Reconhecimento e avaliação da ansiedade em indivíduos com paralisia cerebral durante consultas odontológicas

2017 
Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar a correlacao entre a avaliacao da ansiedade realizada por meio de medidas fisiologicas e pela observacao do comportamento de pacientes com paralisia cerebral realizado pelo dentista durante a primeira consulta odontologica. Metodos: quarenta pacientes com idade variando de 7 a 26 anos, com paralisia cerebral foram submetidos a exames odontologicos. A pressao arterial e a frequencia cardiaca foram aferidas no inicio e no final da primeira consulta odontologica. O dentista avaliou o comportamento antes e apos o exame clinico dentario atraves da observacao do comportamento do paciente (inquietacao / agitacao / tiques nervosos, palidez, transpiracao excessiva, resistencia e mudanca aparente na frequencia respiratoria). Foi utilizado o teste de correlacao de Spearman para determinar a correlacao entre as medidas fisiologicas e a classificacao comportamental da ansiedade feita pelo cirurgiao dentista a um nivel de significância de 95%. Resultados: os sinais comportamentais mais frequentes foram inquietacao / agitacao / tiques nervosos (50,0%) e resistencia (27,5%). Foi encontrada uma correlacao positiva significativa entre os dois metodos de avaliacao de ansiedade utilizados (p Aim: The present study aimed to verify the correlation between the evaluation of anxiety performed through physiological measures and the observation of the behavior of patients with cerebral palsy performed by the dentist during the first dental visit. Methods: Forty patients with cerebral palsy, varying from seven to 26 years of age, were submitted to dental examinations. The blood pressure and heart rate were measured at the beginning and end of the first dental appointment. The dentist evaluated the behavior before and after the dental exam by observing the patient's behavior (restlessness / agitation / nervous tics, pallor, excessive perspiration, resistance, and apparent change in breathing rate). The Spearman correlation test was used to determine the correlation between the physiological measures and the behavioral classification of anxiety made by the dentist at a significance level of 95%. Results: The most frequent behavioral signs were restlessness / agitation / nervous tics (50.0%), and resistance (27.5%). Through the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman's correlation, a significant positive correlation was found between the two anxiety assessment methods used in this study (p
