Artigo de Periodico Acesso aberto Avaliação do conhecimento sobre o vírus do papiloma humano (HPV) e sua vacinação entre agentes comunitários de saúde na cidade de Tubarão, Santa Catarina, em 2014(2017) Manoel, André Luciano; Rodrigues, Andreia Bittencourt; Piva, Elisa Zanatta; Warpechowski, Thainá Paola; Schuelter-Trevisol, FabianaObjective: to evaluate the knowledge of Community Health Agents (CHA) about the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and its vaccination. Methods: this is a cross-sectional study with CHA who worked in Tubarão-SC, Brazil, in 2014; data were collected through an evaluation tool about HPV and its vaccination, validated for English language and translated and adapted into Portuguese. Results: 124 CHA participated in this study; all of them had already heard about HPV, but only 25.0% had heard about HPV testing; 72.6% answered correctly less than 70.0% of the questions; those who answered correctly more than 70.0% were, in general, younger than the other CHA (p=0.010). Conclusion: CHA demonstrated little knowledge on HPV, which may affect their work as multipliers in the prevention of diseases and in education in health.
