Abstract

AIM

The aim of this study was to assess the association between Sense of Coherence (SOC) and toothbrushing behaviours in Iranian adolescents in Mashhad.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A representative stratified random sample of 1054 grade 6 Iranian students, living in Mashhad, answered a 37-item questionnaire with questions on socio-demographic characteristics, frequency of toothbrushing behaviours and Antonovsky's 13-item SOC scale. Binary logistic regression was used to test the association between SOC and toothbrushing behaviours.

RESULTS

Higher SOC scores were significantly associated with more frequent toothbrushing behaviours (p=0.01). This positive association remained significant after adjusting for sex and father's education level (p=0.01). When testing this association for the boys and girls separately, the association was significant only for girls (p=0.02). However, the interaction between sex and SOC was not significant (p=0.56). The association between toothbrushing and sex remained significant after adjusting for SOC (p<0.001). Boys had a significantly stronger SOC than girls (p=0.04).

CONCLUSIONS

SOC was associated with toothbrushing frequency in Iranian adolescents in Mashhad. SOC did not fully explain the sex difference in toothbrushing behaviours.

摘要

目的

本研究旨在评估伊朗马什哈德青少年的意识感（SOC）与刷牙行为之间的关系。

材料和方法

对伊朗马什哈德的 1054 名六年级学生进行了具有代表性的分层随机抽样，他们回答了一个包含社会人口特征、刷牙行为频率和 Antonovsky 的 13 项 SOC 量表问题的 37 项问卷。使用二元逻辑回归检验 SOC 与刷牙行为之间的关联。

结果

更高的 SOC 评分与更频繁的刷牙行为显著相关（p=0.01）。在调整性别和父亲教育水平后，这种积极的关联仍然显著（p=0.01）。分别对男孩和女孩进行测试时，这种关联仅在女孩中显著（p=0.02）。然而，性别和 SOC 之间的交互作用不显著（p=0.56）。调整 SOC 后，刷牙与性别的关联仍然显著（p<0.001）。男孩的 SOC 明显高于女孩（p=0.04）。
