Results: The individual, mean, and global Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated. The booklet was validated with a CVI of 0.89. The suggestions of the experts were analyzed, and some of them were implemented for the final version of the booklet. Conclusion: The booklet was validated and will contribute significantly to the daily activities of medical and nursing professionals in the Family Health Strategy in relation to the interpretation of the mammographic report and the orientation regarding the referral, agility, and qualification of the patient to the specialized service.
Leishmaniose visceral (LV) é uma doença grave que pode apresentar letalidade de 95%, é provocada pelo protozoário Leishmania infantum chagasi, transmitido pelas fêmeas de flebotomíneos do gênero Lutzomyia sp. e que afeta o homem e os animais, particularmente o cão doméstico. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a perfil epidemiológico de pacientes com (LV) notificados em hospital de referência de Teresina-PI, no período de 2007 a 2016. A pesquisa foi realizada no Núcleo de Vigilância Epidemiológica do hospital de estudo utilizando-se o banco de dados do Sistema de Informação de Agravos e Notificação – SINAN. Os dados foram estruturados em questionário, compreendendo as variáveis, como: idade, sexo, município de residência, escolaridade, evolução do caso e presença de outros agravos como o HIV. Os resultados apontam que há relação entre infecção por (LV) e HIV, relação com o gênero, acometendo principalmente o sexo masculino, escolaridade abordando pessoas com o ensino fundamental incompleto e idade onde os pacientes são menores de 10 anos. Os notificados em sua maioria são de Teresina. Considera-se a necessidade de programas de combate à (LV), podendo-se pontuar a necessidade de novas investigações para subsidiar tais programas no Brasil, e contribuir para compreensão da epidemiologia desta doença.Palavras-chave: Leishmania.
