Abstract

ABSTRACT

The objective of this descriptive and exploratory study was to identify the health care actions aimed at women within the age group of 45 to 60 years in a family health unit (FHU). Data collection took place between January and August of 2011, when 16 interviews were performed with workers of the health team. Results show that this population is basically seen when arriving at the unit spontaneously. The other workers recognize it would be important to organize health promotion actions, but that is not always possible due to the number of daily activities. In conclusion, the unit does not offer any specific actions aimed at this population. The FHU focuses its program on the priorities established by the Family Health Strategy (FHS), which are the hypertensives, diabetics, pregnant women, children and the elderly.
