The objective of this cross-sectional study was to assess the professional profile of dental-surgeons (DS) who work in the Family Health Strategy (FHS), and on the basis of this reflect upon aspects of the development of dental actions in primary health care in municipalities of a health region of the state of Piauí (Brazil) The study covered the nineteen municipalities of the region. The sample consisted of 111 dentists and data was collected using a questionnaire from August to December 2008. An Excel Ò database was created for the statistical analysis. The dentists were predominantly female, aged 20-39 years, with one to five years of professional experience. Most of them are specialists in a clinical field of dentistry and make home care visits. However, these visits are infrequent and without a health team and they rarely meet with the health team to compare notes. The results indicate that the problems that were detected are likely to be the same in other regions of the country. The lack of an interdisciplinary professional approach among DS is an issue to be properly addressed when examining the role of dentistry and its potentially unquestionable participation in the family health strategy.
这项横断面研究的目的是评估在家庭健康战略(FHS)中工作的牙科医生(DS)的专业概况,并在此基础上反思巴西皮奥伊州一个健康区域的各市在初级卫生保健中开展牙科行动的发展情况。该研究涵盖了该区域的19个市。样本包括111名牙医,并于2008年8月至12月使用问卷收集数据。创建了一个Excel数据库进行统计分析。这些牙医以女性为主,年龄在20至39岁之间,有一至五年的专业经验。他们中的大多数是牙科临床领域的专家,会进行上门护理访视。然而,这些访视并不频繁,且没有健康团队陪同,他们也很少与健康团队会面交流经验。结果表明,在该国其他地区可能也会发现同样的问题。在审视牙科的作用及其在家庭健康战略中潜在的无可争议的参与时,牙科医生之间缺乏跨学科专业方法是一个需要妥善解决的问题。
