摘要

目的：观察社区口腔健康教育对老年居民口腔健康的影响。方法选取2014年12月～2015年12月社区老年居民200例作为研究对象，随机将其分为对照组和观察组各100例。对照组在首次免费发放牙刷及牙膏时给予简单讲解刷牙的必要性和正确刷牙的方法；观察组在免费发放牙刷及牙膏同时，期间举办口腔健康教育讲座和进行4次一对一健康教育会谈。比较两组居民入选时及12个月后老年口腔健康评价指数（GOHAI）。结果两组干预前生理功能、疼痛与不适、心理功能、行为影响、GOHAI总分比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）；对照组干预后生理功能、疼痛与不适、心理功能、行为影响、GOHAI总分与干预前比较差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）；观察组患者健康宣教干预12个月后生理功能、疼痛与不适、心理功能、行为影响、GOHAI总分均明显低于干预前和对照组干预12个月后，且比较差异均有统计学意义（P＜0.05）。结论社区口腔健康教育能够有效增强社区老年居民口腔健康意识，改善居民的口腔健康状况。%Objective To investigate the influence of oral health education to oral health of elderly residents in the community.
