Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current status and influencing factors of self-efficacy for oral self-care in patients with chronic periodontitis. Methods A total of 357 patients with chronic periodontitis were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire, Self-Efficacy Scale for Self-care (SESS), Dental Fear Scale(DFS) and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire(MCMQ). Results The total score of SESS was(58.66±7.27)points,which was at the medium level.In the scores of each dimension, self-efficacy for dietary habits was the highest,(20.42 ± 2.88)points,and self-efficacy for brushing of the teeth was the lowest,(18.37 ± 2.94)points.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age,dental fear and medical coping mode were influencing factors of self-efficacy for oral self-care,which explained 53.6% of the variance. Conclusions Medical staff should pay more attention to the patients who are in low level of self-efficacy for self-care.Oriented by each dimension and influencing factors,specific psychological intervention should be given to reduce dental fear,improve medical coping style,enhance the level of self-efficacy for oral self-care and promote oral self-care behaviors and somatopsychic health.
