BACKGROUND
To explore the perceptions and experience of oral health management among rural older people in China.
METHODS
Qualitative methodologies were used in this study. Face-to-face semi-structured interviews were conducted. Thirteen older adults in rural areas were purposively sampled at two metropolitan hospitals in Hunan, China. The data were transcribed and thematically analyzed, and MAXQDA software was used to assist with coding.
RESULTS
Three overarching major themes and ten sub‑themes capturing the perceptions and experience of oral health management among rural older people were identified. Three themes emerged from the thematic analysis: oral health cognitive bias, poor management behaviors, and limited oral health services. Oral health management as a whole is negative, oral health behaviors are poor, oral health service utilization is limited.
CONCLUSIONS
Based on these findings, there is great scope here for improving the current status of oral health for rural older people around awareness, behavior, and access. Oral health education, improved oral health services and primary oral health promotion are warranted.
背景
探索中国农村老年人对口腔健康管理的认知和体验。
方法
本研究采用定性方法。在湖南的两家大都市医院，通过面对面的半结构式访谈，对 13 名农村老年人进行了目的性抽样。对数据进行转录和主题分析，并使用 MAXQDA 软件协助编码。
结果
确定了农村老年人口腔健康管理认知和体验的三个总体主题和十个子主题。主题分析得出了三个主题：口腔健康认知偏差、不良管理行为和有限的口腔健康服务。口腔健康管理整体呈负面，口腔健康行为不佳，口腔健康服务利用率有限。
结论
基于这些发现，在提高农村老年人的口腔健康意识、行为和获取途径方面，有很大的空间可以改善当前的口腔健康状况。需要进行口腔健康教育、改善口腔健康服务和初级口腔健康促进。
