Resumo: | Introduction: Oral cancer is a chronic disease of multi-factorial origin. Its prevention and early diagnosis are the best ways to increase survival rates. Objective: To assess the level of information about oral cancer and attitudes towards etiological factors and preventive measures adopted by a group of gardeners, in Teresina-Pi. Methods: 111 volunteer gardeners were the subjects of this study, from six community gardens of the Eastern Zone of the city of Teresina-Pi. A form consisting of 26 open and closed questions regarding their demographic profile and knowledge and attitudes towards risk factors and preventive measures related to cancer, in particular oral cancer, was applied. Data were analyzed by frequency analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics (chi-square test) with a confidence level of 95% (p <0.05). Results: It was observed that of the 111 respondents, 93 (83.8%) had heard of oral cancer, 80 (72.1%) believed that there is cure and 72 (64.9%) reported that there is vaccine against it; among the risk factors, 103 (92.8%) reported that expose themselves to sunlight, the majority (86.5%) is daily exposed to it, and among the most preventive measures used is the use of hat/cap (46.8%). Conclusion: Most respondents have heard about oral cancer, but do not know it in detail, many had already been in contact with some risk factor during their lifetime, of which the most frequent is sun exposure, and most of them have used at least one of the preventive measures. |

Su prevención y el diagnóstico precoz son las mejores formas de aumentar la supervivencia. Objetivo: evaluar el nivel de información sobre el cáncer oral y las actitudes hacia los factores etiológicos y medidas preventivas adoptadas por un grupo de horticultores en Teresina- PI. Método: los sujetos del estudio eran 111 horticultores voluntarios, pertenecientes a seis huertas comunitarias en la región este de la ciudad de Teresina-PI. Fue distribuido un formulario de 26 preguntas abiertas y cerradas sobre el perfil sociodemográfico de los sujetos, su conocimiento y las actitudes hacia los factores de riesgo y medidas preventivas relacionadas al cáncer, especialmente a los cánceres de boca. El análisis de los dados fue llevado a cabo a través de análisis de frecuencias, estadísticas descriptivas y por deducción (test chi-cuadrado) con un nivel de confianza del 95% (p<0,05). Resultados: Se observó que de los 111 entrevistados, 93 (83,8%) estaban enterados del cáncer oral, 80 (72,1%) creen que hay cura y 72 (64,9%) que existe una vacuna contra ese cáncer; entre los factores de riesgo, 103 (92,8%) informaron que se exponen a la luz del sol, y la mayoría (86,5%) a diario; y entre las medidas preventivas más utilizadas está el uso de sombrero/gorra (46,8%). Conclusión: La mayoría de los encuestados han oído hablar sobre el cáncer oral, pero no lo conocen en detalle, muchos han estado en contacto con algún factor de riesgo durante su vida, y la exposición al sol el factor más frecuente, y la mayoría utiliza por lo menos una medida preventiva. Introdução: O câncer bucal é uma doença crônica de origem multifatorial. Sua prevenção e diagnóstico precoce são as melhores formas de aumento da sobrevida. Objetivo: Avaliar o nível de informação acerca do câncer bucal e as atitudes frente aos fatores etiológicos e medidas preventivas adotadas por um grupo de horticultores, em Teresina-PI. Método: Os sujeitos do estudo foram 111 horticultores voluntários, pertencentes a seis hortas comunitárias da Zona Leste da cidade de Teresina-Pi. Foi aplicado um formulário constituído de 26 perguntas abertas e fechadas referentes ao perfil sociodemográfico dos sujeitos e ao conhecimento e atitudes frente aos fatores de risco e medidas preventivas relacionadas ao câncer, em especial ao câncer de boca. Os dados foram analisados através de análise de frequências, estatísticas descritiva e inferencial (teste qui-quadrado) com nível de confiança de 95% (p<0,05). Resultados: Observouse que, dos 111 entrevistados, 93 (83,8%) já ouviram falar sobre câncer bucal, 80 (72,1%) acharam que há cura e 72 (64,9%) que existe vacina contra o mesmo; dentre os fatores de risco, 103 (92,8%) relataram que se expõem aos raios solares, sendo a maioria (86,5%) exposta diariamente; e, entre as medidas preventivas mais utilizadas, está o uso de chapéu/boné (46,8%). Conclusão: A maior parte dos entrevistados já ouviu falar sobre o câncer bucal, mas não o conhece detalhadamente, muitos já haviam entrado em contato com algum fator de risco durante sua vida, sendo o mais frequente a exposição solar; e a maioria utiliza pelo menos uma medida preventiva.
