| Popis: | This is a descriptive, quantitative and cross-sectional study to analyze the knowledge of child education and health professionals about chickenpox, previous to a health education workshop they attended. Data were collected through self-completion questionnaires and analyzed using the Epi Info® software, considering 5% statistically significant level. There were 92 participants from eight Child Day Care Centers and two Basic Health Care Centers in Londrina – PR. More than 52.0% of health professionals and 74.0% of child education professionals didn’t know the disease. To 76.0% of child education professionals and 38.1% of health professionals, chickenpox does not present complications and its viral etiology was reported in 75.0% and 50.0% of professionals, respectively. Chickenpox is a disease that can still be prevented, little known among these two categories of professionals, and requires adequate assistance and reductions of transmissibility through health education programs, besides immunization. |
