Resumen
Objetivo: Identificar factores asociados a la adherencia a protocolos de bioseguridad en estudiantes de odontología de la Universidad Santo Tomás. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio analítico de corte transversal realizado en estudiantes de odontología, quienes respondieron un cuestionario validado con preguntas tipo Likert, sobre adherencia a protocolos de bioseguridad, aplicado en línea a través de Google forms. Los datos cualitativos se presentaron con frecuencias absolutas y porcentajes; los datos cuantitativos se resumieron con medidas de tendencia central y de dispersión, conforme al comportamiento de la normalidad. El puntaje del cuestionario se tomó como variable dependiente y se evaluó frente a variables sociodemográficas con la prueba de Kruskal Wallis. Valores p< 0,05 fueron de significancia estadística. El estudio contó con el aval de comité de investigación y concepto ético favorable. La información se procesó en el programa Stata 14.2. Resultados: Un total de 135 estudiantes participaron en el estudio, con predominio de mujeres (71,9%) y edad promedio 22,3 años. El 77% de estudiantes presentaron adherencia a protocolos de bioseguridad alta-moderada. La edad mayor a 23 años y el sexo femenino se comportaron como factores asociados a mejor adherencia. Conclusiones: Se encontró adecuada adherencia a los protocolos de bioseguridad de las clínicas odontológicas, donde la edad y el sexo se constituyen en factores determinantes a la adherencia por parte de los estudiantes.
Objective: Identify factors associated with adherence to biosafety protocols in dental students at the Santo Tomás University. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional analytical study carried out on dental students, who answered a validated questionnaire with Likert-type questions, on adherence to biosafety protocols, applied online through Google forms. Qualitative data were presented with absolute frequencies and percentages; The quantitative data were summarized with measures of central tendency and dispersion, in accordance with the behavior of normality. The questionnaire score was taken as the dependent variable and was evaluated against sociodemographic variables with the Kruskal Wallis test. Values p < 0.05 were of statistical significance. The study had the endorsement of a research committee and a favorable ethical concept. The information was processed in the Stata 14.2 program. Results: A total of 135 students participated in the study, with a predominance of women (71.9%) and an average age of 22.3 years. 77% of students adhered to high-moderate biosafety protocols. Age over 23 years and female sex were factors associated with better adherence. Conclusions: Adequate adherence to the biosafety protocols of the dental clinics was found, where age and sex are determining factors for adherence by the students.
