新北市某國小高年級學童口腔保健行為意圖及其相關因素之研究

Abstract

本研究旨在探討國小高年級學童口腔保健行為及其相關因素。研究母群體以107學年度就讀於新北市某國小高年級學生為研究對象，以全部母群體為研究樣本，以自填式問卷進行資料收集，共得有效樣本90份，歸納結果如下: 一、研究對象之「口腔保健知識」得分屬中等程度，「口腔保健態度」、 「口腔保健自我效能」、「口腔保健社會支持」及「口腔保健行為」量表得分皆屬中間偏正向。 二、研究對象在年級方面，六年級生「口腔保健自我效能」、「口腔保健社會支持」優於五年級生。學業成績方面，90-100分的學童在「口腔保健知識」得分，優於其他學業成績者。家庭社經地位方面，高社經地位者之「口腔保健行為」優於低社經地位者。 三、研究對象之口腔保健行為分別與「口腔保健態度」、「口腔保健自我效能」及「口腔保健社會支持」呈正相關。 四、研究對象的「口腔保健態度」、「口腔保健自我效能」可解釋其口腔保健行為總變異量的66%，其中又以「口腔保健自我效能」最具影響力。The purpose of this study was to investigate the oral health behaviors of schoolchildren and the related factors. The subjects of this study were high grade students of a primary school in New Taipei City enrolled in the 107th school year. All the high grade students were surveyed with questionnaires. A total of 90 valid samples were obtained. The results are summarized as follows: 1.The scores of the indicator “oral health knowledge” were moderate. As for other four indicators, “oral health knowledge”, “oral health self-efficacy”, “social support and health attitude”, and “oral behavior” showed moderately positive. 2.Sixth grade students outperformed fifth grade students in “oral health self-efficacy” and “social support and health attitude.” Students with high academic performance had better scores in “oral health knowledge”. Students with higher family socioeconomic status outscored those with lower family socioeconomic status in “oral health behavior”. 3.The subjects' oral health behaviors were positively correlated with “oral health attitude”, “oral health self-efficacy” and “social support attitude towards oral health care”. 4.Students' “oral health attitude” and “oral health self-efficacy” accounted for 66 percent of the total variance of oral health behavior, where oral health self-efficacy is the most influential among indicators.
