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.
