Abstract(s)
O presente trabalho foi realizado no âmbito da unidade curricular de Integração à Vida Profissional, inserida no 2º Semestre do 4º Ano, e constitui um requisito para a conclusão da Licenciatura em Enfermagem na Universidade Fernando Pessoa, sendo o tema de estudo: "Conhecimento da População sobre doenças Cerebrovasculares (O caso dos AVCs)".
O acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) é uma lesão do cérebro que ocorre devido a uma interrupção do fornecimento de sangue a este órgão, constituindo a principal causa de morte e de incapacidade permanente em Portugal.
As doenças cerebrovasculares constituem a causa de morte mais relevante em toda a Europa (OMS, 2013). A cada meia hora, uma pessoa vítima de AVC dá entrada num hospital português, sendo a doença que mais mata em Portugal (DGS, 2013).
Em 2012, 50% dos doentes internados por AVC tiveram acesso a unidades especializadas, traduzindo-se em vantagens não só na redução da mortalidade cerebrovascular, mas também na limitação das sequelas mentais e motoras, muitas vezes devastadoras a nível pessoal e familiar (DGS, 2013). Este estudo transversal foi conduzido na cidade do Porto entre junho e outubro de 2017.
The present work was carried out within the scope of the Integrating to Professional Life course, inserted in the 2nd Semester of the 4th Year, and is a requirement for the conclusion of the Nursing Degree at the Fernando Pessoa University. The subject of study is: "Knowledge of the Population on Cerebrovascular Diseases (The Case of CVA)." Stroke (stroke) is a brain injury that occurs due to an interruption of the blood supply to this organ, being the main cause of death and permanent disability in Portugal. Cardiovascular diseases are the most important cause of death in Europe (WHO, 2014). Every half hour, a person suffering from stroke is admitted to a Portuguese hospital, the disease that kills the most in Portugal (DGS, 2013). In 2012, 50% of patients hospitalized for stroke had access to specialized units, which translated into advantages not only in reducing cerebrovascular mortality but also in limiting the often-devastating mental and motor sequelae (DGS, 2013). This transversal study was carried out in the city of Porto between June and October 2017.
