Abstract

 Statement of the Problem: Dental caries is the most common chronic disease among Children. Determinants of Children’ s Oral health behavior should be better understood and known. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the predictive factors of Oral health be-havior among preschool Children based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Materials and Method: This cross-sectional study included 833 mother-child pairs referring to twenty health centers in Tabriz, North-West Iran, from August 2014 to November 2015. The participants were selected by multi-stage stratified random sampling. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires completed by the participating mothers. The questionnaire consisted of demograph-ic characteristics, Oral health behavior, and TPB structures (attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention). Results: The mean± standard deviation (SD) of Children’ s age was 4. 6± 1. 1 years (ranging 3– 6), and 52% were boys. 20. 3% of mothers had university degrees. The mean (SD) score of Children’ s Oral health behavior was 5. 8 (± 1. 9) out of 8. Muliple regression analysis revealed a positive relationship between all TPB structures and Children’ s Oral health behavior F(11, 821)=41. 8, R=0. 6, (p< 0. 001). Furthermore, the TPB structures explained 35% and 29% of the variance in Children’ s Oral health behavior and maternal intention towards it, respectively. Conclusion: Based on the current finding, TBP is the important predictor of chil-dren’ s Oral health behavior. Effective promotion interventions could be designed based on this predictor to help improving the Children’ s oral hygiene behavior.
