RESUMEN

Desde a sua regulamentação profissional, a Odontologia passou por muitas mudanças até sua consolidação. O aumento indiscriminado e sem planejamento da oferta de cursos de Odontologia resultou em um crescimento exagerado do número de profissionais no mercado de trabalho, culminando no atual momento de saturação e de acelerada reorganização do curso. Tais mudanças não se limitaram ao desenvolvimento tecnológico e científico. Observou-se, também, alteração no perfil do estudante e do profissional de odontologia no decorrer deste percurso, portanto essa pesquisa tem o objetivo de conhecer o perfil da força de trabalho dos profissionais graduados e verificar a inserção regional do Curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES). Este estudo quantitativo de natureza descritiva e exploratória analisou o perfil profissional e sociodemográfico de 533 egressos do Curso de Odontologia da UFES entre 2008 e 2018, a partir do banco de dados do Conselho Regional de Odontologia do Espírito Santo e do DATASUS. Como resultados observou-se uma maioria feminina (70%), comidade entre 25-40 anos, ativos na Odontologia (85,1%), atuando no estado no setor privado. A maioria é formada por clínicos gerais (65,2%), mas existe uma tendência à especialidade que, quando presente, concentra-se na Ortodontia, Endodontia, Prótese e Implantodontia. Os resultados confirmaram a importante inserção regional do Curso de Odontologia da UFES no desenvolvimento local. Entretanto, apesar das Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais direcionarem para um perfil generalista, voltado para a coletividade, constata-se maior tendência ao mercado privado, possivelmente pelos honorários mais atrativos (AU).

Los resultados confirmaron la importante inserción regional de la Carrera de Odontología de la UFES en el desarrollo local. Sin embargo, a pesar de que los Lineamientos Curriculares Nacionales apuntan hacia un perfil generalista, dirigido a la comunidad, existe una mayor tendencia hacia el mercado privado, posiblemente por las tarifas más atractivas (AU).

Since its professional regulation, Dentistry has undergone many changes until its consolidation. The indiscriminate and unplanned increase in the offer of Dentistry courses led to a marked growth in the number of professionals in the job market, culminating in the current moment of saturation and accelerated reorganization of the course. Such changes were not limited to technological and scientific development; changes were also observed in the profile of students and dental professionals during this course. Thus, this study investigated the profile of the workforce of graduated professionals and verified the regional insertion of the Dentistry Course at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES). This quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study analyzed the professional and sociodemographic profile of 533 graduates of the Dentistry Course at UFES between 2008 and 2018, based on the database of the Regional Dental Council of Espírito Santo and DATASUS. As a result, there was majority of females (70%), aged between 25-40 years, active in Dentistry (85.1%), working in the state in the private sector. The majority is formed by general practitioners (65.2%), but there is a tendency to specialize which, when present, focuses on Orthodontics, Endodontics, Prosthodontics and Implantology. The results confirmed the important regional insertion of the UFESDentistry Course in local development. However, despite the National Curriculum Guidelines directing towards a generalist profile, aimed at the community, there is a greater tendency towards the private market, possibly due to the more attractive incomes (AU).

RESUMEN

ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify the instruments used to measure the quality of life related to oral health (HRQoL) as well as the measures that were adapted for the Portuguese language of Brazil. This is an integrative review whose inclusion criteria were papers in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published and indexed in databases Medline (PubMed) and Virtual Health Library (BVS). One thousand two hundred and sixty papers submitted, fifty-five were considered eligible for review, from which the following information was extracted: instrument; composition; community; sample size; measured domains / dimensions; and author, year, country. Subsequently, the data related to the translation and cultural adaptation processes for the Portuguese language of Brazil were collected in order to evaluate the psychometric properties of each study. The studies of this review show that the HRQoL theme has remained in evidence since the creation of the first instruments and seems not to be close to being exhausted. Of the 36 instruments presented, only 17 articles were identified in the databases assessed for cross-cultural adaptation to Brazilian Portuguese and validation of psychometric properties. Thus, despite the enormous dissemination of instruments, the need for translation, adaptation in the language and analysis of psychometric properties was pointed out in this study.

