Resumo: | The objective of the present research was to evaluate the degree of knowledge of parents of children living in the municipality of Mirassol D’Oeste about intestinal parasites and the possible ways of contamination. A cross-sectional study was carried out with descriptive statistics and analysis of qualitative data that, through a questionnaire, was based on the understanding, experience or knowledge of parents or guardians of 60 children up to thirteen years old about intestinal parasites. Most parents and guardians of the children, 45%, have higher education; 76.67% use well water for consumption; 81.67% have public garbage collection; 80% of respondents answered to know what is intestinal parasite; 78.33% know how to recognize when the child is parasitized; 88.67% have already taken antiparasitic medicine and 85% reported that children wash their hands before meals. This study shows that the studied population has basic knowledge about intestinal parasites, which may reflect the level of education and access to information on the subject. Most interviewees know how to identify symptoms, perform stool tests on children and use antiparasitic drugs. Our results demonstrate that access to information and knowledge about intestinal parasites is the greatest preventive measure against infections. Thus, there is an evident need to further expand access to information, whether through social networks, podscast, educational videos, lectures, leafleting, home visits, to cover the whole community, raising hygiene and self-care levels and decreasing infection rates. |

Se realizó un estudio transversal con estadística descriptiva y análisis de datos cualitativos que, a través de un cuestionario, se basó en la comprensión, experiencia o conocimiento de los padres o tutores de 60 niños de hasta trece años sobre los parásitos intestinales. La mayoría de los padres y tutores de los niños, el 45%, tienen educación superior; 76,67% utiliza agua de pozo para su consumo; 81,67% tiene recolección de basura pública; 80% de los encuestados respondió saber qué es un parásito intestinal; 78,33% sabe reconocer cuando el niño está parasitado; 88,67% ya ha tomado medicamentos antiparasitarios y el 85% informó que los niños se lavan las manos antes de las comidas. Este estudio muestra que la población estudiada tiene conocimientos básicos sobre los parásitos intestinales, lo que puede reflejar el nivel de educación y acceso a la información sobre el tema. La mayoría de los entrevistados saben cómo identificar los síntomas, realizar análisis de heces en los niños y utilizar fármacos antiparasitarios. Nuestros resultados demuestran que el acceso a la información y el conocimiento sobre los parásitos intestinales es la mayor medida preventiva contra las infecciones. Así, existe una clara necesidad de seguir ampliando el acceso a la información, ya sea a través de redes sociales, podscast, videos educativos, charlas, distribución de folletos, visitas domiciliarias, para cubrir a toda la comunidad, elevando los niveles de higiene y autocuidado y disminuyendo las tasas de contagio.O objetivo da presente pesquisa foi avaliar o grau de conhecimento dos pais de crianças moradoras do município de Mirassol D’Oeste acerca das parasitoses intestinais e as possíveis vias de contaminação.
