Orofacial Motricity and Dysphagia: analysis of theses defended by Brazilian speech-language pathologists
Abstract
Purpose: this
study aimed to investigate the profile of the theses defended by Brazilian
speech-language pathologists with a Doctoral Degree that analyzed issues
related to Orofacial Motricity and Dysphagia.
Methods: an exploratory
retrospective documentary study, performed based on data collected on the
Lattes Platform in 2017. The following variables were included: gender, time
between graduation and defense, geographic
location of institutions, type of institutions, program area and
subareas.
Results: among the 1,125 theses, 92 (8.1%) were related to Orofacial
Motricity and 58 (5.1%) to Dysphagia; as for the gender of the speech-language
pathologist, most were females (97.9% and 98.3% for Orofacial Motricity and
Dysphagia, respectively); the average time between completing graduation and
defending a doctorate was similar in both areas (13.8 years for Orofacial
Motricity and 13.5 years for Dysphagia); most of the post-graduation degrees
granted were in institutions in the Southeast region (70.0%) and in federal
educational institutions. As for the area of knowledge, most were concentrated
in Health Sciences (96.8%). Analyzing data referring to alterations present in
adults, 54.3% in Orofacial Motricity and 82.7% in Dysphagia.
Conclusion: the
theses defended by speech-language pathologists addressing Orofacial Motricity
and Dysphagia were written by women, on average a little over a decade after
graduation in Speech-Language Pathology, and defended in programs offered by
federal institutions, located in the Southeast region, in the area of Health
Sciences. In addition, most of them focused on the analysis of alterations in
adults.
