Abstract
"To identify which criteria influenced the selection of patients by dentists in a city of Northeastern Brazil. A cross-sectional study was carried out by collecting data through a questionnaire, consisting of identification data and a case scenario, 308 respondents had to choose, by looking at photos of six supposed patients, the only one who should receive emergency dental treatment in a situation of scarce health resources. The absolute and percent frequencies were obtained for data analysis (descriptive statistical techniques). For the selection of the six patients, the most frequently chosen patient was the 50 year old white male (70.5%) followed by the female of African descent (12%). The dentist’s gender did not have a statistically significant effect on the choice of the patient (P=0.3366). Age was the most relevant criterion for the choice (46.4%) followed by the patient’s physiognomy (30.8%). There was no significant difference between age and choice of the patient (P=0.8133). However, there was a significant association between age and reason of choice (P=0.0258). Subjective criteria interfered in the choice: the first impression caused by different physical features" ["Para identificar qué criterios influenciaron a los dentistas en la selección de pacientes en una ciudad del Nordeste de Brasil, se realizó un estudio transversal recolectando datos mediante un cuestionario, consistente en datos de identificación y un caso escenario. 308 Respondientes tuvieron que elegir, observando fotos de seis supuestos pacientes, el único que debería recibir tratamiento dental de emergencia en una situación de escasos recursos de atención de salud. Se obtuvo mediante el análisis de los datos las frecuencias absolutas y de porcentaje (técnicas estadísticas descriptivas). En la selección de los seis pacientes, el elegido más frecuentemente fue un hombre blanco de 50 años (70,5%) seguido de una mujer de descendencia africana (12%). El género del dentista no tuvo un efecto estadísticamente significativo en la elección del paciente (P=0,3366). La edad fue el criterio más relevante de elección (46,4%) seguido de la fisionomía del paciente (30,8%). No existió diferencia significativa entre la edad y la elección del paciente (P=0,8133). Sin embargo, existió una asociación significativa entre la edad y la razón de elección (P=0,0258). Criterios subjetivos interfirieron en la elección: la primera impresión causada por diferentes características físicas"]
