No. of bitstreams: 1 PDF - Gustavo Leite Ribeiro.pdf: 3124067 bytes, checksum: 71176db38ad60d19a9b435919a4b8d74 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-24 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / OBJECTIVE: To determine the impact of tooth decay and traumatic dental injury (TDI) in preschool children aged three to five years old on the finances and work of their parents/guardians. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 837 preschool children enrolled in public and private institutions of Campina Grande-PB, Brazil. A pilot study was previously conducted with 40 preschoolers, to ascertain the methodology used. The Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) was applied to determine the impact of dental caries and oral disorders on quality of life related to oral health (OHRQoL) of preschool children and their parents/guardians. The items “financial impact” and “taken time off work” (absenteeism) were the dependent variables. Parents/caregivers also completed a questionnaire on sociodemographic information (child’s sex, child’s age, parent’s/caregiver’s age, maternal education and family income), toothache history, perception of children’s general health and oral health. Clinical examinations were performed in children for three calibrated dentists (K: 0,85 to 0,90). As diagnostic criteria, it was used the International Dental Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) and the criteria for diagnosis proposed by Andreasen et al. (2007). Descriptive and analytical statistics were performed, followed by logistic regression for complex samples (α = 5%). RESULTS: The frequency of absenteeism at work by parents/guardians due to oral health problems of their children was 9.2%. The factors associated with absenteeism were: low maternal education (OR = 2.306; 95% CI: 1.307- 4.068), toothache history (OR = 6.329; 95% CI: 3.178-12.607), and TDI types of avulsion/dislocation (OR = 7.927; 95% CI: 1.489-42.205). The frequency of financial impact due to oral health problems of preschool children was 7.7%. The following variables were associated with the financial impact: parental perception of oral health as bad (OR = 2.025; 95% CI: 1.016-4.034) and interaction between dental pain history and tooth decay (OR = 22.587; 95% CI: 4.838-105.448). CONCLUSION: Absenteeism at work by parents/guardians was influenced by maternal education, toothache history and dental trauma type avulsion/dislocation in preschoolers. The occurrence of financial impact on the family has been affected by the bad perception of parents about the oral health of children and interaction between dental pain history and tooth decay. / OBJETIVO: Determinar o impacto da cárie dentária e do traumatismo dentário de pré- escolares de três a cinco anos sobre as finanças e trabalho dos seus pais/responsáveis. MÉTODO: Um estudo transversal foi realizado com 837 pré-escolares matriculados em instituições públicas e particulares de Campina Grande-PB, Brasil. Um estudo piloto foi conduzido previamente com 40 pré-escolares, para averiguar a metodologia utilizada. A versão brasileira do Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B- ECOHIS) foi aplicada para determinar o impacto das alterações bucais na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) dos pré-escolares e de seus pais/responsáveis. Os itens “impacto financeiro” e “tempo de trabalho perdido” (absenteísmo) foram as variáveis dependentes utilizadas nesta pesquisa. Os pais/responsáveis também responderam a um questionário sobre informações sóciodemográficas (sexo da criança, idade da criança, idade do pai/responsável, escolaridade materna e renda familiar), histórico de dor de dente, percepção de saúde geral e saúde bucal de seus filhos. Os exames clínicos nas crianças foram realizados por três cirurgiões-dentistas previamente calibrados (K:0,85-0,90). Foram utilizados como critérios de diagnóstico, o International Dental Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS-II) e o critério de diagnóstico de traumatismo dentário proposto por Andreasen et al. (2007). Foi realizada estatística descritiva e analítica, seguida de regressão logística para amostras complexas (α= 5%). RESULTADOS: A frequência de absenteísmo no trabalho pelos pais/responsáveis devido a problemas de saúde bucal de suas crianças foi de 9.2%. Os fatores associados com o absenteísmo foram: baixa escolaridade materna (OR=2.306; 95% IC: 1.307-4.068), histórico de dor de dente (OR= 6.329; 95% IC: 3.178-12.607) e trauma dentário dos tipos avulsão/luxação (OR= 7.927; 95% IC: 1.489-42.205). Já a frequência de impacto financeiro devido a problemas de saúde bucal de pré-escolares foi de 7.7%. As seguintes variáveis foram associadas ao impacto financeiro: percepção parental sobre a saúde bucal como sendo ruim (OR=2.025; 95% IC: 1.016-4.034) e interação entre histórico de dor de dente e cáries dentárias (OR= 22.587; 95% IC: 4.838-105.448). CONCLUSÃO: O absenteísmo no trabalho pelos pais/responsáveis foi influenciado pela escolaridade materna, histórico de dor de dente e traumatismo dentário do tipo avulsão/luxação nos pré-escolares. A ocorrência de impacto financeiro para a família foi afetada pela percepção ruim dos pais sobre a saúde bucal dos filhos e interação entre histórico de dor de dente e cáries dentárias.

