简要总结
Studies have shown that Swedish adolescents have poor oral hygiene and with high prevalence of gingivitis. Therefore, more effective preventive programs in dental care are needed. The project aims to examine whether a health application and follow-up person-centered digital meetings can serve as support in person-centered and theory-based behavioral interventions to promote and maintain positive oral health habits.
详细描述
Specific Aim - Purpose:
The overarching aim of the project is to develop more effective preventive programs targeting adolescents to promote oral/periodontal health.
Within the framework of the project, a clinical treatment study was recently conducted in which the investigators tested a person-centered, theory-based, behavioral intervention to strengthen adolescents' motivation for adequate oral hygiene behavior. The present study is a continuation of the project, focusing on method development of the intervention through the introduction of digital technology:
The specific aim of the present study is to:
- test a mobile health application as support/tool in person-centered, theory-based, interventions targeting young people in dental care, and
- explore whether person-centered digital maintenance meetings can be perceived as supportive for maintaining/promoting positive oral health/oral hygiene habits over time.

研究组 & 干预措施
Person-centered, theory-based, intervention
This treatment is the most recommended when behavioral change is needed to promote adequate oral hygiene - based on the Swedish National Guidelines for Dental Care (National Board of Health and Welfare, 2022). The aim is to, with a qualitative approach, explore views on the health application for self-monitoring and supportive person-centered digital maintenance meetings to promote new/positive oral hygiene habits.
