Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the current status of oral health literacy among adult orthodontic patients and analyze its influencing factors.

Methods: Totally 163 adult orthodontic patients were recruited by convenience sampling method from November 2021 to February 2022 at the Department of Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Center of Craniofacial Orthodontics in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. General information questionnaire, Chinese version of Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD-14), Chinese version of Self-Efficacy Scale for Self-care (SESS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were applied. SPSS 21.0 software package was used for data analysis.

Results: The mean score of oral health literacy in adult orthodontic patients was (48.74±5.54), and the lowest score were obtained in concern (6.80±1.19) and support (6.40±1.59) dimensions. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that adult orthodontic patients' consultation self-efficacy, social support utilization, family or friends' orthodontic history and objective support were the influencing factors of oral health literacy.

Conclusions: The oral health literacy in adult orthodontic patients is at a middle to high level, but concern and support literacy need to be improved. Strengthening consultation self-efficacy, objective support and utilization of social support can improve adult orthodontic patients' oral health literacy. Attention should be paid to patients who have no relatives or friends with history of orthodontic treatment.

[成人正畸患者的口腔健康知识现状及其影响因素]。

目的：调查成年正畸患者的口腔健康素养现状，并分析其影响因素：采用方便抽样法，于 2021 年 11 月至 2022 年 2 月在上海市第九人民医院口腔颌面外科、颅面正畸中心共招募 163 名成年正畸患者。采用一般信息问卷、中文版口腔医学健康素养（HeLD-14）、中文版自我护理效能量表（SESS）和社会支持评定量表（SSRS）。数据分析采用 SPSS 21.0 软件包：成年正畸患者口腔健康素养平均分为（48.74±5.54）分，其中关注（6.80±1.19）分和支持（6.40±1.59）分最低。多元逐步回归分析显示，成人正畸患者的就诊自我效能感、社会支持利用率、家人或朋友的正畸史和客观支持是口腔健康素养的影响因素：成人正畸患者的口腔健康素养处于中高水平，但关注和支持素养有待提高。加强咨询自我效能感、客观支持和利用社会支持可以提高成年正畸患者的口腔健康素养。应关注无亲友有正畸治疗史的患者。
