Bruxismo, Dentistas, Estrés Percibido, Salud Ocupacional, AutoinformeResumen
El estrés ocupacional representa un riesgo creciente entre los profesionales de la salud, siendo los dentistas particularmente vulnerables a demandas tanto físicas como emocionales. Una de sus posibles consecuencias clínicas es el bruxismo, definido como la actividad involuntaria de los músculos masticatorios que puede estar influida por factores psicológicos. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la relación entre el estrés percibido y el bruxismo autoinformado en dentistas de la ciudad de Puno, Perú, durante el año 2025. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, transversal y correlacional con una muestra de 219 participantes. Se utilizaron el Índice de Reactividad al Estrés (IRE-32) y una lista de verificación de bruxismo autoinformado de 15 ítems para evaluar las variables principales. Los resultados mostraron que el 38,4% de los participantes presentó un alto nivel de estrés percibido, y el 61,6% reportó algún grado de bruxismo, siendo la forma leve la más frecuente (31,9%). El análisis de correlación de Spearman evidenció una fuerte relación positiva entre ambas variables (rho = 0,689; p < 0,001), lo que indica que niveles más elevados de estrés percibido están asociados con una mayor severidad del bruxismo autoinformado. Estos hallazgos sugieren una asociación significativa entre ambas condiciones, la cual debe ser considerada en el diseño de estrategias de prevención y promoción de la salud orientadas al bienestar mental y musculoesquelético de los profesionales odontológicos. Debido al diseño transversal, estos resultados deben interpretarse como asociaciones y no como relaciones causales.
