Abstract

Background and Aim: SELF-EFFICACY and DECISIONAL BALANCE in the TRANS-THEORETICAL MODEL play an effective role in oral self-care behavior. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of education on inter-dental cleaning behavior based on the TRANS-THEORETICAL MODEL in pre-universstudents in the city of Yazd, Iran in 2009.Materials and Methods: This was an intervention study. Based on statistical calculations, 361 pre-university students (mean age 17.53±0.55 years) were randomly allocated into groups of intervention (n=185, 51.2%) and control (176, 48.8%). Data on demographic characteristics, SELF-EFFICACY, and decisional balancing (perceived benefits and perceived barriers) were collected using a questionnaire with confirmed validity and reliability. Based on the TRANS-THEORETICAL MODEL, a 3-month educational program was prepared with sections on SELF-EFFICACY and DECISIONAL BALANCE and conducted. At the termination of the program variables of the model were evaluated and the GINGIVAL INDEX was determined by a dentist. The data were analyzed using the SPSS software, the statistical tests being ANOVA, paired t-test, t-test, Fisher, and correlation coefficient.Results: Implementation of the educational program resulted in a significant decrease in perceived barriers (p<0.001) and significant increases in perceived benefits (p<0.001) and SELF-EFFICACY (p<0.001). In addition, the GINGIVAL INDEX improved in the intervention group (p=0.01). The final mean SELF-EFFICACY, perceived barriers, and GINGIVAL INDEX were not significantly different between the case and control groups, but a significantly positive effect was noticed in perceived benefits (p=0.01).Conclusion: The findings indicate that the educational intervention influenced desirably the GINGIVAL INDEX, SELF-EFFICACY and perceived benefits in the students. Since the SELF-EFFICACY factor is an important predictor in oral self-care behavior, it is suggested to use the TRANS-THEORETICAL MODEL in educational interventions aiming at improving SELF-EFFICACY, increasing perceived advantages, and reducing perceived obstacles.
