| Abstract |
Background and Objective: Dental caries is still a major health problem in pre-school children, especially in rural areas of Thailand. In early childhood caries (ECC), parents provide the total care for a child's oral hygiene. Thus, the parents' role is essential for preventing tooth decay in pre-school children both with and without cleft lip and palate. The purpose of this study was to develop the factors that characterize parental behaviors in oral hygiene for the pre-school children.
Material and Method: Exploratory factor analysis was used to test the relationships between the parental behaviors in oral hygiene for the pre-school children and factors from health belief model and from social learning cognitive theory.
Results: The 5 factors found to be related with one another in the analysis, including the child's oral hygiene, the parental behaviors modification in oral hygiene for the pre-school children, parental belief in oral care, parental perception of personal ability, and parental oral hygiene knowledge. These 5 factors were measured by the 14 observation variables, which can be explained with the variance at 68.98%. In addition, food choices and social support were not indicative of oral care practice.
Conclusions: The factor loading can be used to analyze the causal relationships between parental oral hygiene practices and pre-school children oral hygiene. These factors will help to determine the patterns of oral care for all preschool children both with and without the cleft palate at an early age. |
