■本研究旨在开发和验证一种仪器,基于健康信念模型的成人牙科探视行为(DVBHBM),并基于健康信念模型评估影响成年人牙科就诊行为的因素。
■这项横断面研究是在海得拉巴的277名成年人中进行的,印度。DVBHBM仪器,基于健康信念模型,被开发,已验证,并在参与者之间分配。探索性因素分析,可靠性分析,描述性分析,独立t检验,并进行了路径分析来探索结构效度,内部一致性,态度,以及变量之间的关系。
■与定期牙科就诊的参与者相比,有不适的参与者表现出更高的感知易感性(3.70±1.15)(2.84±1.26,p<0.05)。相反,定期就诊的个体表现出明显更大的感知益处(22.32±2.5),比经历不适的个体(19.76±3.36,p=0.001).与经历不适的人(12.71±4.26,p=0.001)相比,定期就诊的人的感知障碍较低(11.01±4.61)。定期就诊的参与者也比那些经历不适的人(2.91±1.03,p=0.000)更强烈地感受到不去看牙医的严重程度(3.87±0.95)。与定期就诊的患者相比,不适患者(3.34±1.06)的行动线索更为明显(2.98±1.07,p<0.05)。
■在牙科就诊中表现出不适的参与者的感知易感性明显更高,感知障碍,对牙科就诊的行动和自我效能的线索。然而,年龄等因素,性别,婚姻状况,收入,刷牙,使用牙线和烟草不会影响成年人的牙科就诊行为。
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument, Dental Visiting Behavior Based on Health Belief Model among Adults (DVBHBM), and to assess factors influencing adults\' dental visiting behavior based on Health Belief Model.
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 277 adults in Hyderabad, India. The DVBHBM instrument, based on Health Belief Model, was developed, validated, and distributed among participants. Exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive analysis, independent t-tests, and path analysis were conducted to explore construct validity, internal consistency, attitudes, and relationship among variables.
UNASSIGNED: Participants with discomfort exhibited higher perceived susceptibility (3.70 ± 1.15) compared to those with regular dental visits (2.84 ± 1.26, p < 0.05). Conversely, individuals with regular dental visits demonstrated significantly greater perceived benefits (22.32 ± 2.5) than those experiencing discomfort (19.76 ± 3.36, p = 0.001). Perceived barriers were lower among individuals with regular dental visits (11.01 ± 4.61) compared to those experiencing discomfort (12.71 ± 4.26, p = 0.001). Participants with regular dental visits also perceived the severity of not visiting a dentist (3.87 ± 0.95) more strongly than those experiencing discomfort (2.91 ± 1.03, p = 0.000). Cues to action were more pronounced in individuals with discomfort (3.34 ± 1.06) compared to those with regular dental visits (2.98 ± 1.07, p < 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Participants exhibiting discomfort in dental visits had significantly higher perceived susceptibility, perceived barriers, cues to action and self-efficacy towards dental visits. However, factors such as age, gender, marital status, income, brushing, flossing and tobacco use did not impact dental visiting behaviour of adults.
