Introdução: O objetivo deste estudo foi medir o impacto da qualidade de vida relativamente à saúde oral dos pacientes das clinicas pedagógicas de Medicina Dentária da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, aquando da sua admissão. Métodos: Foi feito um estudo transversal numa amostra não probabilística de 100 adultos, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 64 anos. Para medir o impacto da saúde oral na qualidade de vida foi utlizada o Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), instrumento previamente validado para a população portuguesa. As variáveis demográficas recolhidas foram género e idade. Foi feita uma análise descritiva de cada umas das dimensões da escala (Limitação Funcional, Dor Física, Desconforto Psicológico, Incapacidade Física, Incapacidade Psicológica, Incapacidade Social e Desvantagem). Foi feita também uma análise individual para cada uma das 14 questões. Para analisar diferenças nas médias de cada domínio entre géneros e entre grupos etários foram utilizados os testes Mann-Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: O score médio do OHIP-14 foi 19,40 (±14,30). A dimensão com uma média superior foi a Dor Física (4,17 DP±2,30), seguida pelo Desconforto psicológico (3,36±2,79). A média destes domínios foi significativamente superior no sexo feminino (Dor física (4,17±2,30) (p-0,048), Incapacidade física (3,11±2,86) (p-0,030). Conclusão: É necessário criar estratégias para entender e resolver os problemas na saúde oral dos utentes das Clinicas pedagógicas de Medicina Dentária da UFP, de modo a respondermos melhor as necessidades médico-dentárias da população.
Introduction: This study aimed to measure the oral health-related quality of life of the patients of the Pedagogical Dental Clinics’ of the Fernando Pessoa University, at the time of your admission. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a non-probabilistic sample of 100 adults, aged 18 to 64 years. Oral health-related quality of life was measured with the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) scale, previously validated in the Portuguese population. The demographic variables collected were gender and age. A descriptive analysis was done for each dimension (Functional Limitation, Physical Pain, Psychological Discomfort, Physical Disability, Psychological Disability, Social Disability and Handicap) and for the 14 questions of the scale. To analyze mean differences between genders and age group Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis testes were used. Results: The OHIP-14 mean score was 19.40 (±14.30). Physical Pain was the dimension with higher mean score (4.17SD±2.30), followed by Psychological Discomfort (3.36± SD2.79). In these domains the mean was significantly higher in females (Physical Pain (4.17±2.30) (p=0.048), Physical disability (3.11±2.86) (p=0,030).Conclusion: Physical Pain and Psychological Discomfort are important determinants of the oral health-related quality of life. It is important to create strategies to understand and solve the oral health problems of the users of Pedagogical Dental Clinics’ of the Fernando Pessoa University, as to better respond to the dental-medical needs of the population.
