Guardians' experiences of health promotion education in oral health among school children in grades 1 and 2 : Questionnaire study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syfte: För att främja munhälsan hos barn var syftet med studien att undersöka vårdnadshavares erfarenheter av den hälsofrämjande undervisningen i munhälsa som utförts av tandhygieniststudenter bland skolbarn i årskurs 1 och 2. Metod: Studiedesignen var en tvärsnittsstudie som genomfördes via en digital enkät. Urval var vårdnadshavare till skolbarn i årskurs 1 och 2 som deltagit i den hälsofrämjande undervisningen. Totalt deltog fyrtiofem skolbarn i undervisningen och sexton vårdnadshavare besvarade enkäten.Statistisk analys utfördes genom Spermans rangkorrelationkoefficient (rho). Resultat: Vårdnadshavarnas erfarenheter efter den hälsofrämjande undervisningen i skolan påvisade att majoriteten av barnen visat intresse för tandborstning. Vårdnadshavarna nämnde att undervisningen gav ökad motivation, kunskap och medvetenhet. Ett icke signifikant medel-starkt positivt samband visades mellan intresse för att borsta tänderna och om barnet hade pratat om tandborstteknik hemma efter undervisningen (r=0,306, N=16, p=0,249). Slutsats: Vårdnadshavarna uppgav att barnen visat intresse till tandborstning efter undervisningen och att de pratat om tandborstteknik i sin hemmiljö. Det belyser att den hälsofrämjande undervisning kan bidra till medvetenhet kring munhälsa och goda vanor. Vidare forskning behövs för att undersöka effektiviteten av hälsofrämjande undervisning i munhälsa.

Abstract [en]

Aim: In order to promote the oral health of children, the aim of the study was to investigate guardians' experiences of oral health promotion education carried out by dental hygiene students among school children in grades 1 and 2. Method: The study design was a cross-sectional study conducted via a digital questionnaire.The sample was guardians of children in grades 1 and 2 who participated in the health promotion education. A total of forty-five school children participated in the education and sixteen guardians answered the questionnaire. Statistical analysis was performed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (rho). Results: After the education, most children displayed an interest in brushing their teeth, and the guardians mentioned increased motivation, knowledge and awareness. A non-significant medium-strong positive correlation was shown between interest in brushing teeth and discussing toothbrushing techniques at home after the education (r=0.306, N=16, p=0.249). Conclusion: The guardians stated that the children showed interest in toothbrushing after the education and that they talked about toothbrushing techniques in their home environment. This highlights that health promotion education can contribute to oral health awareness and good habits. Further research is needed to investigate the effectiveness of health promotion education in oral health.
