Abstract

本研究目的在瞭解與探討高中學生口腔衛生行為及其相關因素。以自編結構式問卷為工具，採分層集束抽樣方式，共得有效樣本441份，有效回收率為98.9％。本研究主要發現如下： 一、研究對象口腔衛生知識整體而言，呈現中上程度，以二年級，且家庭社經地位低的人有較高的口腔衛生知識。 二、研究對象口腔衛生態度整體而言，呈現中上程度的正向態度，會因看牙醫經驗而心生警惕的人，其潔牙的態度較正向。 三、研究對象口腔衛生行為整體而言，呈現中上程度的正向行為，當家人、導師、同學或朋友會提醒刷牙者，其青少年口腔衛生行為較好；導師若會提醒且自身有刷牙習慣者其行為表現會較好；看過牙醫的人不但會有較好的行為且會改善先前不良的刷牙習慣。 四、在研究對象口腔衛生行為預測中，社會人口學變項、口腔衛生知識及口腔衛生態度等變項有顯著的預測力，其中以｢一年級｣、｢半年內有看牙醫｣、｢看牙醫後有心生警惕｣、｢口腔衛生態度越正向｣影響力最強，採取的口腔衛生行為也越好，總解釋力為23.7%。The purpose of this study was to realize and investigate the oral health behavior and related factors about Senior high students of one school in Taipei.
