The Family Health Strategy is a primary care public policy that is becoming a decisive step towards the transformation of the Brazilian healthcare model. This study evaluated the dental knowledge among individuals who attended a Family-Health Unit (FHU) in the city of São Carlos, SP, Brazil. Methods: The evaluation was based on a questionnaire with 20 questions about oral health, prevention and development of dental caries and periodontal disease. The questionnaire was given to 168 individuals, over 18 years of age and both sexes, to fill out under the supervision of a trained dentist. After data collection, the answers contained in the original questionnaires were entered into a database built using the program Excel® (Microsoft Corporation, USA) and a descriptive statistical analysis was done. Results: 66.67% of the subjects reported having received information about dental caries and periodontal disease before attending the FHU, and dentists were cited as the main source of such information (60.71%). With regard to dental caries, 70.24% of the individuals stated that they knew about the subject, but the majority of answers revealed incorrect explanation of it. The multifactorial etiology (bacteria/sugar/poor hygiene) was not mentioned. A low percentage of subjects (24.40%) claimed to know what periodontal disease is, and of these, the highest percentage of responses was related to gingivitis (26.83%) and gingival bleeding (12.20%). Out of all subjects, 80.36% affirmed that oral hygiene is important, and among them, the main reasons cited were the maintenance of oral health (29.63%), to avoid diseases (16.30%) and to preserve and prevent disease (14.81%). Conclusion: Responses from the questionnaires revealed deficient dental knowledge among the individuals. To improve the understanding about this issue, the information obtained through the questionnaire can be used to develop educational programs that will focus specifically on the major deficiencies found.

Os inquéritos populacionais são importantes, pois amostras clínicas tendem a apresentar vieses de seleção. Aspectos sociodemográficos e relacionados à própria condição mórbida podem interferir na procura por tratamento. Pela natureza egodistônica do transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo, seus portadores tendem a ocultar o problema, podendo não procurar ou demorar a procurar tratamento. Porém, a maior parte do conhecimento atual sobre o transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo advém de amostras clínicas, que não representam a totalidade dos casos. Foi feita uma revisão convencional da literatura através do Medline, PsicoInfo e Lilacs de inquéritos populacionais sobre o transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo, cobrindo o período de 1980 a 2004, utilizando-se como palavras-chave epidemiologia, transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo, inquéritos populacionais e prevalência. Estudos realizados em diferentes países indicam para o transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo uma prevalência atual em torno de 1,0% e ao longo da vida de 2,0 a 2,5%. Diferentemente de amostras clínicas, em quase todas as amostras populacionais há predomínio de mulheres e portadores que têm apenas obsessões. A freqüente comorbidade com outros transtornos mentais, particularmente depressão e outros transtornos ansiosos, repete-se em casos da população geral, que apresentam ainda uma associação com abuso de substâncias. Muitos portadores não estão em tratamento, particularmente os casos puros. Indicadores de incapacitação funcional demonstram um considerável impacto negativo do transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo. É preciso melhorar o conhecimento da população e dos profissionais de saúde sobre os sintomas do transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo para aumentar a procura de atendimento, assim como a correta identificação e abordagem terapêutica deste grave problema de saúde.

The majority of the population knows their role in dengue control, preventing the accumulation of water in containers as potential breeding sites of Aedes aegypti, the main vector of dengue. Also known chemical control, widely used by the institutions responsible for the control of endemic diseases. On the other hand, unaware that an alternative measure such biological control through a microbial biopesticide, safe, harmless to health and the environment, can be adopted. Thus, this work reported for elementary school students, simply and clearly, the biological control of mosquitoes through bacterial biopesticide produced locally. Moreover, promoted the interdisciplinary teaching of science and mathematics through the data tabulation and charting on interviews conducted by students, about the level of knowledge of the population about dengue and other related variables.

This is a quantitative study conducted at the Outpatient Clinic of the Geriatrics and Gerontology Academic League of Botucatu School of Medicine. It aimed at learning about the profile of elderly patients and their level of disability in relation to basic activities of daily living. Based on this information, nursing diagnoses for the population under study were made, and the most frequent diagnosed were selected with the purpose of composing a stage of the instrument for nursing consultation in geriatric. It was found that the disabled elderly patients were predominantly females and widowed. They had a mean age of 81 years and had completed the first 4 grades of elementary school. Chronic pain related to physical disability and impaired ambulation related to the presence of osteoarticular diseases are examples of the most common diagnoses in the studied population. It is important that geriatric nurses implement Nursing Care Systematization based on the knowledge of the population to which they attend by considering the level of disability of elderly patients with respect to basic activities of daily living, so that full and individualized care can be provided and the patients’ remaining autonomy can be preserved.
