O presente estudo pretende contribuir para a compreensão da influência das
crenças e atitudes parentais sobre a saúde oral na concretização dos comportamentos
preventivos e na presença de cárie. O objectivo principal consiste em estudar a relação
entre crenças, atitudes e comportamentos relatados pelos pais acerca das crianças em
relação à escovagem bidiária e controlo na ingestão de açúcar, e a presença de cárie
precoce da infância observada. Com o estudo das propriedades psicométricas chegaramse
a valores de consistência interna aceitáveis nas subescalas e factores à semelhança do
estudo original. A presença de cárie mostrou ser independente dos comportamentos
preventivos e do nível de escolaridade da mãe na amostra. A maioria dos pais revelaram
crenças e atitudes positivas em relação à cárie precoce da infância e relatavam
comportamentos preventivos. Os resultados das observações clínicas de saúde oral
mostraram que a maioria das crianças não apresentava cárie precoce da infância. Foram
encontradas associações significativas entre os resultados da auto-eficácia parental na
escovagem e no controlo do consumo de açúcar e o decorrer do comportamento
escovagem duas ou mais vezes por dia. Os resultados de auto-eficácia no controlo do
açúcar associaram-se com o comportamento ingestão de bebidas açucaradas em menos
de uma ou duas vezes por semana e os resultados das crenças no controlo externo
associaram-se com a ingestão de alimentos antes de adormecer menos de uma ou duas
vezes por semana. Os resultados de auto-eficácia parental mostraram-se relevantes para
a concretização de comportamentos preventivos na cárie precoce da infância.
The aim of this present study is to contribute to the understanding of the influence of parental beliefs and attitudes about oral health in the implementation of preventive behaviors and the presence of caries. The main objective is to study the relationship between beliefs, attitudes and behaviors reported by parents about children in relation to twice tooth brushing and control in sugar snacking and the presence of early childhood caries. With the study of psychometric properties we had acceptable internal consistency on the subscales and factors like in the original study. The presence of caries was independent of preventive behaviors and level of education of the mother in the sample. Most parents showed positive attitudes and beliefs about early childhood caries and reported preventive behaviors. The results of oral health clinical observations showed that most children did not have early childhood caries. Significant associations were found between the results of parental self-efficacy in brushing and control of sugar snacks and tooth brushing behavior during the two or more times per day. The results of self-efficacy in controlling sugar snacks associated with eating behavior of sugary drinks in less than one or two times a week and the results of the external control beliefs were associated with food intake before going to sleep less than once or twice a week. The results of parental self-efficacy were relevant to the implementation of preventive behaviors in early childhood caries.
