Abstract

This is a transversal study, developed between women of the Anhanguera community, with the objectives of knowing the demographic, sociocultural, gynecological and obstetric profile and of assessing health preventive behaviors in order to elaborate a plan of obstetric nursing assistance. The research tool was a form applied at home during visits to 104 women. Our results showed that 23,08% did not know about cancer prevention, 50,00% never performed it, 77,88% presented gynecological complaints but, 62,96% of these never looked for health services. Based on nursing diagnoses a plan of nursing care and health education was elaborated for the women from this community.
