Abstract: Objective To explore the relationship between health self-management skill and the severity of periodontitis disease.Methods 200 periodontitis patients (periodontitis group) and 200 health controls (control group) were assessed using the rating scale of health self-management skill for adults (AHSMSRS).Results (1) The total score of AHSMSRS in periodontitis group(139.08± 13.42),was lower than that in control group (177.51±16.16),and the difference was statistically significant (t=5.29,P＜0.01).(2) The number of different severity of periodontitis patients were mild 42 cases (21.0％),moderate 90 cases (45.0％),severe 68 cases (34.0％),respectively.Significant statistical differences were found in health self-management ability and each dimension (F=6.16-9.24,P＜0.01).Conclusion Compared with control group,health self-management skill of periodontitis patients is lower,and it may affect the condition of periodontitis.
