Abstract

The aim of this study is to asses the prevalence of daily tooth brushing among young adults in turkish subpopulation and evaluate some variables associated. A cross-sectional study was carried out in 645 young adults 19 to 29 years old in Ankara, Turkey.. Information of some variables like parents’ education level, socioeconomic indicator, oral hygiene habits and attitudes were collected through a questionnaire. The frequency of tooth brushing was categorized into eight groups. Chi-square test was used for analysis.The mean age was 20,72. The frequency of once a day tooth brushing was 18,3% (n=118), multiple times tooth brushing on a day’s frequency was 6.4%(n=41) and beginning regularly tooth brushing after joining military was 23.1% (n=149). The prevelance of tooth brushing (p<0.05) among the young adults, who have more educated parents, was higher. There was statistically significant difference between tooth brushing fequency of young adults and their economic status (p<0.05). Parents’ and person’s maximum level of schooling (as an indicator of socio-economic position) was associated with higher frequency of tooth brushing. And there was a correlation between tooth brushing frequency and person’s average earning. Parents are being role model for the oral health behavior of their children.

Özet

Türk toplumundaki genç bireylerde diş fırçalama alışkanlığının aile eğitim düzeyi ile ilişkisi Bu çalışmanın amacı genç erişkin Türk popülasyonunda günlük diş fırçalama alışkanlığının çeşitli değişkenlere göre değerlendirmektir. Bu kesitsel çalışma 19-29 yaş aralığındaki 645 bireyde yu?ru?tu?ldu?. Ailelerin eğitim durumu, sosyo ekonomik durumu, oral hijyen alışkanlıkları ve tutumları gibi bazı değişkenler anket ile toplandı. Diş fırçalama sıklığı sekiz gruba ayrıldı. İstatistiksel analiz için kikare test kullanıldı. Ortalama yaş 20,72 idi. Günde bir kere diş fırçalama alışkanlığı sıklığı %18.3 (n=118), günde birçok defalar diş fırçalama alışkanlığı %6.4(n=41) ve orduya katıldıktan sonra düzenli olarak diş fırçalama alışkanlığı 23.1(n=149) idi. Genç erişkinler arasında eğitimli olanlarda (p<0.05) diş fırçalama alışkanlığı daha fazlaydı. Genç erişkinler arasında diş fırçalama sıklığı ve ekonomik durumları arasında önemli derecede farklılık vardı. Ebeveynlerin ve kişilerin okur-yazarlık seviyesinin yüksek olması (sosyo-ekonomik durumun bir göstergesi olarak) diş fırçalama sıklığıyla örtüşmektedir. Diş fırçalama sıklığıyla kişinin ortalama geliri arasında korelasyon vardır. Ebeveynler çocuklarının ağız sağlığı konusunda model olarak rol alırlar.
