The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge of Community Health Agents (CHA) about the oral health/disease process, and compare the results between those who work in Family Health Teams (FHT), with and without Oral Health Teams (OHT). The participants in this study were 162 subjects, representing 66% of the total number of CHA in the municipality, and 81 of them are connected with Family Health Units (FHU) with OHT, and 81 CHS with FHUs without OHT. Data were collected from October to December 2013, by application of a questionnaire, containing personal and professional data, and 12 validated questions about knowledge of the oral health/disease process. The Mann-Whitney test was applied to verify differences between the groups. Statistically significant differences were verified between the groups of CHA when the total scores of questions about the oral health/disease process were analyzed (p < 0.0021). It was concluded that knowledge about the oral health/disease process, of the CHAs connected with a FHU with an OHT was better when compared with that of CHAs connected with a FHU without an OHT.
本研究的目的是评估社区卫生工作者（CHA）对口腔健康/疾病过程的了解，并比较在有和没有口腔卫生团队（OHT）的家庭健康团队（FHT）中工作的CHA的结果。本研究的参与者为162名受试者，占该市CHA总数的66%，其中81人与设有OHT的家庭健康单位（FHU）相关联，81名CHA与没有OHT的FHU相关联。2013年10月至12月，通过应用一份问卷收集数据，该问卷包含个人和专业数据，以及12个关于口腔健康/疾病过程知识的经过验证的问题。应用曼-惠特尼检验来验证组间差异。在分析关于口腔健康/疾病过程的问题总分时，验证了CHA组之间存在统计学显著差异（p < 0.0021）。得出的结论是，与没有OHT的FHU相关联的CHA相比，与设有OHT的FHU相关联的CHA对口腔健康/疾病过程的了解更好。
