Geoprocessamento das doenças com risco elevado para morbidade infanto - juvenil diagnosticadas em um Hospital Universitário.

Abstract

Environmental factors do not interfere in the health-disease process of children and adolescents, which increases child-juvenile morbidity, resulting in the need to create means for the identification of CRP of potential risks to the health of minors, with this, Geoprocessing stands out, reaffirming the importance of interdisciplinarity between geography and health disciplines. The objective of this study was to analyze the spatial distribution of diseases with high risk for morbidity and adolescent headaches in a university hospital by means of geoprocessing techniques. This is a documental, transversal, exploratory and descriptive study based on a quantitative approach carried out from September to December 2018 at the University Hospital Júlio Bandeira, with a population of 572 hospitalizations between October 2017 and September 2018 and a sample of 556 hospitalizations after use of the selection criteria. Data were collected through the data provided by the Application for management of University Hospitals and the analysis made through winplot of descriptive statistics by the EPI Info version 7.2.2.6 program, and in a geographic information environment, handling The alphanumeric records and graphical records in the QGIS software, after using the Join technique, the thematic maps received the application of Jenks Gaussian and were organized on two boards. The seasonality of the diseases was compared to the data provided by the Executive Agency for Water Management and National Institute of Meteorology. They were obeyed as resolutions 466/2012 and 510/2016 of the National Health Council. It is certified that the study is an excerpt from the research entitled "clinical-epidemiological profile and quality of care coverage in a university hospital" approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the university's Teacher training Center Federal of Campina Grande, under opinion n ° 2,672,468. The prevalence of hospitalizations of female children and adolescents, mixed color/race (self-declared) and age range from zero to four years was verified. Thematic maps demonstrated spatial distribution of diseases with high risk for regular (respiratory, infectious and genitourinary) morbidity in Cajazeiras and neighboring municipalities. Capoeiras, neighborhood of Cajazeiras, had the highest prevalence of diseases analyzed, context associated mainly to the accumulation and burning of garbage on public roads. It was also observed that the peaks of hospitalizations occurred in the post-rainy period, with relative air humidity and low temperatures. It is evident that the geoprocessing proved to be an essential tool for the analysis of the real situation and potential for illness in the infact-juvenile population, which favors the planning of CRP actions that are attended, especially by nursing, Emphasizing the need to instigate an epidemiological, critical-reflective look on the population and the environment where it lives, guided by intersectoral relations and interventions based on the individual, collective and environment. It is suggested that more research with this theme be performed to identify factors that interfere positively and marmosets in the health- disease process of children and adolescents.
