Abstract:
The aim of this review was to evaluate the association between parental oral health literacy and children\'s oral health outcomes. A comprehensive search was conducted across four electronic databases to identify articles that were published up to October 2023. The articles that met our predetermined criteria were then screened and assessed for eligibility. Updated Arksey and O\'Malley\'s scoping review framework was followed. After identifying 2964 references, duplicates were removed, leaving 1992 titles. Following the screening of article titles and abstracts, 19 full-text articles underwent a thorough examination. The scoping review included 19 relevant studies. In most of the studies included, the status of oral health of children is linked to the caregiver\'s oral health literacy. Children of caregivers with low oral health literacy were found to exhibit deleterious oral health habits, including inadequate teeth brushing and the use of bottles at night-time. Dental caries was found to be more common in children whose parents had low oral health literacy. Striving for optimal oral health literacy in the community is a valuable and worthwhile effort. Equipping parents with the skills and knowledge to make appropriate decisions about their children\'s oral health could positively prevent dental caries and promote better oral health outcomes.
摘要:
这篇综述的目的是评估父母口腔健康素养与儿童口腔健康结果之间的关系。对四个电子数据库进行了全面搜索,以确定截至2023年10月发表的文章。然后筛选符合我们预定标准的文章并评估其资格。更新了Arksey和O'Malley的范围审查框架。识别2964个参考文件后,重复项被删除,离开1992年的头衔。在筛选文章标题和摘要之后,对19篇全文进行了全面审查。范围审查包括19项相关研究。在大多数研究中,儿童口腔健康状况与照顾者的口腔健康素养有关。口腔健康素养低的照顾者的儿童被发现表现出有害的口腔健康习惯,包括刷牙不足和夜间使用瓶子。发现龋齿在父母口腔健康素养较低的儿童中更为常见。在社区中争取最佳的口腔健康素养是一项宝贵而值得的努力。为父母提供技能和知识,对孩子的口腔健康做出适当决定,可以积极预防龋齿并促进更好的口腔健康结果。
