Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the oral health behavior of mothers and children from multicultural families and those of mothers and children from ordinary Korean families.
Methods: The subjects in this study were 175 mothers of ordinary Korean families and 131 mothers of multicultural families who were selected by convenience sampling from the city of Nonsan. The investigation method was a personal self-administration survey conducted on the mothers of ordinary Korean families, and an interview survey conducted on the mothers of multicultural families by personal visit. The collected data were analysed using a t-test and chi-square test using SPSS software.
Results: The multicultural families were far more disadvantaged than the ordinary Korean families when their socioeconomic characteristics were compared. The frequency of cariogenic beverages intake of children from multicultural families was higher than in children from ordinary Korean families. However, the types of families made no differences on how much the mothers curbed their children’s sugar intake to prevent dental caries. Both of the mothers and children from multicultural families brushed their teeth less frequently than the mothers and children from ordinary Korean families, and the multicultural families brushed their teeth less after lunch and before bedtime.
Conclusions: The mothers and children from multicultural families had non-desirable oral health behavior when compared to the mothers and children from ordinary Korean families. A supportive environment has to be established to improve the oral health of multicultural families in Korea.
