| Abstract | Objective: To evaluate the photoprotection of Community Health Agents (CHA) in five health units. Methods: A casuistry of 56 CHA was used, which were submitted to a self-administered questionnaire with questions about their solar exposure habits and their knowledge about this subject matter. Results: From the analysis of the obtained data, it was verified that 48.2% CHA exposed themselves to the sun during 2 to 6 hours between Monday and Friday and that 55.4% of them are exposed between 10 AM and 3 PM. Furthermore, 58.9% of CHA rarely or never use solar filters and among them, 53.6% apply the product with an inappropriate frequency. However, 100% of the CHA reported to know about the negative consequences and the risks of the solar exposure. Conclusion: The agents’ photoprotection was considered inappropriate, since just a few of them use solar filters and the ones, which reported using the product, do it improperly. Besides that, their knowledge about the risks and consequences of the solar exposure was considered excellent. |
