Abstract: This article seeks to characterize the respect to the principle of autonomy in the care to indigenous peoples in the Brazilian territory, based on reports on experiences and a bibliographic review. It concluded that this principle must be specially consolidated in the practical actions of health care developed alongside peoples of different cultures, as is the case of indigenous communities.

RESUMO Introdução: A qualidade da comunicação entre o profissional de saúde e o paciente é um importante pilar para uma atenção em saúde eficiente. O estado de Roraima caracteriza-se por possuir um alto percentual de indígenas, além de outros grupos que demandam linguagens de comunicação específicas. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar comparativamente os níveis de conhecimento dos estudantes do curso de Medicina e dos profissionais médicos recém-formados pela Universidade Federal de Roraima (UFRR) e dos discentes de outros cursos de graduação da UFRR, que não pertencem à área de saúde, acerca da Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras) e das línguas indígenas Macuxi, Yanomami e Wapichana. Método: Trata-se de um estudo de corte transversal, observacional e descritivo, com caráter quantitativo, envolvendo 202 participantes, o qual utilizou como ferramenta de coleta de dados um questionário estruturado aplicado de forma virtual. Resultado: O presente estudo envolveu 80 estudantes ou profissionais recém-formados em Medicina (39,6%), 47 estudantes ou profissionais recém-formados de Engenharia (23,3%) e 75 estudantes ou profissionais recém-formados de Direito (37,1%). Dentre a totalidade dos participantes, 100 eram homens (49,5%) e 102 mulheres (50,5%). Houve associação entre cursar Medicina e saber falar pelo menos uma língua indígena (p = 0,0004). Essa relação não foi evidenciada nos cursos de Direito e Engenharia Civil. Também foi identificada a associação entre estar cursando ou ter cursado Medicina e ter interesse em aprender Libras (p = 0,0159) ou ter interesse em aprender uma língua indígena (p = 0,0054). Essa associação não foi identificada entre os alunos que cursaram ou estavam cursando Direito ou Engenharia Civil. Conclusão: Apesar de os participantes de Medicina possuírem um maior nível de conhecimento a respeito de línguas indígenas e Libras, quando comparados aos outros cursos, isso não garante uma atenção em saúde efetiva em sua integralidade, uma vez que se evidenciou uma grande dificuldade no processo de comunicação entre eles com indígenas e pessoas surdas.

Introduction: The quality of communication between the health professional and the patient is an important pillar for efficient health care. The state of Roraima is characterized by having a high percentage of indigenous individuals, in addition to other groups that demand specific communication languages. Objective: This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the levels of knowledge of Medical students and newly graduated medical professionals from Universidade Federal de Roraima (UFRR) and students from other undergraduate courses at UFRR, who do not belong to the health area, of the Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS, Língua Brasileira de Sinais) and the Macuxi, Yanomami and Wapichana indigenous languages. Method: This is a cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, involving 202 participants, which used a structured questionnaire applied virtually as the data collection tool. Results: The present study assessed 80 students or newly graduated doctors (39.6%), 47 engineering students or newly graduated ones (23.3%) and 75 Law students or newly graduated ones (37.1%). Of all participants, 100 were men (49.5%) and 102 were women (50.5%). There was an association between studying medicine and knowing how to speak at least one indigenous language (p = 0.0004). This relationship was not demonstrated for the Law and Civil engineering courses. An association was also identified between studying or having studied Medicine and being interested in learning LIBRAS (p = 0.0159) or being interested in learning an indigenous language (p = 0.0054). This association was not identified in students who studied or were studying Law or Civil engineering. Conclusion: Although medical participants have a higher level of knowledge about indigenous languages and LIBRAS when compared to the other courses, this does not guarantee effective health care in its entirety, since there was great difficulty related to the process of communication between them and indigenous and deaf individuals.
