RESUMO
O atendimento a pacientes com necessidades especiais (PNE) na Odontologia exige uma abordagem diferenciada. São relatadas dificuldades desta população em conseguir atendimento, principalmente no serviço público. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a percepção e as atitudes dos cirurgiõesdentistas (CD) da rede municipal de saúde de Pelotas/RS no atendimento a PNE. Participaram 47 profissionais de Unidades Básicas de Saúde que responderam a um questionário sobre rotina profissional, tempo de formado, qualificação profissional, experiência, atitudes e dificuldades no atendimento de PNE. Foi realizada análise descritiva e o Teste Exato de Fisher para avaliar associação entre as características do CD, sua percepção, experiências e atitudes frente ao atendimento. A maioria (93,6%) dos CDs relatou atender PNE e a dificuldade mais relatada foi a falta de auxiliar (58,5%). Houve uma melhor percepção em relação ao atendimento ao PNE ente aqueles CD que fazem parte da equipe da Estratégia Saúde da Família, com menos tempo de formado e que se dedicam integralmente ao setor público. Conclui-se que, apesar da maioria dos CD relatarem prestar atendimento odontológico ao PNE, diversas dificuldades foram apontadas, sendo a principal a falta de auxiliar (AU).
ABSTRACT
The care of special needs patients (SNP) in Dentistry requires a different approach. This population reports difficulties in getting care, especially, at the public service. The aim of this study was to investigate the perception and attitudes of the dentists that work on Public Health Care Centers (PHC)in the city of Pelotas on the care of SNP. A total of 47 professionals from the PHC participated in this research and they answered a questionnaire about their professional routine, time since graduation, professional qualification and experience, attitudes and difficulties related to the care of SNP. Descriptive analysis and Fisher's Exact Test were performed to assess the association between the characteristics of the dentists, their perception, experiences and attitudes towards care. Most dentists (93,6%) reported that they attend patients with special needs and their most difficulty was the lack of a dental assistant to help them (58,5%). There was a better perception regarding the care of SNP among those dentists that are involved in the Family Health Strategy team, with less time since graduation and that are fully dedicated to the public service. We concluded that, although most dentists reported that they attend those SNP, there are several difficulties and the most one is the lack of help (AU).
