Abstract

Purpose: To assess children's OHRQoL and associated factors among a sample of children with special needs in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Materials and methods: A sample of 6- to 12-year-old children was obtained using convenience sampling from rehabilitation centers. Data were collected through a questionnaire and dental examination. The questionnaire included items related to the children's and their families' characteristics, oral health-related quality of life scales (Parental-Caregivers Perceptions Questionnaire [P-CPQ] and Family Impact Scale [FIS]), perceived health status, and dental care utilisation. Clinical examination was performed by a trained and calibrated dentist. The data were analysed using SPSS; descriptive and inferential data analyses were also performed using SPSS.

Results: The mean P-CPQ was 1.10 ± 0.74, and the mean FIS was 1.39 ± 0.88. There was a statistically significant correlation between P-CPQ and caries (r = 0.36, p = 0.02). After controlling for confounders, caries was associated with poor P-CPQ (B = 0.06, p = 0.024). Compared to low-income families, higher-income families had better P-CPQ (4000-8000 SAR: B = -1.36, p = 0.001).

Conclusion: Poor oral health-related quality of life in Saudi children is associated with caries and low income. Preventive measures addressing social determinants are vital to control caries and promote oral health in children with special health-care needs.

利雅得有特殊医疗需求儿童的口腔健康相关生活质量：横断面研究。

目的：评估沙特阿拉伯利雅得有特殊需要的儿童的 OHRQoL 及其相关因素：采用方便抽样的方法，从康复中心抽取了 6 至 12 岁的儿童样本。通过问卷调查和牙齿检查收集数据。调查问卷包括与儿童及其家庭特征、口腔健康相关生活质量量表（家长-护理人员感知问卷[P-CPQ]和家庭影响量表[FIS]）、感知健康状况和牙科保健使用情况有关的项目。临床检查由经过培训和校准的牙科医生进行。数据使用 SPSS 进行分析；描述性和推论性数据分析也使用 SPSS 进行：平均 P-CPQ 为 1.10 ± 0.74，平均 FIS 为 1.39 ± 0.88。P-CPQ 与龋齿之间存在统计学意义上的显著相关性（r = 0.36，p = 0.02）。在控制了混杂因素后，龋齿与 P-CPQ 差相关（B = 0.06，p = 0.024）。与低收入家庭相比，高收入家庭的 P-CPQ 更好（4000-8000 SAR：B =-1.36，p =0.001）：结论：沙特儿童口腔健康相关生活质量低下与龋齿和低收入有关。针对社会决定因素的预防措施对于控制龋齿和促进有特殊保健需求的儿童的口腔健康至关重要。
