| Summary: | ABSTRACT Purpose: to verify the population’s understanding on facial trauma, according to their level of schooling. Methods: an observational, cross-sectional, quantitative, documentary study conducted, based on 852 interviews carried out in two Brazilian state capitals. The association between the levels of schooling and varied knowledge of facial trauma was investigated. The data were analyzed with Pearson’s chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test, with a margin of error of 5%. Results: there was a statistically significant association between the participants’ schooling and their understanding on the consequences of trauma in: functions (p = 0.001), mouth mobility (p = 0.005), and dental issues (p = 0.003). In the most affected population, schooling was also associated with youth (p = 0.001) and adults (p = 0.044). Regarding causes, there was association with falls (p = 0.034) and traffic accidents (p = 0.034). There was association with bikers (p = 0.016) and motorcyclists (p = 0.001) as the population with greater propensity. Schooling was associated with all the professionals. Concerning the consequences to the victim’s life, there was association also with general health (p = 0.049), household chores (p = 0.001), and social life (p = 0.001). Recklessness was the only cause with an association (p = 0.004). Schooling was associated with previous knowledge of trauma (p = 0.001). Conclusion: their understanding on the consequences of trauma, most affected population, main causes, professionals involved in the treatment, repercussion for people’s lives, and previous knowledge of the subject increased along with the levels of background.
RESUMO Objetivo: averiguar a perspectiva da população sobre trauma de face, de acordo com nível de escolaridade. Métodos: estudo observacional, transversal, documental, quantitativo, oriundo de 852 entrevistas, em duas capitais brasileiras. Investigou-se associação entre nível de escolaridade e demais conhecimentos sobre trauma de face. Dados foram analisados com testes Qui-quadrado de Pearson ou Exato de Fisher, erro de 5%. Resultados: houve associação estatisticamente significante da escolaridade e entendimento das consequências do trauma em: funções (p=0,001), mobilidade da boca (p=0,005) e questões dentárias (p=0,003). Na população mais acometida, escolaridade também se associou a jovens (p=0,001) e adultos (p=0,044). Sobre causas, houve associação com quedas (p=0,034) e acidentes de trânsito (p=0,034). Houve associação de ciclistas (p=0,016) e motociclistas (p=0,001) como população mais propensa. Escolaridade foi associada a todos profissionais. Com relação às consequências para a vida, houve também associação com saúde geral (p=0,049), atividades domésticas (p=0,001) e vida social (p=0,001). Imprudência foi a única causa com associação (p=0,004). Escolaridade foi associada ao conhecimento prévio sobre trauma (p=0,001). Conclusão: entendimento sobre consequências do trauma, população mais acometida, principais causas, profissionais envolvidos no tratamento, repercussão para a vida das pessoas e conhecimento prévio sobre o assunto aumentaram de acordo com os níveis de escolaridade. |
