Sun exposure and sun protection of health workers in a municipality of Minas Gerais

Abstract

doi: 10.5216/ree.v12i3.6156A pele é um órgão externo e está sujeita a agressões diárias provocadas pela exposição solar. Os profissionais que exercem seu trabalho em ambientes externos estão sujeitos aos danos ocasionados pela exposição solar sem proteção, como os agentes comunitários de saúde e de combate a endemias. Nesse sentido, esse estudo teve como objetivo conhecer os hábitos de exposição solar de agentes comunitários de saúde e de combate a endemias que atuam no município de Ribeirão das Neves, Minas Gerais. Foi realizado um estudo exploratório, no ano de 2008 com a aplicação de um questionário semi-estruturado, com 7 agentes comunitários de saúde e 6 agentes de combate a endemias. Os resultados revelaram que a maior parte dos entrevistados expõe-se por mais de cinco horas diárias a radiação solar, sendo a totalidade em horário crítico; 46,17% não usam protetor solar e 23% associam métodos químicos e físicos e todos apresentaram algum agravo a pele em decorrência de sua atividade profissional. Os resultados apontam para a importância da criação e implementação de ações que motivem esses profissionais no uso de medidas de fotoproteção efetivas.

doi: 10.5216/ree.v12i3.6156 The skin is an external organ and is rateable to daily attack by sun exposure. Professionals who work in outdoor environments are at risk for occasional damage caused by sun exposure if unprotected, such as public health workers and endemic disease control workers. Therefore, this study aimed to discover the sun exposure habits of public health workers and endemic disease control workers who work in the municipality of Ribeirão das Neves, Minas Gerais. In 2008, an exploratory study was conducted using a semi-formal questionnaire with 7 public health workers and 6 endemic disease control workers. The results revealed that most part of those interviewed are exposed to sun radiation for more than five hours per day, all during the most critical exposure period; 46.17% do not use sun protection and 23% use chemical and physical methods and all displayed some kind of skin condition resulting from their professional activity. The results emphasize the importance of creating and implementing initiatives that motivate these professionals to use effective means of sun protection.
