Abstract
Aims: It is very important to maintain oral health during pregnancy because it has short- and long-term effects on the health of women and children. This study was aimed at identifying the factors affecting the tooth brushing behavior among pregnant women based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model (HPM).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study performed on 275 pregnant women under the coverage of the health centers of Arak, Iran, selected by cluster sampling method in 2021. Data were collected using a questionnaire that was constructed and validated in this study. The questionnaire contained items about demographic variables and HPM constructs. Data were analyzed in SPSS18 using regression models.
Findings: The mean age of participants was 29.67 ± 5.54. Only 24% of the pregnant women brushed twice a day or more. Perceived Self-efficacy (β = 0.157, P = 0.020), perceived barriers of action (β = -0.138, P = 0.049) and interpersonal influence (modeling) (β = 0.188, P = 0.002) had significant relationships with commitment to plan of action using multiple linear regression analysis. In the adjusted model, multiple logistic regression analysis indicated that pregnant women who had more self-efficacy (OR: 1.114, 95% CI: 1.012-1.225) and more commitment to plan of action (OR: 1.802, 95% CI: 1.509-2.153) were more likely to brush their teeth twice or more a day.
Conclusion: According to the results, the perceived self-efficacy and commitment to plan of action were identified as determinant factors of brushing behavior in pregnant women based on Pender’s Health Promotion Model.
