ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: to assess predictive factors for noncompletion of the hepatitis B vaccination schedule in female sex workers in the city of Teresina, Northeastern Brazil. Method: 402 women were interviewed and, for those who did not wish to visit specialized sites, or did not know their hepatitis B vaccination status, the vaccine was offered at their workplaces. Bi- and multivariate analyses were performed to identify potential predictors for noncompletion of the vaccination schedule. Results: of the 284 women eligible for vaccination, 258 (90.8%) received the second dose, 157/258 (60.8%) and 68/258 (26.3%) received the second and third doses, respectively. Working at clubs and consuming illicit drugs were predictors for noncompletion of the vaccination schedule. Conclusion: the high acceptability of the vaccine's first dose, associated with low completion rates of the vaccination schedule in sex workers, shows the need for more persuasive strategies that go beyond offering the vaccine at their workplaces.


RESUMEN Objetivo: Evaluar factores predictores del no completamiento del esquema de vacunación contra la hepatitis B en mujeres que se prostituyen en Teresina, noreste de Brasil. Método: Fueron entrevistadas 402 mujeres. Para las que se negaron a ir a lugares especializados o desconocían su situación de vacunación contra la hepatitis B, la vacuna fue ofrecida en lugar de trabajo. Fueron efectuados análisis multivariados para identificar potenciales predictores del no completamiento del esquema de vacunación. Resultados: de las 284 mujeres elegibles para vacunación, 258 (90,8%) recibieron primera dosis, 157/258 (60,8%) y 68/258 (26,3%) recibieron segunda y tercera dosis. Trabajar en burdeles y consumir drogas fueron factores predictores de no completamiento del esquema (p<0,05). Conclusión: La elevada aceptación de la primera dosis, asociada al bajo completamiento del esquema de vacunación en profesionales del sexo, evidencia necesidad de una estrategia más persuasiva, más allá de la oferta de vacunación en el lugar de trabajo.


RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar fatores preditores de não completude do esquema vacinal contra hepatite B em mulheres que se prostituem em Teresina, Nordeste do Brasil. Método: Um total de 402 mulheres foi entrevistado e, para as que se negaram a irem a lugares especializados, ou desconheciam sua situação vacinal contra hepatite B, a vacina foi oferecida no local do trabalho. Análises bi e multivariadas foram realizadas para identificar potenciais preditores de não completude do esquema vacinal. Resultados: Das 284 mulheres elegíveis para vacinação, 258 (90,8%) receberam a primeira dose, 157/258 (60,8%) e 68/258 (26,3%) receberam a segunda e terceira doses. Trabalhar em boates e consumir drogas ilícitas foram preditores de não completude do esquema vacinal (p<0,05). Conclusão: A elevada aceitabilidade da primeira dose da vacina, associada à baixa completude do esquema vacinal em profissionais do sexo, evidencia a necessidade de estratégia mais persuasiva que vá além da oferta da vacina no local de trabalho.

ABSTRACT

El virus de la hepatitis B (VHB), es un virus DNA, el cual tiene varios antígenos, como el antígeno de superficie, y antígeno core. Colombia, es un país de baja endemicidad, sin embargo, en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, está endemicidad es alta. El VHB tiene como una de sus complicaciones la hipertensión porta. En general, el VHB no atraviesa la placenta, por lo que la infección es rara in utero. Son pocos los pacientes que se presentan con HB y falla hepática fulminante y por lo tanto, son pocos los antivirales que han sido utilizados, con muy poca experiencia.
