Abstract

Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of training the early year's workforce on their knowledge, skills and/or behaviours in delivering oral health advice.

Methods: Four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase and Scopus were searched to evaluate the effectiveness of oral health training on knowledge, skills and behaviour of the early year's workforce with a minimum of one-month follow-up. Randomised or quasi-randomised trials and before and after studies were included.

Results: All six included studies showed improved knowledge and one of the five studies showed significant changes in behaviours of participants post oral health training. None of the included studies addressed changes in skills as an outcome.

Conclusion: This systematic review found evidence that oral health training of the early year's workforce is effective in improving their knowledge but not necessarily their behaviours delivering oral health advice. Although training of the wider workforce on oral health is recommended, high quality research is required with longitudinal follow-up to assess changes in behaviours and ultimately impacts on oral health.

口腔健康培训对早期员工在提供口腔健康建议方面的知识、技能和行为的影响:一项系统综述。

目的:确定培训初级工作人员在提供口腔健康咨询方面的知识、技能和/或行为的有效性。方法:检索PubMed、Web of Science、Embase和Scopus 4个数据库，通过至少1个月的随访，评估口腔健康培训在早期工作人员的知识、技能和行为方面的效果。包括随机或准随机试验以及前后研究。结果:所有六项纳入的研究都显示了知识的提高，五项研究中的一项显示了参与者在口腔健康培训后行为的显著变化。没有一项纳入的研究将技能变化作为结果。结论:本系统综述发现，有证据表明，早期工作人员的口腔健康培训对提高他们的知识有效，但不一定能改善他们在提供口腔健康建议方面的行为。虽然建议对更广泛的工作人员进行口腔卫生培训，但需要进行高质量的研究，并进行纵向随访，以评估行为的变化及其对口腔健康的最终影响。

期刊介绍： The journal is concerned with dental public health and related subjects. Dental public health is the science and the art of preventing oral disease, promoting oral health, and improving the quality of life through the organised efforts of society. The discipline covers a wide range and includes such topics as: -oral epidemiology- oral health services research- preventive dentistry - especially in relation to communities- oral health education and promotion- clinical research - with particular emphasis on the care of special groups- behavioural sciences related to dentistry- decision theory- quality of life- risk analysis- ethics and oral health economics- quality assessment. The journal publishes scientific articles on the relevant fields, review articles, discussion papers, news items, and editorials. It is of interest to dentists working in dental public health and to other professionals concerned with disease prevention, health service planning, and health promotion throughout the world. In the case of epidemiology of oral diseases the Journal prioritises national studies unless local studies have major methodological innovations or information of particular interest.
