Predictors of oral health promotion behaviors among elementary school children: Examination of an extended social cognitive theory.

Brushing teeth with fluoride-containing toothpaste and flossing are considered as effective solutions for preventing dental caries and periodontal diseases. The aim of this study was to use the promoted social cognitive theory (SCT) to investigate factors influencing adherence to oral hygiene behaviors by elementary school children. In this cross-sectional study, 988 elementary school children were chosen using the multistage cluster sampling method. Data were collected using the SCT scale, and its validity and reliability were confirmed. Theoretical models were examined using the structural equation modeling. The SCT explained 50% of the variance in brushing with fluoridated toothpaste and 55.6% of the variance in flossing behaviors. The total effect of family environment (β=.60, P<.05), self-efficacy in overcoming impediments (β=.50, P<.05), and emotional coping (β=.40, P<.05) variables in the conceptual model had significantly influenced tooth brushing behavior. The total effect of self-efficacy (β=.79, P<.05), family environment (β=.41, P<.05), and situational perception (β=.35, P<.05) variables of the conceptual model significantly influenced the flossing behavior. The SCT, self-efficacy, and family environment were strongly associated with brushing and flossing behaviors. Therefore, supportive family environments should be considered as one of the top contributors to successful oral health promotion.

Oral Health Promotion During Well Visits.

Training pediatric residents in Bright Futures and oral health concepts is critical to improving oral health. This study's objective was to determine the skill level of pediatric residents in integrating oral health promotion during health supervision visits of 12- to 35-month-old children. One hundred forty-three pediatric residents participated in an evaluation of the effectiveness of a Bright Futures oral health curriculum. Competencies assessed preintervention included partnership building, communication, and integration of oral health concepts. Pediatric residents' abilities to integrate oral health promotion into health supervision visits varied considerably. Residents demonstrated greater skill in communication and partnership building compared with oral health promotion behaviors and performance of an oral examination. Further education is needed at a national level if we are to meet Healthy People 2020 goals.

대안학교 고등학생의 구강건강증진행위에 관한 연구

이 연구는 횡단면 조사연구로 Pender (1996)의 건강증진모형에 관한 선행 문헌고찰을 통해 청소년의 구강건강증진행위를 설명, 예측하는 가설적 모형을 구성하고, 모형의 적합성과 제시된 가설을 PLS 구조방정식 모형 분석을 통하여 검증하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 대안학교 고등학생의 구강건강증진행위에 미치는 영향에서 지각된 유익성, 통제의 소재, 자기 효능감, 자아 존중감이 높을수록 구강건강증진행위가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 간접효과를 검정한 결과에서는 주관적 구강건강상태가 좋을수록, 과거 구강건강관련행위를 잘할수록 구강건강증진행위가 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. Pender의 건강증진모형을 이용하여 구성한 대안학교 청소년의 구강건강증진 예측모형은 구강건강증진행위를 설명하고 예측하는 데 유용한 것으로 판단되었다. 따라서 향후에는 구강건강증진 예측모형에 입각한 구강건강증진방안이 개발되어야 할 것이다. The purpose of this study is to create a hypothetical model that explains and predicts oral health promotion behavior of adolescents by reviewing preceding literature on Pender's Health Promotion Model, and to verify the model's validity and proposed hypothesis through PLS (partial least square) structural equation model analysis. This study was cross-sectional survey consisted of self-administration questionnaires. The subjects in this study were a total of 293 alternative high school students in Jeollabuk-do Province. They were selected by convenience sampling. In alternative high school students, perceived benefit, locus of control, self-efficacy, and self-esteem had an effect on their oral health promoting behavior. As a result of the indirect effects in black is subjectively good subjective oral health, oral health related behaviors well past the more oral health promotion behavior showed a high. The prediction model of oral health promotion for adolescences, which was made using Pender's Health Promotion Model, was considered to be useful in explaining and predicting alternative high school students oral health promotion behavior.

What do parents say about their children′s oral health on twitter?

Using twitter, a social networking platform, this study examined parents' perceptions and behaviors related to their child's oral health. Publically available tweets on twitter were extracted from 14 randomly selected nonconsecutive days in December 2012 and January 2013. A total of 1073 tweets meeting the search criteria were included and analyzed. Parents frequently described events related to their children's dental eruption, exfoliation, and grinding on twitter, which accounted for close to half of the tweets. One in three (32%) concerns that parents raised was related to one of these events. Concerns about dental esthetics represented the largest category of concerns (28%) that parents had. The most frequent actions described were related to dental visits (61%) and caries prevention (33%). More than half of the tweets contained an associated attitude of the parents themselves or their children (57%) with 2 in 3 attitudes related to dental settings, such as dental visits, being negative.

Role of African‐American Fathers in Child‐Rearing and Oral Health Practices in an Inner City Environment ‐ A Brief Communication

This study assesses parenting behaviors, health behaviors and attitudes in a sample of disadvantaged African-American fathers and evaluates the potential of fathers as recipients of oral health promotion interventions. Participants were 60 African-American fathers whose children were enrolled in a childhood caries prevention study at Women and Infant Child Program (WIC) (n=25) or who were members of a Young Fathers' Program (n=35) at an urban health center. Demographic factors, oral health knowledge, dental self-efficacy, parenting behaviors, readiness to change, and health promotion behaviors were assessed. Participants averaged 30.8 years of age (sd=8.6); children averaged 2.1 years (sd=0. 9). Half of the fathers always have lived with their own children and 92% had regular physical contact with their children. Almost half of the sample reported 'fair/poor' oral health status, while less than 25% reported 'fair/poor' general health. Fathers had high oral health knowledge scores (x=7.7 correct of 9 items), and high readiness for change scores at the action stage (X=12.2 of 15; sd=1.9). dental self-efficacy scores were moderate (X=15.7 of 24; sd=5.5). Half of the fathers shared or had sole responsibility for brushing their children's teeth; 90% report children's teeth were brushed daily. African- American fathers participated in childrearing and oral health promotion behaviors.
