento estatisticamente significante com relaÃÃo ao sexo dos entrevistados (p-valor=0,02), sinalizando menor rendimento familiar entre as meninas. A maioria dos estudantes nÃo tem indicaÃÃo de serviÃos de saÃde pela escola (79,6%). As principais fontes de informaÃÃo fora da escola sobre DST/HIV/AIDS sÃo rÃdio/televisÃo/jornal (54%). Os adolescentes aumentaram o conhecimento sobre os sintomas (99,2%), as formas de transmissÃo da AIDS (100%) e o uso do preservativo para prevenir DST/HIV/AIDS (100%). Parcela substancial dos adolescentes (98,4%) acredita nÃo ter nenhuma possibilidade de adquirir o HIV. Os que tÃm atividade sexual possuem um parceiro (56,3%) e usaram preservativo na Ãltima relaÃÃo sexual (65,7%). Os adolescentes avaliaram o plantÃo educativo como muito bom (77,6%), referiram ter mudado os conhecimentos e os comportamentos em relaÃÃo Ãs DST/AIDS para melhor (79,6%) e manter o uso do preservativo nas relaÃÃes sexuais. Portanto, o plantÃo educativo na escola pode ser considerado uma nova estratÃgia de educaÃÃo em saÃde, jà que aumentou nos adolescentes o conhecimento e a adesÃo a comportamentos saudÃveis para a prevenÃÃo de DST/HIV/AIDS. / In the panorama of STD / HIV / AIDS among adolescents, the strategy is to control the transmission prevention in order to promote their health. From the perspective of implementing new strategies, considering the characteristics of adolescence, their vulnerability, and lack of educational long term was used in this study, a new proposal adopted in school: the duty of the individual educational teenager.
