摘要
视力障碍者在保持最佳口腔卫生方面面临着困难,原因可能是他们对正确的口腔清洁技术缺乏了解。本研究旨在描述厄瓜多尔奥塔瓦洛市 "La Joya "特殊教育机构中视力障碍儿童的口腔卫生习惯。研究采用描述性、观察性、前瞻性和横断面方法。研究采用了两种方法:问卷调查和访谈指南。调查对象包括残疾儿童的家长、教职员工以及接受过视力障碍儿童教育培训的人员。调查采用了简单随机概率抽样法,共 51 人参加;访谈采用了非概率目的抽样法,确定了两名关键信息提供者。调查结果显示,人们倾向于采取以听觉和触觉为重点的教育干预措施,特别强调专业教学和使用改编材料,如牙科模型和盲文小册子,以促进口腔护理。牙科治疗的资金支持是一个关键因素。研究结果突出表明,"La Joya "特殊教育机构需要一名儿童牙医。结论是,视力障碍儿童的口腔清洁明显得不到重视,这主要是由于教育人员、卫生专业人员和家长对口腔清洁的了解和跟踪不够。
Description of oral hygiene habits in children with visual impairment in an ecuadorian school unit
People with visual impairment face difficulties in maintaining optimal oral hygiene, due to the possible lack of knowledge about proper oral cleaning techniques. The objective of the study was to describe oral hygiene habits in people with visual impairment in children with visual impairment in the "La Joya" Specialized Educational Unit in the city of Otavalo, Ecuador. The study had a descriptive, observational, prospective and cross-sectional approach. Two techniques were used: surveys, using questionnaires, and interviews, using the interview guide. The population included parents of children with disabilities, teaching and administrative staff, as well as personnel trained in the education of children with visual impairment. Simple random probability sampling was used for the survey, with a total of 51 people, and non-probability purposive sampling was used for the interview, identifying two key informants. The findings showed an inclination toward educational interventions focused on hearing and touch, with special emphasis on specialized teaching and the use of adapted materials, such as dental models and Braille booklets, to promote oral care. Financial support for dental treatment is a crucial factor. The results highlight the need for a pediatric dentist at the "La Joya" Specialized Educational Unit. It is concluded that there is a notable lack of attention to oral cleanliness in children with visual impairment, mainly due to poor knowledge and follow-up by educational personnel, health professionals and parents
