Skin cancer in rural workers: nursing knowledge and intervention

Abstract: Objective:To identify the exposure of rural workers to the sun's ultraviolet radiation and pesticides; to identify previous cases of skin cancer; and to implement clinical and communicative nursing actions among rural workers with a previous diagnosis of skin cancer. Method: Observational-exploratory study conducted with rural workers exposed to ultraviolet radiation and pesticides in a rural area in the extreme south of Brazil. A clinical judgment and risk communication model properly adapted was used to deve… Show more

“…This can be explained by the intense labor that rural workers perform, resulting in inactive leisure activities 27 . It is important to note that the health of the rural worker should be given special attention, since regular work happens at a faster pace, often occupying more than half of the day, in addition to this population being exposed to agrochemicals, machinery, and solar radiation 28 , 29 . These characteristics of intense work in the field can cause health problems such as skin cancer, gonalgia, and minor psychiatric disorders 29–31 .…”

“…Este é um ponto que deve ser evidenciado, pois, se um indivíduo apresenta características genéticas que favoreçam a ocorrência de neoplasias de pele ou apresenta histórico familiar deste câncer, a ausência de sintomas ou a não investigação de determinada lesão elementar que pode tornar-se cancerígena pode retardar a procura médica e, consequentemente, dificultar um diagnóstico e tratamento precoces. Cezar-vaz et al (2015), em seu estudo sobre o câncer de pele em trabalhadores rurais, evidenciaram que entre aqueles que tiveram diagnóstico de câncer de pele, apenas 28,6% não sabiam seu histórico familiar, enquanto 71,4% tinham conhecimento sobre o seu histórico familiar.…”

“…El aumento de la incidencia de cáncer entre estos trabajadores ha sido parcialmente explicado por el uso crónico de agrotóxicos. Un estudio realizado en Rio Grande do Sul, mostró que 97,7% de los trabajadores rurales están expuestos a los riesgos físicos y químicos -radiación solar ultravioleta y pesticidas, siendo que 71,5% presentaron lesiones potenciales de cáncer de piel 13 . A pesar de ser incipiente el número de estudios que acompañan a trabajadores expuestos crónicamente a los defensivos agrícolas, se sabe que son necesarias inversiones en estudios experimentales, que involucran aspectos sobre la interacción entre los factores propios del individuo y aquellos ambientáis que posibiliten el desarrollo de marcadores de susceptibilidad que subsidien las acciones en salud pública visando la protección de esos grupos susceptibles 14 .…”
