OBJECTIVES
To reveal mothers' beliefs about signs and symptoms associated with teething and their treatment practices.
POPULATION AND METHODS
A cross-sectional study done in Mansoura District on 457 mothers and their children with one or more erupted teeth. Mothers were interviewed during vaccination session at 25 chosen health facilities. Mothers were asked whether they agree or disagree about 24 signs and symptoms claimed to be associated with teething.
RESULTS
Only 1.8% reported no symptoms at the time of teething. Majority had correct knowledge related to bite fingers/objects (70.5%) and drooling (60.0%). Inaccurate knowledge was reported as gum rubbing (42.0%), gum swelling (47.0%), diarrhea (51.0%), fever (83.2%) and weight loss (46.0%). Only 16.8% of mothers have good knowledge about teething problems. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the independent predictors of good knowledge are higher education (AOR = 3.7), urban residence (AOR = 2.5) and having a first-born child (AOR = 5.5). Only 13.4% of mothers did not give any treatment for teething problems. Antipyretics and antibiotics were the most frequently given treatments (71.3%, and 24.3%; respectively).
CONCLUSIONS
The majorities of mothers had low knowledge about teething problems and gave unnecessary treatments.
目的
揭示母亲们对于出牙相关体征和症状及其治疗方法的看法。
研究对象与方法
在曼苏拉区对457名有一个或多个已萌出牙齿的母亲及其孩子进行了一项横断面研究。在25家选定的医疗机构的疫苗接种期间对母亲进行访谈。询问母亲们对于24种据称与出牙相关的体征和症状是否认同。
结果
只有1.8%的母亲报告出牙时没有症状。大多数母亲对咬手指/物品（70.5%）和流口水（60.0%）有正确认知。错误认知包括摩擦牙龈（42.0%）、牙龈肿胀（47.0%）、腹泻（51.0%）、发烧（83.2%）和体重减轻（46.0%）。只有16.8%的母亲对出牙问题有充分了解。逻辑回归分析显示，充分了解的独立预测因素是高学历（优势比=3.7）、城市居住（优势比=2.5）和生育第一个孩子（优势比=5.5）。只有13.4%的母亲未对出牙问题进行任何治疗。退烧药和抗生素是最常使用的治疗方法（分别为71.3%和24.3%）。
结论
大多数母亲对出牙问题了解不足，并进行了不必要的治疗。
