el nivel socioeconómico de los pacientes que asistieron al Centro de Salud Aranjuez, de
edades entre 18 y 60 años de edad, en enero del año 2024.
La investigación es de tipo básica, correlacional y transversal. Se trabajó con una muestra de
248 pacientes. A los mismos que se les aplicó un cuestionario de 10 preguntas, el cual
estuvo dividido en dos partes, una correspondiente a la Automedición odontológica y la otra
referente al nivel socioeconómico. Para el análisis estadístico descriptivo-inferencial se optó
por la prueba no paramétrica Chi-Cuadrado de Pearson.
Se determinó que el 52% de pacientes se automedicaba, el 70.5% prefieren la
automedicación farmacológica, el tipo de medicamento preferido para la automedicación
fueron los analgésicos (48.8%) y el nivel socioeconómico prevalente fue el nivel
socioeconómico medio (42.3%).
En cuanto al análisis de la prueba estadística, se encontró un valor de p=0.013, por lo que se
concluye que existe una relación altamente significativa entre la automedicación
odontológica y el nivel socioeconómico.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between dental self-medication and the socioeconomic level of patients attending the Aranjuez Health Center, aged between 18 and 60 years old, in the month of January 2024. This research is of a basic, correlational, and cross-sectional nature. A sample of 248 patients who met the selection criteria was worked with. These patients were administered a 10-question questionnaire, which was divided into two parts: one related to dental self-medication and the other concerning socioeconomic level. For the inferential descriptive statistical analysis, the non-parametric Pearson's Chi-Square test was used.
