Avaliação das condições higiênicas das escolas municipais de Itaqui-RS

Abstract

The article aims to evaluate the hygienic conditions of public schools in childhood education and elementary school Itaqui-RS. The study evaluated 12 public schools, six preschools and six elementary schools. Good practices checklists have been prepared in good practice for school feeding and nutrition (UANEs), two complete lists (LVBPC) - applied to the first and last visit - and two small lists (LVBPR) applied in the seven intermediate visits. The lists were based on current sanitary legislation, applied in loco weekly on alternate shifts and without advance notice to schools. The classification of UANEs was adapted according to the Collaborating Centre in Food and Nutrition School (CECANE) according to the degree of health risk. The average overall adequacy of childhood education was 36.13% and 35.28% for LVBPC and LVBPR respectively. While the average overall adequacy of the elementary schools in relation to best practice was 40.19% and 40.92% for the complete and small lists, respectively. Thus, we realize the relevance of corrective and preventive actions in these UANEs, since procedures were observed that could compromise the school feeding of hygienic sanitary point of view.
