“…The data collection tool in the present study was a questionnaire (Additional file 1 : Appendix 1) that had previously been standardized and localized in Iranian studies [ 19 ]. The questions were collected from similar previous studies [ 9 , 22 ], the latest guidelines for the management of dental trauma [ 5 , 23 ], and reference books [ 3 , 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Parents play a crucial role in improvement of treatment and reducing complications of a dental trauma [ 9 , 17 ]. The outcomes of a dental trauma seriously depend on the appropriate and early management done by non-specialists present at the place of the accident (such as mothers) [ 18 , 19 ]. As mothers are usually the first point of care for their children, this study aimed to evaluate mothers’ knowledge and self-reported performance regarding traumatic dental injuries management and the associated socio-demographic factors.…”

Background Dental trauma is common among children. It has negative effects on a child’s quality of life. Parental knowledge, especially among mothers is an important factor for the long-term success of this emergency. This study aimed to investigate mothers’ knowledge and self-reported performance regarding the management of traumatic dental injuries and associated socio-demographic factors. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 277 mothers of children (8–12 years) attending the pediatrics department of Alborz dental school were studied by convenience sampling. The participants completed a valid reliable questionnaire about the management of traumatic dental injuries. The predictor variables were the child’s gender, maternal education and employment status, economic status, and accommodation status. The outcome variables were the mothers’ knowledge about the management of traumatic dental injuries (Eight statements with 10 scores) and self-reported performance including four case scenarios of traumatic dental injury (Five questions with 7 scores). Data were analyzed by T-test or One-way ANOVA to test the within-group changes, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and Linear multiple regression to examine the effect of predictor variables on maternal knowledge and self-reported performance. Results The mean score of mothers’ knowledge was 3.43; SD = 1.58 (total score ranged from 0 to 10). The mean score of mothers’ performance was 3.38; SD = 1.2 (total score ranged from 0 to 7). Mothers who work (p < 0.001) and mothers with high qualifications (p < 0.001) had higher knowledge. Furthermore, mothers who work (p = 0.011), mothers with high qualifications (p < 0.001), and those who have had previous experience with traumatic dental injuries (p < 0.001) had higher self-reported performance. The results of multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated the association between mothers’ knowledge with mothers’ education (β = 0.22, p = 0.001) and mothers’ employment status (β = 0.15, p = 0.017), while there is a relationship between mothers’ self-reported performance and mothers’ education (β = 0.27, p < 0.001). Conclusion Since the means of mothers’ knowledge and performance scores regarding dental trauma management, were less than half of the obtainable scores as well as mothers have a crucial role in the children’s oral health, it is important to increase the mothers’ knowledge and improve their performance in this context. Therefore, running educational programs is necessary for this respect.

Background Dental trauma is common among children. It has negative effects on a child’s quality of life. Parental knowledge, especially among mothers is an important factor for the long-term success of this emergency. This study aimed to investigate mothers' knowledge and self-reported performance, especially regarding the management of traumatic dental injuries. Methods In this cross-sectional study, 277 mothers of children (8–12 years) attending to pediatrics department of Alborz dental school were studied by convenience sampling. The independent variables were the child's gender, parents’ education and employment status, economic status, and inhabitation status. The dependent variable was the mothers’ knowledge and self-reported performance about the management of traumatic dental injuries. The data were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire including four case scenarios of traumatic dental injury (case design) and analyzed by Linear multiple regression. Results The mean score of mothers’ knowledge about the management of traumatic dental injuries was 3.34 ± 1.58. The least obtained score in the section of knowledge was 0, and most of them were 7 (from a total score of 11). The mean score of mothers’ performance was 3.38 ± 1.2 (from a total score of 7). Results demonstrated that mothers' employment status and education influence their knowledge, while there is no relationship between mothers’ self-reported performance and the contextual variables (P < 0.05). Conclusions This finding demonstrated mothers have insufficient knowledge and performance about dental trauma management. The authors recommend giving effective academic intervention on knowledge and performance of dental trauma management at the community level, especially for parents.
