Abstract [sv]

Syfte: Att studera sambandet mellan känsla av sammanhang (KASAM), oralt hälsorelaterat beteende, kunskap om och attityd till oral hälsa i en vuxen svensk befolkning. Metod: En tvärsnittsstudie där ett stratifierat urval av 910 individer, i åldrarna 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 och 80 år erbjöds att delta i studien. I undersökningen användes den svenska kortversionen (13 frågor) av Antonovsky’s livsfrågeformulär som mäter känslan av sammanhang samt ett frågeformulär gällande oralt hälsorelaterat beteende, kunskap om samt attityder till oral hälsa. Dessutom ingick frågor gällande sociodemografiska faktorer. Totalt var det 589 individer som samtyckte att delta i studien. Resultat: Totalt var det 525 individer, 261 men och 264 kvinnor, som besvarade alla 13 frågorna i SOC frågeformuläret, vilket utgjorde det slutliga materialet vid analyserna. Bivariata analyser visade på samband mellan högre KASAM medel poäng och beteende såsom färre söta drycker och färre antal mellanmål/ dag, jämfört med individer med lägre KASAM medel poäng. Individer med högre KASAM hade också en mer positive attityd såsom påståenden om att vara nöjd med tandvården, betydelsen av att ha egna tänder när man blir äldre, nöjd med egna tänder, anser sig ha bra tänder samt ingen känsla av obehag att uppsöka tandvården. Individer med högre KASAM poäng hade även ett signifikant samband med kunskap om karies. Dessa samband, förutom variabeln söta drycker, kvarstod efter kontrollering för alla sociodemografiska faktorerna (kön, ålder, civilstånd, inkomst, utbildning och yrkesnivå). Stark KASAM och god kunskap om karies var statistiskt signifikant, efter kontrollering för ålder och kön. Sammanfattning: KASAM hade ett statistiskt signifikant samband med oralt hälsoorelaterat beteende, attityder till oral hälsa samt kunskap om karies. I arbetet med oralt hälsofrämjande arbete, skulle KASAM kunna vara ett verktyg för att främja en större förståelse för individers beteende, attityder till och kunskap om oral hälsa och  möjliggöra för tandvårdspersonal att använda denna kunskap i kommunikation med individer och grupper.

Abstract [en]

Objective. To investigate sense of coherence in relation to oral health status in an adult Swedish population in order to better understand the determinants of positive oral health-promoting behavior and differences in oral health.

Material and methods. A stratified random sample of 910 individuals from Jönköping, Sweden aged 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 years was obtained. The investigation used the Swedish short version of the Sense of Coherence (SOC) questionnaire comprising 13 items and a self-report questionnaire to elicit demographic information. In addition, a clinical and radiographic oral examination was performed.

Results. A total of 525 individuals, 261 men and 264 women, consented to participate in the study. Bivariate analysis revealed that higher mean SOC scores were statistically significantly associated with more decayed and filled surfaces (DFS) and filled surfaces (FS), fewer decayed surfaces (DS), fewer teeth with calculus and periodontal health. Multivariate analysis showed that higher SOC scores represented a predictor of fewer occurrences of a periodontal probing pocket depth of ‡4 mm and a lower risk of plaque in different regression models.

Conclusions. Higher SOC scores may be a protective determinant of plaque and periodontal disease, indicating an association between SOC and oral health.

Abstract [en]

Background:

Antonovsky’s concept of ‘‘sense of coherence’’ (SOC) has been shown to be related to health. The aim of this study was to describe the distribution of SOC scores and their components in an adult Swedish population aged 20–80 years.

Methods:

A random sample of 910 individuals from Jönköping, Sweden, aged 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 years, of which589 agreed to participate in an oral health examination. The participants answered Antonovsky’s 13-item version of ‘‘the lifeorientation questionnaire scale’’. The response to the items and the distribution of the three components ofcomprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness were analyzed for different age groups and genders using meanvalues and standard deviations, Student’s t-test and ANOVA.

Results:

A total of 526 individuals, 263 men and 263 women,answered all 13 questions and constituted the final material for the study (response rate 89%). The individual SOC scoreincreased with age. The 20 year olds had a statistically significantly lower SOC score compared with the other age groups and55% of them had a low SOC (≤66 points) compared with 17% of the 80 year olds. Men in the 60 and 70 year age groups hada statistically significantly higher SOC score compared with women of the same age.

Conclusions:

The individualdistribution of SOC varied with age and gender. Twenty year olds had a significantly lower SOC score comparedwith elderly age groups. Elderly men had a statistically significantly higher SOC score compared with women ofthe same age.

Abstract [en]

Objectives The Sense of coherence (SOC) questionnaire estimate an individual’s degree of an inside strength leading to a health promoting behaviour. The aim was to investigate sense of coherence in relation to oral health status. Method A stratified random sample of 910 individuals from Jönköping, Sweden, aged 20,30,40,50,60,70 and 80 years old, was used. The investigation contained the Swedish short version of  the SOC questionnaire with 13-items and a self-reported questionnaire about demographic information, oral health related behaviour and attitudes to oral health. In addition a clinical and radiographical examination was performed. Results A total of 525 individuals participated in the study, 261 men and 264 women. Socioeconomic factors such as age, marital status, income and education had a statistical significant association to SOC.  Bivariate analyse showed that higher mean SOC scores had a statistically significant relationships with more decayed filled surfaces (DFS) and filled surfaces (FS), less caries severity, less teeth with calculus and a better periodontal health. Logistic regression analysis showed that Individuals with high SOC score were predictive of high DFS (OR=3.3, CI 1.14-9.36) and FS  (OR=2.1, CI 0.98-4.31) but low gingivitis scores (OR=0.54, CI 0.30-0.95). After controlling for age, high SOC scores showed a protective effect for gingivitis (OR=0.52,  CI 0.29-0.94) and plaque (OR=0.61, CI 0.36-1.04). Conclusions Socioeconomic factors had an association with SOC. Statistical associations were found between SOC scores and oral health status with regard to several  important oral clinical variables and high SOC scores may indicate a protective determinant for gingivitis and plaque.

