Abstract

AIM

To assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of gynecologists regarding the prevention of oral diseases in Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia.

METHODS

A structured, self administered, close-ended questionnaire was distributed among the randomly chosen sample of 200 gynecologists and their responses were recorded and analyzed.

RESULTS

Nearly half of the respondents knew all the main risk factors of dental caries, gingivitis and malocclusion. An overall mean scores of 16.49 ± 5.63, 6.62 ± 1.59 and 7.13 ± 2.82, were observed for knowledge of risk factors, attitude and practices towards prevention of oral diseases respectively. Gynecologists working in the private hospitals showed signifi cantly higher mean attitude and practice scores towards prevention of oral diseases. A linear positive correlation between knowledge and attitude (r=0.11, p=0.11), knowledge and practice (r=0.07, p=0.26), instead a negative correlation between attitude and practice (r=-0.04, p=0.53) was found by a Spearman's test.

CONCLUSION

Gynecologists considered in the present study showed inadequate oral health knowledge, attitude and practices towards prevention of oral diseases. However, gynecologists expressed their need for further information regarding the prevention of oral diseases.

摘要

目的

评估沙特阿拉伯利雅得市妇科医生关于预防口腔疾病的知识、态度和实践。

方法

向随机抽取的200名妇科医生发放一份结构化、自我填写的封闭式问卷，并记录和分析他们的回答。

结果

近一半的受访者知晓龋齿、牙龈炎和错牙合畸形的所有主要危险因素。分别观察到危险因素知识、对预防口腔疾病的态度和实践的总体平均得分是16.49±5.63、6.62±1.59和7.13±2.82。在私立医院工作的妇科医生对预防口腔疾病的平均态度和实践得分显著更高。通过斯皮尔曼检验发现，知识与态度之间呈线性正相关（r = 0.11，p = 0.11），知识与实践之间呈线性正相关（r = 0.07，p = 0.26），而态度与实践之间呈负相关（r = -0.04，p = 0.53）。
