The aim of our study was to analyse the implementation of oral health-related practices in private enhanced service housing units and nursing homes in Finland reported by supervisor nurses.
We sent an anonymous, voluntary Webropol-questionnaire to the supervisor nurses of private enhanced service housing units and nursing homes ( = 245). The questionnaire included items about the implementation of oral healthcare-related practices in the care units and items based on the Nursing Dental Coping Beliefs index (DCBS index). Five dimensions of the implementation of oral healthcare-related practices, Oral hygiene practices and Favourable diet for oral health, Oral hygiene equipment, Professional dental services, and Knowledge and opinions were used as outcomes. The factors in the nursing DCBS index and background variables were used as explanatory variables.
Our main results showed that in care units, Oral hygiene practices, Favourable diet for oral health, Oral hygiene equipment, and Professional dental services were partly implemented. Furthermore, according to Knowledge and opinions supervisor nurses had challenges in oral health-related knowledge and difficulties in managing oral care. In the DCBS index, better self-efficacy in "Managing bleeding gums" was associated with better implementation of oral health practices. Furthermore, supervisor nurses' better own oral health habits were associated with better implementation of oral health-related practices.
It can be concluded that based on the responses of the supervisor nurses, oral health-related practices were partly implemented in private enhanced service housing units and nursing homes in Finland.
我们研究的目的是分析芬兰私立强化服务型住房单元和养老院中，主管护士报告的与口腔健康相关措施的实施情况。
我们向私立强化服务型住房单元和养老院的主管护士（n = 245）发送了一份匿名的自愿网络调查问卷。问卷包括护理单元中与口腔保健相关措施实施情况的项目，以及基于护理牙科应对信念指数（DCBS指数）的项目。口腔保健相关措施实施情况的五个维度，即口腔卫生措施和有利于口腔健康的饮食、口腔卫生设备、专业牙科服务以及知识与意见，被用作研究结果。护理DCBS指数中的因素和背景变量被用作解释变量。
我们的主要结果表明，在护理单元中，口腔卫生措施、有利于口腔健康的饮食、口腔卫生设备和专业牙科服务部分得到了实施。此外，根据知识与意见方面的调查，主管护士在口腔健康相关知识方面存在挑战，在管理口腔护理方面存在困难。在DCBS指数中，“应对牙龈出血”方面更好的自我效能与口腔健康措施的更好实施相关。此外，主管护士自身更好的口腔健康习惯与口腔健康相关措施的更好实施相关。
可以得出结论，根据主管护士的回答，芬兰私立强化服务型住房单元和养老院中与口腔健康相关的措施部分得到了实施。
