We examined the social cognition determinants of parental supervised toothbrushing guided by the health action process approach (HAPA).
In a prospective correlational survey study, participants (N = 185, 84.3% women) completed HAPA social cognition constructs at an initial time point (T1), and 12 weeks later (T2) self-reported on their parental supervised toothbrushing behaviour, toothbrushing habit, and action control.
Structural equation models exhibited adequate fit with the data when past behaviour and habit were either excluded or included. Intention, self-efficacy, planning, and action control were predictors of parental supervised toothbrushing; intention predicted action planning and coping planning; and self-efficacy and attitude were predictors of intention. Indirect effects of social cognition constructs through intentions, and intentions through planning constructs were also observed. Inclusion of past behaviour and habit attenuated model effects.
Results indicate that parental supervised toothbrushing is a function of motivational and volitional processes. This knowledge can be used to inform behaviour change interventions targeting parental supervised toothbrushing.
我们依据健康行动过程方法（HAPA），研究了父母监督刷牙的社会认知决定因素。
在一项前瞻性相关性调查研究中，参与者（N=185，84.3%为女性）在初始时间点（T1）完成了 HAPA 社会认知结构的测量，12 周后（T2）自我报告了父母监督刷牙行为、刷牙习惯和行为控制情况。
当过去的行为和习惯被排除或包含时，结构方程模型均显示出对数据的良好拟合。意图、自我效能感、计划和行为控制是父母监督刷牙的预测因素；意图预测行动规划和应对规划；而自我效能感和态度是意图的预测因素。通过意图和计划结构的间接影响也观察到了社会认知结构的影响。纳入过去的行为和习惯会减弱模型的影响。
研究结果表明，父母监督刷牙是动机和意志过程的功能。这些知识可用于为针对父母监督刷牙的行为改变干预措施提供信息。
