How to integrate BIODANZA into the public health system in family health facilities (USF) for the population inside the facility and for the external population covered by the facility.
An 11-year journey that culminated in an official certification in emotional best practices and the creation of the Emotional Fitness Academy at Type B USF. The knowledge gained has proven to be even more important for maintaining emotional health during the fight against Covid-19.
In September 2019, the Portuguese Ministry of Health announced support for the implementation of projects dedicated to the humanization of care: emotional best practice programmes. Emotional good practices to and from USF for internal and external clients including BIODANZA is «a project to be replicated in other units»
The publication of Just News on November 1, 2021 "Humanizing care": a project to be replicated had the mission of sharing good practices, good ideas and projects of excellence developed in the field of primary health care, facilitating their replication on the SNS ( national health system in Portugal)
The Program of Good Emotional Practices developed including BIODANZA provides for annual renewal, with the following main objectives: “promote a more productive and efficient work environment; increase motivation and job satisfaction; for users and promote their health by offering other services as well
This experience "awakened the interest of USF across the country, which contacted us to find out HOW TO DEVELOP this project. The Emotional Fitness Academy was created, so that "When you talk about humanization, you emphasize that it is important not forget the main thing - the human, that the emotional best practice program aims, precisely, to put life at the center and allow the human being to have a more emotionally balanced and healthy personal and professional life, which translates into a improvement of the relationship with oneself, with others and with the world".
The data of this path will be present, the process of creating the space for BIODANZA in this program and the impact of the project will be presented. What was the path and how it led to the integration of BIODANZA. What was the added value of BIODANZA" satisfaction and positive impact on most of the employees and therefore on the decision to offer it also to the users of the department.
