Correlation between oral health literacy and health seeking behavior of middle-aged people
摘要
Abstract
Objective To assess the current status of oral health literacy and health seeking behavior among middle-aged people,analyze the influencing factors of oral health literacy,and explore the correlation between oral health literacy and health seeking behavior,so as to provide a scientific basis for relevant departments to formulate measures to enhance the oral health literacy of the entire population,improve health seeking behavior,and maintain oral health.Methods A cross-sec-tional study design was adopted.In February 2025,182 middle-aged people aged 35 to 65 in Taizhou City,Zhejiang Province were selected as the research subjects.Their sociodemographic information was collected through online questionnaire surveys,and a self-developed scale was used to assess oral health literacy and the level of health seeking behavior.Descriptive statistics,t-tests,analysis of variance,Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were conducted on the data.Reuslts The total score of oral health literacy of middle-aged people was(90.35±11.52)points,and the total score of health seeking behavior was(55.30±7.60)points.The results of univariate analysis showed that oral health literacy was related to place of residence,the degree of understanding of one's own oral condition,and self-assessed oral health status,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that oral health literacy was positively correlated with health seeking behavior(r=0.599,P＜0.05).Multivariate analysis conducted by the multiple linear regression model showed that health belief(B=0.539,t=2.547,95％CI:0.121-0.956)and information-related ability(B=0.861,t=0.312,95％CI:0.324-1.398)were independent influencing factors of health seeking behavior(P＜0.05).Conclusion The oral health literacy and health seeking behavior of middle-aged people in Taizhou City are generally at a medium to high level,but there is still room for improvement.Residence,individual awareness of oral health and self-assessment are important factors influencing oral health literacy.Good oral health literacy has positive regulatory effect on health seeking behavior.Among them,health beliefs and information-related capabilities can directly drive health seeking behavior.Targeted strategies for enhancing oral health literacy should be constructed in combination with the characteristics of middle-aged people to promote their proactive health seeking behavior.关键词
