Objective: To determine the association of the stress level, fatigue symptoms, and sleep quality with oral health behavior of preclinical pharmacy students. Material and Methods: Observational analytic study surveyed the students of the Faculty of Pharmacy of Hasanuddin University. From the total 205 sample of pharmacy students, 77 students drawn from the 2017 year of study, 68 students from the 2016 year of study, and 60 students from the 2015 year of study. The study consisted of 4 questionnaires, which are Perceived Stress Scale, Fatigue Assessment Scale, Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire and questions that assess oral health behaviors reported per individual. Data were collected and analyzed statistically using Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The level of significance was set at 5%. Results: The percentage of oral health behaviors in terms of the frequency of tooth brushing, use of dental floss, use of tongue cleaner and use of mouthwash increase as the year of study. In contrast to the percentage of stress level, awakening difficulties symptoms, sleep disturbance symptoms, daytime sleepiness symptoms and fatigue symptoms tended to decrease according to the year of study. Significant associations found among students who are under stress with the frequency of dental floss (p<0.05). However, no significant association was found between the fatigue symptoms, awakening difficulties symptoms, sleep disturbance symptoms, and daytime sleepiness symptoms with oral health behavior (p>0.05). Conclusion: There is an association between stress levels with the use of dental floss.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introducción: Estudiantes de odontología presentan altos niveles de estrés académico. El estudio de su relación con variables salutogénicas como el apoyo social, pensamiento positivo y bienestar psicológico podría ser de utilidad para su intervención, potenciar la función benéfica del estrés y evitar sus efectos adversos. Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de estrés académico y sus fuentes en estudiantes de odontología e identificar su asociación con el apoyo social, pensamiento positivo y bienestar psicológico. Establecer si el apoyo social, pensamiento positivo y bienestar psicológico son predictores del estrés académico en esta población. Método: Estudiantes de odontología completaron una batería con una ficha de identificación y los instrumentos Cuestionario de Estrés Académico en la Universidad (CEAU), Escala reducida de Apoyo Social Percibido, Familiar y de Amigos (AFA-R), Escala de Positividad (EP) y la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico para Adultos (BIEPS-A). Resultados: Participaron 146 estudiantes, 104 mujeres y 42 hombres. El nivel de estrés académico, el apoyo social y el pensamiento positivo fue moderado; mientras que el nivel del bienestar psicológico fue alto. Comparadas con hombres, las mujeres mostraron mayor estrés académico (p < 0,01) y menor bienestar psicológico (p < 0,05). El estrés académico correlacionó negativamente con el bienestar psicológico (r = -0,41) y el apoyo social (r = - 0,29) pero solo en mujeres. Una regresión lineal múltiple indicó que el bienestar psicológico (β = -0,27) y el sexo femenino (β = -0,26) fueron predictores del nivel de estrés académico (p = 0,01). Las situaciones que generaron mayor estrés fueron el desempeño académico y la perspectiva a futuro respecto a su profesión. Conclusiones: Identificar variables salutogénicas predictores del estrés académico favorece el diseño de estrategias de intervención que favorezcan el desarrollo positivo de estudiantes de odontología.

Sleep is very important for the normal functioning of any individual. However, with all the responsibilities we face as students, practitioners, academicians and family members, getting the recommended amount of sleep can be very hard. Insufficient sleep can severely impact the health and well being of an individual and bring down their potential to do work. This has negative effects on both individual and societal levels bringing down the quality as well as life span of useful human resources.The aim of this study is to determine the quality of sleep among dental students in South India.A survey was initiated for a randomly chosen dental student population of 100. A questionnaire was prepared involving questions assessing the sleep quality and all its various aspects. This questionnaire was then circulated to all the participants via online basis. The results obtained from the survey were compiled and analyzed.It was found that 70% of students had unpredictable sleeping patterns. 50% had disturbed sleep. Only 17% students reported that they felt fresh after receiving the recommended 8 hrs of sleep per day. 95% of students stayed up late at night. Sleep latency was found to be around 10 minutes to 1 hour for 85% students. 26% reported that they suffered from nightmares. 56% woke up at night for even the small sounds.This study concludes that dental students have a poor quality of sleep owing to their busy schedules, vast syllabus and loads of clinical and practical work.
