About this study
Official title: The Body Awareness and Its Relationship Musculoskeletal Problems in Dentistry Students and Dentists
The current study aims to comparison the body awareness and musculoskeletal problems of 1st dentistry students, intern students and working dentists and also investigate the factors affecting the body awareness over the years in dentistry profession.
Read the detailed description
Dentists also have the highest prevalence among the occupational groups providing health services. More than 60% of dentists have pain in at least one of their body parts.Pain due to musculoskeletal disorders can affect body awareness of person have chronic pain. Body awareness is known as the capacity to distinguish body parts and has an important role in promoting well-coordinated movements. The current study aims to comparison the body awareness and musculoskeletal problems of 1st dentistry students, intern students and working dentists and also investigate the factors affecting the body awareness over the years in dentistry profession.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Body Awareness Questionnaire
The questionnaire includes physical, emotional and social elements about the sensitivity of a person to normal or abnormal body conditions and processes and questioning the sensitivity to physical reactions. Participants were asked to rate between 1 and 7 for each of the 18 statements (1=Not at all relevant to me, 7=Very appropriate to me). The total score ranges from 18 to 126. As the score increases, BA increases.
Measured: At baseline
Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire
The questionnaire, was developed by Nordic Council of Ministers in 1987, evaluates musculoskeletal pain intensities of nine body parts; neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, upper and lower back, hip, knee and ankle in the last seven days. Pain intensities were questioned according to Visual Analog Scale.
Measured: At baseline
Secondary outcomes (5)
Oswestry Disability Index
Oswestry Disability Index assesses ten different aspects of disability (pain, personal care, lifting, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, walking, and travelling). Each parameter is scored from 0 to 5 (0; no functional limitation due to pain, 5; a significant functional disability due to low back pain). This questionnaire is scored using a global percentage score. The obtainable maximum score is 50.
Measured: At baseline
Neck Disability Index
It is the most commonly used outcome measure for neck pain and it contains 10 subsections consisting of severity of pain, personal care, lifting, reading, headache, concentration, work, driving, sleeping, and leisure activities. The questions are measured between 0-5 points (0: no pain and functional limitation, 5: worst pain and maximal limitation). The numeric response for each item is summed for a score varying from 0 to 100.
Measured: At baseline
Hospital Anxiety-Depression Scale
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale is used for assessing the anxiety and depression levels of the patients. The items were scored from 0-3 (0: not present, 3: considerable). The cutoff scores were 10 for anxiety and 7 for depression. A high score indicates the risk of anxiety and depression.
Measured: At baseline
Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia
Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale was used for evaluating kinesiophobia. Each item was scored on a Likert scale (1; Strongly disagree, 4; Totally agree) was used. Scores between 17 and 68 are obtained from the questionnaire. The higher score indicated a higher kinesiophobia.
Measured: At baseline
Nottingham Health Profile:
It contains scales for physical mobility, social isolation, sleep, pain, emotional reactions and energy. The total score changes between 0-100 for each scale.
Measured: At baseline
