学龄前儿童口腔保健健康教育效果评价

目的:了解健康教育对学龄前儿童及其家长口腔保健知识、行为的影响。方法:以181名学龄前儿童为研究对象,于健康教育前后,应用自制的调查问卷对家长的口腔保健知识和儿童口腔保健行为进行调查。结果:大部分家长都有口腔保健的常识,但对龋齿的饮食预防认识欠缺;通过此次健康教育,认识有所提高,大多数家长在此次健康教育活动中认识到了有效刷牙的重要性,因此在教育前后能够督导幼儿坚持早晨和睡前刷牙,能够做到有效刷牙的幼儿人数有所增加(χ2=4.2395,P=0.039 5)。结论:学龄前儿童预防龋齿的健康教育活动应以学校和家庭为主,教育的内容应重点放在饮食干预上,并且需要采取多种健康教育方式并长期坚持。
