SUMMARY:

This study aimed to carry out single health action strategies to strengthen surveillance of human sporotrichosis in the municipality of Garanhuns, in the southern countryside of Pernambuco. A descriptive study was carried out based on the collection of primary data through the application of a structured and standardized self-administered and anonymous questionnaire, during an intervention with permanent health education activities on single health and sporotrichosis aimed at Primary Health Care professionals. The participation of 75% of health professionals in the research was verified, including medical and nursing professionals, community health agents (CHA) and agents fighting endemic diseases (ACE). The medical category was the one with the lowest participation considering the total number of medical professionals in the municipal service, with only 44.4% of participants in the research, while nursing professionals showed the highest participation with 92.3% participation, followed by ACE and ACS with 86.3% and 73.7%, respectively. The majority (79.1%) of professionals provided services in Primary Care, except for the ACE category with 100% in environmental surveillance, based in urban areas (78.5%). In relation to the level of education, complete secondary education predominated with 42.5% among professionals, particularly ACS (53.8%) and ACE (36.8%). As for gender, females prevailed with 69.5%, most notably in the nursing category, which was 91.6%. The type of employment relationship generally prevailed in the public competition with 68.6%, due to ACE (82.8%) and ACS (79.2%), however, the medical and nursing category referred to a contract in 100% of them . Regarding knowledge of the concept of single health, when asked if they had heard something related, 53.8% said no, with ACS (68.2%) and the medical category (50%) prevailing. Access to content related to single health during professional training was mentioned by only 21.4% of participants, particularly among CHWs (34.2%). Although the theoretical approach to the topic during graduation, training and/or updating courses was non-existent for 60.4% of the participants and 87.4% did not carry out any additional activity during professional training, around 57.4% stated identify unique health actions in the work routine and 70.6% considered it important for resolving health problems whose human-animal-environment interaction is a primary factor. Sporotrichosis was considered an unknown disease by 51% of participants, 30.5% of those in the nursing category and 12.5% in medicine. Regarding mandatory notification to health authorities, 72.2% said they were not aware of it, 33.3% of nurses and 50% of doctors. The animal most frequently associated with its transmission was the cat (45%) through scratching and/or biting, according to 42% of participants, including 61.1% of nursing professionals and 62.5% of medical professionals. Regarding the contribution of the environment to its transmission, 38.7% chose not to answer and 30.7% associated it with contact with contaminated land and/or garden. In relation to the most commonly found clinical manifestation, cutaneous-lymphatic lesions (43.4%) were the most frequent, with nursing and medical professionals associating them in 61.1% and 50%, respectively. Regarding the diagnosis of sporotrichosis, the clinical-epidemiological and laboratory criteria corresponded to 55.2% of the answers and 32.1% of the participants chose not to answer this question. Its treatment was associated with the administration of antifungals by 41.7% of participants, 69.4% of whom were nursing professionals and 75% were medicine professionals. And, in relation to its control as the adoption of sanitary measures, 37.6% reported vaccination and deworming of dogs and cats and 51% reported being unaware of any measures, among them nursing and medical professionals with 22.2% and 43, 7%, respectively. The results obtained revealed that the majority of health professionals in the Health Care Network are unaware of the concept of single health and sporotrichosis as a compulsory notification disease in the state of Pernambuco, therefore, it is suggested to local health managers, permanent education actions in health, for a better quality of human, animal and environmental health, for the effective control of this growing zoonosis.
