Factors influencing caries prevalence in children and adolescents with a foreign background living in Nordic countries. (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Var att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar kariesförekomst hos barn och ungdomar med utländsk bakgrund i Norden. Metod: En allmänlitteraturstudie som är uppbyggd på 10 vetenskapliga artiklar som har genomgått en kvalitetsgranskning och som inkluderades mot att vara relevanta för studiens syfte. Litteraturinsalingen har samlats in genom 3 databaser, CINAHL, DOSS och MEDLINE som är grundade inom området omvårdnad, odontologi samt medicin för att ansamla relevanta artiklar. Resultat: Barn och ungdomar med utländsk bakgrund i Norden löper en ökad risk för karies på grund av både externa och interna faktorer. Externa faktorer, såsom socioekonomiska förhållanden, föräldrarnas ursprung, föräldrarnas ålder vid migration, kulturella influenser, föräldrars kunskaper och attityder om oral hälsa. Interna faktorer inkluderar ohälsosamma kostvanor och bristande munhygien, vilket också var avgörande för utländska barn och ungdomars kariesutveckling. Slutsats: Barn och ungdomar med utländsk bakgrund som bor i Norden är mer utsatta för karies än de utan utländsk bakgrund.  Kariesförekomsten i denna målgrupp påverkas av både externa och interna faktorerna. Särskilda riskfaktorer som var betydande för målgruppen inkluderade socioekonomiska förhållanden, kostvanor och munhygienvanor.

Abstract [en]

Aim: To investigate factors that influence the prevalence of caries in children and adolescents in the Nordic countries with a foreign background. Method: A literature study based on 10 scientific articles that have undergone a quality review and were included to be relevant to the purpose of the study. The literature was collected through 3 databases, CINAHL, DOSS and MEDLINE, which are based in the field of nursing, dentistry and medicine to accumulate relevant articles. Results: Children and adolescents with foreign background living in the Nordic countries are at increased risk of caries due to both external and internal factors. External factors, such as socioeconomic conditions, parental origin, parental age at migration, cultural influences, parental knowledge. Internal factors include unhealthy dietary habits and poor oral hygiene, which were determinants of foreign children and adolescents' caries development. Conclusion: Children and adolescents with foreign backgrounds living in the Nordic countries are more prone to caries than those with non-national backgrounds. Caries prevalence in this target group is influenced by both external and internal factors. Specific risk factors that were significant for the target group included socioeconomic conditions, dietary habits and oral hygiene habits.
