Background. The limited diffusion about hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) among general practitioners, leads to diagnosis delays.
Objectives. To assess the impact of a short and long-term educational campaign on HS among the walk-in clinic physicians of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (HIBA)
Materials and methods. Quasi-experimental study with an educational intervention by disseminating a piece of information about HS among 142 walk-in clinic physicians of the HIBA. The same anonymous survey on knowledge of the HS was carried out on 3 occasions: baseline, 1 and 9 months after the intervention. The correct answers were compared before, after 1 and 9 months. The survey and the piece of information were sent by WhatsAppⓇ.
Results. Of the total, 64 (45%) answered in the first stage, 48 (34%) in the second stage and 56 (39%) in the third stage. In the baseline survey, only half knew the inflammatory nature of the disease, 3 out of 5 physicians chose an inadequate antibiotic scheme, the surgery mostly indicated was drainage, only a fifth considered ultrasound useful, and a third did not believe that the patient could benefit from referral to a dermatologist. After the educational campaign, we observed a learning in the HS management, which was held at 9 months.
Discussion. We observed a lack of HS training among general practitioners. The WhatsAppⓇ platform could be useful as an educational tool. |

La escasa difusión de la hidradenitis supurativa (HS) entre los médicos generalistas, conduce a retrasos en el diagnóstico. Objetivos. Evaluar el impacto de una campaña educativa a corto y largo plazo sobre HS en los médicos que atienden la demanda espontánea (DE) del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (HIBA) Materiales y Métodos. Estudio cuasi experimental con una intervención educativa mediante la difusión de un pieza de información sobre HS en 142 médicos de demanda espontánea del HIBA. Se realizó una misma encuesta anónima sobre conocimientos de la HS, en 3 oportunidades: basal, 1 y 9 meses luego de la intervención. Se compararon las respuestas correctas antes, al mes y a los 9 meses. La encuesta y la pieza de información fueron enviadas por WhatsAppⓇ. Resultados. Del total, 64 (45%) respondieron en la primera etapa, 48 (34%) en la segunda y 56 (39%) en la tercera. En la encuesta basal, sólo la mitad conocía la naturaleza inflamatoria de la enfermedad, 3 de cada 5 médicos elegían un esquema antibiótico inadecuado, la cirugía mayormente indicada era el drenaje, apenas la quinta parte consideraba de utilidad la ecografía, y un tercio de los médicos no creían que el paciente pudiera beneficiarse de la derivación a un dermatólogo. Luego de la campaña educativa, observamos un aprendizaje en el manejo de la HS, que se sostuvo a los 9 meses. Discusión. Observamos una falta de entrenamiento sobre HS entre los médicos generalistas. La plataforma WhatsAppⓇ podría ser útil como herramienta educativa. Antecedentes. A difusão limitada da hidradenite supurativa (HS) entre os clínicos gerais leva a atrasos no diagnóstico. Objetivos.

Estudo quase-experimental com intervenção educacional, divulgando uma informação sobre HS em 142 médicos de demanda espontânea do HIBA. A mesma pesquisa anônima sobre o conhecimento do HS foi realizada em 3 ocasiões: linha de base, 1 e 9 meses após a intervenção. As respostas corretas foram comparadas antes, em um mês e em 9 meses. A pesquisa e as informações foram enviadas pelo WhatsAppⓇ. Resultados. Do total, 64 (45%) responderam na primeira etapa, 48 (34%) na segunda etapa e 56 (39%) na terceira etapa. Na pesquisa inicial, apenas metade conhecia a natureza inflamatória da doença, 3 em cada 5 médicos escolheram um esquema antibiótico inadequado, a cirurgia mais indicada foi a drenagem, apenas um quinto considerou o ultrassom útil e um terço dos Os médicos não acreditavam que o paciente pudesse se beneficiar do encaminhamento a um dermatologista. Após a campanha educativa, foi observado um estágio na gestão do HS, realizado aos 9 meses. Discussão. Observamos uma falta de treinamento em HS entre os clínicos gerais.
