网络成瘾是一种精神病理学行为，它影响那些强迫性上网的人，通过搜索他们认为自己患有的不同病理的症状，当他们受到他们所读到的内容的影响时，他们确信自己患有其中一些疾病。本研究的目的是评估巴西和葡萄牙的牙医之间的cyberdysma水平和相关因素。共有597名巴西和葡萄牙牙医参加了这项横断面研究。于2021年1月17日至31日，在COVID-19大流行期间，他们通过WhatsApp联系并被要求在Google Forms平台上完成一份在线问卷。收集社会人口统计学信息，并使用葡萄牙语版本的网络成瘾严重程度量表测量网络成瘾。二元逻辑回归模型用于估计未调整和调整的比值比（OR）和相应的95%置信区间（CI），以确定cybertoxia和协变量之间的关联。将每个协变量单独纳入回归模型，并估计未校正OR（95% CI）。大多数参与者是巴西人（62.8%）、妇女（75.5%）、已婚（60.5%）和有子女（55.6%）。平均年龄为42.1岁（+12.5岁）。在最终的模型中，发现年龄每增加一岁，高水平cyberdroma的机会就会减少（OR=0.97; 95%CI 0.95-0.98）。巴西牙医比葡萄牙牙医更有可能（95% CI 1.25-2.75）具有高水平的cyberdysea。女性比男性有高水平网络成瘾的可能性高1.62倍（95% CI 1.07-2.44）。得出的结论是，在COVID-19大流行期间，年轻的年龄、巴西国籍和女性性别有利于该样本中参与者的高水平网络成瘾。
Cyberchondria is a psychopathological behavior that affects people who compulsively consult the internet, by searching the symptoms of different pathologies from which they believe they are suffering, and when influenced by what they read, are sure they have some of these diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the cyberchondria level and associated factors among Brazilian and Portuguese dentists. A total 597 Brazilian and Portuguese dentists participated in this cross-sectional study. They were contacted via WhatsApp and asked to complete an online questionnaire on the Google Forms platform, from January 17 to 31, 2021, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sociodemographic information was collected and cyberchondria was measured using the Portuguese language version of the Cyberchondria Severity Scale. Binary logistic regression models were used to estimate the unadjusted and adjusted Odds Ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association of cyberchondria and covariates. Each covariate was individually included in the regression model, and the unadjusted OR (95% CI) was estimated. Most participants were Brazilian (62.8%), women (75.5%), married (60.5%) and with children (55.6%). Average age was 42.1 years (+ 12.5). In the final model, it was found that with each increase of one year in age, the chance of a high level of cyberchondria decreased (OR=0.97; 95% CI 0.95-0.98). Brazilian dentists were 1.85 times more likely (95% CI 1.25-2.75) to have a high level of cyberchondria than Portuguese dentists. Women were 1.62 times more likely (95% CI 1.07-2.44) to have a high level of cyberchondria than men. It was concluded that young age, Brazilian nationality, and female gender favored the high level of cyberchondria among the participants in this sample during COVID-19 pandemic.
