Oral Hygiene Behavior

Introduction The prevalence of oral hygiene behaviors (OHB) is very low among school children in Ethiopia. However, the determinants of student’s readiness/intention to perform those behaviors have been remained unstudied. Objective This study aimed to identify the determinants of oral hygiene behavioral intention (OHBI) among preparatory school students based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Methods and materials An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 393 students. A 98-item self-administered questionnaire was used to evaluate oral hygiene knowledge (OHK), oral hygiene behavior (OHB), and OHBI based on TPB variables [attitude (ATT), subjective norms (SN) and perceived behavioral control (PBC)]. Descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling analysis (SEM) were employed to confirm relationships and associations among study variables. A p-value of less than 0.05 and a 95% confidence interval were used to declare statistical significance. Results A total of 393 students were participated with a response rate of 97.5%. The mean age of the participants (54% females) was 18 (± 1.3) with an age range of 16 to 24. The TPB model was well fitted to the data and explained 66% of the variance in intention. ATT (β = 0.38; 95% CI, (0.21, 0.64)), SN (β = 0.33; 95% CI, (0.05, 0.83)) and PBC (β = 0.29; 95% CI, (0.13, 0.64)) were significant predictors of OHBI, where ATT was the strongest predictor of OHBI. Conclusion The TPB model explained a large variance in the intention of students to improve their OHB. All TPB variables were significantly and positively linked to stronger intent, as the theory suggests. Furthermore, these results suggest that the model could provide a framework for oral hygiene promotion interventions in the study area. Indeed, these interventions should focus on changing the attitudes of students towards OHB, creation of positive social pressure, and enabling students to control over OHB barriers.

Abstract Introduction Despite a broad public awareness of the need for good oral health, periodontitis is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. One explanation might be that people lack specific knowledge about the disease enabling them to proper oral health behavior. The present study aimed to assess the current periodontitis-related knowledge of the German population.Methods/Design Former participants of the 5th German Oral Health Study (n = 333 16-year-olds, n = 307 39-48-year-olds, n = 332 69-78-year-olds) answered open-ended (OEQs), single- (SCQs) and multiple-choice questions (MCQs) regarding periodontal diseases and oral hygiene behavior in a computer assisted telephone interview provided by professional interviewers.OEQs assess active knowledge, SCQs and MCQs help to identify passive knowledge (correct answers) and specific misconceptions (wrong answers). Answer frequencies and effect sizes of group differences (Cramer’s V) are presented.Results Active knowledge regarding the definition, risk-factors, consequences and prevention of periodontitis and regarding proper oral hygiene behavior was low. In SCQs and MCQs participants often chose wrong and right answer categories with comparable frequencies.Conclusions Efforts to provide the population with comprehensive information on periodontitis must be intensified. The findings indicate that this educational work should begin at school age but must not end there.
