目的:唇腭裂(CLP)患儿患龋齿的风险更大。父母的知识和态度可能会影响孩子的口腔健康和饮食习惯。因此,这项研究的目的是评估社会人口统计学特征,口腔健康知识,口腔健康行为,和父母的习惯,以及与CLP孩子的口腔健康和饮食习惯的关系。
方法:343名CLP患者的父母参与了这项研究。一份包含52个关于社会人口统计学特征问题的在线问卷,向他们介绍了口腔健康和口腔卫生习惯。
结果:文化程度较高的父母口腔健康知识水平较好(p<0.05)。Logistic回归分析显示,影响儿童刷牙习惯的因素是母亲的年龄(比值比[OR]=1.071,95%置信区间[CI]:1.062-1.153),父亲的就业状况(OR=2.089,95CI:1.065-4.097),和母亲的最后一次牙科访问(OR=1.995,95CI:1.119-3.557)。影响儿童牙膏使用的因素是母亲的年龄(OR=1.106,95CI:1.030-1.114),父亲的就业状况(OR=2.124,95CI:1.036-4.354),和母亲的最后一次牙科访问(OR=2.076,95CI:1.137-3.79)。
结论:父母因素对CLP患儿口腔健康相关行为有显著影响。
OBJECTIVE: Children with cleft lip and palate (CLP) have a greater risk of dental caries. The parents\' knowledge and attitudes may have an impact on their children\'s oral health and dietary habits. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the socio-demographic characteristics, oral health knowledge, oral health behaviours, and habits of the parents in addition to the relationship with the oral health and dietary practices of their children with CLP.
METHODS: The parents of 343 patients with CLP participated in the study. An online questionnaire with 52 questions regarding sociodemographic characteristics, oral health and oral hygiene practices was presented to them.
RESULTS: Parents with higher level of education had better oral health knowledge (p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the factors affecting the child\'s tooth brushing habits were the mother\'s age (odds ratio [OR] = 1.071, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.062-1.153), the father\'s employment status (OR = 2.089, 95%CI: 1.065-4.097), and the mother\'s last dental visit (OR = 1.995, 95%CI: 1.119-3.557). The factors affecting the child\'s toothpaste usage were the mother\'s age (OR = 1.106, 95%CI: 1.030-1.114), the father\'s employment status (OR = 2.124, 95%CI: 1.036-4.354), and the mother\'s last dental visit (OR = 2.076, 95%CI: 1.137-3.79).
CONCLUSIONS: Parental factors have a significant influence on the oral health-related behaviours of children with CLP.
