Nurse's team role in the street clinic: primary health care for the homeless population
| Resumo: | Abstract Introduction: The nurse in the Street Clinic team plays a fundamental role in understanding needs, reducing barriers to access and increasing the use of health services by this population, through integrated and humanised care, taking into account specificities and promoting effective inclusion in the health system. Objective: Identify the fundamental role of the nursing team in providing primary health care to the homeless population. Methodology: This is a documentary, quantitative, descriptive, and exploratory analysis research. The sample for this study consisted of 244 medical records of patients served by the Street Clinic. Results: Of the 244 medical records analysed, 69 were exclusively for social assistance and 175 were for health care. It was therefore possible to identify the main activities carried out, with 22.55% (n=55) being immunisation actions; 59% (n=104) rapid tests; and highlighting the ordering of laboratory tests with 4.51% (n=11), a private activity of nursing, exposing the essential presence of their qualification to carry out private tests. Conclusion: It is concluded that health promotion and prevention actions are the most commonly performed by the Suzano Street Clinic team, allowing an analysis of the current format of care provision, an understanding of priority primary care actions for improving service delivery, and emphasizing the nurse's role as a team leader. |
