Sentidos atribuídos por profissionais à promoção da saúde do adolescente

Abstract

Este artigo aborda os sentidos atribuídos às práticas de promoção da saúde do adolescente por 47 profissionais da Estratégia Saúde da Família de Fortaleza-Ceará. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa em que a entrevista semiestruturada possibilitou a produção dos dados, organizados posteriormente de acordo com a análise de conteúdo, resultando nas temáticas: a promoção da saúde associada à prevenção de agravos; a redução da promoção da saúde ao espaço escolar; a ausência da promoção da saúde para o adolescente no serviço; e a parceria como caminho da viabilização da promoção da saúde do adolescente. As ações de promoção da saúde foram desenvolvidas de forma contingente e na maioria das vezes nos programas de pré-natal, planejamento familiar e prevenção do câncer. Expressou-se que a escola é destacada pelos profissionais como um espaço de parceria para viabilizar as ações de promoção da saúde para os adolescentes. Evidenciou-se, embora de modo incipiente, a vontade de profissionais em reorientar esta prática nos serviços de saúde.

The school health program: teachers’ perceptions

“…The accomplishment of this program is a differential with respect to the scope of a collective action, favoring the maintenance of a dialogue with the school community and the SHP. 6 Intersectoriality, understood as significant in the results of this study, creates a possibility of a permanent liaison between health and education in Brazilian municipalities, with the school being the scene of the work process focused on health education, in which FHS teams and teachers can maintain a constant interchange to meet the needs expressed by adolescents in their different forms and in line with the social environment where the school is located. Thus, the role of SHP is to direct its scope of work to the individual and family in the community setting, focus its actions by understanding the evidenced needs, promoting the strengthening of lasting links with its customers, and allocating attention also to the teenage audience within the school setting.…”

“…5 This weakness can be overcome through the implementation of the federal government's Family Health Strategy (FHS), which though primarily aimed at family care, should also have a more particular focus on adolescent health, by not only making them feel welcome in health facilities, but also by entering the school environment and conducting health-promoting actions. 6 This opportunity was expanded with the creation of the School Health Program (SHP), established by Presidential Decree No. 6286 of 05 December 2007, whose actions are structured into three components: clinical and psychosocial evaluation; promotion and prevention of health; and training of managers, health and education professionals, and young people.…”

Promoção da saúde de adolescentes e Programa Saúde na Escola: complexidade na articulação saúde e educação

“…According to its regulations the SHP seeks to strengthen articulated actions between public schools and the Family Health Strategy (6) . In this context, intersectoriality is fundamental and favors health promotion.…”

“…A study with FHS professionals shows that health promotion for adolescents still presents in an incipient way, however, it is imperative that the health professionals' competence is conferred in order to deal with this target audience (6) .…”

“…In this strategy, health professionals can focus on the promotion, prevention and care triad, emphasizing basic care as a privileged space to perform educational and health promotion practices, observing the clientele ascribed and forming a link with the community (6) .…”
