Introduction: Skin cancer is the most prevalent malignancy worldwide. It is necessary to intervene from childhood in its prevention. The lack of awareness of the population demands photoeducation activities, so that photoprotection habits are built. Goals: Compare previous and immediately acquired knowledge and attitudes of primary school students, participants in this educational action aimed at the prevention of skin cancer. Analyze student satisfaction with the educational program attended. Method: A semi-experimental, quantitative study was carried out, based on educational intervention. The teachers, mediators of the intervention, were guided by the researcher, with two dialogical workshops. The educational program was applied over ten weekly activities, based on an active method, to 32 students from the eighth year of a public school in a municipality in the countryside of São Paulo, who answered questionnaires before the beginning and after the end of the activities. Sociodemographic data and phenotypic characteristics of risk for skin cancer, as well as information about knowledge and practice of photoprotective attitudes were previously collected. At the end of the educational intervention, students answered a close-ended questionnaire on knowledge and attitudes and a questionnaire on their satisfaction with the program. Quantitative and comparative analysis was carried out between the questionnaires on pre-intervention and post-intervention knowledge and attitudes. Results: The educational program was evaluated satisfactorily by the students, contributed to the learning of important concepts for photoprotection and changing attitudes. Conclusion: The educational program on the prevention of skin cancer, aimed at children and adolescents, using active teaching-learning methods, enabled the gain of knowledge and signs of photoprotective attitudes.
Objetivo: Identificar os tratamentos tópicos mais eficazes nas queimaduras de espessura parcial, comparando os diversos tipos de curativos utilizados, a fim de auxiliar na abordagem precoce do paciente, reduzindo o agravo da lesão. Método: Revisão sistemática da literatura, correspondente ao período de 2017 a 2022, cujos dados foram coletados na base de dados PUBMED, LILAC, Medline e SCIELO. Como descritores foram utilizados os termos em português e inglês: queimadura, terapêutica e cicatrização sendo analisados na íntegra 7 artigos. Resultados: Tratamento mais eficaz e com melhor custo/benefício para a abordagem precoce dos pacientes a fim de evitar agravos foram elucidadas nas literaturas investigadas. Desse modo, existem uma série de tratamentos para queimaduras, desde os compostos mais tradicionais como as composições com prata, até outros mais inovadores como a pele de tilápia, e seu uso deve depender de recursos disponíveis, grau e local da queimadura, objetivo do tratamento, entre outros fatores. Conclusão: A partir dos resultados dessa revisão sistemática, foi possível descrever novas propostas de curativos para o tratamento de queimaduras. Foram encontrados como principais tratamento tópico de queimaduras de espessura parcial o uso da pele de tilápia, Aquacel, Película de Biocelulose e Sulfadiazina de Prata. Em suma, a escolha do tratamento tópico deve ficar a critério do profissional buscando sempre o custo benefício, tempo de tratamento, e a disponibilidade desses curativos na instituição de saúde onde trabalham.
