Resumo: | Objective: To assess the knowledge about leishmaniases among healthcare professionals of an endemic municipality of the state of Minas Gerais-Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 228 professionals (95 zoonosis professionals, 83 community health agents, 18 doctors, 17 nurses, 8 dentists and 7 veterinarians) of the municipality of Divinópolis – Minas Gerais between July and November 2009. It was used a structured questionnaire, previously validated, containing objective questions about the disease. Analyses were performed using the Statistical Analysis System. Results: The professional category that obtained the best mean scoring answers was the veterinarians (8.3), followed by the doctors (8.1), while community health agents had the lowest mean scoring (6.7). The adequate answers with the lowest percentage of correct answers were: preventive measures (42.5%), clinical manifestations (25.9%), popular names (20.6%) and transmission (20.2%). Although zoonosis professionals and health community agents presented the highest percentage of wrong answers, they were the ones – along with veterinarians – who answered most of the questions about preventive measures right. Conclusion: Conceptual gaps were observed among the healthcare professionals participating in this research, reinforcing the need to implement continuing education processes for these professionals, contextualizing the information on leishmaniases according to the reality studied. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p207 |

Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal con 228 profesionales (95 agentes de zoonosis, 83 agentes comunitarios de salud, 18 médicos, 17 enfermeros, 8 dentistas y 7 veterinarios) del municipio de Divinópolis - Minas Gerais entre julio y noviembre de 2009. Se utilizó un cuestionario estructurado, previamente validado con cuestiones objetivas sobre La enfermedad. Los análisis fueron realizados a través del programa Statistical Analysis System. Resultados: La categoría profesional que presentó mejor media de aciertos fue los veterinarios (8,3), seguido de los médicos (8,1), mientras los agentes comunitários de salud tuvieron la menor media (6,7). Las respuestas adecuadas con menos porcentaje de aciertos fueron: medidas preventivas (42,5%), manifestación clínica (25,9%), nombres populares (20,6%) y transmisión (20,2%). A pesar de los agentes comunitarios de salud y zoonosis presentaren mayor porcentaje de respuestas incorrectas, en las demás cuestiones fueron ellos los que tuvieron más aciertos de las medidas preventivas, junto a los veterinarios. Conclusión: Se evidenció lagunas conceptuales em los profesionales de la salud de la investigación lo que refuerza la necesidad de implementación de procesos de educación permanente de los mismos, contextualizando las informaciones de Leishmaniasis y la realidad estudiada. doi:10.5020/18061230.2014.p207Objetivo: Investigar o conhecimento sobre as leishmanioses dos profissionais de saúde de um município endêmico do estado de Minas Gerais-Brasil.
