Construção de álbum seriado para o rastreio do diabetes gestacional na atenção primária à saúde

Abstract

Objective: to create a serial album about gestational diabetes screening in primary health care. Method: this is a descriptive methodological study conducted in two stages: a literature review and the creation of a serial album, based on the stages of Robert Gagné's Learning Theory. Data were collected by associating the following descriptors: Gestational diabetes; Diagnosis; Primary Health Care, obtained from the Health Sciences Descriptors/Medical Subject Headings - DECS/MESH. Scientific productions were selected based on eligibility criteria and the guiding question: “What are the strategies for screening gestational diabetes in primary health care?” The compilation of data obtained in the literature review provided scientific support for the creation of the serial album. The author created a preliminary presentation in PowerPoint and subsequently hired a professional with experience in design to create the illustrations, layout, and structure the texts and sentences contained in the material. Results: Ten scientific papers were selected to prepare the product, one of which was related to educational technologies, one related to Gagné's theoretical framework, and eight about diabetes. These papers were published between 2015 and 2024. The flipchart was titled: “Screening for gestational diabetes in primary health care,” and is divided into parts: cover, general presentation, content presentation, technical sheet, and references. The content of the flipchart is presented by two nurses who discuss their doubts and concerns in their professional routine. The dialogue was conducted within the daily work routine of primary health care and in an environment dedicated to the study. Concepts, classifications, epidemiology, pathophysiological mechanisms, consequences for the mother-fetal binomial, screening, and diagnosis of gestational diabetes were addressed. Conclusion: technologies have been widely used in various settings, especially in health and education. Teaching strategies that seek to establish greater interaction have been encouraged, since it is believed that the content covered will be better understood. To this end, the flipchart presented was prepared with a view to providing tools for nurses working in primary care; however, it can be used by other health professionals, as well as in other care settings.
