■残疾患者口腔健康不平等,包括疾病患病率增加和未满足的医疗保健需求。这项研究的目的是评估位于首都的一所大学和秘鲁一个省的分支机构的牙科实习生和教授中与身体残疾患者的感知管理相关的因素。
■这个横截面,观察,分析研究包括100名牙科实习生和75名秘鲁牙科教授,于2022年1月至4月进行。使用经过验证的感知量表来评估残疾患者的管理。对于统计分析,本研究采用皮尔逊卡方检验和费舍尔精确检验,以及使用稳健方差的泊松回归模型。调整后的患病率比率(APR)用于评估感知,同时考虑性别、年龄,婚姻状况,origin,专业经验,以前对身体残疾患者的治疗,以及之前与残疾患者同居。显著性水平设定为p<0.05。
86%的牙科实习生和88%的牙科教授对管理残疾患者的看法很差,它们之间没有显着关联(p=0.698)。男性和女性牙科实习生在感知方面表现出显著差异(p=0.004),而其他变量无显著差异(p<0.05)。相反,牙科教授在分析的所有变量中显示出显著差异(p<0.05)。在牙科实习生中,性别被发现是唯一有影响的变量,与男性相比,女性对残疾患者管理不良的感知可能性要高41%(APR=1.41;95%CI:1.04-1.91)(p=0.028)。然而,性别不是牙科教授的重要因素(p=0.449).
■大多数牙科实习生和教授对管理残疾患者的看法很差,它们之间没有显著差异。此外,性别显著影响牙科实习生对管理身体残疾患者的看法。另一方面,无论是年龄,婚姻状况,origin,专业经验,以前对身体残疾患者的治疗,在牙科实习生和教授中,以前与残疾患者的同居也不是相关因素。
UNASSIGNED: Patients with disabilities experience oral health inequalities, including increased disease prevalence and unmet healthcare needs. The aim of this
study was to assess factors associated to the perceived management of patients with physical disabilities among dental interns and professors at a university located in the capital city and a branch in a province in Peru.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional, observational, and analytical
study included 100 dental interns and 75 Peruvian dental professors and was conducted from January to April 2022. A validated perception scale was used to evaluate the management of disabled patients. For the statistical analysis, the
study employed Pearson\'s chi-square test and Fisher\'s exact test, along with a Poisson regression model that used robust variance. The adjusted prevalence ratio (APR) was utilized to evaluate perception while taking into account factors such as gender, age, marital status, origin, professional experience, previous treatment of a patient with physical disability, and previous cohabitation with a disabled patient. The significance level was set at p < 0.05.
UNASSIGNED: The 86 % of dental interns and 88 % of dental professors had a poor perception of managing disabled patients, with no significant association between them (p = 0.698). Male and female dental interns displayed significant differences in perception (p = 0.004), while no other variables showed significant differences (p < 0.05). Conversely, dental professors displayed significant differences in all variables analyzed (p < 0.05). In dental interns, gender was found to be the only influential variable, with females having a 41 % higher likelihood of perceiving disabled patient management poorly compared to males (APR = 1.41; 95 % CI: 1.04-1.91) (p = 0.028). However, gender was not found to be a significant factor for dental professors (p = 0.449).
UNASSIGNED: The majority of dental interns and professors had a poor perception of managing disabled patients, with no significant differences observed between them. Moreover, gender significantly influenced the perception of managing patients with physical disabilities among dental interns specifically. On the other hand, neither age, marital status, origin, professional experience, previous treatment of a patient with physical disability, nor previous cohabitation with a disabled patient were found to be associated factors among dental interns and professors.
