- The psychological impact of oral and maxillofacial trauma: a systematic reviewPublication . Pereira, Simone Gabriela Gomes; Pinho, Mónica MoradoObjective: Conducting a systematic review based on the PICO strategy (Population, Intervention, Control, Outcome), to evaluate the psychological impact of oral and maxillofacial trauma. Methods: The following databases were used in research: PUBMED, Cochrane Library and SciELO. Inclusion criteria was primary research articles, if they focused on the psychological impact of oral and maxillofacial trauma in individuals of any age, including a measurement of psychological outcomes such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder or quality of life. Exclusion criteria was studies not reporting psychological outcomes, not relating to facial trauma, studies that were too broad and studies that were not primary research articles. The risk of bias of the studies was assessed using the Cochrane ROBINS-2 tool. Results: After the initial search, 78 articles were retrieved, 68 were excluded. Total of 10 articles were included. Bias assessment indicated 5 articles with high risk of bias, 3 articles with low risk of bias and 2 articles posing some concern. Conclusion: The study concluded that the most effective way to evaluate the psychological impacts of oral and maxillofacial trauma is through the use of questionnaires and psychometric tools like the Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). These methods allow for reliable assessments of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression, ensuring consistency across diverse populations and facilitating the identification of trends. A review of psychological interventions revealed that therapeutic approaches, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and counseling, were more effective in reducing psychological distress compared to no intervention.
