fa An Effective Psychoeducational Intervention for Early Childhood Caries Prevention: Part I کودکان Pediatric Dentistry پژوهشي Research <p> <strong>Purpose:</strong></p><p>  The purpose was to compare whether mothers exposed to an autonomy-supportive psychoeducational videotaped message, informed by the self-determination theory (SDT), demonstrated greater changes in oral health knowledge and behavioral intentions as a preventive means for early childhood caries (ECC) than mothers exposed to a neutral message delivered by brochure. </p><p> <strong>Methods:</strong></p><p>  Data were collected at baseline, one-, and six-month follow-ups from 415 12- to 49-month-old WIC-enrolled children and their mothers: 283 in the video intervention group and 132 in the brochure control group. Mothers completed questionnaires on maternal knowledge and behavioral intentions for oral health care. Chi-square, Wilcoxon rank-sum, and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze data (P<.05). <strong></strong></p><p> <strong>Results:</strong> </p><p> Relative to their baseline scores, the intervention group showed a greater increase in knowledge than the control group, both at one-month (P=.002) and six-month follow-ups (P<.001). The video group also demonstrated a greater increase in behavioral intentions than controls, both at one-month (P<.05) and six-month follow-ups (P<.001). Knowledge and behavioral intention levels at six-month follow-up did not differ significantly from those at one-month follow-up, indicating that intervention-based increases in these measures were maintained over time. </p><p> <strong>Conclusions:</strong></p><p>  Data provided evidence of the effectiveness of the autonomy-supportive psychoeducational intervention for ECC prevention relative to a neutral brochure. </p><hr><p></p><p> <strong>Source: </strong>Journal of American Academy of ‍ Pediatric Dentistry</p><p> <a href="http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/aapd/pd/2013/00000035/00000003/art00004" target="_blank"><font color="#0000ff">Full Text</font></a></p> AUTONOMY; DENTAL CARIES; HEALTH BEHAVIOR; MATERNAL-CHILD HEALTH CENTERS; PREVENTION 0 0 http://idai.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-32-2557&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Karin Weber-Gasparoni karin-weber@uiowa.edu 100319475328460012116 100319475328460012116 Yes epartment of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA Johnmarshall Reeve 100319475328460012117 100319475328460012117 No Department of Pediatric DentistryUniversity of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA Natalie Ghosheh 100319475328460012118 100319475328460012118 No Pediatric dentist in private practice, Dubuque, Iowa, USA John J.
