SARS-CoV-2是导致呼吸道疾病COVID-19爆发的一种新病毒，该病毒已蔓延到世界各地的几个国家，引起了相当大的恐慌和对全球医疗机构传染病的恐惧。这项研究的目的是确定在马德里的成年人口中，COVID-19对自我感知的脆弱性、传染性、对细菌的厌恶以及当前牙科实践情况下的其他行为的影响。这项横断面观察性研究涉及2020年3月1日至3月8日期间在西班牙马德里街头随机调查的1,008人。他们对疾病的感知脆弱性使用感知脆弱性疾病量表进行测量。另一份调查问卷评估了基本的社会人口学方面、病史、个人卫生行为、去某些地方的意愿以及去牙科诊所时对传染风险的看法。在细菌厌恶子量表（p < 0.05）、候诊室等待风险（p < 0.01）、拔牙风险（p < 0.05）、牙髓病风险（p <0.05）和补牙风险（p < 0.05）上，性别差异具有显著性。妇女认为风险比男子高。高危组（60岁以上且有全身性疾病）在传染性（p < 0.01）和细菌厌恶（p < 0.01）两个分量表上差异有统计学意义。我们的研究显示，60岁以上患有全身性疾病的人群在感染COVID-19和避免牙科护理方面的脆弱性很高。
SARS-CoV-2 is a new virus responsible for the outbreak of the respiratory disease COVID-19, which has spread to several countries around the world, causing considerable consternation and a fear of contagions in global healthcare settings. The objective of this study is to identify, among Madrid's adult population, the impact of COVID-19 on self-perceived vulnerability, infectiousness, aversion to germs, and other behaviors in the current situation regarding dental practice. This cross-sectional observational study involves 1,008 persons randomly surveyed on the streets of Madrid, Spain between March 1 and March 8, 2020. Their perceived vulnerability to disease was measured using the perceived vulnerability to disease scale. An additional questionnaire evaluated basic sociodemographic aspects, medical history, personal hygiene behavior, willingness to go to certain places and the perception of the risk of contagion when going to a dental practice. There are significant differences by sex on the germ aversion subscale (p < 0.05) and in the risk of waiting in the waiting room (p < 0.01), tooth extraction ((p < 0.05), endodontics (p < 0.05) and fillings ((p < 0.05). Women consider the risk to be higher than men do. The risk group (over 60 and with systemic disease) has significant differences on the subscales of infectivity (p < 0.01) and germ aversion (p < 0.01). Our study shows high levels of vulnerability regarding contracting COVID-19 and avoiding dental care as perceived by the population over 60 years old and with a systemic disease.
