The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence, intensity, and extent of the impacts caused by oral problems, and to compare their intensity and extent by the type of oral problem. Four of seven public schools linked to a Health Center in Lima, Peru, were randomly selected as clusters, and 805 11-12-yr-old children participated in the study (response rate: 89.1%). The Spanish (Peru) child version of the Oral Impact of Daily Performances (Child-OIDP) was used to assess oral impacts. The prevalence of oral impacts was 82.0%. Eating was the daily performance most frequently impacted (48.0%). Among children with impacts, 24.8% reported impacts of severe to very severe intensity, and 73.2% reported impacts affecting between one and three daily performances. When the intensity and extent of the eight most frequently reported oral problems were compared, a statistically significant difference was found only for the extent but not for the intensity of the impacts. Oral impacts on daily performances were very common and relatively severe among the participating Peruvian children. The pattern of the impacts differed according to the type of self-perceived oral problem. However, the differences were reflected in the extent, but not in the intensity, of the impacts.
本研究的目的是确定口腔问题造成的影响的患病率、严重程度和范围,并按口腔问题类型比较其严重程度和范围。与秘鲁利马一家健康中心相关联的七所公立学校中的四所被随机选为群组,805名11至12岁儿童参与了研究(应答率:89.1%)。采用《日常活动口腔影响(儿童版)》的西班牙语(秘鲁)儿童版本来评估口腔影响。口腔影响的患病率为82.0%。饮食是最常受到影响的日常活动(48.0%)。在受到影响的儿童中,24.8%报告有严重至非常严重程度的影响,73.2%报告影响到一至三项日常活动。当比较最常报告的八种口腔问题的严重程度和范围时,发现仅在影响范围上存在统计学显著差异,而在影响严重程度上不存在差异。在参与研究的秘鲁儿童中,口腔对日常活动的影响非常普遍且相对严重。影响模式因自我感知的口腔问题类型而异。然而,差异体现在影响范围而非严重程度上。
