Educação Permanente em Saúde: Uma Abordagem Interprofissional pelo Programa PET-Saúde/UFMS

Abstract

This is a compilation that discusses the experiences of extension activities within the Work-Education Program for Health (WEP-Health) at the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (FUMS) in Campo Grande, MS. The program aims to enhance the efficiency of the Unified Health System (UHS) through tutorial learning in key areas, particularly Primary Health Care (PHC), operating within the University-Community-User framework. The work details the activities undertaken during the first semester of 2023 at the Family Health Unit Dr. Judson Tadeu Ribas (located in the Moreninha neighborhood). The primary focus is on Permanent Education and Health Promotion practices for Community Health Agents (CHAs). The objective is to broaden knowledge through interprofessional collaboration in the field of health. The activities encompass various subjects, including Diabetes Mellitus, Hearing Impairment, Down Syndrome, Mental Disorders, and Autism Spectrum Disorder. Additionally, the work explores the perspectives of WEP-Health undergraduate students concerning these activities. It's important to note that the information presented in this ebook goes beyond the scope of the assisted community. It serves to expand health-related knowledge, benefiting a range of PHC professionals, managers, the academic community, and the general public. This, in turn, contributes to the reinforcement of UHS throughout the entire national territory.
