Resumo
The larval therapy (LT) is a biotherapy applied for hundreds of years and
understands the use of live larvae of flies in the treatment of wounds of various
etiologies. The aims of this study were to assess the "acceptance" or "refusal"
of larval therapy in wound healing between doctors and nurses from CAIS
(Centre for Integral Care of Health) in Goiânia, GO and evaluate the factors
affecting "acceptance "or" refusal "of the TL in wound healing, in the body and
the bodies of others. This study takes a quantitative, descriptive and analytical
study carried out in the period between June and December 2009, on the 14
CAIS, Goiânia, GO. The study population consisted of 209 professionals and of
these, 92 nurses and 41 doctors completed the data collection instrument. The
questionnaire took over identifying data, socioeconomic, demographic,
religious, vocational training and qualification, "acceptance" and "refusal" of the
TL and evaluation of factors that could influence the responses "acceptance"
and "refusal" of biotherapy. All tests were performed using the software
"Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The data were explored by
frequency, mean, standard deviation, median and interquartile range. The
Wilcoxon test was used to compare the characteristics of variables in two
different situations, in the body and the body of another person (acceptance or
refusal of health professionals). P values <0.05 were considered statistically
significant. Among the 133 professionals, 76.7% were female, 58.6% were aged
between 23 and 32 years, 63.2% and 76.0% were Catholics from the State of
Goiás. Among the professionals, 48.1% (n=64) said they would use maggots to
treat wounds in his body and 51.8% (n=69) would use in the wounds of others.
The factors that most interfered with the response "acceptance" among
professionals, both for use in the same body as the body of others were: wound
that does not respond to other treatments, reducing the healing time, rapid and
selective debridement and effectiveness against microorganisms (Md=8 to 9;
Q1=7 to 8;Q3=10;MIN=0 to 2;MAX=10). As for the answer "refusal", the factors
that most interfered with this choice, the two situations were: insufficient
knowledge and disgust manipulation (Md=9;Q1=3 to 6;Q3=10;MIN=0;MAX=10).
Despite therapy with fly larvae is still poorly understood by physicians and
nurses from CAIS, Goiânia, GO, almost half of these professionals agree to use
this therapy, a factor that indicates the need for approximation of scientific
research to practical reality.
