Resumo

Introdução: Dentro das técnicas de orientação comportamental, a estabilização protetora continua sendo uma abordagem não farmacológica controversa. Compreender as perspectivas sobre a estabilização protetora em diferentes coortes parentais de diversos espectros culturais é relevante no contexto contemporâneo. Objetivo: Analisar qualitativamente a percepção dos pais do sudeste do México, cujos filhos frequentaram uma clínica de residência em odontologia pediátrica, em relação ao uso da estabilização protetora como técnica de orientação comportamental. Material e Métodos: Foram realizados grupos focais com 15 pais, após a projeção de um vídeo na qual foram demonstrados o uso, as indicações, os benefícios e as limitações da técnica de estabilização protetora. Os temas de importância, necessidade, resposta afetuosa, riscos ou danos percebidos, benefícios e aceitabilidade do uso da técnica foram utilizados para orientar os diálogos. As sessões foram gravadas em áudio e posteriormente transcritas para análise.

Resultados: A análise qualitativa dedutiva dos dados revelou que os pais geralmente aceitavam que o uso da estabilização protetora era necessário para a realização de tratamentos dentários seguros e eficazes. Foram compartilhadas preocupações relativamente a potenciais danos físicos e psicológicos, mas os pais geralmente concordaram que os benefícios superavam os riscos quando os tratamentos eram necessários.

Conclusão: Neste contexto, a estabilização protetora foi aceita pelos pais quando indicada e necessária para a realização de tratamentos odontológicos pediátricos seguros. Isto é relevante em contextos como o atual, onde as técnicas farmacológicas de gestão do comportamento não estão tão facilmente disponíveis.
