ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Betel quid (BQ) chewing is associated with poor oral hygiene, psychological impairment, and acute and long-term addictive effects, resulting in worse oral-related quality of life (OHRQoL). The purpose of this study was to characterize the factors associated with OHRQoL among BQ users receiving oral mucosal screening.METHODS:
A cross-sectional study was conducted. Data were collected by random sampling of BQ users who visited outpatient departments receiving oral mucosal screening in a medical center Taiwan. The oral health assessment tool, the state anxiety inventory, the betel quid dependence scale, and the oral health impact profile were used to measure oral health status, anxiety, BQ dependence, and OHRQoL, respectively. Pearson's product-moment coefficient was used to examine the relationship between OHRQoL and the selected independent variables. Independent-samples t-test was used to compare OHRQoL by annual family income, the presence of chronic disease, and BQ dependence. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with OHRQoL.RESULTS:
A total of 175 BQ users were surveyed. Factors associated with OHRQoL included oral health status, anxiety, and BQ dependence. BQ users reporting low oral health status, greater anxiety, and more BQ dependence were more likely to have worse OHRQoL.CONCLUSIONS:
Poor oral health status, anxiety, and BQ dependence negatively impact on OHRQoL among patients with BQ use receiving oral mucosal screening.Palabras clave
