“…The instrument reliability was measured by the Alpha and Omega indexes, both indicating high levels of reliability. The Cronbach's Alpha obtained in this study was 0.95, identical to that found in the validation study of Jones et al 13 with Australian homeless people and very close to the value found in the study of Ohara et al 11 for the development of an oral health-related self-rated self-efficacy scale for use in Japanese older adults (0.924). Moreover this was higher than the value of 0.82 found in the study of Kakudate et.…”

This study aims to perform cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the “Self-efficacy scale to brush teeth at night” with a Brazilian adult population. Translation and cross-cultural adaptation to the Brazilian-Portuguese language were done according to the stages recommended in the literature. Construct validity was carried out by mean of exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis in a sample of 198 adult subjects. The reliability of the instrument was measured by Alpha and Omega indices. The model was observed to have been established as one-dimensional for all indicators, with explained variance of 85.7%; factorial loads between 0.85 and 0.91; and with communalities between 0.72 and 0.83. The goodness of fit of the model shown by the confirmatory model were between 0.98 and 0.99; with factorial loads between 0.85 and 0.93, and regression values between 0.69 and 0.84, all above the minimum indices established for instrument quality. For reliability, the Alpha and Omega values had identical indices of 0.95 showing high levels of reliability of the model. The G-H index replicability was 0.96, indicating the stability of solution in other contexts and samples. We concluded that all indicators represented excellent evidence of scale validity to measure self-efficacy to brush teeth at night.

“…A reliable and valid twenty-item scale, developed by Ohara et al, (2016) [28] and used to evaluate self-efficacy in the context of oral health among older adults to measure three dimensions of personal beliefs about oral functioning (9 statements), oral hygiene habits (8 statements), and dental visit (3 statements). Older adults rate these statements on a four-point Likert scale (1 = not confident at all to 4 =very confident).…”

Background: With the advent of preventive dentistry and an expanded array of treatment options, the possibility of maintaining oral health throughout the life span has increased. This interdependence between oral health and general well-being further validates the need to explore factors related to the improvement of the oral health status of community-dwelled older adults. Essential to the process of enhancing the oral health status of this segment is the exploration of the numerous variables which must be considered in the development of mobile-based educational program. Thus, the adequate assessment of the health values, literacy, and perception related to the performance of oral hygiene is of upmost importance. Only then effective elder-specific oral interventions could be developed and implemented. Aim: The purpose of this quasi-experimental study was to measure the effect of mobilebased educational program through Bluetooth and WhatsApp Application on the oral health values, dental literacy, and oral self-efficacy among older adults. Setting: The study was conducted in El-Wafaa club of elderly persons affiliated to the Ministry of Social Solidarity. Subjects: A 67-participant, own smart phones, able to download and deal with related software applications, and capable of reading sent messages were operationalized using four specified tools. Tools: These were (1) Developed Demographic and Oral Health Profile for the Older Adults Structured Interview Schedule, (2) Health Literacy in Dentistry Scale (HeLD-short form), (3) Oral Health Values Scale (OHVS), and (4) Geriatric Self-Efficacy Scale for Oral Health (GSEOH). Results: Initially revealed that the higher prevalence of mouth health problems was related to tooth decay (64.2%) and tooth plaque (62.7%). Oral health problems had mostly a negative impact on satisfaction with fluids drinking and mouth appearance (40.3% each). There was a highly statistical positive significant improvement in the older adults' oral-related literacy, values, and efficacy post-program than before. A strong positive significant correlation was proved between the studied variables along the whole implementing periods. Oral health literacy was a predicting / independent factor for both Self-Efficacy and values in each period of interventions. Conclusion: The proposed program succeeded in improving the main studied variables' subscales with different degrees as represented by the mean percent scores, immediately after application that decreased at a 3week follow up of mobile-based oral care implementation but still significant compared with the pre-intervention period. Recommendations: Digital or e-health interventions to prevent or rectify oral problems of older adults should be wide-ranging and multi-faceted to be conducted via the social networks and invest in mobile health clinics. Design a preventive program to target older adults living in Egypt, through increasing access and minimize barriers to treatment for elderly with low financial standard and collecting systematic data on K...

“…Fischbein’s integrative model (IM) of Behavioral Prediction integrates prior reason-based cognitive intervention models (Ajzen, 2002; Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein, 2008; Fishbein & Yzer, 2003; McCaul et al, 1988). It includes knowledge (Firmino et al, 2018), beliefs, self-efficacy (Ohara et al, 2017), and intentionality/planning/goal-setting (Lee, 2018; Newton & Asimakopoulou, 2015), variables that have been used to explain oral hygiene behaviors (McCaul et al, 1988; Tedesco, 1991; Tedesco et al, 1992). These factors, when built into interventions to improve self-care regimens, are shown to have short-term positive effects on cognitive domains and brushing/flossing and longer term improvements in clinical outcomes such as tooth decay, calculus, plaque, and bleeding (Ghaffari, Rakhshanderou, Ramezankhani, Buunk-Werkhoven, et al, 2018).…”

Inconsistent outcomes of oral hygiene interventions require testable theories combining cognitive and behavioral domains to guide intervention and improve results. This article evaluates the integrated model as a cognitive-behavioral approach to improve oral health clinical outcomes in ethnically diverse low-income older adults. Baseline data from a clinical trial utilizing the integrative model (IM) model evaluated predictors of gingival index (GI) and plaque score (PS). Individual logistic regression was performed for all predictors in relation to GI and PS. Multiple logistic regression was performed with significant predictors of GI and PS only. Greater locus of control and more brushing predicted lower GI; greater locus of control predicted lower PS. Both cognitive and behavioral domains impact GI, requiring more prolonged effort for improvement while locus of control, a cognitive variable, predicts PS, immediately improved by daily brushing/flossing. A streamlined IM including locus of control and tooth brushing should improve oral hygiene of low-income older adults.

Abstract: We developed the GSEOH, with three factors and 20 items, and confirmed its reliability and validity. More studies are necessary to investigate the cross-cultural validity and reliability with larger samples from other countries. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2017; 17: 1406-1411.
