Resumo: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is defined as a chronic disease resulting from retrograde flow, that presents part of the gastroduodenal content to the esophagus and organs adjacent to it. Thus, this study aims to assess the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and their impact on the quality of life of medical students from the 1st to the 8th period of a higher education institution in the Midwest region. This is an epidemiological, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, and quantitative study, with a sample size of 264 students. Regarding the prevalence of GERD symptoms, the greatest one is heartburn, followed by feeling bloated or full after a regular diet. Students who regularly practice physical exercise are less affected by GERD symptoms, and although some respondents take medication to control symptoms, most still report suffering from their presence. It was also shown an inverse relationship (protection factor) between the practice of physical exercise, medication use, and the presence of heartburn, regurgitation, chest pain, and bloating. Regarding the final score of the "GERD Score" questionnaire, an overall average of 5.068 was observed, a result that considers the impact of GERD symptoms to be significant. Regarding the "HBQOL" questionnaire, the general mean of the domains was 16.12, indicating an excellent quality of life. However, it was noticed that despite the average quality of life is good, the symptoms of GERD interfere in all domains of the quality of life of individuals.

Así, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar la prevalencia de síntomas de reflujo gastroesofágico y su impacto en la calidad de vida de los estudiantes de medicina del 1º al 8º período de una institución de educación superior en la región del Medio Oeste. Se trata de un estudio epidemiológico, observacional, descriptivo, transversal y cuantitativo, con una muestra de cálculo de 264 estudiantes. En cuanto a la prevalencia de síntomas de ERGE, el mayor es la acidez de estómago, seguida de la sensación de hinchazón o saciedad después de una dieta normal. Se demostró una relación inversa entre la práctica de relleno de ejercicio físico; y el uso de medicamentos y de la presencia de dolor del estómago, regurgitación, dolor de pecho e hinchazón. En cuanto a la puntuación final del cuestionario “GERD Score”, se observó una media global de 5,068, resultado que considera significativo el impacto de los síntomas de la ERGE. En cuanto al cuestionario “HBQOL”, la media general de los dominios fue de 16,12, lo que indica un excelente nivel de calidad de vida. Sin embargo, se observó que a pesar de que la calidad de vida de un promedio es buena, los síntomas de la ERGE interfieren en todos los dominios de la calidad de vida de los individuos.A Doença do Refluxo Gastroesofágico (DRGE) foi definida pelo como uma doença crônica consequente do fluxo retrógrado, apresentando parte do conteúdo gastroduodenal para o esôfago e/ou órgãos adjacentes a ele. Dessa forma, o presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a prevalência dos sintomas de refluxo gastroesofágico e seu impacto na qualidade de vida nos estudantes de medicina do 1º ao 8º período de uma instituição de ensino superior da região Centro-Oeste. Trata-se de um estudo epidemiológico, observacional, descritivo, transversal e de natureza quantitativa e apresenta um cálculo amostral de 264 estudantes. Em relação a prevalência dos sintomas da DRGE, a maior delas a azia, seguido de se sentir estufado ou cheio após uma alimentação normal. Estudantes que praticam exercícios físicos regularmente são menos acometidos pelos sintomas de DRGE, e, apesar de alguns entrevistados tomarem remédio para controle dos sintomas, a maioria ainda relata sofrer com a presença destes. Mostrou-se ainda uma relação inversa (fator de proteção) entre pratica de exercício físico estufamento; e uso de medicamentos e a presença de azia, regurgitação, dor no peito e estufamento. Em relação ao escore final do questionário “GERD Score” foi observado uma média geral de 5,068, resultado que considera significativo o impacto dos sintomas da DRGE. Já sobre o questionário “HBQOL”, a média geral dos domínios foi de 16,12, indicando ótimo nível de qualidade de vida. Entretanto, percebeu-se que apesar da média da qualidade de vida ser boa, os sintomas da DRGE interferem em todos os domínios de qualidade de vida dos indivíduos.Research, Society and Development2021-11-06info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/2189910.33448/rsd-v10i14.21899Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 14; e392101421899Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 14; e392101421899Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 14; e3921014218992525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/21899/20433Copyright (c) 2021 Thais Carolina Alves Cardoso; Lygia Gomes Fleury; Júlia Cândido Carvalho; Raphael Machado Carneiro; Alane Franco Lins; Bianca Rosa Rodrigues Rebelo; Danúbio Antônio de Oliveirahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCardoso, Thais Carolina AlvesFleury, Lygia Gomes Carvalho, Júlia Cândido Carneiro, Raphael Machado Lins, Alane Franco Rebelo, Bianca Rosa RodriguesOliveira, Danúbio Antônio de 2021-12-04T11:48:39Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/21899Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:41:12.983625Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
