Importance of the use of cartography for residents of psychology in Quilombola communities
Carla Izabel Morais Madeira
Federal University of Amapa, Brazil
C
artography is an instrument used in health in order to understand the process of the state of health of a given territory,
indicating a procedure of analysis for the constant transformations and movements of a community. The importance of
the use of this instrument for Residents of Psychology would be to know in a comprehensive way the health population served,
especially when this community is quilombola, presenting different characteristics and difficulties. In this sense, the objective
was to present an experience report about the importance of the use of cartography in the practice of Residents of Psychology
in a quilombola community, Curiau, located in the city of Macapa-AP / Brazil. Thus, a bibliographic review was carried out
using the keywords "Cartography", "Primary attention" and "Quilombola community" in a database site of Scielo and Bireme;
after that, an interview with the Community Health Agents about the community and on-site visits was carried out. The
construction of the cartography resulted in an understanding of the health-disease situation of the population enrolled in the
Basic Health Unit, and it is possible to reflect more about the reasons for the low demand for the Psychology services, allowing
to think about new strategies to combat the low demand in the services. In this way, cartography facilitated the comprehension
of the behaviors and beliefs that the community possessed, offering a complete and dynamic understanding, since, in each
territory crossed by the residents of psychology, the behaviors and beliefs of the community change in the same health demand.
