Abstract:Objetivou-se trazer para a realidade brasileira, via tradução e validação, o instrumento Oral Health Assessment Tool, de Chalmers et al. (2005), que propõe instrumentalizar profissionais da enfermagem a averiguarem as condições de saúde bucal de idosos institucionalizados e, em sequência, definir a necessidade de cuidados diários e de encaminhamento para realização de procedimentos odontológicos específicos. O instrumento, em inglês, foi traduzido para a língua portuguesa. Seguiram-se as etapas de tradução rev… Show more
“…The majority of caregivers described examining the oral cavity of the elderly, but without the guidance of an oral health professional. The examination of the mouth is important when evaluating alterations such as spots or lesions, and the caregiver requires training and the guidance of a dentist to perform this task 27 .…”

“…Therefore, the principles, experiences and beliefs of the caregiver and the elderly person must be respected in order to align their cultural practices with the guidelines 27 .…”
Section: The Caregiver and His/her Self-carementioning
Objective: to analyze the perception of caregivers of elderly persons regarding their own oral health care and that of the elderly individuals. Method: a descriptive-exploratory study with a qualitative approach was carried out. Semi-structured interviews with 13 caregivers were conducted, recorded and transcribed, and the Content Analysis technique was applied. Results: All respondents were informal caregivers, most of whom were female, aged over 50, married, had some degree of kinship with those receiving care, an incomplete elementary school education and no other occupation or job. After analyzing the interviews, the data were grouped into the following categories: a) home visits and health professionals; b) caregiver experience and care of the elderly; and c) the caregiver and their self-care. Conclusion: knowledge of caregivers' perception of their own oral health and that of dependent/semi-dependent elderly persons assists in planning, promotion, prevention and health recovery. The work of a multi-professional team is therefore essential in the seeking out and instruction of these individuals.

“…A tradução e validação semântica do instrumento Oral Health Assessment Tool para o idioma português foi objeto de e publicação anterior. Ao final deste processo, passou-se a denominar Instrumento de Avaliação da Saúde Bucal para Triagem Odontológica (ASBTO) (17) . Além da identificação do idoso, o instrumento possui 8 categorias independentes, que constituem os itens de análise (Lábios, Língua, Gengivas e Tecidos Moles, Saliva, Presença de Dentes Naturais, Presença de Dentaduras, Higiene Bucal e Dor).…”

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi aplicar o Instrumento "Avaliação da Saúde Bucal para Triagem Odontológica" (ASBTO) em idosos institucionalizados para determinação dos índices de validade e confiabilidade, quando da aplicação por Enfermeiros. Os exames foram executados por um Enfermeiro e por um Cirurgião-Dentista (CD) em 50 idosos de uma instituição de longa permanência. A determinação da consistência interna foi verificada por meio do Coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach e ANOVA. Para determinação da estabilidade e confiabilidade foram considerados os percentuais de concordância e teste Kappa. Não houve diferença estatística significante entre as médias finais obtidas pelo CD e pelo Enfermeiro (p=0,41). Houve maior consistência interna nos exames procedidos pelo CD. Os percentuais de concordância variaram de 60%, na categoria Lábio, até 90%, na categoria "Dentes naturais". O Kappa total do instrumento alcançou 0,46. A utilização do ASBTO é passível por Enfermeiros. Faz-se necessária adequada capacitação e treinamento prático para padronização de critérios.Descritores: Idoso. Saúde Bucal. Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos.

“…Moreover, when an LSI is present in the coverage area of an ESF, it is responsible for the care of the elderly residing in the area, in which case the prevalence of these changes is higher. We also considered the effective role of the CHW in the FSH, the importance of assessing oral health by primary care workers and the fact that clinical assessment by speech therapists is not routinely performed in these programs. Thus, the persistence of the CHW in the evaluation of changes in voice or swallowing can help in sorting out these problems.…”
When used by trained CHWs, the ROAG is a tool with high sensitivity and specificity to assess voice, swallowing, tongue and teeth/dentures. Moreover, it can efficiently detect patients showing no alteration in lips, saliva, mucosa and gums. High reproducibility was observed in almost all the categories. Trained CHWs can use this tool to improve the access of elderly patients to dental services.
