Children's oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL) evaluates the impacts of oral daily activities of children and family on quality of life. Oral health related quality of life as outcome can be used to evaluate the dental health services. This study aimed to assess the extent to which dental treatment under general anesthesia affects quality of life of children and their families.
One hundred parents of 3-10 year-old children who needed dental treatment under general anesthesia completed a parent-children perception questionnaire (P-CPQ) and family impact scale (FIS) before, and 4 weeks after dental treatment under general anesthesia. The questionnaire had statements related to oral health, functional limitation, emotional state and well being social well-being and family issues. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 11.5.
The mean scores and standard deviations of oral health quality of life of the children before and after dental treatment were 43.3 ± 7.14 and 39.24 ± 5.47 respectively. The mean scores of FIS before and after dental treatment were 8.00 ± 3.21 and 3.66 ± 2.62, respectively. The effect size of mean differences in P-CPQ and FIS scores were 1.84 ± 1.64 and 1.35 ± 4.34, respectively.
Provision of dental treatment under general anesthesia for uncooperative, young children with extensive dental problems had significant effects on quality of life of both children and their families.
儿童口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）评估儿童及家庭的口腔日常活动对生活质量的影响。口腔健康相关生活质量作为结果可用于评估牙科保健服务。本研究旨在评估全身麻醉下的牙科治疗对儿童及其家庭生活质量的影响程度。
100名需要全身麻醉下进行牙科治疗的3至10岁儿童的家长在全身麻醉下进行牙科治疗前及治疗后4周完成了一份亲子感知问卷（P-CPQ）和家庭影响量表（FIS）。该问卷包含与口腔健康、功能受限、情绪状态、幸福、社会福祉和家庭问题相关的陈述。使用SPSS 11.5版对数据进行分析。
牙科治疗前后儿童口腔健康生活质量的平均得分及标准差分别为43.3±7.14和39.24±5.47。牙科治疗前后FIS的平均得分分别为8.00±3.21和3.66±2.62。P-CPQ和FIS得分平均差异的效应量分别为1.84±1.64和1.35±4.34。
为不合作的、患有广泛牙科问题的幼儿提供全身麻醉下的牙科治疗对儿童及其家庭的生活质量有显著影响。
