Considering the limitations of this study, the data analyzed indicated that the CIEDE2000 formula reflected the color differences perceived by the human eye similar to the CIELAB formula (ΔE ). Also, women were confirmed to be more sensitive than men to differences in color.

The aim of this work is to study the personality factors and coping styles of Spanish dentists when facing burnout syndrome, through epidemiological work. An epidemiological study of 1928 Spanish dentists was undertaken through an online survey, which registered the age and gender, and three questionnaires: NEO-FFI (personality traits), Brief COPE (coping styles), and MBI-HSS (burnout questionnaire). A multivariate analysis and an explanatory binary logistic regression model were used to estimate the presence of burnout. Neuroticism turned out to be the strongest indicator (OR 1.10; IC 95% 1.09–1.14), while extraversion (OR 0.93; IC 95% 0.91–0.95) and agreeableness (OR 0.94; IC95% 0.92–0.98) showed an inverse relationship with the occurrence of burnout, as did age (OR 0.9; IC95% 0.96–0.99). Conscientiousness (OR 1.0; IC95% 1.00–1.06) had a direct relationship with the presence of burnout. An avoidant coping style was the only indicative coping style (OR 1.04 IC95% 1.02–1.06). Approximately 70% of the dentists scored high on one of the three dimensions of burnout. No differences were found in the degree of burnout according to gender. Certain personality factors (neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness), the avoidant coping style, and age are powerful indicators to attempt to forecast the presence of burnout syndrome in dentists.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar la calidad de vida en pacientes clasificados como osteoporóticos en el Ámbito de la Atención primaria. Se llevó a cabo un diseño observacional transversal, los pacientes fueron reclutados de forma consecutiva en un Centro de Salud de Atención primaria de Salamanca (España). Se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico, el EuroQol-5D, para evaluar calidad de vida relacionada con la salud y el QUALEFFO para evaluar calidad de vida en pacientes clasificados como osteoporóticos y que no ha sido aplicado en Atención primaria. En los resultados para las mujeres, se observaron diferencias significativas entre pacientes clasificados como osteoporóticos y no osteoporóticos en todas las dimensiones de ambos cuestionarios. Para los hombres esas diferencias fueron significativas solo para ciertas dimensiones. Los resultados reflejan que la calidad de vida de los pacientes clasificados como osteoporóticos es más baja que para los no osteoporóticos, en todas las dimensiones de la calidad de vida evaluadas.
