Resumo

Introdução: A saúde do pé é frequentemente negligenciada nos cuidados de saúde, apesar da sua importância para estudantes de enfermagem, que passam longos períodos em pé e a caminhar.

Objetivo: Explorar a relação entre a saúde dos pés, a qualidade de vida e os conhecimentos dos estudantes de enfermagem em contexto de ensino clínico.

Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo exploratório multimétodo sequencial com 54 estudantes, selecionados por amostragem intencional em bola de neve. A avaliação ocorreu no mês 0 e no mês 5 para analisar alterações na exposição clínica.

Resultados: Identificaram-se mudanças na qualidade de vida, especialmente em “dor/desconforto” e “ansiedade/depressão”. Problemas nos pés foram comuns, como pés frios (57,4%) e calos/calosidades (29,6%), com limitada consciência sobre deformidades estruturais. Destacaram-se correlações significativas, incluindo uma forte relação entre bolhas e “dor/desconforto” no mês 0 (0,614; p < 0,05), reduzindo-se no mês 5 (0,494; p < 0,01). A dor nos dedos apresentou uma correlação muito forte com “dor/desconforto” (0,926; p < 0,01), e a dor no tornozelo associou-se moderadamente a “problemas na realização das atividades habituais” (0,520; p < 0,05).

Conclusão: O estudo evidencia a relação entre a saúde dos pés e a qualidade de vida dos estudantes de enfermagem, recomendando intervenções ergonómicas e melhorias no calçado para promover o bem-estar físico e mental.
