Trial Outcomes & Findings for Oral Health Education Interventions Among Seniors (NCT NCT03301714)

NCT ID: NCT03301714

Last Updated: 2020-05-12

Results Overview

The oral health related quality of life scale is a 14-item measurement of individuals' perceptions of the social impact of oral conditions on their well-being. This scale evaluates the consequences of oral conditions across dimensions of functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. Items are rated on a 5- point Likert type scale ranging from 0 (never) to 4 (very often), regarding how frequently impact has been experienced. The total score ranges from 0 to 56; higher OHIP-14 scores indicate greater impact, hence poorer oral-health-related quality of life.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: change from baseline to 12 months

Oral health self efficacy uses a 6 item scale and is a measurement of how confident seniors feel about their ability to perform oral hygiene tasks (1) under a lot of stress; (2) being depressed; (3) feeling anxious; (4) feeling that they were too busy; (5) being tired or; (6) being worried about other things in their life. The four response options range from 'very confident' to 'not at all confident'. The possible score range is 0 to 24,with high scores indicating high self-efficacy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: change from baseline to 12 months

Oral health knowledge measurement of the seniors pre and post intervention will be conducted using a list of 15 knowledge statements to which subjects had to report agreement wit the statement (yes), disagreement (no) or don't know. The frequency numbers provided in the results table correspond to correct responses for each individual item.
