Educational nursing action in primary care for the prevention and control of breast cancer: experience with the Scrum Method

Abstract

Objective: To report the experience of nursing students in carrying out educational actions in primary care focused on breast cancer prevention at a Regional Polyclinic, based on the Scrum method. Experience report: On National Breast Cancer Awareness Day, the students had the opportunity to organize, execute, and present educational resources to work with the population on raising awareness about this type of cancer, its signs and symptoms, how to seek diagnosis, and the main prevention measures.  Final considerations: Primary care is the appropriate setting to implement these strategies and clarify doubts, as it serves as the entry point for the population. Health education efforts on breast cancer in primary care are essential for citizens to identify signs of cancer early, when necessary, for timely treatment. Additionally, they help promote understanding of proper habits to prevent the disease. The organization using the Scrum method enabled agile management of the educational processes, resulting in positive feedback from the target audience.
