| Resumo: | Leprosy is an ancient disease that still stands as a public health problem worldwide, especially
in the considered developing countries. Of these, Brazil still has large areas of endemicity.
The disease remains high among those younger than 15 years old. In this group, the national
index achieves 0.6 every 10 000 inhabitants and reaches 2 in the North and Midwest of Brazil.
Therefore, the plan of the Ministry of Health is to prioritize the fight against disease in critical
areas, providing early diagnosis and timely treatment, especially for patients under 15 years
old. This research aimed to: identify the knowledge of students from three schools of basic
education in Parnamirim/RN about the risk of getting ill in leprosy; conduct them health
education on this topic. An exploratory-descriptive study with quantitative and qualitative
nature. Data collection consists of two steps: questionnaire and health education on leprosy.
The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee (REC) of UFRN through the
opinion nº 204/2009. Quantitative data obtained were organized, categorized, typed and
submitted to the Microsoft Office - Excel for quantitative analysis with simple percentage.
Qualitative data were subjected to a content analysis according to Bardin. The sample
consisted of 164 students of basic education, most of which is: 1st year of high school, from
11 to 15 years, in the afternoon shift, female gender, skin color white and residents in the
municipality of Parnamirim/RN. Still, each student living with four people curiously did not
respond in relation to occupation of the father. But the same answered their mother as a
housewife and a family income of one to less than four minimum wages. There have been
significant results compared the performance of health education in leprosy. Initially, students
possessed little knowledge about leprosy. Subsequent to health education, most knew the
answer about the disease, transmission, cause, where to get help in case of suspicion of
leprosy and the need for the people who lives with leprosy patients to also seek for help, the
understanding about if it is treatable or not. Content analysis has established the following
themes: axis I, what I do not know about leprosy: cure, fear and prejudice. Axis II, what I
know about leprosy, we identified: cure, effectiveness of health education and social
exclusion in the past. It is considered the scope of the proposed objectives by matching the
effectiveness of health education on leprosy in basic education in Parnamirim/RN;
emphasizes, therefore, the importance of understanding the knowledge of public school
students. It is expected of them to detect early cases of leprosy in their communities;
encourage adherence to treatment as quickly as possible; prevent disability; reduce the stigma
surrounding the disease. |
