Abstract
The objective of this research is to determine elements affecting. the oral health behavior of mothers, and to offer basic information and data to enable mothers to understand the basics for good dental health. 2,357 mothers were surveyed among the residents living of an area of Chollabuk Do Province, Korea. Using the "Health Belief Model" a questionnaire was constructed and administered to the samples. Mothers´ oral health behavior with respect to the dependent variables encompassed 13 items, such as the number of dental visits, utilization or non-utilization of dental treatment for preventive purpose, etc.; 5 items, such as relevance to the dental health belief; and 22 items with respect to the modifying factors, such as times required for sleep purposes and to perform the household chores normal to daily life. A 7-point Likert scale measuring dental health belief was administered as part of the questionnaire. Dependent variables with respect to qualitative characteristics were based on logistic regression analysis; and dependent variables with respect to quantitative characteristics were based on multiple regression analysis and path analysis, as analysis method.
Survey results were as follows:
1. Mothers residing in urban regions utilized dental treatment facilities for check-up and prevention purposes; and displayed a high degree of acceptance of preventive dental treatment as recommended by dentists, compared to mothers living in rural regions .2. Working mothers attached less importance to dental health, recording lesser numbers of dental treatments overall, and lesser numbers of dental treatment utilization for prevention and check-up purposes. And, frequency of tooth brushing was also relatively low.
3. Dental health behavior differed according to social class; and mothers belonging to higher social classes exhibited higher rates of undergoing dental treatment for check- up and prevention purposes; mothers belonging to middle social classes exhibited higher rates of general utilization of dental treatment, with active prevention action against onset of dental disease, exemplified by frequent tooth brushing and prevention treatment activity.
4. The smoother the communication between mothers and respective family members, the higher were the numbers of overall dental treatments undertaken by the mothers; the higher the numbers of dental treatments undertaken for prevention and check-up purposes; and the higher the frequencies of tooth brushing.
5. The greater the times spent on sleep and on household chores by mothers in daily life, the fewer were the possibilities for mothers to visit dental clinics, resulting in a lower incidence of such visits by them; and the markedly fewer the possibilities to visit dental clinics for prevention and check-up purposes, resulting in overall reduced numbers of visits.
6. The higher the available monies mothers had for leisure and cultural activities from their incomes; the more frequently such mothers tended to visit dental clinics for prevention of dental disease.
7. The higher the possibilities of suffering dental disease personally, and more vulnerable to adverse dental health conditions, mothers felt, the greater the possibilities of visiting dental clinics opened up, and the more frequent were actual visits. In addition, they had underwent superior prevention treatments as recommended by their dentists.
8. The survey indicated that the more seriously mothers thought about their own dental conditions, or about dental disease affecting them, the more often they visited, the dental clinics.
9. The more importance mothers attached to dental health, the greater the possibilities they saw for utilization of all kinds of dental treatment, including preventive treatments, resulting in higher numbers of actual visits to dental clinics.
