CARVALHO, Jairo Augusto Marques de et al. Pregnant's dental care acess evaluation conducted by PET-Health group at the State University of Londrina. Rev. ABENO [online]. 2014, vol.14, n.1, pp. 81-86. ISSN 1679-5954.

Evaluation of pregnant women access to dental services provided by the Londrina State University/PR PET-Health group II Basic Health Unit carried out a research from May to September 2013 to verify the access of pregnant women who were receiving prenatal care at that UBS to the Dental Program and also to verify the knowledge, commitment and the referrals of these women to dental care by the health team. Data the PET-Health group from the Londrina State University that provides services at the Cambé were collected through structured questionnaires. Twenty-six (26) pregnant women out of the 51 who were receiving prenatal care at the UBS were interviewed as well as 36 UBS employees. Results showed that 69,23% of the pregnant women knew about the Dental Program; 77,77% of them received orientations during the first prenatal consultation and scheduled their appointment with the dentist; 78,57% went to the first consultation; 81,81% are currently under dental treatment; 100% consider oral health important to general health; 100% intend to bring their kids to early dental follow-ups; 94,44% of the pregnant women received information verbally, by their obstetrician, nursing and dentistry teams. None of the health agents gave this information to the expecting mothers. As for the employees, 100% of the interviewees stated that they learned about the dental program for pregnant women and that the PSF team should provide guidance to them towards the importance of dental care. This study concluded that the development of standardized instruments or strategies to disseminate information, the establishment of norms and the involvement of the whole team can improve the logistics and increase participation in the program.
