Oral Health Care–Specific Self‐Efficacy Assessment Predicts Patient Completion of Periodontal Treatment: A Pilot Cohort Study

Abstract

Assessment of oral health care-specific self-efficacy is effective for the prediction of patient completion of periodontal treatment.

Systematic cognitive behavioral approach for oral hygiene instruction: A short-term study

“…They found that only self-efficacy was associated with both oral health habits and diabetes adherence. In the field of periodontology, approaches applying the social cognition model have been shown to be useful for improvement of self-care both in observation [12,13] and intervention studies [14,15]. Higher self-efficacy in periodontal patients correlates with better adherence to oral hygiene instruction and periodontal treatment [12,13].…”

Autoeficacia en salud oral: concepto, evaluación y tratamiento

“…Porque se sabe que el control mecánico de la placa bacteriana previene la severidad de la inflamación gingival, y está demostrado que la disminución en el consumo de bebidas azucaradas, es un indicador fuerte de caries dental, incluso mayor que el consumo de alimentos "snack" (17). La autoeficacia es un buen predictor de la capacidad del paciente para completar un tratamiento odontológico (18), situación vinculada a una mejor condición de salud oral dado que se ha demostrado la efectividad del cuidado profesional en el tratamiento y prevención de enfermedades periodontales (19).…”

Association Between Self-Efficacy and Oral Self-Care Behaviours in Patients with Chronic Periodontitis

“…The adherence of periodontal disease patients to health-promoting behaviour is considered critical for the prevention and successful treatment of periodontal disease. In an effort to improve oral health-care behaviour, we previously conducted a cross-sectional study consisting of a questionnaire and a clinical assessment to develope a task-specific SESS for periodontal disease patients (Kakudate et al, 2007(Kakudate et al, , 2008. The subjects of the study were 140 patients (64 females and 76 males, 19 to 86 years of age, mean age 51.7 ± 15.7) with mild to moderate chronic periodontitis.…”

“…To compare these two types of efficacy with respect to oral care behaviour, we examined whether our developed SESS and a general self-efficacy scale (GSES) (Sakano and Tohjoh, 1986) could predict short-term compliance (within one year) for active periodontal treatment (Kakudate et al, 2008). The results of our pilot study revealed that only the SESS, particularly the SE-DC subscale, accurately predicted loss to follow-up from active periodontal treatment (Kakudate et al, 2008).…”

The results of our pilot study revealed that only the SESS, particularly the SE-DC subscale, accurately predicted loss to follow-up from active periodontal treatment (Kakudate et al, 2008). As the continued maintenance of periodontal health care is considered critical for preventing relapse after active periodontal treatment, we further evaluated the hypothesis that SESS can predict loss to long-term follow-up during periodontal treatment by performing a 30-month longitudinal prospective cohort study for patients with mild to moderate chronic periodontitis.…”
