global da promoção da literacia em saúde. No caso concreto, sobre as alergias alimentares, um
problema significativo em ambiente escolar. Consequentemente, a capacidade da comunidade

a saúde das crianças. Objetivos: Avaliar qual o nível de conhecimentos em alergias alimentares dos
docentes e não docentes de um Agrupamento de Escolas do concelho de Viseu; verificar se existe
relação entre o conhecimento sobre alergias alimentares, as funções exercidas e o nível de ensino do
estabelecimento escolar. Métodos: Estudo quantitativo, transversal, descritivo-correlacional. Amostra
com 197 participantes, maior representatividade de docentes (52,8%). Aplicação de um questionário
de caracterização profissional e Questionário Ferramenta de Avaliação de Conhecimentos em Alergia
Alimentar nas Escolas (Inês et al., 2020). Resultados: Os docentes revelam um nível de conhecimento
sobre alergias alimentares ligeiramente mais elevado (M=9,35±3,11) do que os não docentes
(M=9,28±3,37); 37,6% dos participantes possuem elevados conhecimentos (37,6%), 34,5%
moderados e 27,9% baixos conhecimentos; os que exercem funções no pré-escolar (OM=116,67) e no
2.º ciclo do ensino básico (OM=102,50) possuem mais conhecimentos (p=0,016). Conclusão: Os
resultados indicam a necessidade de ações de formação sobre alergias alimentares nas escolas, em
particular a comunicação de informações práticas relativas à gestão de alergias e emergências. É
aconselhável, em particular, uma maior comunicação entre o Enfermeiro de Saúde Escolar e a
comunidade educativa.
