Objetivo: estudo epidemiológico transversal com vista à avaliação da associação entre
comportamentos orais e sofrimento psicoemocional (ansiedade e depressão) nos estudantes
do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Dentária da Universidade Fernando Pessoa.
Métodos: 106 estudantes foram avaliados pelo autopreenchimento da versão portuguesa dos
questionários: Oral Behaviors Checklist-21 e Patient Health Questionnaire-4. Os resultados
da Oral Behaviors Checklist foram avaliados pela soma dos 21 itens (0 a 4 pontos cada item)
que varia entre 0-84 pontos; o sofrimento psicoemocional foi avaliado pelo Patient Health
Questionnaire-4, numa escala de 0 - 12 pontos (0 a 3 pontos cada item) e por categorias (3
pontos ≤ sofrimento suave < 6 pontos; 6 pontos ≤ sofrimento moderado < 9 pontos;
sofrimento severo ≥ 9 pontos). Para todas as análises estatísticas, o nível de significância foi
de 0,05 e utilizou-se o IBM® SPSS Statistics, versão 25.0.
Resultados: 100% dos estudantes tinha pelo menos um comportamento oral; 34,9% da
população apresentava sofrimento psicológico suave, 11,3% sofrimento moderado e 3,7%
sofrimento severo. A média da soma da Oral Behaviors Checklist foi significativamente
diferente entre grupos de sofrimento psicológico (ANOVA, p = 0,010) mas mais elevada
para o grupo do sofrimento moderado que para o grupo de sofrimento suave ou sem
sofrimento psicológico (Scheffé Test p ≤ 0,040), não se verificando o mesmo para o grupo
de sofrimento psicológico severo.
Conclusões: Dentro das limitações deste estudo, não foi conclusiva a associação entre a soma
da Oral Behaviors Checklist e as diferentes categorias de sofrimento psicológico.
Objective: Cross-sectional epidemiological study to evaluate the association between oral behavior and psychoemotional suffering (anxiety and depression) in the students of the Integrated Master of Dentistry at Fernando Pessoa University. Methods: 106 students were evaluated by self-filling the Portuguese version of the questionnaires: Oral Behaviors Checklist-21 and Patient Health Questionnaire-4. The results of the Oral Behaviors Checklist were evaluated by the sum of 21 items (0 to 4 points each item) ranging from 0-84 points; psychoemotional suffering was evaluated by the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 on a scale of 0 - 12 points (0 to 3 points each item) and by categories (3 points ≤ mild suffering < 6 points; 6 points ≤ moderate suffering < 9 points; severe suffering ≥ 9 points). For all statistical analyses, the significance level was .05 and IBM® SPSS Statistics, version 25.0 was used. Results: 100% of the students had at least one oral behavior; 34.9% of the population presented mild psychological suffering, 11.3% moderate suffering and 3.7% severe suffering. The mean sum of the Oral Behaviors Checklist was significantly different between groups of psychological distress (ANOVA, p = .010) but higher for the group of moderate distress than for the group of mild or no psychological distress (Scheffé Test p ≤ .040), and not the same for the group of severe psychological distress. Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the association between the sum of Oral Behaviors Checklist and the different categories of psychological suffering was not conclusive.
