ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to investigate in-depth factors
influencing adherence to oral hygiene care among periodontal patients. This
qualitative research was based on patients undergoing initial phase of
periodontal therapy at the Universiti Kebangsaan
Malaysia (UKM) Periodontic Clinics. The
data collection were obtained using a focus group
discussion (FGD) and the session was recorded and later transcribed
for manual analysis. Six patients participated in the FGD.
The main themes which emerged collectively from the discussion were ‘lack of
knowledge’ and ‘poor motivation’ related to effective oral hygiene care.
Respondents noted that motivation to adhere to oral hygiene care improved when clinicians
undertook good professional care and when patients themselves experienced
retrospective regret for their tooth loss. This study showed lack of oral
health knowledge, poor attitude towards oral hygiene care, good dentist-patient
relationship, regret about past neglect, cultural beliefs and affordability
were the factors which might influence adherence to
oral hygiene care among periodontal patients.
Keywords: Adherence; attitude; oral hygiene care; periodontal
patients; qualitative study
ABSTRAK
Penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk menyelami secara
mendalam faktor-faktor yang boleh mempengaruhi tahap penjagaan kebersihan
mulut yang baik dalam kalangan pesakit periodontal. Penyelidikan kualitatif ini
melibatkan para pesakit yang melalui fasa pertama rawatan periodontal
di klinik periodontal Fakulti Pergigian, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia
(UKM).
Penyelidikan ini bedasarkan perbincangan fokus
berkumpulan dengan perbincangan pesakit dirakam dan ditranskrip
secara ‘verbatim untuk dianalisis. Perkara utama yang
diutarakan oleh para pesakit berdasarkan perbincangan tersebut adalah
kurang pengetahuan dan kurang motivasi untuk meningkatkan mutu kebersihan
mulut. Walau bagaimanapun, motivasi terhadap kebersihan mulut pesakit
meningkat apabila rawatan profesional diberikan dan juga wujudnya
kesedaran diri akan punca kehilangan
gigi. Penyelidikan ini menunjukkan kurang pengetahuan,
sikap negatif terhadap penjagaan kebersihan mulut, perhubungan pesakit
dan doktor gigi yang baik, kesedaran akan punca kehilangan gigi,
adat resam dan kepercayaan serta kemampuan merupakan faktor yang
boleh mempengaruhi penjagaan kebersihan mulut dalam kalangan pesakit
periodontal. Kata kunci: Kepatuhan; penjagaan kebersihan mulut; penyelidikan kualitatif; pesakit periodontal; sikap
