INTRODUCTION
Mothers are directly responsible for the dental health of their children and play a major role in shaping the dental health behaviors of their children. They also play an important role in preventing oral diseases in them.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the level of attitude of mothers in relation to their pre-school aged children, which in turn can influence the level of oral health.
METHOD
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 312 mothers, selected randomly from eight blocks of Dhanbad district, Jharkhand, India. They were administered with a structured questionnaire on attitude, by an interviewer.
RESULTS
The overall data indicated that the attitude of mothers about oral health in their pre-school children increased as their age increased which was not statistically significant (p>.066). Mothers who had less than higher secondary school education and belonged to socio-economically lower groups had poor knowledge of oral health which was statistically significant (p<.001).
CONCLUSION
Mothers should be motivated so that their attitude about their child's oral health is enhanced which in turn would improve their oral health related quality of life.
引言
母亲对孩子的口腔健康直接负责，在塑造孩子的口腔健康行为方面发挥着主要作用。她们在预防孩子口腔疾病方面也起着重要作用。
目的
评估母亲对其学龄前儿童的态度水平，这反过来又会影响口腔健康水平。
方法
在印度贾坎德邦丹巴德区的八个街区随机抽取312名母亲进行横断面研究。由一名访谈员向她们发放一份关于态度的结构化问卷。
结果
总体数据表明，母亲对学龄前儿童口腔健康的态度随年龄增长而增加，但无统计学意义（p>.066）。教育程度低于高中且属于社会经济较低群体的母亲对口腔健康的认知较差，具有统计学意义（p<.001）。
结论
应激励母亲，以增强她们对孩子口腔健康的态度，这反过来又会改善她们与口腔健康相关的生活质量。
