Objective To examine the correlation between self-efficacy for oral self-care and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQOL)among the patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods Totally 120 patients with chronic periodontitis in The First Hospital of Jilin University were investigated by the Self-Efficacy Scale for Self-Care (SESS)and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14)from May to July 2016. Results The patients reported a score of SESS of 46. 10 ± 8. 67,which was at low level. The score of OHIP-14 was 18. 90 ± 7. 62, which was poor too. The score of OHIP-14 was negatively correlated with the total score of SESS and the scores of self-efficacy for dentist consultation and brushing of the teeth (P < 0. 01,P < 0. 01,P < 0. 05). Conclusion Clinicians should enhance the whole self-efficacy for oral self-care to improve oral health in the patients with chronic periodontitis.%目的 探讨慢性牙周炎患者口腔保健自我效能与口腔健康的相关性.方法 2016年5—7月,采用口腔保健自我效能量表和口腔健康影响程度量表对120例慢性牙周炎患者进行问卷调查,对口腔保健自我效能和口腔健康进行描述性分析和Spearman相关分析.结果 慢性牙周炎患者口腔保健自我效能水平低,总分为(46.10±8.67)分;口腔健康影响程度量表得分为(18.90±7.62)分.口腔保健自我效能总分、正确刷牙的自我效能感、口腔就诊的自我效能感与口腔健康影响程度均呈负相关(P<0.01,P<0.05,P<0.01),即慢性牙周炎患者口腔保健自我效能水平越高,口腔健康影响程度量表得分越低,其口腔健康水平就越高.结论 提高患者口腔保健自我效能水平将有助于改善口腔健康状况.
