Resumen

GARBIN, Cléa Adas Saliba et al. Dental auxiliary hepatitis B immunization: a cross-sectional study in the São Paulo state public health system, Brazil, 2018. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2020, vol.29, n.2, e2019113.  Epub 26-Mar-2020. ISSN 1679-4974.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742020000200002.

Objective:

to investigate dental auxiliaries (DA) hepatitis B immunization in Brazilian National Health System (SUS) services in nine cities in São Paulo State, Brazil, in 2018.

Methods:

this was a cross-sectional study based on interviews using a questionnaire as well as evaluation of immunity using the anti-HBs test, evaluation of prior testing, test result and interpretation and guidance provided about hepatitis B.

Results:

of the 70 registered DA, 35 completed the course of vaccinations, 29 had negative anti-HBs test results, 16 had tested previously, and 43 did not correctly understand their result; there was association (p=0.025) between completed course of vaccinations and receipt of guidance.

Conclusion:

most DA received guidance about hepatitis B; however, a considerable portion did not complete the course of vaccinations and had negative anti-HBs test results; few DA had tested previously nor correctly interpreted the result; evidence was found of an alarming scenario in which there are severe shortcomings in DA hepatitis B immunization.
