Abstract

Aim: The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to assess parents' knowledge on pediatric sleep apnea and their attitudes regarding the role of the orthodontist in the diagnosis and management of sleep apnea.Materials and Methods: A questionnaire designed to evaluate awareness and views about pediatric sleep apnea was given to a convenience sample of parents visiting a university clinic for the orthodontic treatment of their children. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics including means and frequencies. Pearson's chi-square statistics were used in order to determine the correlation between knowledge items questioned and demographic variables. Results: The survey was completed by 260 parents (mean age: 40.7±6.6 years, 169 female, 91 male). The majority of parents thought it was very important for dentists and orthodontists to identify increased risk for medical conditions (76.5% and 76.2%, respectively). The parents were also willing to have an orthodontist screen their child (92.7%) and they would accept a referral to a sleep specialist if suggested by the orthodontist (97.5%). Even though most of the parents had some basic knowledge about the disease, the majority did not know about the etiology, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, health consequences and treatment of pediatric sleep apnea. A higher educational level and knowledge about the disease showed a statistically significant relationship (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that the parents are well-disposed towards chairside screening for sleep apnea in an orthodontic clinic. Low knowledge level showed the need of developing educational interventions aimed at optimizing pediatric sleep apnea knowledge among parents

Özet

Amaç: Bu kesitsel çalışmanın amacı ebeveynlerin pediatrik uyku apnesi ile ilgili bilgilerini ve ortodontistin bu hastalığın teşhis ve tedavisindeki yeri ile ilgili fikirlerini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Pediatrik uyku apnesi hakkındaki farkındalık ve görüşleri ölçmek üzere tasarlanmış bir anket, çocuklarının ortodontik tedavisi için bir üniversite ortodonti kliniğine başvuran uygun örneklem grubu ebeveynlere uygulandı. Elde edilen veriler ortalama ve sıklıkları içeren tanımlayıcı istatistikler ile analiz edildi. Demografik değişkenler ile sorgulanan bilgi maddeleri arasındaki korelasyonlar Pearson ki-kare testi kullanılarak incelendi. Bulgular: Anket toplam 260 ebeveyn tarafından cevaplandı. (Ortalama yaş: 40,7±6,6 yıl, 169 kadın, 91 erkek). Ebeveynlerin çoğu, diş hekimleri ve ortodontistlerin tıbbi hastalık riskleri yönünden çocuklarında değerlendirme yapmasının çok önemli olduğu görüşündeydi (sırasıyla %76,5 ve %76,2). Ebeveynler aynı zamanda ortodontistin çocuklarını uyku apnesi riski yönünden değerlendirmesini isteyeceklerini (%92,7) ve eğer ortodontist yönlendirirse uyku apnesi açısından değerlendirilmek üzere çocuklarını doktora götüreceklerini (%97,5) belirttiler. Çoğu ebeveyn pediatrik uyku apnesi hakkında temel düzeyde bir bilgiye sahip olmasına rağmen, bu hastalığın etyolojisi, semptomları, teşhisi, sonuçları ve tedavileri hakkında bilgileri yoktu. Artmış eğitim seviyesi, pediatrik uyku apnesi hakkındaki bilgi düzeyi ile anlamlı düzeyde ilişkiliydi (p<0,05). Sonuç: Sonuçlar ortodonti kliniğine başvuran ebeveynlerin çocuklarının uyku apnesi yönünden incelenmesine olumlu baktığını göstermiştir. Ancak bilgi düzeylerinin düşüklüğü, ebeveynler arasında pediatrik uyku apnesi farkındalığını arttırmak için eğitsel yöntemlerin geliştirilmesi gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur
