O perfil dos cuidadores de crianças com a síndrome congênita do zika vírus no estado de Pernambuco: um estudo de caso no CERVAC

Abstract

The Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome is a disease that has no cure, characterized by inducing a neurological malformation that causes the head circumference of the newborn measurements ≤ 32 cm. Its main form of transmission is by the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, whose reproduction depends on the poor housing conditions and sanitation. With these means, this study points out which part of society is more affected than others. That's why this research aims to trace the socioeconomic profile of caregivers of children with microcephaly by Zika virus in Pernambuco, represented by a sample taken from CERVAC. The data was collected from 11 users of the institution of a total of 13. The research was done at this center because of the ease of access to information due to resistance from the government and mothers. Because there are other centers of greater breadth and larger numbers of users. Even so, this study has its value due to the participation of the researcher together with the users throughout the treatment offered by the center.
