Abstract(s)
Objetivo: Análise da interferência da autoperceção da saúde oral na qualidade de vida de uma
população geriátrica e avaliação da sua associação com variáveis sociodemográficas e
condições de saúde oral.
Métodos: Estudo transversal com uma amostra de idosos (≥65 anos), que frequentaram as
Clínicas Pedagógicas de Medicina Dentária da Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde da
Universidade Fernando Pessoa. Aplicou-se um questionário sobre Qualidade de Vida e Saúde
Oral - com questões relativas aos hábitos de saúde oral, de qualidade de vida e algumas
variáveis sociodemográficas - e o Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) -
avaliação da autoperceção da saúde oral e qualidade de vida associada. Os dados foram
tratados estatisticamente com um nível de significância de 0,05. A consistência interna foi
avaliada através do alfa de Cronbach e a relação entre as questões pelo rô de Spearman.
Resultados: Participaram 100 idosos com idade média de 72,5±5,7 anos. A maioria era do
género feminino, casado e com um nível de escolaridade de até 4 anos. A consistência interna
foi elevada (α de Cronbach=0,755). A relação entre a maioria dos itens é fraca ou moderada
(rs<0,500). O índice GOHAI em média foi moderado (31,03±4,7). O género e o estado civil
mostraram impacto no GOHAI. A faixa etária não.
Conclusão: O instrumento GOHAI permitiu identificar variáveis sociodemográficas e
variáveis diretamente relacionadas com a saúde oral que interferem na autoperceção da
população estudada. A utilização deste instrumento e os seus resultados contribuem para a
melhoria dos cuidados em saúde.
Objective: Analysis of the interference of oral health self-perception on the quality of life of a geriatric population and its association with sociodemographic variables and oral health conditions. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a sample of elderly (≥65 years), who attended the Clínicas Pedagógicas de Medicina Dentária da Faculdade de Ciências da Saúde da Universidade Fernando Pessoa. Was applied a questionnaire about Quality of Life - with questions about oral health habits, the quality of life, sociodemographic variables - and the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) - assessment of oral health self-perception and associated quality of life. Data were statistically treated with a significance level of 0.05. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and the relationship between issues by Spearman correlation. Results: In the study, 100 elderly participated with an average age of 72,5±5,7 years. The majority of them were females, married and studied up to 4 years. Internal consistency were high (Cronbach α=0,755). The relationship between the majority of the items were weak or moderate (rs<0,500). The average of the GOHAI index was moderate (31,03±4,7). The gender and the marital status had impact in the GOHAI. The age did not. Conclusion: The GOHAI allowed the identification of sociodemographic variables and variables directly related to oral health that interfere with its self-perception of oral health. Using this instrument will result in better health care.
