Abstract
El objetivo del presente trabajo es analizar las variables estrés, síntomas de ansiedad y rasgos neuroticismo, en dos generaciones de una familia que autoinforman síntomas de bruxismo. Los puntajes de estrés obtenidos van de esperados a bajos. Los resultados muestran una correlación positiva y fuerte en: percepción de bruxismo con estrés (r s=.65), y en las sub-escalas de bruxismo del sueño (r s=.66), bruxismo en vigilia (r s=.56). Así como entre estrés y ansiedad (r s=.65), rasgo neuroticismo con estrés (r s=.74; p=.02) y bruxismo con neuroticismo (r s=.25). Las correlaciones no significativas, se deben al tamaño de muestra. La puntuación es similar entre H5 (madre) y S1 (hijo mayor); E1 (padre) con S2 (hijo), S3 (hijo menor) y H3 (hermana), así como entre H1, H2 y H4 (hermanas). Estos resultados fortalecen la asociación de bruxismo auto-informado con sensibilidad al estrés psicológico. Si bien el daño causado por bruxismo se relaciona al tiempo de padecerlo y si aprieta o rechina los dientes, los resultados obtenidos en esta familia muestran que a mayor puntuación de percepción de bruxismo, mas alta la puntuación de las variables psicológicas.
The aim of this study is to analyze the variables stress, symptoms of anxiety and neuroticism traits, across two generations of a family that self-report symptoms of bruxism. Stress scores obtained vary between expected to low, the results show a positive and strong correlation between scales: perception of bruxism with stress (r s = .652), and the subscales of sleep bruxism (r s = .665), awake bruxism (r s = .568). And between stress and anxiety (r = .654), neuroticism trait with stress (r = .747, p = .021) and bruxism with neuroticism (r s = .250). These correlations are not significant due to the size of the sample. The score is similar between H5 (mother) and S1 (oldest son); E1 (father) with S2 (son), S3 (youngest son), and H3 (sister). As well as between H1, H2, and H4 (sisters). These results strengthen the association of self-reported bruxism with sensibility to psychological stress. While the damage caused by bruxism is related at the time of suffering and when clenching or grinding teeth, results obtained in this family show that the higher the perception of bruxism scores, the higher the scores of psychological variables are.
