“…Personality is one of the most important determinants influencing the behavior and functioning of an individual. Earlier research results confirm the influence of a type D personality on the occurrence of TMD symptoms of TMD during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 46 , 47 ]. According to the present study, people diagnosed with stress personality types reported a greater number of TMD symptoms compared to people without this personality trait ( p = 0.00).…”

Background: a type D personality is a factor in a person’s susceptibility to general mental stress, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although many studies were conducted on the relationships among stressful situations, an individual’s personality, depression, and the occurrence of various diseases, e.g., cardiovascular disease or cancer, there are no analogous data on people with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). Aim: the assessment of TMDs and depression symptoms in students with type D personality. Material and Methods: the research was carried out with the participation of 240 physiotherapy students. The study group (G1) consisted of 120 participants with type D personalities, the control group (G2) consisted of the same number of participants, without “stress” personalities. All subjects were assessed for the occurrence of TMD symptoms, as well as for depression and anxiety symptoms, using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), based on the proprietary questionnaire. Results: in students with type D personality symptoms, TMDs occurred significantly more often and in greater number (p = 0.00) than in those without stress personalities. The exception was the symptom of increased muscle tension, which showed no statistical difference (p = 0.22). Among the 240 respondents, depression was found in 128 people (53.3%). In the group of students with type D personalities, depression was significantly more frequent than in the group without type D personalities (p = 0.00). In participants with depression, TMD symptoms were more common, i.e., headaches, neck, and shoulder girdle pain, TMJ acoustic symptoms, increased masticatory muscle tension, teeth clenching, and teeth grinding. There was no significant difference between the incidence of depression and TMJ pain and jaw locking. There was a significant interaction between the occurrence of headaches and acoustic symptoms and the occurrence of depression. For headache and depression interactions, the OR was >1; based on the results, we may assume that a headache depends more on the occurrence of depression rather than it being a symptom of a TMJ disorder in people with type D personalities. Conclusion: type D personality and depression may contribute to the development of TMD symptoms.

“…According to Gębska et al, people with stressed personality (type D) had symptoms of SSD disorders significantly more often than in the group without stress personality traits. In the group of people with personality D, the most frequently reported symptoms of SS disorders were headache (51.3%), pain in the neck and shoulder girdle (43.1%), and tooth clenching (35.6%) [41]. In our study, a higher level of conscientiousness was statistically significantly associated with the occurrence of teeth clenching and a high level of neuroticism.…”

Background: Personality traits are one of the major factors influencing the behavior and functioning of an individual, and they play a crucial role in the development of psychosomatic disorders and diseases. This paper aimed to evaluate the importance of personality traits in temporomandibular disorder (TMDs) development using the NEO-FFI Personality Inventory by Paul Costa and Robert McCrae (the Five-Factor Model of Personality, known as the Big Five). Moreover, the relationship between personality type and the intensity of dysfunctional changes in the stomatognathic system was assessed using the NEO-FFI Personality Inventory by Paul Costa and Robert McCrae (the Five-Factor Model of Personality, known as the Big Five). Material and Methods: The study included a group of 75 adult participants (aged 19–52) with TMD diagnosed according to DC/TMD criteria and a control group of 75 participants without symptoms of dysfunction. The study consisted of a questionnaire and clinical study; the questionnaire included the NEO-FFI psychological questionnaire and a self-authored one. The clinical part consisted of extra- and intraoral dental examinations. Results: Participants who clenched their teeth showed a greater degree of conscientiousness than those who did not exhibit this symptom (p = 0.048). Presence of headaches was correlated with greater severity of neuroticism (p = 0.001). Moreover, participants with enamel cracks showed a lower intensity of extraversion (p = 0.039), and those with worn hard dental tissues showed a higher intensity of neuroticism (p = 0.03), a lower intensity of conscientiousness (p = 0.01), and a lower intensity of extroversion (p = 0.046). Acoustic symptoms during mandibular movements were found to be linked with a higher level of neuroticism (p = 0.020), a lower level of extraversion (p = 0.035), and a lower level of conscientiousness, whereas pain upon mandibular movements were linked to a lower level of conscientiousness (p = 0.025). Participants with pain upon palpation of the masticatory muscles showed a lower level of conscientiousness (p = 0.01) compared to those without pain symptoms. Episodes of mandibular blockage or problems with its adduction depend on the intensity of conscientiousness (p = 0.007). Moreover, people from the study group with high levels of neuroticism showed lower protrusion values (p = 0.016). Conclusion: The intensity of individual personality traits was found to be associated with some TMDs in comparison to healthy controls.

“…Teachers faced the challenge trying to teach the core competencies of their subjects through online teaching ( 7 , 8 ). In addition, the physiotherapy students had to cope with the psychosocial issues arising from the pandemic ( 9 , 10 ) while getting used to the new teaching modalities ( 6 ).…”

BackgroundBlended learning (BL) combines both face-to-face learning (FL) and online learning. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a BL intervention vs. a FL intervention in relation to the knowledge, competencies, satisfaction, perceptions, usability, and BL acceptance of physiotherapy students.MethodsAn assessor-blinded randomized trial was performed. A total of 100 students were randomly allocated to either the BL group (BLG, n = 48) or FL group (FLG, n = 52). The BLG received face-to-face classes plus access to online resources (online syllabus, Moodle, scientific-based videos and websites, activities, glossary, and apps). The FLG received face-to-face classes and hardcopy resources (hardcopy syllabus, scientific-based information, activities, and a glossary). Knowledge, ethical and gender competencies, satisfaction, perceptions, usability, and BL acceptance were assessed.ResultsThe BLG showed higher scores than the FLG for knowledge (p = 0.011), three ethical/gender competencies (p < 0.05), increased motivation to prepare themselves before class (p = 0.005), increased motivation and ability of thinking (p = 0.005), improved understanding of important topics (p = 0.015), course organization (p = 0.017), educational material (p = 0.001), easiness of understanding (p = 0.007), comprehensive coverage of the subject (p = 0.001), and clarity of instructions (p = 0.004), while usability was acceptable.ConclusionThe BL intervention can be used for improving the knowledge, competencies, perceptions, and satisfaction of the students. In addition, BL acceptance was positive, and usability was found to be acceptable. This study supports the use of BL as a pedagogical approach to foster innovative learning.
