| Abstract (English): | Background: Despite various strategies to foster a research culture in undergraduate Dentistry/Stomatology programs, interest in research often remains limited. Purpose: To analyze factors related to research interest among undergraduate Stomatology students. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with a random sample of undergraduate Stomatology students from the Universidad Científica del Sur (Lima, Peru). Data were collected using a face-to-face survey with a questionnaire and a Likert scale that assessed interest in research, scientific writing, article publication, participation in scientific events, and future dedication. Frequencies and bivariate comparisons were analyzed. Results: A total of 195 students participated, 61 % of whom were women. Among men, 35.1 % (n=13) expressed agreement with having interest in scientific research, compared to 47.1 % (n=56) of women (p=0.041). Overall, 51.3 % (n=100) demonstrated moderate interest in research, followed by 25.1 % (n=49) with high interest and 23.6 % (n=46) with low interest. Across academic years, most students showed moderate interest in research (p=0.011). Regular students displayed a high level of interest (29 %; n=11). Conclusions: Most undergraduate Stomatology students exhibited moderate to high levels of interest in scientific research. Statistically significant differences were found between men and women, with women showing greater interest in scientific research (p=0.05). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Antecedentes: A pesar de diversas estrategias para fomentar la cultura investigativa en el pregrado de Odontología/Estomatología, en muchos casos, el interés por la investigación sigue siendo limitado. Objetivo: Analizar los factores relacionados con el interés investigativo en estudiantes de Estomatología. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal con estudiantes de Estomatología de la Universidad Científica del Sur (Lima-Perú), seleccionados aleatoriamente. Se aplicó un cuestionario y una escala tipo Likert que evaluó: interés por la investigación, redacción y publicación de artículos científicos, participación en eventos y dedicación futura. El análisis incluyó frecuencias y comparaciones bivariadas. Resultados: Se encuestaron 195 estudiantes, de los cuales el 61 % eran mujeres. El 35,1 % (n=13) de los hombres y el 47,1 % (n=56) de las mujeres mostraron interés en la investigación científica (p=0,041). Un 51,3 % (n=100) mostró interés medio, seguido de un 25,1 % (n=49) con interés alto y un 23,6 % (n=46) con interés bajo. En los diferentes años académicos predominó el interés medio (p=0,011). Los estudiantes regulares presentaron mayor interés alto (29 %; n=11). Conclusiones: La mayoría de los estudiantes de Estomatología presentó un nivel de interés por la investigación científica de medio a alto, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre hombres y mujeres. Las mujeres mostraron mayor interés por la investigación científica (p=0,05). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
