Abstract

BACKGROUND

In orthodontic treatment, it is most important to assess the patient's perspective of malocclusion because these perceptions are fundamental to determining the patient's demands and level of treatment satisfaction. This study was done to assess the knowledge and perception of residents of the Aljouf Region of Saudi Arabia seeking orthodontic treatment. Furthermore, we determined the factors associated with the patients' knowledge and perception of orthodontic treatment.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study was conducted using a pre-tested and validated questionnaire among patients seeking orthodontic treatment who were registered at King Abdulaziz Hospital, Sakaka, and primary health centers. We identified the associated factors using binomial logistic regression analysis. Finally, we applied Spearman's correlation test to identify the correlation between knowledge and perception.

RESULTS

A total of 282 individuals participated in the current study, of which 53.3% were female and 46.1% were male. About one-third (36.9%) of patients had a low level of knowledge, 35.5% had a medium level of knowledge, and 27.7% had a high level of knowledge regarding orthodontic treatment. A total of 20.6% had low perceptions, 42.9% had medium perceptions, and 36.5% had high perceptions of orthodontic care. A significant correlation was found between age and gender, knowledge ( = 0.001), and perception ( = 0.040). Moreover, we observed a positive correlation between knowledge and perception (Spearman's rho = 0.297, = 0.001).

CONCLUSION

People in Aljouf have poor knowledge and medium perception regarding orthodontic treatment. We recommend that the concerned authorities make a health educational plan for the patients seeking orthodontic treatment.

摘要

背景

在正畸治疗中，评估患者对错牙合畸形的看法最重要，因为这些看法是确定患者需求和治疗满意度的基础。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院和初级保健中心寻求正畸治疗的阿卜杜勒阿齐兹地区居民的知识和认知。此外，我们还确定了与患者对正畸治疗的知识和认知相关的因素。

方法

本横断面研究采用预测试和验证的问卷，对在阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院萨卡卡和初级保健中心注册的寻求正畸治疗的患者进行了问卷调查。我们使用二项逻辑回归分析确定相关因素。最后，我们应用 Spearman 相关检验来确定知识与认知之间的相关性。

结果

共有 282 人参与了本研究，其中 53.3%为女性，46.1%为男性。约三分之一（36.9%）的患者对正畸治疗的知识水平较低，35.5%的患者知识水平中等，27.7%的患者知识水平较高。共有 20.6%的患者对正畸护理的看法较低，42.9%的患者看法中等，36.5%的患者看法较高。年龄和性别、知识（ = 0.001）和认知（ = 0.040）之间存在显著相关性。此外，我们观察到知识和认知之间存在正相关（Spearman 相关系数= 0.297， = 0.001）。
