Resumo Avaliar o impacto das condições bucais na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) em crianças de dez países da América Latina (AL). Foi realizado um estudo transversal com 930 pares de crianças/pais de 1 a 3 anos de 10 países da AL, como estudo complementar do Research Observatory for Dental Caries of the Latin American Region. A escala ECOHIS, previamente testada e validada em dez países, foi aplicada a pais/cuidadores de crianças para mensurar a QVRSB. A análise estatística incluiu análise descritiva de dados e análise de variância unidirecional (ANOVA-One-Way) para comparar grupos etários com QVRSB. Procedimentos de bootstrapping (1000 reamostragens; 95%IC Bca) foram realizados. A pontuação média da seção 'Impacto na Criança' na AL foi 4,0 (±8,3), na seção ‘Impacto na Família’ foi 2,0 (±4,0) e no escore total do ECOHIS foi 6,0 (±12,0). Na seção 'Impacto na Criança', Argentina 10,0(+2,4) e Venezuela 17,8(±17,5) demonstraram pontuações médias superiores aos dados totais da AL. Na seção ‘Impacto na Família’, os países com pontuações médias mais altas foram Argentina 4,9(±2,0), Equador 2,1(±3,1) e Venezuela 7,9(±7,8). No escore total do ECOHIS, Argentina 15,1 (±4,1) e Venezuela 25,7(±25,2) apresentaram escores médios superiores aos valores de AL. Houve associação entre a idade das crianças e o relato dos pais de impacto na QVRSB (p<0,001). As crianças de três anos tiveram média maior quando comparadas às de um e dois anos, tanto nas seções 'Impacto na Criança' e ‘Impacto na Família’ (p<0,001), quanto no escore total ECOHIS (p<0,001). Em conclusão, houveram diferenças na QVRSB entre os países da América Latina, impactando de forma mais significativa as crianças mais velhas.

Abstract To assess the impact of oral conditions on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in infants in ten Latin America countries (LAC). A cross-sectional study was conducted with 930 pairs of 1-to-3-year-old children/parents from 10 LAC, as a complementary study of the Research Observatory for Dental Caries of the Latin American Region. The scale ECOHIS, previously tested and valid in ten countries, was applied to parents/caregivers of children to measure OHRQoL. Statistical analysis included descriptive data analysis and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA-One-Way) were performed to compare age groups with OHRQoL. Bootstrapping procedures (1000 re-samplings; 95%CI Bca) were performed. The mean scores of the ‘Child Impact’ section in the LAC was 4.0(±8.3), in the ‘Family Impact’ section was 2.0(±4.0), and in overall ECOHIS score was 6.0(±12.0). In the ‘Child Impact’ section, Argentina 10.0(+2.4) and Venezuela 17.8(±17.5) demonstrated mean scores higher than the LAC total data. In the ‘Family Impact’ section, the countries with higher mean scores were Argentina 4.9(±2.0), Ecuador 2.1(±3.1) and Venezuela 7.9(±7.8). In the overall ECOHIS score, Argentina 15.1 (±4.1) and Venezuela 25.7(±25.2) has higher mean scores than the values of LAC. There is an association between children's age and parents' report of impact on the OHRQoL (p<0.001). Three-year-olds had a higher mean when compared to one- and two-year-olds, both in the Impact on the Child and Impact on the Family (p<0.001) sections, as well as in the overall ECOHIS (p<0.001). In conclusion, there are differences in OHRQoL among Latin American countries, impacting older children more significantly.

ABSTRACT The preservation of the historical memory of a native language is essential to maintain the identity of indigenous peoples and to preserve ancestral knowledge, as well as other aspects that derive in the economy such, that generates the tsa'chila culture in Santo Domingo - Ecuador. However, there are few teaching tools in tsa'fiki (tsa’chila language), which makes it difficult to learn the language in the bilingual students of the tsa'chilas educational units, which causes the language to be lost, and therefore the cultural identity of this nationality. Thus, the objective of this work is to offer an alternative, for the conservation of tsa'fiki through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), observing the precepts of the tsa'chila cultural worldview, in such a way that natives can naturally assimilate the proposed technology and therefore to motivate others to learn their language. Methodologically, first an analysis of the cultural and learning aspects of the tsa'fiki that must be taken into account to implement the technological solution was made, then an evaluation of technological components was carried out to implement the solution, the prototypes were built, finally, the satisfaction of the solution was verified, inducing that ICT contribute to the learning of tsa'fiki

RESUMEN La conservación de la memoria histórica de una lengua nativa es esencial para mantener la identidad de los pueblos indígenas y preservar conocimientos ancestrales, así como también otros aspectos que derivan en la economía, que genera la cultura tsa’chila en Santo Domingo - Ecuador. Sin embargo, existen pocas herramientas didácticas en tsa’fiki (lengua tsa’chila), que dificultan el aprendizaje del referido idioma en los estudiantes de las unidades educativas tsa’chilas, y causan perdida de la lengua, por ende, la identidad cultural de esta nacionalidad. Es así que el objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una alternativa, para la conservación del tsa´fiki mediante Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC), observando los preceptos de la cosmovisión cultural tsa’chila, de forma que los nativos puedan asimilar con naturalidad la tecnología propuesta y por ende se motiven y motiven a otros al aprendizaje de su idioma. Metodológicamente, primero se realizó un análisis de los aspectos culturales y de aprendizaje del tsa’fiki que se deben tomar en cuenta para implementar la solución tecnológica, luego se realizó una evaluación de componentes tecnológicos para implementar la solución, se construyen los prototipos, finalmente se verificó la satisfacción de la solución, induciendo que las TIC contribuyen al aprendizaje del tsa’fiki.
