In regard to the current problems and deficiencies of preschool children's oral health, diversity of health education intervention was carried out, and the effect was evaluated.
Three kindergartens in Pudong New District were randomly selected. The children's age ranged from 4 to 5 years old. One hundred and ten children from one kindergarten were randomly selected as the intervention group, executing special health training and various related health education activities for a period of 1 year. Another 220 children from 2 kindergartens were chosen as control group, no special health education and behavior intervention were given. After the interventional period, the situation of children with suffering from dental caries in the intervention group and the control group, scores of oral health knowledge, and the improvement of behavior were compared. SPSS19.0 software package was used for statistical analysis.
After 1 year of health education intervention, scores of oral knowledge and oral health behaviors in the interventional group increased significantly. However, caries prevalence and the average number of caries had no significant differences between the 2 groups.
The diversity of oral health education plays a positive role in the kindergarten for pre-school children's oral health knowledge, attitude and behavior change.
针对当前学龄前儿童口腔健康存在的问题与不足，开展多元化健康教育干预并进行效果评价。
随机选取浦东新区3所幼儿园。儿童年龄在4至5岁之间。从1所幼儿园随机抽取110名儿童作为干预组，进行为期1年的专项健康培训及各类相关健康教育活动。从另外2所幼儿园选取220名儿童作为对照组，不给予特殊健康教育及行为干预。干预期结束后，比较干预组和对照组儿童患龋情况、口腔健康知识得分及行为改善情况。采用SPSS19.0软件包进行统计分析。
经过1年的健康教育干预，干预组口腔知识得分及口腔健康行为显著提高。然而，两组间的龋齿患病率及平均龋齿数无显著差异。
口腔健康教育的多元化对幼儿园学龄前儿童口腔健康知识、态度和行为改变起到积极作用。
