To evaluate the effect parental attitudes have on the dental caries experience of children.
The cross-sectional observational study was conducted at Yeditepe University, Istanbul, Turkey, from March to September 2019, and comprised mothers of children who came to the Department of Paediatric Dentistry for treatment of children. Multi-variable poisson regression model was run to predict prevalence of dental caries. Mothers' attitudes in family were measured using the parental attitude research instrument scores. Data was analysed using Stata 15.
There were 258 mothers of as many children aged 6-15 years. Among the children, 150(58%) were boys and 108(42%) were girls. 'Rejection of traditional housewife role' and 'level of discipline' had a statistically negative correlation (p<0.05), while 'level of marital conflict' had a statistically positive correlation with the prevalence of caries.
Healthy family environment and empowering parental style had a positive effect on the oral health of children.
评估父母态度对儿童龋齿发生的影响。
本横断面观察性研究于 2019 年 3 月至 9 月在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的叶迪特佩大学进行，纳入前来儿科牙科就诊的儿童的母亲。采用多变量泊松回归模型预测龋齿的患病率。使用父母态度研究工具评分来衡量母亲在家庭中的态度。使用 Stata 15 进行数据分析。
共有 258 名 6-15 岁儿童的母亲。在这些儿童中，150 名（58%）为男孩，108 名（42%）为女孩。“拒绝传统家庭主妇角色”和“纪律水平”呈统计学负相关（p<0.05），而“婚姻冲突水平”与龋齿患病率呈统计学正相关。
健康的家庭环境和赋权型父母风格对儿童的口腔健康有积极影响。
