Impacto das ações de promoção de saúde em indivíduos com sobrepeso/obesidade

Obesity is a multifactorial pathology that requires comprehensive care. Thus, the general objective was to analyze the results of health promotion actions, with an interdisciplinary approach to overweight / obese patients. This research was an exploratory study, with clinical-qualitative methodology in a health promotion group of 33 participants. Participants should be diagnosed as being overweight or obese, with ages ranging from 23 to 84 years of age, excluding eutrophic adults, adolescents and pregnant women. The meetings took place at the Center for General Psychosocial Care. The data collection was by semi-structured interview, and later subject to content analysis. It was observed that motivation, awareness of better eating habits, the need to share learning, as well as the strengthening of ties, were present. In this way, it is necessary to intensify actions of health promotion, aiming at intersectoriality and interdisciplinarity, complementing in a collective way the care.
