High school students' oral hygiene habits and consumption of sweets and snacks during distance education : Effects of covid-19 (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Syftet var att jämföra gymnasieelevers munhygienvanor samt konsumtion av sötsaker och snacks, före respektive under distansundervisning, till följd av covid-19-pandemin. Med två frågeställningar, vilka syftade till att jämföra kvinnor och män. Metod: Metoden var en kvantitativ enkätstudie där 215 gymnasieelever i årskurs tre, vilka haft distansundervisning under läsåret 2020–2021, bjöds in till deltagande. Data analyserades genom Fisher exact test, där statistisk signifikans ansågs vid p≤0.05. Resultat: Totalt deltog 86 gymnasieelever. Resultatet visade statistisk signifikant skillnad vid jämförelse av samtliga respondenters tandborstningsfrekvens (p=0.040), mellanrumsrengöringsfrekvens (p=0.001) samt konsumtion av sötsaker och snacks (p=0.001) före respektive under distansundervisning. Vid jämförelse förändrades kvinnornas tandborstningsfrekvens mer än männens (p=0.026 respektive p=o.411). Slutsats: Både munhygienvanor och konsumtion av sötsaker och snacks har påverkats i hög grad av distansundervisning till följd av covid-19-pandemin. Minskad tandborstningsfrekvens och ökad konsumtion av sötsaker och snacks bidrar till risk för oral ohälsa. 

Abstract [en]

Aim: The purpose was to compare high school students’ oral hygiene habits and consumption of sweets and snacks before and during distance education, because of the covid-19-pandemic. With two question statements, which aimed to compare women and men. Method: The method was a quantitative questionnaire study in which 215 high school students in year three who had distance education during the academic year 2020-2021 were invited to participate. Data were analyzed through the Fisher exact test; statistical significance was considered at p≤0.05. Results: A total of 86 students participated. The results showed statistically significant difference when comparing all respondents' toothbrushing frequency (p=0.040), frequency of interdental cleaning (p=0.001) and consumption of sweets and snacks (p=0.001) before and during distance education. By comparison, women's toothbrushing frequency changed more than men's (p=0.026 respectively p=o.411). Conclusion: Both oral hygiene habits and consumption of sweets and snacks have been affected by distance education because of the covid-19-pandemic. Reduced toothbrushing frequency and increased consumption of sweets and snacks contribute to risk of oral diseases.
