昌吉地区275名哈萨克族体检人员口腔健康知识、态度及行为的调查研究

Investigation on knowledge, attitudes and practice of oral heath in 275 Kazak people in Changji district

目的:了解新疆昌吉地区哈萨克族体检人员口腔健康知识、态度及行为(KAP)的现况,为针对性开展口腔保健知识教育提供科学依据。方法:针对到新疆昌吉州人民医院口腔科体检的哈萨克族人员300名,进行口腔KAP的调查与分析研究。获得有效问卷275份,采用Excel 2003将调查数据双份独立录入计算机,应用SPSS 17.0软件包对数据进行χ2检验。结果:本组哈萨克族体检者获得口腔卫生知识的主要途径为媒体(69.4%),只有8.7%的人选择定期进行口腔检查。仅有44%的体检人员主动获取口腔卫生保健知识,64.4%的人相信健康教育。56%的人每天刷牙2次及2次以上,仅有4%的人选择牙线。对口腔疾病的治疗,69.5%的体检者会选择大型医院的口腔科,仅有6.9%的人在选择医师上无所谓。口腔健康知识、态度、行为水平的发展不平衡,不同文化程度,经济收入高低之间的差异在口腔健康行为方面如刷牙次数及口腔疾病治疗时对医师、医院的选择均有统计学意义。结论:新疆昌吉地区哈萨克族体检者的口腔健康知识较薄弱,口腔保健态度非常积极但其口腔健康行为却不尽如人意,有待于进一步加强口腔健康教育及口腔健康知识的普及。
