Background Oral diseases are one of the major public health problems worldwide and affect the population of all age groups. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perceptions and practices of caregivers at care centres and boarding religious schools responsible for managing children’s oral health. Methods A qualitative ethnomethodological approach was used to collect data from the caregivers at the children’s religious schools and foster care centres. A purposive sampling technique was used to conduct focus group discussions comprising 4–7 caregivers from five foster care centres and religious schools located in Lahore, Pakistan. An interview guide was developed based on results from previous studies. An inductive approach was used to analyse data on broader oral health concepts to generate themes in this qualitative research. A three-step thematic analysis was applied to develop codes that were merged to generate categories and to conclude into themes from the transcribed data. Five focus group discussions were conducted at two foster care centres (FG1 & FG2) and three religious schools (FG3, FG4 & FG5). Foster care centres had children of both gender within the same premises; however, religious schools had segregated settings. Results The following four themes emerged from the thematic analysis: development of the desired living environment and responsibilities of the caregivers, preexisting traditional personal knowledge of the caregivers determine children’s oral health, use of religio-cultural driven and convenience-based oral hygiene practices, and ethnomedicine, spiritual healing, and self-medication. Development and the existing living environment of the foster care centres and religious schools appeared important to manage the matters of the boarding children. Conclusions This qualitative study concludes that the oral health of the children at foster care centres and at religious schools depends upon the personal reasoning and pre-existing religio-cultural knowledge of the caregivers rather than on specialized oral health-oriented approaches. The foster care centres are more involved in supervising the children to maintain oral hygiene and oral health compared to religious schools.

“…No entanto, esta idade da necessidade de supervisão depende do grau de desenvolvimento e maturidade da criança. (15) A remoção diária de placa bacteriana, juntamente com a aplicação tópica de flúor, é a base de qualquer programa preventivo de cárie dentária. (16) Revisões sistemáticas recentes estabeleceram forte evidência em relação ao uso diário de pasta de dentes fluoretada como sendo o método de prevenção de cárie autoaplicado com melhor relação custo-benefício em crianças em idade pré-escolar.…”

Ao meu orientador, o Professor Doutor Mário Bernardo, por ter sido o meu braço direito, no verdadeiro sentido da palavra, pois nunca me deixou perder o rumo.Tenho que reconhecer a sua extrema paciência para todas as minhas dúvidas e preocupações, pois encontrava sempre uma pronta solução para me dar. Ao mesmo tempo, as palavras que me dava eram as mais acertadas e davam-me motivação para continuar a trabalhar e a melhorar. Não posso deixar de frisar que a sua exigência e rigor científico foram fundamentais para a conclusão desta dissertação. É sem sombra de dúvidas que nele revejo o modelo de Professor em que acredito.À minha coorientadora, a Professora Sónia Mendes, pelo apoio, pela sua disponibilidade e constante atenção aos pormenores. A sua dedicação e carinho pela Medicina Dentária Preventiva e Comunitária, bem como o trabalho que tem desenvolvido na área, inspiraram-me a querer saber mais e a levar a temática junto da população.Aos meus. À minha família, que sempre foi o meu porto de abrigo. Que ao longo de todos os anos do curso, nomeadamente nos meses em que trabalhei na dissertação, nunca me deixou desistir, apesar dos percalços com que me fui deparando. Todos eles, e cada um à sua maneira, me conseguiram incentivar a ver o melhor de cada etapa, de cada sucesso mas também de cada falha. Eles foram, sem dúvida, o meu pilar nesta longa e árdua caminhada. Sem eles teria sido impossível ou, pelo menos, muito mais difícil. Porque, apesar de tudo, nunca duvidaram de mim e de que, mais ou cedo ou mais tarde, conseguiria atingir os meus objetivos (na verdade, cada um tem o seu tempo). Espero, assim, conseguir retribuir-lhes tudo aquilo que fizeram por mim ao longo destes anos do curso. Mas sei que, de que maneira for, estarão felizes e orgulhosos. Saber que os tinha sempre do meu lado a torcer por mim foi o motivo maior que me levou a chegar até aqui. Aos meus. Aos meus amigos, aos de Fátima mas também aos que a faculdade me deu e que levo comigo. Que tiveram sempre uma palavra de incentivo, mesmo nos momentos mais complicados. Que souberam ouvir todas as incertezas e preocupações, mas ao mesmo tempo, partilharam comigo todas as alegrias e as conquistas. Porque eles são, sem dúvida, a minha segunda família e um dos grandes alicerces da minha vida.Considero-me uma sortuda, porque a caminhada foi bem melhor com eles ao meu lado.vi Caracterização das medidas de promoção da saúde oral aplicadas na educação pré-escolar 5 de julho de 2021 vii Resumo Introdução: A cárie dentária é uma das doenças crónicas mais prevalentes nas crianças em idade pré-escolar.

This qualitative study aimed to explore the perceptions and practices of caregivers at the care centers managing children’s oral health.Methods: A qualitative ethnomethodological approach was used to collect data from the caregivers at the child healthcare centers. A convenience sampling technique was used to conduct focus group discussions comprised of 4-7 caregivers from five foster care centers located in Lahore, Pakistan. An inductive-deductive approach was used to generate data by using a semi-structured interview guide. A three steps thematic analysis was applied to develop codes that were merged to generate categories and to conclude into themes from the transcribed data.Results: Five focus group discussions were conducted at two foster care homes (FG1 & FG2) and three madrasas (FG3, FG4 & FG5). Foster care homes had children of both genders within the same premises, however, madrasas had segregated settings. Four themes emerged from the thematic analysis providing a thick description of foster caregivers to maintain the oral health of the children. Children induction policy outlines the foster care environment and caregivers' perceived oral health severity defines their hygienic practices A socially conducive oral health knowledge, and integrative medicinal approach to treat oral health issues were evaluated.Conclusions: This qualitative study provided a multidimensional assessment of foster caregivers to maintain children’s oral health. With stringent induction policies, the foster care centers had better control over the children to maintain healthy oral health practices. Fostercare givers perceived severity about oral health issues and type of fostercare center defines the hygienic and medicinal practices.
