Group Of Promotion To Women's Health In The Climate / Menopause

Experience Report.

Abstract

Historically, women's health care has been limited to the demands of pregnancy and childbirth. The current National Policy for Integral Attention to Women's Health reinforces the importance of looking at women in the menopause / climacteric phase. The objective of this work was to describe the experience of a group of health promotion of women, carried out by Nursing undergraduates, in a basic health unit of the municipality in the interior of the state of São Paulo. This was a descriptive study, of the type of experience report, from the work performed with a group of women in the climacteric / menopause phase. The group consisted of approximately seven women between the ages of 40 and 70. Because it is a collective activity, the sharing and exchange of information, as well as experiences, experiences and suffering have made it easier for women to incorporate learning that influences behavior changes and has positive effects on self-esteem.
