Operacionalização do Sistema de Vigilância Alimentar e Nutricional (SISVAN) no município de Balneário Piçarras: relato de experiência

Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of training Family Health Strategy (Estrategia Saude da Familia – ESF) professionals in the city of Balneario Picarras, Santa Catarina, as a strategy to operationalize SISVAN. Data synthesis: Participants were 67 professionals from the 7 ESF teams working in the municipality from April to September 2016. Two meetings were held: one for the identification of the difficulties in implementing the system (such as: multiple activities, lack of printed forms, and the poor conditions of anthropometric scales) and initiation of the training (addressing the importance of SISVAN); and the other to teach how to complete the forms and insert the data into the software. Conclusion: After all, the professionals became interested in activating SISVAN. The participants also reported the importance of including nutrition professionals in the ESF teams to collaborate in the activities related to food and nutrition education and in the provision of guidelines and interventions based on the food and nutritional situation of the population. After the training was completed, there was a more efficient data logging into SISVAN by some teams.
