Resumo
Introduction: The climacteric period is the transitional period between
reproductive and non-reproductive life in women. Clinical evaluation of
women during the climacteric period should be dictated by their health
situation and possible difficulties endemic to this time, and involve a cross functional team. Healthcare includes both promotion of health and disease
prevention. Objective: To evaluate the care provided to women during the
climacteric period by health professionals using the Family Health Strategy.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, exploratory study conducted among
university educated health professionals using the Family Health Strategy
(FHS) in the East Healthcare District of Goiania, Goias, Brazil. Data were
collected through a questionnaire. This data collection instrument was
previously assessed by experts and underwent pilot testing. All stages of the
study were developed in accordance with the guidelines and regulations of
Brazilian National Council on Health Resolution no. 466/2012. Data were
processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences using
descriptive statistics and presented in tables and figures. Results:
Participants included 57 (75.0%) university educated health professionals
who work in the FHS. Many of the healthcare professionals reported that
there are differences between the climacteric period and menopause, 57.9%
could define these two phases accurately. The main reason that leads
women in the climacteric period to seek care in the FHS is related to
difficulties with understanding the signs and symptoms of the climacteric
period, followed by questions related to new forms of hormone therapy.
Concern with physical appearance presents itself as a common complaint
during the climacteric period. Deficiencies and limitations in the qualifications
of healthcare professionals related to knowledge of the topic of the
climacteric period was the greatest difficulty. Cultural interference in the
treatment of women during this phase featured prominently in reports.
Conclusions: It is essential to create normative procedures and guidance
for healthcare related activities for women in climacteric, especially when it
comes to differences in the implementation of hormone replacement therapy.
This will bring benefit to the professionals in terms of greater autonomy and
safety in prescribing these and other types of treatment, ensuring
completeness in service, with resolutions in a shorter timeframe.
