Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The purpose of the study was to assess the sense of coherence and its relationship with oral health and other study variables among adult patients at university dental hospital.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study included adult patients visiting the Dental Hospital of the College of Dentistry, Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University, Dammam. Sense of coherence was determined by Antonovsky\'s Sense of Coherence scale (SOC-13), which consists of 13 items on a 7-point Likert. DMFT index, plaque index, gingival index, and simplified oral hygiene index were used to evaluate the oral health of study participants. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were performed, and 0.05 level of significance was used in the study.
UNASSIGNED: The study included the data of 558 participants with a mean age of 32.19±10.11 years. The mean score of SOC was 52.77±13.11, which was significantly higher in high-income participants (P <0.001), participants without a medical condition (P=0.021), non-smokers (P <0.001), and those who visited the dentist in less than one year (P=0.028). Bivariate analysis showed statistically significant negative correlations between SOC and DMFT index (P=0.002), SOC and plaque index (P <0.001), SOC and gingival index (P=0.002), and SOC and simplified oral hygiene index (P=0.001). Multivariable analysis also showed that SOC was significantly correlated with DMFT index (P=0.001), plaque index (P <0.001), gingival index (P <0.001), and oral hygiene index (P=0.004) after controlling for age, gender, education, and monthly income.
UNASSIGNED: This study found that high-income and healthy participants, non-smokers, and those who visited the dental office during the last one year demonstrated significantly higher SOC. In addition, there was a statistically significant correlation between SOC and oral health. These study findings highlight the importance of raising awareness about SOC to improve oral health outcomes in adult patients.

摘要：
■该研究的目的是评估大学牙科医院成年患者的连贯感及其与口腔健康和其他研究变量的关系。
■这项横断面研究包括访问牙科学院牙科医院的成年患者，伊玛目阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·本·费萨尔大学，达曼.相干感由Antonovsky的相干感量表(SOC-13)确定，由7分Likert的13个项目组成。DMFT指数,菌斑指数,牙龈指数,采用简化口腔卫生指数评价研究参与者的口腔健康状况。进行了双变量和多变量分析，研究中使用了0.05的显著性水平。
■该研究包括558名参与者的数据，平均年龄为32.19±10.11岁。SOC的平均得分为52.77±13.11，在高收入参与者中明显更高（P<0.001），无医疗条件的参与者（P=0.021），非吸烟者（P<0.001），以及那些在不到一年内拜访牙医的人（P=0.028）。双变量分析显示,SOC与DMFT指数呈显著负相关(P=0.002),SOC和菌斑指数（P<0.001），SOC和牙龈指数（P=0.002），SOC和简化口腔卫生指数(P=0.001)。多变量分析也显示SOC与DMFT指数显著相关(P=0.001)。菌斑指数（P<0.001），牙龈指数（P<0.001），控制年龄后口腔卫生指数(P=0.004)，性别,教育,和月收入。
■这项研究发现，高收入和健康的参与者，非吸烟者,在过去一年中访问过牙科诊所的人表现出更高的SOC。此外,SOC与口腔健康之间存在统计学上显著的相关性.这些研究结果强调了提高对SOC的认识以改善成年患者口腔健康结果的重要性。
