Resumo: Introduction: Nurses play a crucial role in maintaining and promoting oral health. Evidence suggests that nurses do not prioritize oral care, have insufficient knowledge, and have had no training in this area during their undergraduate training. Objectives: To evaluate nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward oral hygiene in dependent patients. Methods: Observational and descriptive study, with data collection using an online self-completion questionnaire applied to 51 fourth-year undergraduate nursing students. Data regarding knowledge, attitudes, and practices, presented as frequencies, means, and standard deviation, were treated using SPSS, version 21. Results: Mean knowledge and attitudes of the participants were respectively 11.37 out of a maximum of 22 and 35.65 out of a maximum of 60. Conclusion: Participants value oral health in caring for hospitalized dependent patients; however, their knowledge and attitudes could be improved; thus, the need for research in this area emerges.

Los datos indican que las enfermeras no dan prioridad a los cuidados bucodentales, que sus conocimientos son insuficientes y que muchas de ellas no han recibido formación en este ámbito durante su formación de grado. Objetivos: Evaluar los conocimientos y las actitudes de los estudiantes de enfermería sobre la higiene bucal en personas dependientes. Métodos: Estudio observacional y descriptivo, con recogida de datos realizada a través de un cuestionario de autopreguntas online, aplicado a 51 estudiantes del cuarto año de la licenciatura en enfermería. Los datos relativos a los conocimientos, las actitudes y las prácticas, presentados como frecuencias, medias y desviación estándar, se trataron con el SPSS, versión 21. Resultados: La media de los conocimientos y las actitudes de los participantes fue respectivamente de 11,37 sobre un máximo de 22 y de 35,65 sobre un máximo de 60. Conclusión: Los participantes valoran la salud oral en el cuidado de la persona dependiente hospitalizada, mientras que sus conocimientos y actitudes pueden ser mejorados, de ahí que surja la necesidad de investigar en este ámbito.Introdução: Os enfermeiros desempenham um papel fundamental na manutenção e promoção da saúde oral. A evidência sugere que os enfermeiros não priorizam os cuidados orais, que detêm conhecimento insuficiente e que muitos não tiveram formação neste domínio durante a formação pré-graduada. Objetivos: Avaliar os conhecimentos e atitudes dos estudantes de enfermagem perante a higiene oral à pessoa em situação de dependência. Métodos: Estudo observacional e descritivo, com recolha de dados realizada através de um questionário de auto-preenchimento online, aplicado a 51 estudantes do quarto ano de licenciatura em enfermagem. Os dados relativos ao conhecimento e atitudes apresentados em frequências, médias e desvio padrão, foram tratados com recurso ao SPSS, versão 21. Resultados: A média de conhecimento e atitudes dos participantes foram, respetivamente, de 11,37 num máximo de 22 e 35,65 num máximo de 60. Conclusão: Os participantes valorizam a saúde oral no cuidado à pessoa dependente hospitalizada, no entanto, os seus conhecimentos e atitudes poderão ser melhorados, emergindo a necessidade de aprofundar o conhecimento neste domínio.    Polytechnic Institute of Viseu (IPV)2023-03-28info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.29352/mill0221.28497eng1647-662X0873-3015Oliveira, Isabel de JesusCoelho, Dalila SantosSilva, Andrea GodinhoFrança, Ana Filipa TerraCouto, Germano Rodriguesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-20T15:00:18Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/28497Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:48:07.113510Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
