Abstract

Background: Periodontal infection leads to adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm delivery, low birth weight, preeclampsia, miscarriage, or early pregnancy loss. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of pregnant women about periodontal health and oral health and their effect on the fetus. Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical study on 210 pregnant women in the first and second trimesters referring to health centers in Birjand in 2019. The tool used in this study was a researchermade questionnaire with four parts: women's demographic information, and women's knowledge, attitude, and practice, the validity, and reliability of which were confirmed. After data collection, it was entered into SPSS software version 22 and then analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. The significance level was considered 0.05 in all tests. Results and Discussion: In this study, the mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice of pregnant women were 5.6 ±1.92, 55.9 ± 5.1, and 25.9± 3.7, respectively. There was a significant difference between the mean attitude score and mothers' age. There was also a significant difference between the mean scores of knowledge, attitude, and practice of women and significant difference in knowledge, attitude, and practice of employee and housewife pregnant women; In terms practice, there were significant differences between pregnant housewives and self-employed women. There was a significant relationship between the mean of these scores and mothers' jobs so that the mean scores were higher in employed women than others. Conclusions: The results of our study showed that the average score of knowledge, attitude, and practice of pregnant women in Birjand regarding oral hygiene during pregnancy is not satisfactory and appropriate.

调查孕妇对牙周健康和口腔健康的知识、态度和行为及其对妊娠期胎儿的影响

背景：牙周感染会导致不良妊娠结局，如早产、低出生体重、先兆子痫、流产或早孕损失。目的：本研究旨在调查孕妇对牙周健康和口腔健康的知识、态度和实践及其对胎儿的影响。方法：本研究是一项描述性分析研究，涉及2019年Birjand健康中心的210名上、中期孕妇。本研究使用的工具是一份由研究人员编制的问卷，包括四个部分：女性人口统计信息，以及女性的知识、态度和实践，其有效性和可靠性得到了证实。数据收集后，输入SPSS软件版本22，然后使用描述性统计、独立t检验和单向方差分析进行分析。所有测试的显著性水平均为0.05。结果与讨论：在本研究中，孕妇的知识、态度和实践的平均得分分别为5.6±1.92、55.9±5.1和25.9±3.7。平均态度得分与母亲年龄之间存在显著差异。女性在知识、态度和实践方面的平均得分与员工和家庭主妇孕妇在知识、心态和实践方面也存在显著差异；在实践方面，怀孕的家庭主妇和自营职业妇女之间存在显著差异。这些分数的平均值与母亲的工作之间存在显著关系，因此就业女性的平均分数高于其他女性。结论：我们的研究结果表明，Birjand孕妇在孕期口腔卫生知识、态度和实践方面的平均得分并不令人满意和适当。
