Resumo: | Objective: to identify the factors associated with the stigma of leprosy, manifested in guidance regarding the separation of objects in family life, by community health workers in Palmas, Tocantins, Brazil. Methods: quantitative cross-sectional study carried out in Basic Health Units in Palmas in a population of 301 community health workers, using a self-administered questionnaire. Results: of the 301CHWs, 22.92% guided people at home regarding the separation of personal objects, such as cutlery, glasses, plates, towels, bed linen, clothing and bedroom isolation. Guidance to separate objects for personal use was significantly higher for male community health workers (PR: 1.89; CI:1.25-2.87), younger (PR:1.90; CI:1.14- 3.17), with less time living in Palmas (RP: 2.06; CI: 1.253.40), with the location of the Basic Health Units outside the master plan (PR: 1.75; CI: 1.11- 2.76 ), who had not taken a leprosy course (PR:3.03; CI: 2.01-4.58), who had never followed up cases (PR:3.82; CI: 2.02-7.22) and who did not have a familymember affected by leprosy (PR:1.96; CI: 1.10-3.47). Conclusion: the high prevalence of community health workers who have leprosy stigma represents a barrier in disease control actions. It was observed that the chances of stigma occurrence were higher in young, male community health agents, without training on leprosy and with a workplace in the peripheral regions of the city. Factors tobe considered by the local control program with the adoption of Permanent Health Education. Investments in courses aimed at leprosy can contribute to reducing ignorance about the disease, as cultural aspects and generational beliefs influence the maintenance of concepts and social stigma. |

Métodos: estudio transversal cuantitativo realizado en Unidades Básicas de Salud de Palmas en una población de 301 agentes comunitarios de salud, mediante cuestionario autoadministrado. Resultados: de los 301 agentes comunitarios de salud, el 22,92% orientaba a las personas en el hogar respecto a la separación de objetos personales, como cubiertos, vasos, platos, toallas, ropa de cama, ropa yaislamiento de dormitorios. La orientación para separar objetos de uso personal fue significativamente mayor para los agentes comunitarios de salud masculinos (RP: 1,89; IC: 1,25-2,87), más jóvenes (RP: 1,90; IC: 1,14-3,17), con menortiempo viviendo en Palmas (RP: 2,06; IC : 1.253.40), con ubicación de la Unidades Basicas de Salud fuera del plan maestro (PR: 1.75; IC: 1.11-2.76), que no había realizado curso de lepra (PR:3.03; IC: 2.01-4.58), que nunca había casos en seguimiento (PR:3.82; IC: 2.02-7.22) y que no tenían familiar afecto de lepra (PR:1.96; IC: 1.10-3.47). Conclusión: la alta prevalencia de agentes comunitarios de salud que tienen el estigma de la lepra representa una barrera en las acciones de control de la enfermedad. Se observó que las posibilidades de ocurrencia del estigma eran mayores en agentes comunitarios de salud jóvenes, del sexo masculino, sin formación en lepra y con actuación en las regiones periféricas del municipio. Factores a considerar por el programa de control local con la adopción de la Educación Permanente en Salud. Educación en Salud.Las inversiones en cursos dirigidos a la lepra pueden contribuir a reducir el desconocimiento sobre la enfermedad, ya que aspectos culturales y creencias generacionales influyen en el mantenimiento de conceptos y estigmas sociales.Objetivo: identificar os fatores associados ao estigma da hanseníase, manifestado na orientação quanto à separação de objetos no convívio familiar pelos agentes comunitários de saúde de Palmas, Tocantins, Brasil. Métodos: estudo transversal do tipo quantitativo realizado nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde de Palmas em uma população de 301 agentes comunitários de saúde, por meio de um questionário autoaplicável. Resultados: dos 301 agentes comunitários de saúde, 22,92% orientaram as pessoas no domicílio quanto à separação de objetos de uso pessoal, tais como talheres, copos, pratos, toalhas, roupa de cama, vestimentas e isolamento de dormitório. A orientação para separar objetos de uso pessoal foi significativamente maior para os agentes comunitários de saúde do sexo masculino (RP: 1,89; IC: 1,25-2,87), mais jovens (RP: 1,90; IC: 1,14-3,17), com menor tempo de moradia em Palmas (RP: 2,06; IC: 1,253,40), com localização da Unidade Básica de Saúde fora do plano diretor (RP: 1,75; IC: 1,11-2,76), que não fizeram curso em hanseníase (RP: 3,03; IC: 2,01-4,58), que nunca fizeram acompanhamento de casos (RP: 3,82; IC: 2,02-7,22) e que não teve um familiar acometido por hanseníase (RP: 1,96; IC: 1,10-3,47). Conclusão: a elevada prevalência de agentes comunitários de saúde que apresentam estigma da hanseníase representa uma barreira nas ações de controle da doença. Observou-se que as chances de ocorrência de estigma foram maiores nos agentes comunitários de saúde jovens, do sexo masculino, sem capacitação sobre hanseníase e com local de trabalho nas regiões periféricas do município. Fatores a serem considerados pelo programa de controle local com a adoção de Educação Permanente em Saúde. Investimentos em cursos direcionados à hanseníase podem contribuir para a redução do desconhecimento acerca da doença, pois os aspectos culturais e de crenças geracionais influenciam na manutenção de conceitos e do estigma social.Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo2023-04-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/3791310.47878/hi.2022.v47.37913Hansenologia Internationalis: leprosy and other infectious diseases; Vol. 47 (2022); 1-17Hansenologia Internationalis: hanseníase e outras doenças infecciosas; v. 47 (2022); 1-171982-5161reponame:Hansenologia Internationalis (Online)instname:Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)instacron:ILSLporenghttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/37913/37050https://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/37913/37799Copyright (c) 2023 Stefane Oliveira Batista, Ana Clara Marinho Santos, Lucas de Lima Ribeiro, Fernanda Láuria Chaves Bandeira, Allana Lima Moreira Rodrigues, Lorena Dias Monteirohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBatista, Stefane OliveiraSantos, Ana Clara MarinhoRibeiro, Lucas de LimaBandeira, Fernanda Láuria ChavesRodrigues, Allana Lima MoreiraMonteiro, Lorena Dias2023-12-04T16:45:19Zoai:ojs.periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br:article/37913Revistahttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologiaPRIhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/oaihansen_int@ilsl.br || hansenologia.internationalis@gmail.com || periodicossp@saude.sp.gov.br1982-51610100-3283opendoar:2023-12-04T16:45:19Hansenologia Internationalis (Online) - Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)false |
