ABSTRACT

Objetivo: verificar o conhecimento dos agentes comunitários de saúde (ACS) sobre as disfunções temporomandibulares (DTMs) no município de Sobral, Ceará. Materiais e Método: trata-se de uma pesquisa observacional transversal, quantitativa, realizada entre janeiro e março de 2014. Foram avaliados 158 ACS que responderam um questionário composto por 10 questões sociodemográficas e 16 perguntas relacionadas ao conhecimento sobre DTMs. A análise estatística foi realizada no Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 17.0, por meio dos testes Qui-Quadrado e Exato de Fisher, com significância de 5%. Resultados: observou-se que 73,4% dos ACS desconhecem as DTMs e 83,5% nunca receberam ensinamento sobre o tema. Dos ACS que tinham recebido ensinamento, 100% identificaram alguma possível causa de DTMs; dos que tinham ensino médio completo, 33,6% identificaram pelo menos um sintoma de DTMs. Conclusão: os ACS com maior grau de instrução e que receberam capacitação prévia são os que mais conhecem e, consequentemente, melhor identificam causas e consequências das DTMs, orientando o paciente adequadamente. Evidencia-se, portanto, o desconhecimento desses agentes sobre as DTMs, justificando-se a necessidade de realizar capacitações com esses indivíduos, para que tenham um maior conhecimento sobre o assunto e possam orientar corretamente a população.

Aim: the aim of the article is to verify the knowledge of the CHW on Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) in the city of Sobral, Ceará. Materials and Methods: the present study is a cross-sectional, observational, quantitative study conducted between January and March 2014. We evaluated 158 CHW who answered a questionnaire composed of 10 questions about sociodemographic characteristics, and 16 questions related to their knowledge about TMD. Statistical analysis was performed in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), version 17.0, using chi-square tests and Fisher's exact test, with significance of 5%. Results: it was observed that 73.4% of CHW were unaware of TMD and that 83.5% never received any teaching on the subject. Among the CHW who had received instruction, 100% identified some possible causes of TMD, and 33.6% identified at least one symptom of the disease. Conclusion: therefore, the more educated CHW s who received prior training are the ones who know the most and, consequently, better identify the causes and consequences of TMD by orienting the patient appropriately. Therefore, it is evident that the CHW does not know about the TMD, justifying the need to carry out training workshops with the CHW, so that they have a better knowledge about TMD and can guide the population correctly.
