Problematizando a aderência ao tratamento da sífilis no pré-natal : perspectivas dos profissionais de saúde e das gestantes.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to identify the aspects involved in adherence to the treatment of pregnant women diagnosed with syphilis. It is a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research. The subjects were pregnant and professionals of a Basic Health Unit (BHU) of Santa Cruz do Sul - RS. The data collection was from a semi-structured interview. The analysis was carried out from idea association maps. The results indicate: there is still a lack of knowledge about the disease, even with prenatal care. There is a need to use popular terms during the guidelines. It is a consensus that adherence to treatment occurs due to concern for the child's well-being. There are difficulties in adhesion by the partner. The results show that the nurse plays an important role in the approach to syphilis for treatment sensitization and adherence, and in the continuing education of the team due to the need for training for assistance.
