Abstract

Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the current status of oral health literacy among adult orthodontic patients and analyze its influencing factors. METHODS: Totally 163 adult orthodontic patients were recruited by convenience sampling method from November 2021 to February 2022 at the Department of Oral and Craniomaxillofacial Surgery, Center of Craniofacial Orthodontics in Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital. General information questionnaire, Chinese version of Health Literacy in Dentistry (HeLD-14), Chinese version of Self-Efficacy Scale for Self-care (SESS) and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were applied. SPSS 21.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS: The mean score of oral health literacy in adult orthodontic patients was (48.74±5.54), and the lowest score were obtained in concern (6.80±1.19) and support (6.40±1.59) dimensions. Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that adult orthodontic patients' consultation self-efficacy, social support utilization, family or friends' orthodontic history and objective support were the influencing factors of oral health literacy. CONCLUSIONS: The oral health literacy in adult orthodontic patients is at a middle to high level, but concern and support literacy need to be improved. Strengthening consultation self-efficacy, objective support and utilization of social support can improve adult orthodontic patients' oral health literacy. Attention should be paid to patients who have no relatives or friends with history of orthodontic treatment.
