摘要
目的:色盲是影响人眼颜色感知能力的潜在障碍之一。本研究的目的是评估牙科专业人员中色盲的患病率。方法:本研究随机抽取198名牙科专业人员填写调查问卷，采用石原测试法评估其色觉状况。所得结果进行了统计分析。统计分析使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS) 17.0版本(SPSS Inc.， Chicago, IL, USA)。色盲患病率、年龄特异性、色盲发生率与性别的相关性采用卡方检验进行独立性评估，当预期频率为P < 0.05时，认为有统计学意义。结果:本研究报告研究人群中色盲患病率为3.54%。男性(9.26%)高于女性(1.39%)。(P < 0.05)此外，教师的色盲患病率(5.88%)高于学生(3.31%)。结论:本研究报告了牙科专业人员色盲的高患病率，而他们完全没有意识到这一点。
Prevalence of Color Vision Anomalies among Dental Professionals.
Purpose: Color blindness is one of the potential disabilities affecting the ability of color perception by the eye. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of color blindness among dental professionals.
Methods: For the present study, a total of 198 dental professionals were randomly selected as subjects who were asked to fill the required questionnaire followed by which their color vision status was evaluated using the Ishihara test. The results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 17.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). The prevalence of color blindness, age specificity, and the ratio of the occurrence of color blindness in relation to gender were assessed using Chi-square test for independence and Chi-square test with Yates's correction for independence when the expected frequency was <5. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The present study reported 3.54% prevalence of color blindness among the study population. A higher number of cases were reported from males (9.26%) than females (1.39%). (P < 0.05) Furthermore, the prevalence of color blindness was found to be more in faculty members (5.88%) than in students with a reported prevalence of 3.31%.
Conclusion: The present study reported high prevalence of color blindness in dental professionals while they were totally unaware of it.
