Objetivos: contribuir para a avaliação da literacia em saúde e em saúde oral da população reclusa portuguesa através da investigação por aplicação de questionários. Descrever a relação entre os níveis de literacia em saúde e em saúde oral e a sua relação com as variáveis sociodemográficas/ história de reclusão.
Materiais e métodos: estudo observacional, descritivo de abordagem quantitativa efetuado numa amostra de conveniência de 204 reclusos do Estabelecimento Prisional de Leiria e de Leiria Jovens. A avaliação da literacia em saúde e em saúde oral foi realizada com base HLS-EU-PT-Q16 e OHL-AQ, respetivamente. Informações sobre o perfil sociodemográfico/ história de reclusão foram recolhidos através de um questionário apropriado. A análise estatística realizou-se com recurso ao software IBM SPSS Statistics v.27, tendo sido considerado um nível de significância de 5% (p≤ 0,05).
Resultados: dos 204 inquiridos, 52% apresentaram um nível problemático de literacia em saúde e 56,6% apresentaram um nível inadequado de literacia em saúde oral. Os níveis de literacia em saúde apresentam uma tendência de diminuição com o aumento da idade (p=0,002) e são superiores para 1-5 anos de pena e inferiores para 5-8 anos de pena (p=0,048). Os níveis de literacia em saúde oral são significativamente superiores para nacionalidade portuguesa (p<0,001) e para o ensino secundário e inferiores para o ensino básico (p=0,024). Não se obteve associação estatisticamente significativa entre o nível de literacia em saúde e em saúde oral (r=0,062; p=0,419). Relevam-se níveis superiores de literacia em saúde no Estabelecimento Prisional de Leiria Jovens (p=0,010).
Conclusões: os níveis de literacia em saúde e em saúde oral dos reclusos são considerados problemáticos e evidenciam pior cenário quando comparados à população portuguesa. Os resultados deste estudo enfatizam a necessidade de intervenção de forma a combater as iniquidades desta população.
Purpose: contribute to the assessment of health literacy and oral health literacy of the inmate Portuguese population through investigation by application of questionnaires. Describe the relationship between the levels of health literacy and oral health literacy and its association with the socio-demographic variables/history of incarceration. Materials and methods: observational and descriptive study, following a quantitative approach, carried out in a convenience sample of 204 inmates from the Estabelecimento Prisional de Leiria and the Estabelecimento Prisional de Leiria Jovens. The assessment of health literacy and oral health literacy was performed based on the HLS-EU-PT-Q16 and OHL-AQ, respectively. Information on the sociodemographic profile and history of incarceration was collected through an appropriate questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics v.27 software, with a significance level of 5% (p≤ 0,05). Results: of the 204 participants, 52% presented a problematic level of health literacy and 56,6% presented an inadequate level of oral health literacy. Health literacy levels tend to decrease with increasing age (p=0,002) and are higher for 1-5 years of sentence and lower for 5-8 years of sentence (p=0,048). Oral health literacy levels are significantly higher for Portuguese nationality (p<0,001) and for secondary education and lower for basic education (p=0,024). No statistically significant association was detected between the level of health literacy and the level of oral health literacy (r=0,062; p=0,419). Higher levels of health literacy were also found in the Estabelecimento Prisional de Leiria Jovens (p=0,010). Conclusions: the levels of health literacy and oral health literacy of the inmates are considered problematic and show a worse scenario when compared to the Portuguese population. The results of this study emphasize the need for intervention efforts in order to mitigate the inequities of this population.
