This study aimed to associate oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and related factors in adolescents deprived of freedom. In this cross-sectional observational study, sixty-eight male adolescents deprived of freedom (from the Socio-Educational Assistance Centers from Passo Fundo, Brazil) were included. The sample was dichotomized into those with lower impact (sum scores <16) and higher impact (sum score ≥16) on OHRQoL. Sociodemographic characteristics, medical and dental histories, and a structured questionnaire about dental perception were collected. Clinical examination was performed by using the Decayed, Missing, Filled Index. Associations between the outcome and independent variables were analyzed by uni- and multivariate Poisson regression with robust variation. Overall, a mean score OHIP-14 was 13.15±11.17. In the multivariate analysis, former smokers and current smokers presented a significant higher prevalence ratio (PR) of higher OHIP-14 scores than nonsmokers (PR= 4.70; 95%CI: 1.21–18.22 and 4.83; 95%CI:1.25–18.58, respectively). Additionally, to every decayed tooth, a significant increase in the PR of having higher OHIP-14 was 28% (PR=1.28 – 95%CI: 1.11–1.47). Conversely, adolescents that were not concerned about teeth alignment presented a significantly lower PR of being in the higher impact of OHRQoL (PR=0.42 – 95%CI: 0.19–0.93). Adolescents deprived of freedom present a high impact on OHRQoL. The number of decayed teeth and smoking exposure were associated with higher impact on OHRQoL. However, absence of teeth alignment concern was associated with lower impact on OHRQoL. Keywords: Quality of Life. Adolescent. Institutionalized. Psychometrics. Adolescent Health Services. Resumo Esse estudo objetivou associar a qualidade de vida associada a saúde bucal (QVASB) e fatores relacionados em adolescentes privados de liberdade. Sessenta e oito adolescentes privados de liberdade foram incluídos. QVASB foi avaliada pelo Oral Health Impact Profile-14. A amostra foi dicotomizada em baixo impacto (soma de escores <16) e alto impacto (soma de escores ≥16) na QVASB. Características sociodemográficas, histórico médico e odontológico e um questionário estruturado sobre percepção dental foram coletados. Exame clínico foi realizado utilizando-se o Índice de dentes cariados, perdidos e obturados. Associações entre o desfecho e as variáveis independentes foram analisadas por regressão uni e multivariada de Poisson com variância robusta. Em toda a amostra, a média de escores do OHIP-14 foi de 13,15±11,17. Na análise multivariada, ex-fumantes e fumantes apresentaram significativa maior razão de prevalência (RP) de apresentarem maiores escores do OHIP-14 do que os não fumantes (RP=4,70; IC95%: 1,21 – 18,22 e 4,83; IC95%: 1,25 – 18,58, respectivamente). Além disso, para cada dente cariado, houve aumento significativo de 28% RP de ter maiores escores de OHIP-14 (RP=1,28 – IC95%: 1,11 – 1,47). Por outro lado, adolescentes que não se preocupam com o alinhamento dos seus dentes apresentaram significativo melhor RP de terem maior impacto na QVASB (RP=0,42 – IC95%: 0,19 – 0,93). Adolescentes privados de liberdade apresentaram alto impacto na QVASB. O número de dentes cariados e exposição ao fumo estiveram associados com alto impacto na QVASB. Entretanto, a ausência de preocupação com o alinhamento esteve associada com menor impacto na QVASB. Palavras-chave: Qualidade de Vida. Adolescente Institucionalizado. Psychometria.

A BSTRACT Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationships between acculturative stress, perceived stress, social support, and subjective oral health outcomes among international graduate students in Malaysian public universities. Materials and Methods: A total of 312 international graduate students completed a web-based questionnaire, including measures of acculturative stress (ASSIS-36), perceived stress scale (PSS-4), social support (MSPSS-12), oral health perceptions (global rating item), and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL, OIDP-8). The hypotheses of the conceptual model were tested using structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) with the support of SmartPLS. Results: Twenty-seven percent (27.1%) of the variance in OHRQoL was explained by acculturative stress, perceived stress, social support, and oral health perceptions. The path coefficient between oral health perception and OHRQoL was the strongest (β = –0.385, P < 0.001). Acculturative stress directly influenced OHRQoL (β = 0.20, P = 0.009) and indirectly through perceived stress (β = 0.05, P = 0.019). Social support mediated the relationship between perceived stress and OHRQoL (β = 0.046, P = 0.02). The overall predictive power of the model was 23%. Conclusion: Results indicated that acculturative stress, perceived stress, and social support are among the predictors of OHRQoL. Oral health perceptions and acculturative stress were the most significant predictors that contributed the largest amount to the model. The findings emphasize the potential role of psychosocial factors in relation to oral health. The empirical evidence of this study could facilitate the planning of targeted strategies that address stress reduction and social support. Such strategies might be a new promising way to enhance OHRQoL as these elements can be modified and response to interventions.

“…There have been multiple studies in different populations which have shown the association of sociodemographic factors, general health status and oral health conditions and their impact in OHRQoL. 1,2,4,[6][7][8][9][10] However, there is very little information regarding the impact of oral health and OHRQoL in Jamaica and the Caribbean region. Collins et al, in a multicentre study done in three Caribbean cities (Kingston, Jamaica; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and San Juan, Puerto Rico), showed that factors such as gingival health, smoking, frequency of dental visits and the presence of chronic diseases impacted the OHRQoL.…”

“…Collins et al, in a multicentre study done in three Caribbean cities (Kingston, Jamaica; Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and San Juan, Puerto Rico), showed that factors such as gingival health, smoking, frequency of dental visits and the presence of chronic diseases impacted the OHRQoL. 10 Notwithstanding this publication, more studies are needed in Jamaica and the Caribbean region to ascertain information about oral health status, including decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) and its impact on OHRQoL. With this background, the aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the impact of sociodemographic characteristics, oral health status and behaviours of adult Jamaican population on their OHRQoL.…”

Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of sociodemographic characteristics, oral health status and behaviours on Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) on an adult Jamaican population. Methods Adults who presented for treatment at the UWI Mona Dental Polyclinic participated in this cross-sectional study. Participants responded to a structured questionnaire consisting of sociodemographic and oral hygiene habits and were also examined for the presence of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT). OHRQoL was assessed using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. Descriptive statistical analysis, univariate and multiple Poisson Regression with robust variance were performed to identify the factors impacting OHRQoL. Results The study sample consisted of 120 adults between the ages of 18-59 years. The mean OHIP-14 score was 9.81 (±9.06), 24% presented impaired OHRQoL and 76% presented frequent impaired OHRQoL. The most prevalent domain was physical pain (80%) followed by psychological discomfort (59%) and the mean DMFT score was 9.92 (±8.78). In the adjusted logistic regression, participants aged between 29-46 years (PR 0.58, CI 0.37-0.90, p= 0.016) and the use of fluoride toothpaste (PR 0.52, 95%, CI 0.35- 0.77, p = 0.001) were negatively associated with OHRQoL. Conclusion Physical pain was the dimension that most impacted domain in OHRQoL. The most negative OHRQoL was associated with the 29 to 46 years age-group and the use of fluoride toothpaste. These findings are important for oral health strategies in this population.
