The aim of this study was to analyse how dental hygienists and in-service trained dental nurses accepted new health promotion programmes, how did they experience them in practice, and how did these programmes affect their attitudes to work.
The subjects were all the dental hygienists and in-service trained dental nurses (n = 28) involved in health promotion of small children. Education and written instructions on two new programmes had been given to the professionals in two areas of Vantaa and those in the third area used the routine programme. The transtheoretical model (TTM) was selected as the theoretical framework for counselling. A structured questionnaire of 31-35 items was sent to all subjects. Independent samples Mann-Whitney U and Fisher's exact tests were used as statistical methods.
The response rate was 89%. All respondents felt that the work they had carried out had always been important during their working career. Twenty-one of 25 respondents reported that the instructions and education were suitable for oral health promotion. The respondents within the new programmes felt they had advanced more as health professionals (P = 0.020) and acquired more confidence from the education (P = 0.018) compared with the routine programme.
The new programmes for small children were well accepted by the dental hygienists and the in-service trained dental nurses, and the majority of them gained some new practices for their work.
本研究旨在分析口腔保健师和在职培训的牙科护士如何接受新的健康促进计划，他们在实践中如何体验这些计划，以及这些计划如何影响他们的工作态度。
研究对象为参与儿童口腔健康促进工作的所有口腔保健师和在职培训的牙科护士（n=28）。在万塔的两个地区向专业人员提供了关于两个新计划的教育和书面说明，而第三个地区的人员则使用常规计划。选择跨理论模型（TTM）作为咨询的理论框架。向所有对象发送了一份 31-35 个项目的结构化问卷。使用独立样本曼-惠特尼 U 检验和 Fisher 确切检验作为统计方法。
应答率为 89%。所有受访者都认为他们在工作生涯中所从事的工作一直很重要。25 名受访者中有 21 名报告说，说明和教育适合口腔健康促进。与常规计划相比，新计划中的受访者认为自己作为健康专业人员的进步更大（P=0.020），并且从教育中获得了更多的信心（P=0.018）。
新的儿童计划得到了口腔保健师和在职培训的牙科护士的良好接受，他们中的大多数人获得了一些新的工作实践。