RESUMO Objetivou-se identificar os instrumentos utilizados para medir a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) bem como as medidas que foram adaptadas para a língua portuguesa do Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, cujos critérios de inclusão foram artigos nos idiomas português, inglês e espanhol, publicados e indexados nas bases de dados Medline (PubMed) e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Dentre os 1.260 artigos levantados, 55 foram considerados elegíveis para a revisão dos quais se extraíram as seguintes informações: instrumento; composição; público-alvo; tamanho da amostra; domínios/dimensões medidas; e autor, ano, local. Posteriormente, foram levantados os dados referentes aos processos de tradução e adaptação cultural para o idioma português do Brasil com a finalidade de avaliar os dados referentes às propriedades psicométricas de cada estudo. Os estudos desta revisão mostram que a temática QVRSB se mantem em evidência desde a criação dos primeiros instrumentos e parece não estar perto de se esgotar. Dos 36 instrumentos apresentados, apenas 17 artigos foram identificados nas bases de dados avaliadas quanto a adaptação transcultural para o idioma português do Brasil e validação das propriedades psicométricas. Assim, apesar da enorme difusão de instrumentos, a necessidade de tradução, adaptação no idioma e análise das propriedades psicométricas foi apontada neste estudo.

RESUMEN

Introdução: A situação atual caracterizada por uma pandemia causada pela cepa de coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) estabelece essa crise de saúde pública como uma calamidade de preocupação global, devido à alta virulência e ao elevado poder de disseminação desse novo vírus na população, fator este que está desencadeando grandes transtornos de ansiedade não só na população, mas também nos profissionais da área da saúde. Objetivo: Analisar os níveis de ansiedade em professores do curso de Odontologia da Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES) durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Material e método: Estudo transversal no qual foram avaliados os níveis de ansiedade de acordo com a presença de sintomas de ansiedade em 48 professores do curso de Odontologia da UFES que responderam a dois questionários autoaplicáveis: o questionário Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) e outro questionário que caracterizou o perfil sociodemográfico dos respondentes no período de 30 de agosto de 2020 a 30 de outubro de 2020. Foram utilizados estatística descritiva e os testes qui-quadrado e o exato de Fisher para analisar as associações entre as variáveis, e também o Odds Ration. Resultado: Os resultados demonstraram que a maioria dos docentes - n=20, (41,7%) - apresentam pelo menos um nível de ansiedade e sintomatologias referentes a essa condição, porém, sem diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Conclusão: Constata-se que, frente às demandas atuais, precisam estimular a construção crítica dos indivíduos para que aprendam a conviver na sociedade como sujeitos conscientes, reflexivos e participativos, mas para isso é fundamental que também estejam física e mentalmente saudáveis.

Introduction: The current situation characterized by a pandemic caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) establishes this public health crisis as a global calamity, due to the increased virulence and higher transmissibility of this new variant of the CoV virus, a factor which is triggering major anxiety disorders, not only in the general population, but also among health professionals. Objective: To analyze the levels of anxiety in professors of the Dentistry Course at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES) during the COVID-19 outbreak. Material and method: This is a cross-sectional study, in which anxiety levels were evaluated according to the presence of symptoms in 48 professors of the Dentistry course at UFES who answered two self-administered questionnaires: the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) scale and another survey that aimed to identify the sociodemographic profile of the participants, the present study was conducted from August 30, 2020 to October 30, 2020. Descriptive statistics, chi-squared and Fisher's exact tests were used to analyze the associations between the variables as well as the odds ratio. Result: The results showed that most professors - n=20, (41.7%) - do experience at least one level of anxiety and symptoms related to this condition, albeit, without statistically significant differences. Conclusion: It appears that in the face of current demands, we need to stimulate the construction of critical thinking so that people may learn to live in society as conscious, thoughtful and proactive individuals, furthermore, it is essential that they are both physically and mentally healthy.

