Abstract(s)
Este estudo teve o objetivo de investigar as percepções
de graduandos de Odontologia sobre a fidelidade
às diretrizes de biossegurança e acerca do
preservar-se. Nove questões abertas, que abordaram
aspectos de interesse para o tema, foram aplicadas
em entrevista com 14 acadêmicos, que realizavam
atendimento odontológico de pacientes da Faculdade
de Odontologia de Araraquara da Unesp. Utilizouse
a metodologia de pesquisa qualitativa e a estratégia
metodológica para análise das entrevistas foi
a Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC). Três figuras
metodológicas foram obtidas, sendo ideias-centrais,
expressões-chave e o DSC propriamente dito. A análise
dos discursos permitiu avaliar a fala natural da
coletividade. Verificou-se a adesão dos entrevistados
aos protocolos de biossegurança, embora houvesse
a queixa de que, na rotina diária, as precauções fossem
negligenciadas por não serem muito práticas.
Entre as medidas de proteção individual e coletiva,
rotineiramente utilizadas, foram apontados o uso
de Equipamento de Proteção Individual (EPI) e as
barreiras protetoras, bem como as atividades de
desinfecção e esterilização. O risco de contágio foi
visto por alguns com pavor e por outros com total
indiferença porque acreditavam ser algo do qual
é possível de se ter controle por meio da adesão
às precauções padrão. Entre as doenças de maior
preocupação, a aids e as hepatites B e C foram as
mais temidas. Diante do discurso obtido, salientase
a necessidade de se aperfeiçoar as estratégias
educacionais, com intuito de motivar a fiel adesão
às normas de biossegurança, essenciais no trato de
pacientes odontológicos.
ABSTRACT: The aim of the present study was to investigate dental students’ perceptions in relation to adherence to Biosecurity guidelines and self-preservation. Nine open questions that approached aspects regarding the issue were asked in interview to 14 dental students who assisted dental patients at the Araraquara School of Dentistry - UNESP. The qualitative methodology was used and the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) was the methodological strategy for interview analysis. Three methodological figures were obtained: central ideas, key expressions and the CSD itself. The natural collective discourse was obtained. Adherence to Biosecurity protocols was reported, although the students complained that, in the daily routine, the precautions were neglected because they are not practical. Among collective and individual precautions were the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), protective barriers, and disinfection and sterilization processes. Danger of contagion was reported as dreadful by some or as indifferent by others who thought that it was something that could be controlled and minimized by using standard precautions. HIV and Hepatitis B and C were the most feared diseases. Based on the discourses, it is possible to emphasize the need to improve the educational strategies, aiming to motivate adherence to Biosecurity guidelines, which are essential when dealing with dental patients.
