简要总结
The goal of this research is to investigate oral health knowledge in pregnant women receiving care at Hospital La Fe and to see whether a one-time informational intervention improves this knowledge. The main questions this research aims to answer are:
What is the level of oral health knowledge among pregnant women attending Hospital La Fe?
Does a one-time informational intervention, delivered through a printed leaflet, improve oral health knowledge during pregnancy?
What factors are related to differences in oral health knowledge among pregnant women?
Participants are pregnant women receiving care at Hospital La Fe. They will:
Complete a questionnaire about their oral health knowledge.
Receive a printed informational leaflet about oral health during pregnancy.
Complete the same questionnaire again after a period of time to see if their knowledge has changed.
Researchers will compare answers before and after the leaflet is provided to see whether oral health knowledge improves. They will also explore which personal or social factors are linked to different levels of oral health knowledge.

研究组 & 干预措施
Pregnant Women Receiving an Informational Leaflet
A printed informational leaflet is developed with two sections: "For Mothers" and "About the Baby," following international pediatric dentistry recommendations. A pilot study tests the clarity and completion time of the questionnaires. Participants are informed about the study, sign the consent form, and complete an initial questionnaire about oral health knowledge during their hospital visit. They receive the leaflet and complete the same questionnaire again after a period of time to assess changes. Most follow-up questionnaires are conducted by phone.
干预措施: Informational Leaflet (Other)
