Resumo: Leprosy is a serious public health problem in Brazil and especially in the county of Paracatu (MG), a site of priority for the disease control according to the National Program of Leprosy Control due to a high detection rate (17.9%/ 100,000 inhabitants – detection rate in 2008). A significant part of intra domiciliary contacts of the school children treated for leprosy previously (2004 to 2006) were not submitted to the dermato neurological examination. Aims: Identify leprosy intra domiciliary contacts socio economic profile, their awareness about the disease, their perceptions about local health services, and the reasons of not being exanimate. We have developed a semi-structured interview, applied in home visits for 46subjects from 33 families in Paracatu (MG), performed during 2009. Results: Among the 46 intra domiciliary contacts, 61.0% were male, 24.0% aged from 21 to 28 years, 33.0% were fathers of a treated child, 54.0% functionally illiterates, with a low familiar income; 78.0% were residents of periphery neighborhood, with low socio economic conditions and insufficient coverage of sanitary infrastructure. The main reason given for not being submitted to the dermato neurologic examination, by 38.0% of the contacts, was due to work period. About 50.0% of the interviewed referred not know about the risk of acquiring the disease. They suggested an enlargement of the timetables for health services and domiciliary visits, information about the disease, as well as the improvement of health services access. Conclusion: health services reorientation can enhance health promotion actions, disease prevention and adhesion to leprosy treatment.

Uma parte importante dos contatos de crianças previamente tratadas não havia comparecido ao serviço de saúde para realização do exame dermatoneurológico. Objetivos: conhecer o perfil socioeconômico dos contatos de escolares tratados de hanseníase em Paracatu (MG), de 2004 a 2006, identificar o conhecimento sobre a doença, a percepção sobre os serviços de saúde do município e identificar os motivos do não comparecimento para a realização do exame dermatoneurológico preconizado. Foi desenvolvido um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturada, aplicado em visitas domiciliárias, no ano de 2009, a 46 sujeitos de 33 famílias. Resultados: Do total de 46 contatos pesquisados, 61% eram homens e 24% encontram-se entre a faixa etária de 21 a 28 anos; 33% eram os pais das crianças tratadas, 54% analfabetos funcionais, com renda familiar de 1 a 2 salários mínimos. Entre os entrevistados, 78% residiam em bairros periféricos pobres. O principal motivo referido por 38% dos contatos para a não realização do exame dermatoneurológico foi falta de tempo devido ao horário trabalho. O risco de adquirir a doença era desconhecido por 50,0% dos entrevistados, que sugeriram ampliação dos horários de atendimento, visitas domiciliárias da equipe de saúde com informações e divulgações da doença como melhorias ao acesso aos serviços de saúde. Conclusão: a reorientação dos serviços de saúde pode ampliar as ações de promoção de saúde, de prevenção da doença e adesão ao tratamento da hanseníase.Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde de São Paulo2012-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/3508410.47878/hi.2012.v37.35084Hansenologia Internationalis: leprosy and other infectious diseases; Vol. 37 No. 1 (2012); 35-44Hansenologia Internationalis: hanseníase e outras doenças infecciosas; v. 37 n. 1 (2012); 35-441982-5161reponame:Hansenologia Internationalis (Online)instname:Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)instacron:ILSLporhttps://periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br/hansenologia/article/view/35084/33561Ferreira, Iris Leda Camargos Silva NeryFerreira, Isaias NeryMorraye, Mônica Andradeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-06-05T22:39:09Zoai:ojs.periodicos.saude.sp.gov.br:article/35084Revistahttps://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:2021-06-05T22:39:09Hansenologia Internationalis (Online) - Instituto Lauro de Souza Lima (ILSL)false
