Abstract(s)
A dor musculoesquelética é cada vez mais um problema de saúde prevalente em todas
as partes do globo, sendo a dor cervical uma das formas mais comuns. A dor cervical
tem tido particular destaque nos estudantes universitários, nomeadamente entre os
estudantes de medicina. Alguns fatores como a elevada exigência do curso e prevalência
de condições como depressão, ansiedade, problemas de sono, entre outras, parecem
estar relacionados com o desenvolvimento destes processos dolorosos e a sua
perpetuação.
A utilização de dispositivos digitais como smartphones, tablets e computadores,
começam a liderar os recursos de estudo utilizados por estes estudantes. No entanto,
ainda há poucos estudos sobre o seu impacto no desenvolvimento da dor cervical.
Neste âmbito, o objetivo desta scoping review é estudar o impacto do uso dos
dispositivos digitais na dor cervical em estudantes de medicina.
A pesquisa foi efetuada na base de artigos PubMed, sendo a população alvo os
estudantes de Medicina e os artigos foram selecionados tendo em conta os que
especificam a prevalência e fatores de risco. Foram encontrados 233 artigos, sendo
considerados para a realização desta scoping review apenas 6, de acordo com os
critérios de inclusão. Os dados recolhidos de cada artigo elegível para este estudo
suportam a discussão deste trabalho, sobre a literatura disponível acerca desta
temática. Dos 6 artigos, apenas 3 suportam a associação entre o uso de dispositivos
digitais e o desenvolvimento de dor cervical nos estudantes de medicina.
Os resultados obtidos permitem inferir a escassez de estudos que permitam perceber o
impacto do uso crescente dos dispositivos digitais na dor cervical nos estudantes de
Medicina numa perspetiva global.
Musculoskeletal pain is increasingly becoming a prevalent health issue worldwide, with neck pain being its second most common form. Neck pain has been particularly highlighted among university students, especially medical students. Certain factors, such as the high demands of medical education and the prevalence of conditions like depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, among others, seem to be associated with the development and perpetuation of these painful processes. The use of digital devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computers is becoming dominant among the study resources utilized by these students. However, there are still few studies on their impact on the development of neck pain. In this regard, the objective of this scoping review is to study the impact of digital device usage on neck pain in medical students. The research was conducted using the PubMed database, targeting medical students, and articles were selected based on those specifying prevalence and risk factors. A total of 233 articles were found, but only 6 were considered for this scoping review according to the inclusion criteria. The data collected from each eligible article for this study supports the discussion of this work on the available literature regarding this topic. Of the 6 articles, only 3 (6,10,15) support the association between digital device usage and the development of neck pain in medical students. The results obtained suggest a global scarcity of studies that would allow for a broader understanding of the impact of the increasing use of digital devices on neck pain among medical students.
