Introdução: O aparecimento do vírus SARS-CoV-2, em dezembro de 2019, uniu
médicos e investigadores, para mitigar os efeitos da doença. Face à rápida evolução
desta foram ativados planos de contingência e determinadas medidas para impedir a
disseminação do vírus. Embora ajudassem a controlar a propagação da doença,
fizeram com que certos distúrbios, psicológicos e temporomandibulares, afetasse uma
parte crescente da população.
Objetivo: Descrever e comparar o impacto dos períodos de confinamento obrigatório,
por causas relacionadas com a infeção por SARS-CoV-2, na saúde dos indivíduos.
Materiais e métodos: A população alvo do estudo é constituída pelos estudantes do
3º, 4º e 5º ano do Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Dentária da Faculdade Medicina
Dentária da Universidade Católica Portuguesa, no ano letivo 2021/2022. A avaliação
dos sintomas de DTM, dos comportamentos orais, da ansiedade e da depressão, foi
realizada usando questionários validados. Estudo aprovado pela Comissão de Ética
para a Saúde da Universidade Católica Portuguesa. Após a recolha dos dados, estes
foram transferidos para um ficheiro Excel e depois inseridos no programa SPSS®.
Todos os testes foram feitos com um limiar de significância de 95%.
Resultados: 98,2% dos alunos responderam ao questionário. Os distúrbios
temporomandibulares apresentaram uma prevalência de 35%, e a ansiedade e
depressão de 29% e 24%, respetivamente. Os resultados mostraram que o género
feminino foi o mais afetado pelos distúrbios psicológicos e pelos
temporomandibulares.
Conclusões: Foram identificadas correlações estatisticamente significativas entre
variáveis, como o género e a ansiedade, depressão e DTM, entre a ansiedade,
depressão e DTM, e entre a realização de comportamentos orais, a DTM e a
ansiedade e a depressão. As variáveis como a idade e o grau académico não
estabelecem relação estatisticamente significativa com os DTM, comportamentos
orais e as duas condições psicológicas.
Introduction: The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in December 2019 brought doctors and researchers together to mitigate the effects of the disease. Considering its rapid evolution, contingency plans were activated and certain measures were taken to prevent the spread of the virus. Although they helped to control the spread of the disease, they caused certain disorders, psychological and temporomandibular, to affect an increasing part of the population. Objective: To describe and compare the impact of periods of mandatory confinement for causes related to SARS-CoV-2 infection on the health of individuals. Materials and methods: The target population of the study consisted of 3rd, 4th and 5th year students of the Integrated Master's Degree in Dental Medicine at the Faculdade de Medicina Dentária of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa in the 2021/2022 academic year. TMD symptoms, oral behaviors, anxiety and depression were assessed using validated questionnaires. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee for Health of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa. After data collection, they were transferred to an Excel file and then entered into SPSS® software. All tests were performed with a significance threshold of 95%. Results: 98.2% of the students answered the questionnaire. Temporomandibular disorders had a prevalence of 35%, and anxiety and depression 29% and 24%, respectively. The results showed that the female gender was the most affected by psychological and temporomandibular disorders. Conclusions: Statistically significant correlations were identified between variables such as gender and anxiety, depression and TMD, between anxiety, depression and TMD, and between performing oral behaviors, TMD and anxiety and depression. The variables such as age and academic degree do not establish a statistically significant relationship with TMD, oral behaviors, and the two psychological conditions.
