Investigation on awareness rates of oral health behavior knowledge among medical university students in Ningxia

目的调查医科大学在校大学生口腔健康行为状况,为进一步对大学生人群开展口腔疾病防治提供依据,促进大学生口腔健康。方法采用分层整群随机抽样法,选取1 341名在校大学生,通过问卷调查学生口腔健康行为知识知晓情况。结果医科大学在校大学生口腔健康行为知识知晓率从高到低依次为换牙刷≤3个月(72.3%)、每日刷牙≥2次(64.4%)、从不干刷牙(64.3%)、常不吃含糖食物(48.5%)、使用含氟牙膏(35.3%)、竖刷式刷牙(29.8%)、刷牙时间≥3 min(22.4%)、不用冷水刷牙(18.3%)、牙齿有洞去看医生(13.0%)、定期口腔检查(9.7%)、牙龈出血去看医生(9.6%)、使用牙线(8.3%)。女生的口腔健康行为知识知晓率高于男生,高年级学生高于低年级学生、口腔专业高于非口腔专业,西医专业高于其他专业,城市高于农村,少数民族(除回族)高于汉族,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)结论该校在校大学生对口腔健康行为认识不足,口腔健康行为有待改进,在高校对学生进一步开展口腔健康教育十分必要。

[Objective]To investigate the status of oral health behavior among medical university students, provide the basis for further carrying out the prevention and control of oral diseases among college students, and improve their oral health.[Methods]1341 university students were selected by using stratified cluster random sampling method, and the awareness rates of oral health behavior knowledge among them were investigated by questionnaire.[Results] The awareness rates of oral health behavior knowledge among medical university students in descending order were as follows： changing toothbrush within 3 months（72.3%）, brushing the teeth more than twice a day（64.4%）, never do dry brushing（64.3%）, rarely eating sugary foods（48.5%）,using fluoride toothpaste（35.3%）, vertical brushing（29.8%）, brushing longer than 3 minutes（22.4%）, do not brush the teeth with cold water（18.3%）, visiting the doctor when suffering from tooth hole（13.0%）, regular oral examination（9.7%）, visiting the doctor when getting gingival bleeding（9.6%）, and using dental floss（8.3%）. The awareness rate of oral health behavior knowledge in girls was higher than that in boys, the students of stomatology had higher awareness rate than students of other majors, the students of western medicine had higher awareness rate than students of other majors, the urban students had higher awareness rate than rural students, while the students of minority nationalities（except the Hui nationality） had higher awareness rate than Han nationality students, and the differences were statistically significant（P 〈0.05）.[Conclusion] The awareness rate of oral health behavior knowledge among medical university students is not satisfactory, and the oral health behaviors need to be improved. It is necessary to strengthen the education of oral health among the university students.
