This paper examines issues related to oral hygiene performance. Results from interviews with 113 adults who had received oral hygiene instruction in eight general dental practices are presented with an emphasis on three issues--the respondents' tooth cleaning pattern (the location within other routines of tooth cleaning), the respondents' tooth cleaning structure (the range of items used in tooth cleaning) and the reported content of the oral hygiene instruction given. Respondents reported that the oral hygiene instruction concentrated upon issues of tooth cleaning structure and did not consider issues of tooth cleaning pattern. The two variables (structure and pattern) were cross-tabulated to create an hypothesis to explain individual variation in tooth cleaning performance. The implications of this hypothesis for understanding patient compliance and developing further quantitative investigations are described.
本文探讨了与口腔卫生表现相关的问题。文中呈现了对113名在八家普通牙科诊所接受过口腔卫生指导的成年人的访谈结果，重点关注三个问题——受访者的牙齿清洁模式（牙齿清洁在其他日常活动中的位置）、受访者的牙齿清洁结构（牙齿清洁所使用物品的范围）以及所报告的口腔卫生指导内容。受访者表示，口腔卫生指导集中在牙齿清洁结构问题上，而未考虑牙齿清洁模式问题。对这两个变量（结构和模式）进行交叉制表，以创建一个假设来解释牙齿清洁表现的个体差异。文中描述了这一假设对于理解患者依从性以及开展进一步定量研究的意义。
