Objetivos: Avaliar o conhecimento sobre saúde oral dos enfermeiros que prestam cuidados nos serviços de internamento do Hospital Pedro Hispano e descrever as práticas de cuidados de saúde oral prestadas pelos enfermeiros aos doentes internados no Hospital Pedro Hispano.
Métodos: Estudo transversal, exploratório-descritivo, de natureza quantitativa, baseado numa amostra não probabilística por conveniência, constituída por enfermeiros que prestam cuidados diretos e permanentes a doentes internados no Hospital Pedro Hispano. O instrumento de recolha de dados foi elaborado com fundamento num inquérito previamente validado e aplicado via e-mail através da plataforma Google Forms, entre Novembro de 2022 e Fevereiro de 2023. Para a análise estatística recorreu-se ao programa IBM® SPSS® Statistics v.29. Resultados: A amostra foi constituída por 92 enfermeiros, com idades compreendidas entre os 24 e os 60 anos, sendo que 87% eram do sexo feminino. Relativamente aos conhecimentos em saúde oral, 50% dos enfermeiros classificam-nos como bons e 40,2% como razoáveis, apesar de 79,3% afirmarem não terem tido formação específica em cuidados de saúde oral. A maioria dos participantes assumem a realização da higiene oral como sendo da sua competência. No entanto, apenas 12% dos enfermeiros afirmam sempre escovar os dentes, a boca e a prótese dentária aos doentes, após a última refeição. Conclusão: Os enfermeiros, embora sem formação específica em saúde oral, demonstram razoáveis conhecimentos sobre cuidados de saúde oral e sobre as práticas de higiene oral, apesar da inexistência ou falta de conhecimento da existência de um protocolo de atuação no Hospital Pedro Hispano. Recomenda-se a implementação de protocolos orientadores das práticas de higiene oral e a integração de médicos dentistas nas unidades hospitalares, com o intuito de promover a melhoria na qualidade dos cuidados prestados ao doente internado.

About oral health knowledge, 50% of the nurses classified it as Good and 40.2% as Fair, although 79.3% stated that they had not had specific training in oral health care. Most of the participants assume the performance of the hygiene oral as being within their competence. However, only 12% of nurses claim to always brush teeth, mouth and dental prosthesis for patients after their last meal. Conclusion: Nurses, although without specific training in oral health, demonstrate reasonable knowledge about oral health care and about oral hygiene practices, despite the inexistence or lack of knowledge of the existence of an action protocol in the Hospital Pedro Hispano. It is recommended the implementation of protocols guiding oral hygiene practices and the integration of dentists in hospital units, with the aim of promoting an improvement in the quality of care provided to hospitalized patients.
