Métodos: Estudio transversal y descriptivo realizado en un centro de recuperación para drogadicción en Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brasil, en 2015, com 39 hombres con más de 18 años. Los datos fueron recogidos a través de un cuestionario semiestructurado que investigaba la posición socioeconómica, la auto percepción de la salud general y bucal, El acceso al cuidado dental, la relación con el dentista y otros temas. Para evaluar la auto percepción de la salud bucal la variable fue dividida en “satisfactoria” y “no satisfactoria” la cual refiere a los conocimientos del individuo sobre la buena o mala condición de salud bucal utilizando la prueba de Exacto de Fisher con El 5% de nivel de significancia. Resultados: Las enfermedades más frecuentes fueron la depresión con el 35,90% (n=14), el insomnio con el 35,9%, (n=14) y dolor de cabeza recurrente (23,1%; n=9); sin embargo, el 61,50% (n=24) de los participantes relataron no enfermarse con facilidad lo que contrasta con su auto percepción. Respecto a la salud bucal, solamente el 30,50% (n=12) de los participantes relataron cepillar los dientes tres veces al día; El 53,80% (n=21) tuvieron hipersensibilidad dental; el 41,00% (n=16) tuvieron la sensación de boca seca y mal aliento; El 30,80% (n=12) reclamaron de bruxismo y relataron tener uno o más dientes perdidos; el 28,20% (n=11) relataron apretar los dientes de manera exagerada y el 33,30% (n=13) relataron tener dolor de diente. Conclusión: La auto percepción de los individuos - por abajo de los 30 años, solteros, blancos o mulatos - respecto su salud general fue contradictoria ya que clasificaron como buena aunque reportaron la depresión, el insomnio y La pérdida de peso; además, la salud bucal fue considerada pobre con condiciones no satisfactorias, las cuales resalta los efectos nocivos de la substancia abusiva.Objective: To report the self-perception of substance-abusing individuals who were in a recovery process regarding sociodemographic conditions and general and oral health. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in a recovery center for drug addiction in Alfenas, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2015, with 39 men aged over 18 years old. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire that addressed: socioeconomic status, selfperception of general and oral health, access to dental care, relationship with the dentist, and other issues. In order to assess the self-perception of oral health, the variable was dichotomized into “satisfactory” and “unsatisfactory”, which refer to what the individual acknowledges as a good or poor condition of oral health, using Fisher’s exact test with 5% significance level. Results: Most frequent diseases were depression, 35.90% (n=14), insomnia, 35.9%, (n=14) and recurring headache (23.1%; n=9); however, 61.50% (n=24) of the participants reported not getting sick easily, which contrasts with their self-perception. Regarding oral health, only 30.50% (n=12) of the participants reported brushing their teeth three times a day; 53.80% (n=21) had dentinal hypersensitivity; 41.00% (n=16) had dry mouth and bad breath; 30.80% (n=12) claimed to have bruxism and reported having one or more loose teeth; 28.20% (n=11) reported clenching the teeth in an exaggerated way, and 33.30% (n=13) reported feeling tooth pain. Conclusion: The self-perception of individuals – under 30 years old, single, white or mulattos – regarding their general health was contradictory, as they rated it as good but have reported depression, insomnia and weight loss; additionally, oral health was considered poor with unsatisfactory conditions, which highlights the harmful effects of substance abuse.Universidade de Fortaleza2015-12-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/394510.5020/18061230.2015.p479Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 28 No. 4 (2015); 479-486Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 28 Núm. 4 (2015); 479-486Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 28 n. 4 (2015); 479-4861806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORenghttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/3945/pdfSantos, Bianca Fernanda EspósitoDa-Ré, Eduardo LuizSilva, Gabriela PereiraBello, Gabriel FerreiraFernandes, Leandro AraújoDe Lima, Daniela Coelhoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-02-16T12:29:37Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/3945Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2022-02-16T12:29:37Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false |
