■唇腭裂是由于在宫内生命的最初几周中额鼻突与上颌突缺乏结合而引起的相对频繁的颅面改变。这项研究评估了与秘鲁牙科学生对唇腭裂(CLP)患者的管理知识水平相关的社会人口统计学因素。
■这种分析,观察,横断面和前瞻性研究评估了191名牙科学生,他们属于秘鲁私立大学的两个分支(一个分支在首都,另一个分支在一个省),2022年9月至11月。使用了14个封闭式多项选择题的经过验证的问卷。使用Logit模型来评估变量的影响:性别,年龄,学年学习,婚姻状况,与CLP人员的关系,原产地和居住地,考虑P<0.05的显著性水平的学生的知识水平。
■在总数中,77%,22.5%和0.5%表现不佳,公平和良好的知识水平,分别,唇腭裂患者的牙科治疗。此外,那些生活在城市地区的人对CLP患者的牙科管理缺乏知识的可能性是其2.8倍,与非城市地区相比(OR=2.83;95%CI:1.26-6.33)。最后,性别,年龄,婚姻状况,原产地,研究的学年和与CLP人的关系不被认为是影响因素(p>0.05)。
■大多数学生对唇腭裂患者的牙科管理知识水平很差,一个风险因素是学生生活在城市地区。建议教育当局在与婴儿有关的科目中纳入有关CLP的选定主题,儿童和青少年护理。
UNASSIGNED: Cleft lip and palate are relatively frequent craniofacial alterations caused by the lack of union of the frontonasal processes with the maxillary processes during the first weeks of intrauterine life. This study evaluated the sociodemographic factors associated with the level of knowledge about management of cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients in Peruvian dental students.
UNASSIGNED: This analytical, observational, cross-sectional and prospective study evaluated 191 dental students belonging to two branches of a private Peruvian university (one branch in the capital city and the other in a province), from September to November 2022. A validated questionnaire of 14 closed multiple-choice questions was used. A logit model was used to evaluate the influence of the variables: sex, age, academic year of study, marital status, relationship with CLP persons, place of origin and area of residence, on the level of knowledge of the students considering a significance level of p<0.05.
UNASSIGNED: Of the total, 77%, 22.5% and 0.5% presented a poor, fair and good level of knowledge, respectively, on the dental management of the patient with cleft lip and palate. In addition, those who lived in urban areas were 2.8 times more likely to have poor knowledge about the dental management of patients with CLP, compared to those who lived in non-urban areas (OR = 2.83; 95% CI: 1.26-6.33). Finally, sex, age, marital status, place of origin, academic year of studies and relationship with CLP persons were not considered influential factors (p>0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Most of the students showed a poor level of knowledge about the dental management of patients with cleft lip and palate, a risk factor being that the students live in an urban area. It is recommended that educational authorities include selected topics on CLP in subjects related to infant, child and adolescent care.
