Abstract

Objective: To describe illness perception among patients with periodontal diseases in relation to socio-demographic predictors, oral signs and symptoms.

Basic research design: Cross-sectional analytical study.

Participants: Stratified quota sample of 353 consecutive adults with periodontal diseases attending university dental clinics in Iran.

Main outcome measures: The illness perception of periodontal diseases measured using the Brief-Illness Perception Questionnaire.

Results: Participants' mean age was 38.7 years and 53% were female. The most frequent symptoms were tooth sensitivity, inflamed and painful gingiva, and halitosis. The symptoms that participants associated with periodontal diseases were inflamed and painful gingiva, bleeding while brushing, flossing or eating, and gingival recession. Illness perception was associated with education level, the patient's experience of periodontal symptoms, individuals' attitudes about an association between oral signs and symptoms with periodontal diseases and clinical attachment loss.

Conclusion: Understanding how patients perceive their disease is a crucial step to motivating and engaging them in periodontal therapy and in the healthcare process.

牙周病患者的疾病感知。

目的:描述牙周病患者的疾病认知与社会人口学预测因素、口腔体征和症状的关系。基础研究设计:横断面分析研究。参与者:在伊朗大学牙科诊所连续就诊的353名患有牙周病的成年人分层配额样本。主要结果测量:牙周病的疾病感知使用简短疾病感知问卷测量。结果:参与者平均年龄38.7岁，女性占53%。最常见的症状是牙齿敏感，牙龈发炎和疼痛，以及口臭。与牙周病相关的症状是牙龈发炎和疼痛，刷牙、用牙线或吃东西时出血，以及牙龈萎缩。疾病感知与受教育程度、患者牙周症状经历、个体对牙周疾病症状和口腔体征之间关系的态度以及临床依恋丧失有关。结论:了解患者如何感知他们的疾病是激励和让他们参与牙周治疗和保健过程的关键一步。

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.
