Vulnerabilidade a desastres naturais : implicações para a enfermagem

Abstract

La creciente ocurrencia de desastres naturales en la contemporaneidad y el aumento de su intensidad y gravedad plantean el reto, para gestores, profesionales y población, de estar preparados para hacer frente a ellos, teniendo en cuenta las medidas que se deben tomar con respecto a la vulnerabilidad. Organizaciones internacionales señalan la necesidad de una mayor conciencia de la importancia de reducir los desastres, a fin de volver las comunidades resistentes al riesgo natural. Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar una reflexión acerca de las implicaciones para la enfermería, basada en los tipos de vulnerabilidad. La situación de desastre moviliza diversos actores, representantes de la sociedad civil organizada, los servicios de salud, que desempeñan un papel importante en la prevención, preparación, respuesta y reconstrucción. Esas situaciones han repercutido a nivel internacional, debido a la difusión de informaciones sobre la vulnerabilidad de las víctimas. Para el enfrentamiento de estos problemas, presentamos las implicaciones para la enfermería en estos escenarios, ya que estos profesionales constituyen los recursos humanos en el campo de la salud en cualquier nivel de atención. Su actuación debe ser observada tanto en la preparación y la respuesta ante una situación de desastre, lo que exige una atención inmediata, eficaz y de buena calidad, a fin de minimizar los riesgos a las víctimas.

A crescente ocorrência de desastres naturais na contemporaneidade e o aumento de sua intensidade e gravidade colocam o desafio, para gestores, profissionais e população, do preparo para enfrentá-los, considerando as medidas que devem ser tomadas em relação a vulnerabilidade. Organizações internacionais indicam a necessidade de maior consciência da importância da redução de desastres, a fim de tornar as comunidades resilientes ao risco natural. Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma reflexão sobre as implicações para a enfermagem, baseada nos tipos de vulnerabilidade. A situação de desastre mobiliza vários atores, representantes da sociedade civil organizada, serviços de saúde, os quais desempenham papel relevante na prevenção, preparo, resposta e reconstrução. Essas situações têm repercutido internacionalmente, devido à disseminação de informações a respeito da vulnerabilidade das vítimas. Para o enfrentamento dessas problemáticas, apresentamos as implicações para a enfermagem nesses cenários, visto que esses profissionais compõem os recursos humanos da área da saúde em qualquer nível de atenção. Sua atuação deve dar-se tanto no preparo como na resposta à situação de desastre, que demanda atendimento imediato, eficaz e de qualidade, a fim de minimizar o risco às vítimas.

The increasing occurrence of natural disasters in contemporary times and their increased intensity and severity bring the challenge, for managers, professionals, and the population, to be prepared for facing them, considering the measures that must be taken regarding vulnerability. International organizations point out the need for greater awareness of the importance to reduce disasters, in order to make communities resilient to natural hazards. This article aims to present a reflection on the implications for nursing, based on the types of vulnerability. The disaster situation mobilizes various actors, representatives of the organized civil society, health services, which play a significant role in prevention, preparation, response, and reconstruction. These situations have reverberated internationally, due to the dissemination of information regarding the vulnerability of victims. To face these problems, we introduce the implications for nursing in these scenarios, since these professionals make up the human resources in the health care field at any level of care. Their work must be observed both in the preparation and response to a disaster situation, which demands immediate, effective, and good quality attention, in order to minimize risk to victims.
