Popis: The aim of the study was to determine attitudes towards and habits in oral health of adolescents in Herzegovina, as well as to evaluate the possible differences in habits among individuals of different adolescent categories. The study included 120 participants (35 male and 85 female) divided into three adolescent categories, as follows: early (11-14 years of age), middle (15-18 years) and late (19-21 years) adolescence, from the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, who presented for dental examination. All participants completed the socio-demographic questionnaire and standardized Hiroshima University Dental Behavioral Inventory (HU-DBI). The answers provided by study adolescents in the HU-DBI showed statistically significant differences among particular age groups, i.e. between early and middle adolescence in items 7 (p=0.046) and 15 (p=0.007); between middle and late adolescence in items 8 (p=0.021), 11 (p=0.04) and 12 (p=0.027); and between middle and late adolescence in item 11 (p=0.032). Respondents in middle adolescence had poorer oral hygiene attitudes than those in early and late adolescence. In order to improve the oral hygiene habits of adolescents in Herzegovina, it is necessary to put emphasis on continuous education about oral hygiene habits during their secondary education.
Cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi stajališta i navike adolescenata prema oralnome zdravlju u Hercegovini, kao i procijeniti moguće razlike u navikama između ispitanika različitih adolescentskih kategorija. U istraživanje je bilo uključeno 120 ispitanika (35 muških, 85 ženskih) podijeljenih u tri adolescentske kategorije: ranu (11-14 godina), srednju (15-18 godina) i kasnu (19-21 godina) adolescentsku dob s područja Hercegovačko-neretvanske županije, koji su došli na dentalni pregled. Svi ispitanici ispunili su Sociodemografski upitnik i standardizirani Hiroshima University-Dental Behavioral Inventory (HU-DBI). U odgovorima iz upitnika HU-DBI utvrđene su statistički značajne razlike s obzirom na dobne skupine adolescenata: između rane i srednje adolescentske dobi u 7. (p=0,046) i 15. (p=0,007) pitanju, između srednje i kasne adolescencije u 8. (p=0,021), 11. (p=0,04) i 12. (p=0,027) pitanju te između srednje i kasne adolescencije u 11. (p=0,032) pitanju. Ispitanici u srednjoj adolescenciji imali su lošije oralno-higijenske stavove od ispitanika u ranoj i kasnoj adolescenciji. Provedba obrazovnih programa o promicanju oralnog zdravlja tijekom srednjoškolskog obrazovanja potrebna je radi unaprjeđenja oralnohigijenskih navika kod adolescenata u Hercegovini.