There is an achievement gap occurring between ethnic minority children, mostly from low-income homes, and European American children in the United States. The gap between these children is present at school entry. Many children are not prepared for the minimal standards needed to succeed in school and, as a result, the gap widens throughout schooling. School readiness is an important attribute for future success among all children. There are many efforts to close this school readiness gap through early intervention. Head Start is an example of an early intervention program offering educational and social services to low-income families in an effort to promote school readiness among children at-risk for school failure. Early intervention programs, policy, and research acknowledge that advocating parent involvement and empowerment is the foundation for improving children's ability to be successful in school. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between parent variables and school outcomes. Specifically, the focus was to study how parent expectations and parent involvement in home learning and enrichment activities affect the school readiness of children enrolled in Head Start. The study examined how these parent variables were related to children's school readiness, and differences between ethnic groups, gender groups, and level of risk. The study tested a model whereby the effect of parent expectations on school readiness is mediated by parent involvement. The sample consisted of 77 caregivers, primarily mothers or mother figures, and their children who were enrolled in a Head Start preschool program. The caregivers were given experimental measures in addition to questionnaires adapted from standardized measures to assess parent behaviors. Standardized measures were administered to children to assess school readiness. Demographic information and level of risk were gathered using existing data collected during the enrollment process. Results indicated that high parent expectations directly relate to increased school readiness scores. Parent expectations also had a positive direct relationship to parent involvement. However, results did not support that parent involvement in home learning activities served as a mediator of the relationship between parent expectations and school readiness variables. In addition, the analysis of ethnicity, gender, and risk level suggested these variables had no moderation effects on the parent expectations and school readiness relationship or the comprehensive model. Study implications for parent behaviors and school readiness are discussed.

É recomendada a utilização de pelo menos dois instrumentos para medir adequadamente este sintoma e, no Brasil, dispomos atualmente apenas da escala visual analógica. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar a adaptação transcultural e validação para português (cultura brasileira) da Itch Severity Scale, instrumento para medir a gravidade de prurido. Trata-se de estudo metodológico de validação de instrumento. Baseado nos protocolos propostos por Beaton et al. (2010) e Reichenheim e Moraes (2007) para obter as equivalências conceitual, de itens, semântica, operacional e de mensuração. Participaram do estudo 7 alergologistas, 3 professores de inglês, 1 professor de linguística, 1 professor com experiência em validação de instrumento, 42 responsáveis por portadores de dermatite atópica entre 02 a 18 anos incompletos de idade e 42 responsáveis por crianças de mesma faixa etária sem doença cutânea pruriginosa. Resultados da escala foram comparados com gravidade da dermatite atópica e controle da doença, e entre os dois grupos. Da população selecionada, 98,8% participaram e 100% das questões da escala foram respondidas. Houve clareza das questões maior que 90%. A Escala de Gravidade de Prurido mostrou forte correlação positiva com a gravidade da dermatite atópica (índice de Pearson 0,74 p<0,001) e boa correlação com o controle da dermatite (coeficiente de correlação ponto-bisserial 0,65 p<0,001). Foi demonstrada ótima consistência interna (alfa de Cronbach 0,96) e adequada reprodutibilidade pela concordância do teste e reteste (coeficiente de correlação intraclasse variando de 0,89 a 0,99 com IC95% e p<0,001. A Escala de Gravidade de Prurido (ISS-Ped) apresentou-se viável, válida e confiável, podendo ser utilizada no Brasil para avaliar a gravidade do prurido em crianças e adolescentes com dermatite atópica, permitindo comparações na prática clínica e entre pesquisas de diferentes centros. / Atopic dermatitis affects around 10% of the pediatric population in the world and has important negative impacts the quality of life related to health of patients and their families particularly related to the itch. It is recommended to use at least two instruments to properly measure this symptom, and in Brazil, we currently only visual analogue scale. The aim of this study was to adapt cross-culturally and validate an instrument to measure the severity of itching, the Itch Severity Scale, into Brazilian Portuguese. It is a methodological instrument validation study. Based on the protocols proposed by Beaton et al. (2010) and Reichenheim and Moraes (2007) was obtained the conceptual, item, semantic, operational and measurement equivalences. Seven allergists, 3 English teachers, one professor of linguistics, one teacher with experience in instrument validation, 42 parents of children with atopic dermatitis between 02-18 years of age-old and 42 parents of children of the same age group without itchy skin disease. Scale results were compared with severity of atopic dermatitis and disease control, and between the two groups. In the sample, 98.8% participated and 100% of the scale of the questions were answered. There was clear understanding > 90% of the questions. The Pruritus Severity Scale showed a strong positive correlation with the severity of atopic dermatitis (Pearson index 0.74 p <0.001) and good correlation with the control dermatitis (correlation coefficient 0.65 bisserial point p <0.001). Excellent internal consistency was demonstrated (Cronbach's alpha 0.96) and adequate reproducibility for the test and retest agreement (intraclass correlation coefficients ranging from .89 to 0.99 with 95% CI p <0.001. The Escala de Gravidade de Prurido (ISS-Ped) proved to be feasible, valid and reliable and can be used in Brazil to assess the severity of itching in children and adolescents with atopic dermatitis, allowing comparisons in clinical practice and research between different centers.

