Suspected bruxism was identified using the Clinical Self-Report Screening Test (McNeill, 1993; modified by Kindernecht, 1997), with a positive result defined as \u22652 affirmative responses across 25 items. Anxiety, depression, and stress were assessed using the DASS-21, and oral health using the DMFT index and Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE). Bivariate analyses included Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests and Spearman correlations. Binary logistic regression was performed, with multicollinearity assessed using the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) and model fit evaluated using the Hosmer-Lemeshow test and Nagelkerke R\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      .\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Suspected bruxism prevalence was 72.6% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009146; 95% CI: 66.1\u201378.3%), with the highest prevalence observed in the women's ward (80.5%).
