Produção científica acerca do aconselhamento pré e pós teste rápido para infecções sexualmente transmissíveis na atenção primária à saúde

Abstract

INTRODUCTION - Since the Federal Constitution of 1988, the Unified Health System (SUS) emerges as a Public Policy, which seeks to meet the population's health demands. Primary Health Care (PHC) is the first level of health care and is characterized by a set of health actions, at individual and collective levels, thus, a place of care for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI's) (BRASIL, 2012a; BRASIL, 2017a). SUS provides quick tests whose execution, reading and interpretation of results are made in a maximum of 30 minutes (BRASIL, 2010a; LIMA et al., 2020). Counseling is a tool that is characterized as a process based on active listening, through the establishment of a relationship of trust and bond between professional and user, providing the client with conditions to recognize himself as an agent and autonomous of his health condition (BRASIL, 2013a; ROCHA et al., 2018). Due to the recent implementation of rapid testing and counseling in AB, there is little research that explores this scenario. It is necessary to sensitize health professionals so that they recognize counseling as a user care strategy (SILVA; SILVA; FERREIRA, 2017). In this context, the guiding question of the research will be: what has been published about counseling before and after the Rapid Test for STIs in Primary Care? OBJECTIVE: To analyze the evidence available in the literature on pre- and post-quick test counseling for STIs in Primary Care. METHOD: This is a narrative review of the literature. The studies were accessed in electronic databases. The identified articles were exported to an Excel spreadsheet for mapping and extracting the data obtained. RESULTS/DISCUSSION: professionals consider counseling as a strategy that plays a significant role in the prevention and control of STI's, in addition, it promotes a closer relationship between user and caregiver, favoring a relationship of communication and trust, but there are still limitations in the Counseling process related to inadequate structure, work overload and lack of professional qualification, this hinders their adherence, especially in basic units. CONCLUSION: There is a need for further research, especially focused on clinical care practice on how Counseling has been done within AB units and not just in reference centers specialized in screening patients with STIs.
