Resumen
Introducción: Las actitudes intervienen de manera decisiva en la aparición y el desarrollo de las enfermedades
bucodentales. El presente trabajo se propone analizar las actitudes de salud bucodental y su relación con el
nivel socioeconómico (NSE) en individuos adultos de la Ciudad de Corrientes; Argentina.
Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal. A través de una encuesta domiciliaria se recolectó información
referente a datos sociodemográficos y a actitudes de salud bucodental utilizando la técnica de observación
directa mediante entrevistador “cara a cara”. Se determinó el tamaño de la muestra estableciéndose un nivel
de confianza del 95% para la generalización de los resultados (381 individuos). Se aplicó un diseño muestral
aleatorio simple para la selección de las viviendas a encuestar, que se complementó con un muestreo no
probabilístico por cuotas para la selección de los individuos a entrevistar a partir de los datos proporcionados
por el censo 2010. Para el análisis de los datos se empleó el programa SPSS 21.0. Las diferencias según el
NSE se analizaron con la prueba Kruskall-Wallis, empleándose pruebas U de Mann-Whitney para valorar las
diferencias de a pares.
Resultados: Se halló que los individuos de NSE más bajo presentan actitudes de salud bucodental menos
favorables, en particular en lo que se refiere a la actitud frente al dolor dental y a los motivos por los cuales se
consulta generalmente al odontólogo.
Conclusiones: Los resultados de este trabajo pueden ser considerados como un recurso importante para
diseñar estrategias de intervención que contemplen los determinantes socioculturales del proceso saludenfermedad.
Introduction: Attitudes intervene decisively in the onset and development of oral diseases. This paper analyzes the attitudes toward the oral health and its relationship with socioeconomic status (SES) in adults from the city of Corrientes, Argentina. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was carried out. Information on sociodemographic and oral health attitudes was collected through a household survey using the technique of direct observation by the “face to face” interviewer. The sample size was determined by establishing a confidence level of 95% for the generalization of results (381 individuals). Simple random sampling design was used for the selection of households to be surveyed, which was supplemented with a non-probability sampling procedure for selecting individuals to be interviewed, based on data provided by the 2010 census. We used a SPSS 21.0 program for the analysis of data. Differences according to the socioeconomic level were analyzed with the Kruskal-Wallis test, using U Mann-Whitney tests to assess differences between pairs. Results: It was found that individuals from lower socioeconomic level have less favorable attitudes of oral health, particularly in regard to the attitude to dental pain and frequent reason to dentist consultation. Conclusion: The results of this work can be considered as an important resource to design intervention strategies that address the social and cultural determinants of health-disease process.
