- Abstract
The primany health care in Brazil, faces challenges in relation to Chagas disease due to the high number of chronic carriers in Brazil. Nurses and nursing assistants / technicians are professionals who provide care and referrals to patients in Basic Health Units. The objective of this study was to analyze the perception of the nursing team about Chagas disease and related health services in the municipalities of the micro health region. Itaúna, Minas Gerais. Semi-structured questionnaires were applied to nursing professionals. Professionals master aspects related to vectors, symptoms, diagnostic tests and flow of tests. There is an absence of health promotion actions aimed at disease, problems in tracking patients in Primary Health Care, and an absence of training for professionals addressing the clinical management of the disease. It is suggested to carry out training with a technical/clinical focus on the nursing team, and to implement health promotion actions in the municipalities.
