College life is a time when students take more responsibility for health-related behaviors. To determine the oral health behaviors of dental students, to motivate their transformation into cyanogenic behaviors by applying the planned behavior model, and to determine the degree to which students can modify behavior for oral health. The results of the initial and final assessment (4 months apart) of the bacterial plaque present by means of the Quigley Hein and API indexes were collected from the student files. The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II -HPLP II and Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) questionnaires were used to determine the variables with predictor values that influence the cognitive-perceptual factors. For the "health responsibility" domain, the average total value was 2.53 ± 0.9 (SD). For the "interpersonal relationships" domain, the average value was 2.82 ± 0.79. In the case of the "nutrition" domain, the desire to change the behavior of the participants was moderate (2.53 ± 1.19). "Physical activity" represents an important field in the everyday life of young adults. The results of the study indicated a moderate desire for change (2.52 ± 0.97). In the case of "spiritual growth", in which self-esteem, the way the individual perceives the environment and the adaptation to it were evaluated, a great desire for change was observed (2.74 ± 0.82). Scale GSE questionnaire showed an α coefficient of 28.52 ± 0.82, a value that indicated a moderate to a high level of efficacy and self-confidence. The results of the study showed that students have a moderate tendency to change in all areas, except for interpersonal relationships, where the desire to change something is increased. The participants have a moderate to a high level of self-efficacy and self-confidence.
大学生活是学生对与健康相关的行为承担更多责任的时期。为了确定牙科学生的口腔健康行为，通过应用计划行为模型激励他们转变为氰基行为，并确定学生为口腔健康改变行为的程度。通过 Quigley-Hein 和 API 指数收集学生档案中存在的细菌菌斑的初始和最终评估（相隔 4 个月）结果。使用健康促进生活方式量表 II（HPLP II）和一般自我效能感量表（GSE）问卷确定具有预测价值的变量，这些变量会影响认知感知因素。在“健康责任”领域，平均总分为 2.53 ± 0.9（SD）。在“人际关系”领域，平均得分为 2.82 ± 0.79。在“营养”领域，参与者改变行为的愿望是适度的（2.53 ± 1.19）。“体育活动”是年轻人日常生活中的一个重要领域。研究结果表明，参与者有适度的改变愿望（2.52 ± 0.97）。在“精神成长”方面，评估了自尊、个人对环境的感知以及对环境的适应能力，观察到参与者有强烈的改变愿望（2.74 ± 0.82）。GSE 量表问卷的α系数为 28.52 ± 0.82，这表明效能感和自信处于中等至较高水平。研究结果表明，学生在除人际关系之外的所有领域都有适度的改变倾向，而在人际关系领域，改变某些事物的愿望有所增加。参与者具有中等至较高水平的自我效能感和自信。
