Formation of multiplier educators for surveillance and zoonoses prevention in a medium city in brazil: from the analysis of health needs to the practical application of results
Keywords:
health education, zoonoses, public health surveillanceAbstract
The susceptibility of children to zoonoses highlights the importance of health education
actions for them. In order to promote a differentiated experience to prevent such diseases, a
partnership was established between the Departments of Health and Education of Resende
municipality, Rio de Janeiro state. A research of regional thematic health needs was done
through the analysis of data provided by the Ministry of Health and by the State Health
Department and a course was prepared and made available to public school educators who
spontaneously showed great participation and interest. The subjects selected to the approach
were the responsible pet animal guardianship and the following zoonoses: rabies, visceral
leishmaniasis, leptospirosis, the Brazilian spotted fever, Lyme disease and dengue. Booklets
for children and youth were prepared as background material for the work of the trained
teachers. During the experience, the participants were able to learn and discuss the proposed
themes, answer their questions and demystify health information. Therefore, we present a
positive experience with regard to education activities and prevention of zoonoses within the
Brazilian Unified Health System in this municipality.
