Abstract
PURPOSE: 1) To assess the opinion of teachers involved in visual screening of school-age children and their referral to ophthalmologic examination within the "Eye-to-Eye National Campaign for Visual Disorders Prevention and Rehabilitation" (Campanha Nacional de Prevenção e Reabilitação Visual Olho no Olho); 2) To identify the teachers' perception with respect to the training received for conducting the campaign. METHODS: A descriptive study has been conducted, based on data recorded from the application of a questionnaire to 1,517 elementary school teachers working in public schools in 27 Brazilian states. The following items were examined: received orientation, use of educational videos and handbooks, supplied explanations, difficulties, questions and overall campaign assessment. RESULTS: 82.0% of the teachers stated they had received orientation and 92.0% stated they had read the "Teacher Orientation Manual". Among those who received orientation, 47.0% stated it had been supplied by school officials; 30.0%, by healthcare agents, and 23.0% by ophthalmologists. In the self-assessment of performance, 58.0% reported no difficulties; 32.0% reported questions concerning the campaign activities and the professionals who most frequently asked to provide clarification were those from the State Education Agency (38.0%), followed by the school director (20.0%). CONCLUSIONS: Most teachers considered themselves adequately trained and oriented to take part in the campaign. Teachers' training was provided by administrative officials, previously trained by ophthalmologists ("multiplying effect") and the small percentage of questions raised indicated the validity of the procedure. Concerns have been raised as to the information about the ophthalmologic examination, transportation of the children and delivery of glasses. This kind of program always presents some difficulties and requires adjustments. It should, indeed, be improved, perhaps through a closer involvement of the community and families during its development.
OBJETIVOS: 1) Verificar opiniões de professores envolvidos na triagem visual e encaminhamento para exame oftalmológico de escolares na "Campanha Nacional de Prevenção e Reabilitação Visual Olho no Olho". 2) Identificar a percepção dos professores em relação ao treinamento fornecido para execução da campanha. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se estudo descritivo de dados registrados provenientes da aplicação de questionário a 1.517 professores da primeira série do Ensino Fundamental do sistema público de ensino de 27 Estados brasileiros. Foram investigados: recebimento de orientações, uso de manuais e vídeos ilustrativos, orientações fornecidas, dificuldades, dúvidas e avaliação geral da campanha. RESULTADOS: 82,0% dos educadores declararam ter recebido orientações e 92,0% terem lido o "Manual de Orientação ao Professor". Dos que receberam orientações, 47,0% declararam que foram ministradas por funcionários da escola; 30,0% por profissionais do serviço de Saúde e 23,0% por oftalmologistas. Na auto-avaliação de desempenho, 58,0% não apontaram dificuldades. 32,0% relataram dúvidas em relação às atividades da campanha e o profissional mais procurado para solucioná-las foi o profissional da Secretaria da Educação (38,0%), seguido do diretor da escola (20,0%). CONCLUSÕES: A maioria dos professores considerou-se bem orientado e treinado para participar da campanha. O treinamento aos professores foi fornecido por profissionais administrativos após orientação de oftalmologistas ("efeito multiplicador") e o pequeno percentual com dúvidas indica sua validade. Foram relatadas preocupações com o aviso para realização do exame oftalmológico, o transporte dos escolares e a entrega dos óculos.
