Objective: To identify the knowledge about mouth cancer among patients from the Family Health Strategy of the Municipality of Quixadá, Ceará, Brasil.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional, observational, descriptive, and analytical study, carried out with 90 users of the Basic Health Units of the city of Quixadá, Ceará, Brasil. Users of the services of the Family Health Strategy participated in the survey. A structured questionnaire was applied for data collection. The data were analyzed in the statistical program Epi Info 7, considering a 5% level of significance. The present study was approved by the Ethics and Research Committee of the Catholic University Center of Quixadá, logged under protocol number 1,499,677.
Results: Regarding socioeconomic aspects, we identified a greater number of female participants (66.7%), between 45 and 50 years of age (31.1%), living in the urban area (60%), with incomplete elementary education (41.1%), and a family income of one minimum wage (47.8%). Regarding health and knowledge habits, 87.8% were not smokers and 81.1% had not used alcohol. Among those interviewed, 67.8% had no prior knowledge of oral cancer; 75.6% had never heard of self-examination; and 93.3% do not know how to perform this examination. A statistically significant association was observed between males and high alcohol consumption (p = 0.002), and between hearing about self-examination and residing in an urban area (p = 0.001).
Conclusion: The knowledge about mouth cancer in users of the Family Health Strategy of the municipality of Quixadá is insufficient.
