目的 了解武警某部新兵口腔卫生保健观念及行为,为有效开展口腔保健服务工作提供参考。方法 参照2013年《全军第四次口腔调查表》设计问卷调查表,采用整群随机抽样的方法对武警某部1140名新兵的口腔卫生习惯、口腔医疗需求自我评估进行问卷调查,收集到1086份有效调查问卷(新兵组),并与该部队军龄1年以上老兵(有效问卷1096份,老兵组)作比较。结果 新兵组每天使用牙线者占15.84%,坚持饭后漱口者占88.58%,每天刷牙≥2次者占83.98%;每次刷牙时间≥2 min者占21.55%。自我评估无牙龈出血者占35.08%,自我判断无口腔疾病者占72.93%,定期进行口腔检查者占1.66%,口腔医疗需要者占47.42%,过去1年内口腔科就诊≥1次者占28.54%。新兵组每天使用牙签、饭后漱口、刷牙2次以上者和自我判断无口腔疾病占比高于老兵组,两组差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05);新兵组与老兵组在刷牙时间、使用牙线和牙龈不出血的比例方面无统计学差异。老兵组定期检查、需要口腔医疗和过去1年内口腔科就诊≥1次者占比较新兵组高,两组差异有统计学意义(P＜0.05)。结论 新兵组口腔卫生习惯和口腔健康状况整体上好于老兵组,应加强对该部队官兵的口腔健康宣教和口腔医疗服务工作,以提升其口腔健康水平。

Objective To understand the oral health care concepts and behaviors of recruits of a certain unit of Chinese People's Armed Police Force and to provide reference for implementing oral health care services effectively.Methods The questionnaire was designed according to " The Fourth Oral Questionnaire of the Army" published in 2013. Using cluster random sampling, a questionnaire survey was conducted, which investigated oral hygiene habits and self-assessments of oral medical needs on 1140 recruits (1086 valid questionnaires, recruit group) of a certain unit. The result was also compared with veterans of the unit (1096 valid questionnaires, veteran group)who had been in the military for more than one year.Results Among the recruit group, 15.84% used dental floss, 88.58% insisted on gargling after meals, 83.98% brushed their teeth more than twice a day, and 21.55% brushed their teeth for more than 2 minutes each time. Among the self-assessment of recruits, no bleeding gums accounted for 35.08%. and he percentages for no oral diseases, regular oral examinations and the need for oral medical treatment were 72.93%, 1.66% and 47.42% respectively. In the past year, 28.54% visited the department of stomatology more than once. The proportion of the recruit group who used toothpicks, rinsed their mouths after meals, brushed their teeth more than twice a day and who self-judged that they had no oral diseases was higher than that of the veteran group. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the recruit group and the veteran group in the proportion of brushing time, flossing or no bleeding gums. The proportion of the veteran group with regular check-ups, the need for dental medical treatment, and more than one dental visit in the past year was higher than that in the recruit group. The difference between the two groups was significant (P<0.05).Conclusions The recruit group had better oral hygiene habits and oral health than the veteran group, suggesting that it is necessary to strengthen oral health education and oral medical services for the officers and soldiers of the unit so as to improve their oral health conditon.
