Saúde Bucal
Resumo:
A Saúde do Trabalhador tem sido objeto de inúmeros estudos devido, principalmente, à preocupação de que o trabalhador tenha boas condições de trabalho e uma qualidade de vida satisfatória. O presente estudo objetiva analisar o impacto das condições de saúde bucal na qualidade de vida de trabalhadores de uma universidade pública através do Oral Health Impact Profile, na sua versão reduzida (OHIP-14), e fatores associados. Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 326 trabalhadores que responderam às questões do índice OHIP-14, de autopercepção de saúde, morbidade bucal autorreferida, uso de serviços odontológicos e questões socioeconômicas e demográficas. Através da análise de regressão linear múltipla foi feita a associação entre as variáveis independentes e o OHIP-14. Cerca de 40% do impacto das condições de saúde bucal na qualidade de vida pode ser explicado pelas variáveis: escolaridade (p = 0,03), idade (p = 0,03), motivo da consulta odontológica (p = 0,01), percepção de saúde bucal (p < 0,01) e satisfação com dentes e boca (p < 0,01). A utilização do OHIP-14 pode ser útil para o planejamento de programas e ações focados na educação em saúde, voltados para a saúde do trabalhador, priorizando trabalhadores com maiores impactos psicossociais produzidos pelos problemas bucais.

Abstract:
The occupational health has been object of numerous studies, mainly because of the concern that the worker has good conditions of work and a satisfactory quality of life. This study aim to analyze the impact of oral health on quality of life of workers at a public university through the Oral Health Impact Profile in its reduced version (OHIP-14) and the associated factors that impact. A cross-sectional study was made with 326 workers that responded questions of the OHIP-14, about self-rated health, morbidity buccal, and questions socioeconomic and demographic. The analysis multiple linear regression was performed to verify the association between the independent variables and the OHIP-14.. About 40% of the impact of oral health on quality of life can be explained by the variables: education level (p = 0,03), age (p = 0,03), reason for visiting a dentist (p = 0,01), oral health perception (p < 0,01) and satisfaction with teeth and mouth (p < 0,01). The use of OHIP-14 can be useful for planning programs and actions focused on the health education for worker health, prioritizing workers with greater psychosocial impacts produced by oral problems.
