Abstract

Background: Pregnant women are vulnerable to oral disease due to physiological, hormonal, and dietary alterations. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of the educational program according to the Health Promotion Model (HPM) on the oral health prevention behavior of pregnant women.

Study design: A randomized controlled trial.

Methods: This study was performed on 105 pregnant women visiting health centers located in Arak from February to November 2022. The subjects were randomly assigned to intervention (n=54) and control (n=51) groups. A reliable and valid questionnaire according to HPM constructs was used to collect the data. The pre-test was conducted in the groups. The intervention group received the educational program in 9 educational sessions (from 12 to 24 weeks of pregnancy). Then, the post-test was conducted in the 36th week of pregnancy in the groups. Finally, the data were analyzed by SPSS software (version 18) and using independent t-test, paired t-test, and Chi-square test.

Results: There were statistically significant differences between the intervention and control groups regarding perceived benefits (24.68±3.63 vs. 26.57±3.67, P=0.009), perceived barriers (7.31±3.14 vs. 5.81±3.59, P=0.025), positive affect (10.50±1.66 vs. 11.29±1.34, P=0.009), negative affect (1.59±0.223 vs. 1.40±1.51, P=0.006), commitment to the action plan (4.05±1.92 vs. 4.77±1.50, P=0.034), and tooth brushing time (2.29±0.72 vs. 2.74±0.48, P<0.001). However, no significant difference was observed regarding the tooth brushing frequency (2.05±0.58 vs. 2.07±0.66, P=0.901) after the intervention. The brushing time for 2-3 minutes in the intervention group increased from 51.85% to 75.92% after the intervention.

Conclusion: HPM-based education was effective in promoting the duration of tooth brushing in pregnant women. However, it had no effect on the tooth brushing frequency.

孕期促进口腔健康行为:一项随机对照试验。
背景:由于生理、激素和饮食的改变,孕妇易患口腔疾病。摘要本研究旨在评估健康促进模式(HPM)教育计划对孕妇口腔健康预防行为的影响。研究设计:随机对照试验。方法:对2022年2月至11月在阿拉克省卫生院就诊的105名孕妇进行研究。受试者被随机分为干预组(n=54)和对照组(n=51)。采用可靠有效的HPM结构问卷进行数据收集。预试在各组中进行。干预组接受9次教育课程(妊娠12 ~ 24周)。然后在妊娠第36周进行后测。最后,采用SPSS软件(version 18)对数据进行分析,采用独立t检验、配对t检验和卡方检验。结果:干预组与对照组在干预后感知到的获益(24.68±3.63比26.57±3.67,P=0.009)、感知到的障碍(7.31±3.14比5.81±3.59,P=0.025)、积极情绪(10.50±1.66比11.29±1.34,P=0.009)、消极情绪(1.59±0.223比1.40±1.51,P=0.006)、对行动计划的投入(4.05±1.92比4.77±1.50,P=0.034)、刷牙时间(2.29±0.72比2.74±0.48,P=0.901)方面差异均有统计学意义。干预组2 ~ 3分钟刷牙时间由干预后的51.85%提高到75.92%。结论:以健康护理为基础的教育对提高孕妇的刷牙时间是有效的。然而,它对刷牙频率没有影响。
