GONZALEZ-PENAGOS, Catalina; CANO-GOMEZ, Melissa; MENESES-GOMEZ, Edwin J. e SALDARRIAGA-BOLIVAR, Verónica. Oral Health Knowledge of the Caregivers of the 'Buen Comienzo’ Program. Rev. Gerenc. Polit. Salud [online]. 2016, vol.15, n.31, pp.130-144. ISSN 1657-7027. https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.rgyps15-31.csbc.
Objective:
analyzing the knowledge on oral health of the caregivers of the ‘Buen Comienzo’ program, ‘Fantasias de las Americas’, 2015.
Materials and Methods:
historical-hermeneutical qualitative study. The information was obtained with the descriptive interactive technique of situation mural. The population was comprised of 183 parents, mothers, and caregivers of the children’s center ‘Fantasias de las Americas’. We identified analysis units and created categories and subcategories with the purpose of reducing data, contrasting and triangulating the information.
Results:
we evidenced plurality in the needs expressed by the caregivers regarding oral health and the aspects related to prevention and treatments. We identified specific needs related to pathologies and conditions associated to habits, as well as to the alterations in the variability of oral health.
Conclusions:
the identification of the needs expressed and felt by caregivers requires new topics to be taken into account as to enrich the knowledge from education and health promotion activities. We give way to a pluralist outlook where everyone participates, learns, discusses, and demands quality.