RESUMEN

Objective: To evaluate the impact on quality of life caused by oral health problems among administrative sector employees of a mixed-economy company, residents in Vitória, Brazil. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study used a random sample of 167 individuals. Quality of life measured by the subjective indicator OHIP-14, was the outcome considered; independent variables were sociodemographic, oral health dental services use and perceived prosthesis need. OHIP evaluates impairments in the three dimensions of social, psychological and physical functional conditions. To evaluate differences between groups, Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Tests were used (p<0.05). To assess the strength of association, Odds-Ratio was calculated. Results: The health professional most sought by individuals in the last 12 months was the dentist (88.5%), agreed by the company (62.6%) due to prevention reasons (62.6%). The prevalence of impact caused by oral health problems was 7.8% and most recorded dimensions were physical pain (6%) and psychological discomfort (5.4%). Impact perception was greater among individuals who declared need for partial removable denture at functional limitation and psychological incapacity dimensions. Subjects that used urgency oral health services presented more impact at psychological discomfort dimension. Conclusion: The impact frequency was low. Objective and subjective measures can provide accurate analysis to support health policies directed to the real population needs.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Oral complications may be observed during chemotherapy and are important side effects that may directly affect the anticancer treatment, even causing septicaemia in some cases. This research was done in order to evaluate changes in oral lesions during follow-up of children and adolescents in chemotherapy at Hospital Estadual Infantil Nossa Senhora da Glória (HEINSG). METHODS: The study design was longitudinal, 45 patients were evaluated and monitored for 1 month after the initiation of chemotherapy. Twenty-eight patients were male and 17 female, ranging from 3 months to 18 years old. RESULTS: The results show an increase in the number of mucositis cases and a decrease in xerostomia cases after the initiation of treatment, and other oral lesions were also found in low numbers. CONCLUSIONS: It is possible to avoid oral complications by maintaining a good oral health, and reducing infectious outbreaks. It is also feasible to obtain an early diagnosis of, and treat these oral complications, preventing them from following a more severe clinical course that may negatively affect the individual's treatment. This outcome requires the presence of a dental surgeon on the multidisciplinary cancer treatment team.

RESUMEN

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a prevalência de impactos dos problemas bucais na qualidade de vida e associação com variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas e utilização de serviços por adultos e idosos de Marechal Floriano, ES. MÉTODOS: Este estudo transversal utilizou uma amostra aleatória de 237 indivíduos. Foram utilizados roteiros para a coleta de dados incluindo o perfil do impacto de saúde bucal (OHIP-14). Os testes qui-quadrado e exato de Fischer (p<0,05) verificaram associações entre cada variável independente e as dimensões do OHIP. Para avaliar a força da associação entre evento e exposição foi calculado o Odds-radio. A análise de regressão logística foi realizada para valores significantes até 10 por cento. O pacote estatístico utilizado foi SPSS versão 15. RESULTADOS: A maior percepção de impacto foi encontrada em indivíduos com mais de 40 anos (OR= 2,37), com necessidade declarada de prótese parcial removível (OR= 2,771), e de prótese total removível (OR= 2,292). CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de impacto observada foi de 35 por cento e associada à faixa etária e à necessidade declarada de prótese. Indicadores subjetivos devem ser utilizados de forma complementar aos indicadores objetivos para determinar a necessidade de tratamento, melhorando a saúde bucal e a qualidade de vida das pessoas.

The scope of this paper was to evaluate the prevalence of the impact of oral health problems on quality of life, and its association with socio-demographic and clinical variables and the use of dental services by adults and the elderly in Marechal Floriano. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a random sample of 237 participants. Data was collected by Municipal Community Health Agents using four questionnaires with items about the socio-demographic and oral health status of the participants, dental practice structure and oral health impact profile (OHIP-14). The greatest impact perception related to oral health problems was found in individuals over 40 years of age (OR= 2.37 IC 95 percent=1.375;4.098), those with a perceived need for removable partial dentures (OR= 2.771 IC 95 percent=1.488;5.162), and full removable dentures (OR= 2.292 IC 95 percent=1.305;4.026). The impact prevalence was of 35 percent and revealed an association with age and the perceived need for partial and full dentures. Subjective indicators must be used in conjunction with objective indicators to determine the population's treatment needs, thereby improving oral health and quality of life of the population.
