The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to determine the effect of the education given to pregnant women on their oral and dental health behaviors and knowledge levels.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In line with these results, it is recommended that midwives should determine the behaviors and knowledge levels of pregnant women regarding oral and dental health within the scope of primary health care services, provide trainings to increase their knowledge and awareness on the subject, refer them to treatment in the presence of problems, and expand these services within the health system.

Education

Intervention Type OTHER

Before the training was given to the pregnant women in the experimental group who agreed to participate in the study, the Introductory Information Form, the Form for Assessing Pregnant Women's Behaviors Towards Oral and Dental Health, and the Form for Assessing Pregnant Women's Knowledge Levels Towards Oral and Dental Health were applied by face-to-face interview method. The application of the forms took 20-30 minutes. Then, a training time was planned on a suitable date for the pregnant women.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the training, to answer the questions of the pregnant women effectively and to be able to direct them to the dentist in line with their needs, the training was applied in groups of maximum five people. Lecture, question and answer and demonstration methods were used in the training.

One month after the training, the necessary forms were applied to the pregnant women and the study was terminated.

Control

No intervention was made to the pregnant women in the control group, and the forms were completed before and one month after the training.
