LEISHMANIOSE VISCERAL: análise do papel da enfermagem na prevenção e controle da doença em Imperatriz–MA

Abstract

RESUMO: A leishmaniose visceral é uma doença infecciosa grave e um importante problema de saúde pública, especialmente em áreas com vulnerabilidade social e condições ambientais favoráveis à transmissão. Nesse contexto, destaca-se a atuação da enfermagem na prevenção e no controle da doença, principalmente na Atenção Primária à Saúde. O presente estudo buscou analisar o papel da enfermagem na prevenção e controle da leishmaniose visceral no município de Imperatriz–MA. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, com abordagem qualitativa e caráter exploratório, baseada em artigos publicados entre 2021 e 2026 e em dados do DataSUS referentes ao período de 2016 a 2025. Os resultados evidenciam que a doença apresenta caráter endêmico no município, com ocorrência contínua e maior incidência em determinados grupos populacionais. Apesar da predominância de cura, a presença de óbitos reforça a importância do diagnóstico precoce e das ações preventivas. Conclui-se que a enfermagem desempenha papel fundamental na identificação de casos, na educação em saúde e no acompanhamento dos pacientes, contribuindo para o controle da doença. Destaca-se a necessidade de fortalecer as ações de prevenção e as políticas públicas de saúde. Palavras-chave: Leishmaniose visceral; Enfermagem; Prevenção; Saúde pública.

ABSTRACT: Visceral leishmaniasis is a serious infectious disease and an important public health problem, especially in areas with social vulnerability and environmental conditions favorable to transmission. In this context, the role of nursing in the prevention and control of the disease stands out, particularly in Primary Health Care. This study aimed to analyze the role of nursing in the prevention and control of visceral leishmaniasis in the municipality of Imperatriz– MA. It is a bibliographic and documentary research, with a qualitative and exploratory approach, based on articles published between 2021 and 2026 and on DataSUS data from 2016 to 2025. The results show that the disease has an endemic pattern in the municipality, with continuous occurrence and higher incidence in specific population groups. Although most cases evolve to cure, the presence of deaths reinforces the importance of early diagnosis and preventive actions. It is concluded that nursing plays a fundamental role in case identification, health education, and patient follow-up, contributing to disease control. The need to strengthen prevention actions and public health policies is highlighted. Keywords: Visceral leishmaniasis; Nursing; Prevention; Public health.
