Resumo
Durante o 2º Curso de Complemento de Formação em Enfermagem na ERISA, foi desenvolvido um projecto de investigação -acção sobre higiene oral de crianças de 4 e 5 anos de idade. A investigação foi realizada através de um estudo exploratório - descritivo, transversal e quantitativo aplicado a 25 crianças que frequentaram o último ano de educação infantil, no ano lectivo 2008/2009 de um colégio privado no Concelho de Oeiras. Este estudo permitiu identificar quais os hábitos de higiene oral destas crianças e a formação e apoio dado pelos pais e pela escola nesta área. Concluiu-se que havia lacunas nos hábitos e conhecimentos dos amos no que diz respeito à higiene oral. Determin ou-se que estas lacunas não podiam ser resolvidas com acções de formação dirigidas exclusivamente às crianças, mas que era necessário envolver, na sua dinâmica, também toda a comunidade escolar e os pais dos alunos. Assim, para que esta missão fosse concretizada, for am planeadas e implementadas uma série de actividades dirigidas aos pais, aos alunos e indirectamente à escola.
We developed an applied research project on oral hygiene in children between the ages of 4 and 5 years old during the 2nd Supplementary Training Course m Nursing at ERISA. This research is characterized as a descriptive, transversal and quantitative exploratory study, and was applied to 25 children attending the last year of early childhood education during the 2008/2009 academic year in a private school in Oeiras municipality. This study allowed us to identify these children's oral hygiene habits as well as the training and support given by their parents and the School in this area as well. We concluded that there were several gaps in the habits and student's awareness regarding oral hygiene. We also determined that these gaps could not be solved simply by training programs exclusively geared to children, therefore making it also necessary to involve the school community including the student's parents. Thus, in order to accomplish this mission, we planned and implemented a series of activities that were addressed to the parents, the children and, indirectly, to the school.