Abstract [sv]

Känslan av sammanhang (KASAM) är ett frågeformulär som skattar förmågan till ett hälsofrämjande beteende. Syftet var att analysera sambandet mellan KASAM, sociodemografiska faktorer samt oralt status. Material och Metod: Populationen bestod av ett stratifierat slumpmässigt urval bestående av 910 individer från Jönköping, i åldrarna 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 och 80 år. Instrument som användes var den korta versionen av KASAM (13 frågor) samt ett frågeformulär innehållande sociodemografiska frågor. En klinisk och röntgenologisk undersökning genomfördes i anslutning till utlämnandet av enkäterna. Resultat: Totalt deltog 525 individer, 261 men och 264 kvinnor. Sociodemografiska faktorer som ålder, civilstånd, inkomst och utbildning hade en statistisk signifikant association med KASAM. Bivariat analys visade att individer med högre KASAM medelvärde hade statistiskt signifikant fler karierade och fyllda ytor (DFS) och fyllda ytor (FS), färre karierade ytor, färre tänder med tandsten och bättre parodontal hälsa. Efter kontrollering för bakgrundsfaktorer såsom kön, civilstånd, inkomst, utbildning och yrkesnivå, visade det sig att individer med hög KASAM poäng hade en större risk för högre DFS och FS men mindre risk för gingivit. Efter justering för ålder, visades hög KASAM poäng ha en förklarande betydelse för gingivit och plack. Konklusion: Sociodemografiska faktorer hade ett samband med KASAM. Dessutom visade analyserna samband mellan KASAM och fler viktiga orala variabler. Ytterligare studier rekommenderas avseende sambanden mellan KASAM och oral hälsa, där bl a oralt hälsobeteende och attityder till tandvård studeras.

Abstract [en]

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive value of the traditional multidimensional health locus of control (MHLC) scale, a corresponding dental health locus of control (DHLC) scale and dental health values (DHVs) regarding students' dental health before and after a video programme that presented information about dental diseases and instructions on oral hygiene. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A group of 217 university students participated in this study. Before the video programme was presented, assessments were made of MHLC, DHLC and DHVs. Plaque and gingival indices were obtained in a clinical examination conducted before (plaque index [PLI] 1 and gingival index [GI] 1) and 10 weeks after (PLI 2 and GI 2) the presentation of the programme. RESULTS: The percentage of tooth surfaces exhibiting plaque and of sites involving gingivitis decreased and was statistically significant between baseline and re-examination for both males and females. The females exhibited statistically significant better PLI 1 and GI 1 values and stronger DHVs than males. Also, better GI 1 values were found to be statistically significant and related to stronger DHVs for females. A stronger trust in the dental health personnel regarding the dental health was related to more gingivitis at the initial examination (GI 1). For males, stronger internal DHLC was related to more plaque at the final examination (PLI 2). CONCLUSION: The only psychological scales that showed some relationship to the measures of dental health were DHLC and DHVs. Gender was the strongest related variable to dental health.

Abstract [en]

Objective: Antonovsky´s concept ‘Sense of coherence’ (SOC) has shown to be related with health, and a person with high level of SOC has an adaptive health behavior. The aim was to investigate the individual distribution regarding ‘Sense of coherence’ and oral health in an adult population. Method: A random sample of 589 individuals from Jönköping, Sweden, aged 20,30,40,50,60,70 and 80 years old, was used. Clinical and radio graphical examinations were performed and a questionnaire measuring attitudes, knowledge of oral health and SOC (13-items) was included. Total SOC score and the three components; comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness which SOC is built upon was analyzed. Results: A total of 526 individuals participated in the study, 263 men and 263 women. The individual SOC showed an increase with age, and the youngest group (20-year-olds) had a significantly lower SOC compared to the other age groups. Elderly men had a significantly higher SOC compared to women in the same age (60 and 70 age groups). Analysing the three components, comprehensibility has significantly lower mean, compared to manageability and meaningfulness for the 20-year-olds. When divided SOC score in low (<66 points) and high (>76 points) SOC score, 55% among 20-years-old had low SOC score compared to 18% for 80-years-old. Preliminary results showed that individuals with high SOC score had significant more number of decayed and filled surfaces (DFS) compared to individuals with low SOC. Conclusion: The distribution of SOC score differed regarding age and gender. Younger people had a lower SOC score compared to elderly age groups. A clear association was found between SOC scores and oral health measured by number of DFS.

The individual SOC score showed an increase with age, and the youngest group (20 years) had a significantly lower SOC score compared to the other age groups. Elderly men had a statistical significantly higher SOC compared to the elderly women (60 and 70 age groups). Analysing the three components, comprehensibility had statistical significantly higher mean SOC score, compared to manageability and meaningfulness. When dividing the participants into two subgroups, one with low (<66 points) and one with high (> 76 points) SOC score respectively, 55% among 20 years old had low SOC score compared to 18% for 80 years olds. The result described different personalities, depending on high and low SOC scores in comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, according to Antonovsky´s model about the dynamic relations between the three components in SOC. Preliminary results showed that individuals with high SOC had statistical significant more number of decayed and filled surfaces (DFS) compared to individuals with low SOC. Conclusion: The distribution of SOC score differed regarding age and gender. Younger individuals had lower SOC scores compared to elderly individuals. A clear association was found between SOC scores and oral health measured by number of DFS.