Durante a ocorrência de um surto de gastroenterite em uma das creches do município, objetivou-se investigar a ocorrência de enteroparasitos nos trabalhadores e crianças das instituições municipais urbanas de educação infantil, avaliar o desempenho de técnicas diagnósticas na detecção de Giardia duodenalis em amostras fecais provenientes de creche, local de surto de gastroenterite, e implantar um programa de controle desta parasitose, o "Programa de Controle da Giardiose em Creches e Pré-escolas" (PCGCP) a fim de avaliar a adesão de gestores, trabalhadores e famílias das crianças às medidas higiênicas no ambiente escolar infantil. Para tanto se utilizou amostras fecais de 172 crianças e 33 trabalhadores, processadas pelos métodos Three Fecal Test Conventional® e Modified®, diagnosticando-se 89,53 % das crianças e 71,87 % dos trabalhadores positivos para parasitos e comensais. Blastocystis hominis foi o parasito intestinal de maior prevalência entre as crianças (86,62 %) e trabalhadores (65,62 %). Os casos de monoparasitismo foram mais frequentes que os de poliparasitismo entre as crianças e os trabalhadores estudados, bem como a prevalência de protozoários foi maior que a de helmintos. O modelo de regressão logística evidenciou associação significativa entre criança atendida na creche e a frequência de infecção por enteroparasitos (p = 0,01), por G. duodenalis (p = 0,00), por B. hominis (p = 0,02), e pelos protozoários intestinais (p = 0,01). Entre criança menor de um ano e a frequência de infecção por G. duodenalis (p = 0,00), e entre crianças cujos domicílios não possuíam coleta de lixo e a frequência de infecção por helmintos (p = 0,03). Os resultados obtidos utilizando-se os métodos de Faust et al. e ELISA foram concordantes substancialmente, contudo, a presença de resultados falsos positivos verificados no imunoensaio limitam sua aplicabilidade como teste diagnóstico em uma situação de surto. Como ferramenta de controle e prevenção da giardiose, foi implantado e avaliado o PCGCP nestes ambientes do estudo. A adesão e ativo engajamento dos gestores, trabalhadores e famílias das crianças ao PCGCP foi considerada satisfatória, e os resultados sugerem que o treinamento das práticas para se evitar a giardiose deva ser mantido de forma permanente a fim de se alcançar uma efetiva prevenção nos ambientes escolares infantis / Abstract: Intestinal parasites are common in the population using the Unified Health System of São Sebastião da Grama, a municipality in the state of São Paulo. The aims of this study to investigate the occurrence of intestinal parasites in children and workers of urban municipal institutions of early childhood education, to evaluate the performance of diagnostic techniques for detection of Giardia duodenalis in stool samples from daycare centers, where outbreaks of gastroenteritis occur. To implement a program to control this parasite, the "Program of Control of Giardiasis in Day Care Centers and Preschools" (PCGCP), in order to assess the commitment of managers, workers and children?s families to hygienic measures within these school environments. For this purpose we used fecal samples from 172 children and 33 workers, processed using the Conventional and Modified Three Fecal Test® method. As a result, 89,53 % of the children and 71,87 % of workers were diagnosed positive for pathogenic parasites and commensals. Blastocystis hominis was the most prevalent intestinal parasite among children (86,62 %) and employees (65,62 %). Monoparasitism cases were more frequent than those of multiple parasitic infections among children and workers. The prevalence of protozoa was greater than that of helminths. The logistic regression model revealed a significant association between child attended in the day care center and the frequency of infection with intestinal parasites (p = 0,01), by G. duodenalis (p = 0,00), by B. hominis (p = 0,02), and the intestinal protozoa (p = 0,01). Higher indices were found among children under one year of age (frequency of infection with G. duodenalis (p = 0,00)) and among children whose homes had no waste collection (frequency of helminth infection (p = 0,03)).The results obtained using the methods of Faust et al. and ELISA were substantially consistent. However, the presence of false positive results observed in the immunoassay limits its applicability as a diagnostic test in an outbreak situation. As a tool for control and prevention of giardiasis, the program PCGCP was implemented and its adherence was evaluated in the sites investigated, places considered at the scope of this study. The commitment and active engagement of managers, workers and families with children to PCGCP was considered satisfactory, and the results suggest that training practices to avoid giardiasis should be made permanent for an effective prevention in day care centers and preschools environments to be achieved / Mestrado / Parasitologia / Mestre em Parasitologia
