(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-09-20) Esquivel Cuneo, Daniel Alejandro; Girano Castaños, Jorge Alberto
Due to daily work, difficulties arise in the musculoskeletal system that affect health within the workplace, especially in the dental field, as the dentist must use ergonomic factors to perform their work correctly. The aim of this study was to establish the dependence between the severity of musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomic factors in dental practice in the Ventanilla district, 2021. In this quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study, a simple random probabilistic sample of 120 licensed and registered dentists was selected, using a questionnaire with virtual questions through an online form. The results indicate that 7 dentists experience severe discomfort (>4 hours) while sitting in the ergonomic chair. It was determined that, among the sociodemographic characteristics of age, weight, sex, and height, 42.5% (51) were female, and 57.5% (69) were male, with ages ranging from 24 to 51 years and older. It was concluded that multiple ergonomic factors contribute to these injuries in the professional field, and a correlation between the injuries was found.

Objective: To assess the perception of personal risk of COVID-19 among graduates of the Dentistry School and its relationship with the work area. Methodology: The sample consisted of 118 graduates selected through simple random probabilistic sampling. A questionnaire-based survey was applied, sent virtually. Reliability (Cronbach's Alpha 0.90) and validity (expert judgment) were evaluated. Results: A moderate perception of personal risk of COVID-19 was obtained, based on the Morton and Duck scale. The results showed that 89.9% consider the disease severe, 69.4% are very concerned about being affected, 74.6% believe there is a high probability of being affected, 46.6% consider themselves high-risk individuals for COVID-19, 88.2% perceive dental practice as a personal risk, 81.3% consider their job as one with exposure risk, 33% report their mental health has been affected by the pandemic, 26.3% are concerned that their mental health diagnosis may influence their dental practice, 40.7% feel worried about the news, and 72% feel safe after receiving the vaccine. A significant relationship was found between the perception of personal risk of COVID-19 and the work area (p=0.049).

The objective was to evaluate the quality of information in YouTube videos about “COVID-19” and dental practice. This study was descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional, where a search was conducted on YouTube using relevant keywords, resulting in a total of 1,010 videos. These videos underwent an initial filter where those with the following characteristics were excluded: English language (n=17), duplicates (n=15), irrelevant content (n=31), and videos exceeding 20 minutes or conference videos (n=4). In the second filter, the modified DISCERN instrument was used to assess the information quality of the videos. The videos were classified as containing quality information according to the global scale, then scored to determine whether quality information existed, using the Likert-type Global Quality Scale. Of the 36 videos analyzed, 33 had incomplete information, with 5 (13.8%) being of poor quality, 28 (77.7%) being of very poor quality, and only 3 (8.3%) having complete information that met all 5 criteria of the global scale, representing videos with good quality information.
