Risk factors include repeated hand washing, frequent use of alcohol-based disinfectants and use of gloves for several hours. This study determined the 1-year prevalence of self-reported hand eczema among members of Filipino-Chinses Dental Foundation (FCDFI). METHODS: Self-administered questionnaires were distributed among the dentist members of FCDFI during it's 38th Annual Convention and Scientific Seminar. The questionnaire were adapted from the questionnaires developed by Smit et al. and Hamnerius et al., the Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire-2022, and Dermatology Life Quality Index questionnaire. RESULTS: 130 participants responded (81.3% response rate). The 1-year prevalence of symtoms-based hand eczema was 49.2%. Dryness was the most common symptom experienced with 45.4% prevalence. Powdered latex gloves was reported by majority of the respondents (68.8%) as causative factor for their symptoms. 71% experienced no to small effects on their quality of their life because of hand eczema symptoms, while 29% experienced moderate to severe effects. Using logistic regression, respondents who are 60-69 years old [OR 013., 95% C1 (0.02, 0.76] are less associated with having symptoms of hand eczema. In addition, greater than 10 years of working experience [0.23 OR, 95% C1 (0.07,0.73)] and greater than 20 years of working experience [0.27 (0.09,0.82)] are both less associated with acquiring symptoms of hand eczema. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, a high 1-year prevalence of symptom-based hand eczema was seen among the dentist members of Filipino-Chinese Dental Foundation. Powdered Index gloves were reported by most of the respondents as causative factors of their symptoms. Although most of the respondents experienced no to small consequences, almost third of them experienced moderate-severe consequences, which is significant. Respondents who are 60 years old and older and who have greater than 10 years of work experience are less likely to develop hand eczema. Contact dermatitis. Eczema. Michelle C.
