ABSTRACT
To describe the profile of dentists in oral health team of the micro-region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 48 dentists in 16 municipalities, in which data collection was conducted by questionnaire. The variables considered for the study were: training time in years, and monthly real salary (centroid), in compliance with weekly working hours, mode of incorporation into the oral health team, postgraduate course, social participation and ongoing involvement in Family Health. All variables were used to group dentists by Two Step Cluster analysis segmentation, with p <0.05 significance level. Results: They formed three clusters that differed mainly in relation to training time in years (p = 0.007), hours worked (p <0.001), postgraduate course (p <0.001) and social participation (p = 0.031). The first cluster grouped dentists with less training time, receiving an intermediate salary to comply with the stated working hours and lack of post-graduate course, the second grouped dentists with the highest salaries and years of graduation who have post-graduate course and the last was composed of dentists with intermediary training time, the lowest salaries that complied with the working hours, have attended the training course / training in the Family Health Strategy and have no social participation. Conclusion: Dentists in the Family Health Strategy differ as regards weekly working hours, postgraduate course and social participation in the city, and the training time can be a critical feature to point out these differences.
Objetivo: Descrever o perfil dos cirurgi?es-dentistas da equipe de sa?de bucal de uma microrregi?o de sa?de de Minas Gerais, Brasil. M?todos: Estudo transversal com 48 cirurgi?es-dentistas de 16 munic?pios, cuja coleta de dados foi realizada por question?rio. As vari?veis consideradasforam: tempo de forma??o em anos e sal?rio mensal em reais (centroides), cumprimento da jornada de trabalho semanal, modalidade de incorpora??o na equipe de sa?de bucal, curso de p?s-gradua??o, participa??o social e participa??o em curso na Sa?de da fam?lia. Todas as vari?veis foram utilizadas para agrupar os cirurgi?es-dentistas por meio da an?lise de segmenta??o TwoStep Cluster com dist?ncia euclidiana quadr?tica, com p<0,05 de signific?ncia. Resultados: Formaram-se tr?s clusters que se diferenciam principalmente em rela??o ao tempo de forma??o profissional (p=0,007), jornada cumprida de trabalho (p<0,001), p?s-gradua??o (p<0,001) e participa??o social (p=0,031). O primeiro reuniu cirurgi?es-dentistas com menor tempo de forma??o, sal?rio intermedi?rio que declararam cumprir a jornada de trabalho e que n?o possuem curso de p?s-gradua??o; o segundo reuniu cirurgi?es-dentistas com os maiores sal?rios e tempo de formado que possuem curso de p?s-gradua??o e o ?ltimo foi formado por cirurgi?es-dentistas com tempo de forma??o intermedi?rio, os menores sal?rios, que cumprem a jornada de trabalho, j? realizaram curso de capacita??o/ treinamento na Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia e n?o tem participa??o social. Conclus?o: Os cirurgi?es-dentistas da Estrat?gia Sa?de da Fam?lia s?o diferentes em rela??o ? jornada de trabalho semanal, curso de p?s-gradua??o e participa??o social no munic?pio, sendo que o tempo de forma??o pode ser uma caracter?stica crucial para apontar essas diferen?as.
