by the axle of a boat motor

S
calping accidents among riverine women are due to the total or partial removal of the scalp through the axis of unprotected
boat engines, causing not only physical but also psychological damages, since hair loss may affect women's perception
of self-image, resulting in a possible depression. Primary care, through the Basic Health Units (BHU), is responsible for the
integral care of the enrolled population and must be prepared to receive cases of scalping. The study aimed to point out
the importance of the prevention performed in the BHU about Depression in the women victims of scalping by the axis
of the motors of unprotected vessels. The methodology adopted was a bibliographical review, with a qualitative approach,
using scientific articles found through the following keywords: "depression", "scalping" and "primary care", is obtained from
a database site such as SCIELO and LILACS. As a result it can be observed that the multi-professional work on Depression
prevention in scalped women in BHU is of paramount importance, since psychosocial prevention can offer the user adequate
support to achieve a cognitive restructuring about herself, the world and others, influencing self-esteem, self-concept, and
self-efficacy, which are variables that influence the affective-emotional state; besides giving social guidance to the family about
necessary care. The BHU should be attentive to local health problems and the reality of the population ascribed, offering
quality health services and a comprehensive view of its users because scalping accidents are not uncommon in the Amazon.
