Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Caracterizar os conhecimentos e as capacidades dos professores e educadores de infância do Externato Paulo VI e do Colégio D. Pedro V, em Braga, para gerirem situações de traumatismos dentários no contexto escolar. Concomitantemente, pretendeu-se perceber qual a importância da realização de ações de sensibilização para a promoção de conhecimentos destes profissionais nesta área específica.
Materiais e Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo observacional, analítico transversal com uma amostra de conveniência, constituída pelos professores e educadores de infância dos que lecionavam a crianças entre os três e os dez anos. O instrumento de avaliação consistiu num questionário, previamente validado, aplicado em dois momentos. No primeiro, foi aplicado o questionário e realizada uma ação de sensibilização. No segundo momento, após um mês, foi aplicado novamente o questionário. Os dados recolhidos foram analisados através do software estatístico IBM SPSSâ.
Resultados: Na amostra de 53 participantes foi verificado que os participantes já apresentavam um nível inicial satisfatório de conhecimentos nesta temática. Todavia, a realização da ação de sensibilização demonstrou resultados muito favoráveis na obtenção de conhecimentos adicionais, tendo sido verificadas diferenças significativas nas respostas entre sessões, no sentido do aumento de conhecimentos.
Conclusões: As ações de promoção de conhecimentos que contemplem a exemplificação de situações traumáticas reais, podem ser um método eficiente para a formação destes profissionais de educação. Neste conspecto, torna-se pertinente que os profissionais de educação e de saúde, embora em diferentes contextos de atuação, possam contribuir sinergicamente para um prognóstico mais favorável de um traumatismo dentário ocorrido no espaço escolar.
Objectives: Characterize the knowledge and skills of teachers and educators from Externato Paulo VI and Colégio D. Pedro V in Braga, in managing dental trauma situations, in the school environment. At the same time, it was intended to understand the importance of performing awareness-raising actions, in order to increase the training of teachers and educators on dental trauma situations. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, analytical, observational study was carried out with a convenience sample, made up of teachers and educators who taught children aged three to ten. The assessment instrument was a questionnaire, previously validated, applied in two moments. In the first moment, a questionnaire was applied and an awareness-raising action was performed. In the second moment, approximately a month later, the same questionnaire was applied again. The collected data were analysed using the statistical software IBM SPSSâ Results: The sample was consisted by 53 participants, and it was observed that the participants already posessed a satisfactory level of knowledge on this topic. However, the awareness action performed showed very favourable results, with significant differences in the responses between sessions, to increase in knowledge. Conclusions: Actions to promote knowledge that include the exemplification of real traumatic situations can be an efficient method for the training of these education professionals. In this regard, it is pertinent that education and health professionals, although in different contexts of action, can synergistically contribute to a more favourable prognosis of a dental trauma that occurs in the school environment.
