Promoção da saúde em trabalhadores rurais na estratégia de saúde da família

Abstract

This dissertation deals with discussing a public health intervention project with rural family agriculture workers in the municipality of Cabeceiras, in the State of Goiás. With the objective of facing the occupational health problems that affect these workers. To this end, the methodology starts from a qualitative research, operating from a theoretical framework based on the works of Mário Testa on strategic planning in health, seeking to overcome existing problems in the conventional way in which health programs tend to face different themes, a reductionist way that disregards that health and disease is, above all, an intrinsically social phenomenon. This theoretical substrate is linked to an empirical substrate collected from the author's clinical experience, who works as a doctor in primary care in the region and in occupational medicine, in addition to data collected in government databases on rural workers' health. Its product was the formulation of a Workers' Health Surveillance Program - PVST, which is a tool for managing the health of family farming workers. And the creation of a booklet with the purpose of actually improving knowledge, self-care and adherence to certain health and safety procedures by the population.
