Abstract
Introduction: The level of dental care development can be a good indicator of prosperity in society. Prevention of dental diseases and the provision of appropriate care require well planned and coordinated programs integrated into the overall health care system. Aim of the Study: The aim is to determine the level of oral health knowledge and contemporary possibilities of prevention in population groups of public opinion in charge of decision-making and funding of prevention programs in potential executors in the prevention program, as well as parents of preschool children in Banja Luka. Patients and Methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 310 respondents randomly selected in urban and rural areas in the municipality of Banja Luka. The testing was conducted by means of anonymous questionnaire about the level of oral health education of the respondents, attitudes about the prevention of oral diseases and health education in dentistry. Respondents consisted of 60 representatives of legislative and executive authorities, 60 people from the media, 80 teachers in kindergartens, 60 parents of children up to six years and 50 dentists from the state sector. Results: The majority of respondents (65%) believed that it is possible to determine the risk before the onset of tooth decay, which was statistically significant (p <0.001). Only 6% of respondents know epidemiologically proven fact that there are people without dental caries (caries-free). The government representatives were 100%, while parents were 75% convinced that there is enough knowledge about dental health. All groups significantly highlighted the mass media and educational institutions as holders of health education. Conclusion: There is a diversity of opinion between the groups questioned, which significantly affects on making the image of the complete sample being not true reflection of public opinion. The respondents are not familiar enough with modern knowledge, possibilities and accomplishments in preventive dentistry.
Sažetak
Uvod: Razvijenost stomatološke zaštite može da bude dobar pokazatelj razvijenosti samog društva. Prevencija stomatoloških oboljenja i pružanje odgovarajuće njege zahtijeva planirane i koordinirane programe integrisane u cjelokupni sistem zdravstvene zaštite. Cilj rada: Utvrđivanje nivoa znanja o oralnom zdravlju i savremenim mogućnostima prevencije u populacionim grupama javnog mnjenja zaduženim za donošenje odluka i finansiranje preventivnih programa kod potencijalnih izvršioca u preventivnom programu, kao i kod roditelja djece predškolskog uzrasta u Banjoj Luci. Ispitanici i metode: Istraživanje je sprovedeno na uzorku od 310 ispitanika izabranih metodom slučajnog izbora u urbanoj i ruralnoj sredini na teritoriji opštine Banja Luka. Ispitivanje je obavljeno u vidu anonimne ankete o nivou oralno-zdravstvenog obrazovanja ispitanika, stavova o prevenciji oralnih oboljenja i zdravstvenom vaspitanju u stomatologiji. Ispitanike su činili: 60 predstavnika zakonodavne i izvršne vlasti, 60 radnika iz medija, 80 vaspitača u vrtićima, 60 roditelja djece do šest godina, te 50 stomatologa iz državnog sektora. Rezultati: Većina ispitanika (65%) smatra da je moguće odrediti rizik prije pojave karijesa, što je bilo statistički značajno (p<0,001). Svega 6% ispitanika poznaju epidemiološki dokazanu činjenicu da postoje osobe bez karijesa (caries-free). Predstavnici vlasti su bili 100%, a roditelji 75% ubjeđeni da postoji dovoljno znanja o zdravlju zuba. Sve grupe značajno ističu masovne medije i obrazovne ustanove kao nosioce zdravstvenog vaspitanja. Zaključak: Postoji raznolikost u stavovima između ispitivanih grupa koja značajno utiče da slika kompletnog uzorka nije pravi odraz javnog mnjenja. Ispitanici nisu dovoljno upoznati sa savremenim znanjima, mogućnostima i dostignućima u preventivnoj stomatologiji.
