Stroke Attention Journey: research, teaching and extension in the North Plateau of Santa Catarina.

Resumo

Stroke is the second most deadly disease in the world, however, with 80% of the causes considered preventable because they are modifiable factors and the time between the recognition of the signs and medical care is crucial for the chance of saving lives.
Having this, in a continuous way and permanent education, already in its second version (1st in 2019 and 2nd in 2021), the Stroke Attention Journey in the North Plateau of Santa Catarina has been carried out. Characterized by a partnership between a hospital institution, educational institution and private institutions providing health services. The objective of the actions linked to this journey is medical and health education, promoting the achievement of recognition at different levels of care focused on stroke risk factors and stroke patient care. For this, technical and professional lectures, courses and community actions were held in favor of knowledge about the risk factors for stroke, what is stroke, signs of a stroke, diagnosis and possible treatments and prognosis, as well as, how the post-stroke patient rehabilitation.
The actions were aimed at different age groups, from early childhood education to graduate studies. Professionals and academics from different areas made a great contribution, covering the modality of research, teaching and extension. For this, in raising awareness of the proposal, data from regional surveys were used, which show that patients with suspected and later confirmed stroke were mostly transferred to U-AVC by ambulances (65.9%), and only 25% is performed by SAMU. In addition, those who arrived outside the therapeutic window were justified due to the failure to identify the stroke by family members (34%) and delay during the regulation/transfer from the municipalities to the U-AVC (18%). In this scope, more than 5700 people were reached with a frequency computed directly, estimating a greater indirect reach. There are numerous reports and data that show the permeability of the proposal in the different target communities.
Continuing health education is the focus of different world organizations in favor of health promotion. This action shows the multi and inter-professional interaction, aimed at the different spheres of education and community. It is demonstrated here not only the scope of this action, but also the objectives behind it, as they bring direct benefits to the community and to the regional health market.
