“…A more external locus of control as shown by higher SILOC scores was associated with higher dental neglect, caries, and plaque and gingivitis prevalence as well as with a tendency to postpone needed dental treatment. Previous research has shown that an external locus of control was associated with poorer oral health indicators [11,13,14] well as poorer dental attendance [17,29,30], which were in agreement with the findings of our study. These factors were considered for validation of the SILOC as they have been shown to be associated with locus of control in the past.…”

“…These factors were considered for validation of the SILOC as they have been shown to be associated with locus of control in the past. Females demonstrated lower SILOC scores signifying greater internality than males which were in agreement with the findings reported by Peker and Bermek [30]. These findings may be explained by the fact that females tend to have better health compliance than males.…”

Purpose: To develop a Socio-Dental Impact Locus of Control Scale (SILOC) and to study its relationship with oral health status as well as dental attendance. Materials and methods:In the pilot study, 100 students returned completed forms containing the Multi Dimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC) and the (SILOC) scale. In the main study, 509 adolescent school children from three schools returned completed forms containing the SILOC scale and were examined for oral health status and dental attendance. Results:The SILOC scores highly correlated with the MHLC scores. A Cronbach's alpha of 0.75 showed its internal consistency. Those with higher SILOC scores had greater levels of caries, plaque, gingivitis, and a history of postponing needed dental visits. Multiple logistic regression analysis after adjusting for potential confounders showed that those with high SILOC scores were more likely to be having caries (OR=3.32, p<0.001), plaque (OR=1.83, p=0.026), gingivitis (OR=1.80, p=0.012) and a history of 'Postponement of needed dental treatment' (OR=4.5, p<0.001) as compared to the others. Conclusion:The SILOC scale showed satisfactory reliability and validity in measuring Locus of Control orientation in relation to socio-dental impacts in an Indian adolescent population.

“…Estes resultados podem refletir a importância do desenvolvimento psicológico e social durante o envelhecimento, concomitantemente ao aumento da necessidade de tratamento restaurador e protético [10]. À medida em que a pessoa envelhece, há uma tendência a aumentar a necessidade de tratamento odontológico, relacionada a perdas das funções do sistema estomatognático, como mastigar, deglutir e conversar, além de aspectos de estética e socialização.…”

“…Crenças sobre percepção de controle de saúde são consideradas um importante fator motivacional para a compreensão da adoção de comportamentos de promoção da saúde pelos idosos [10]. O locus de controle de saúde é capaz de indicar se os indivíduos vão ou não tomar responsabilidade por sua própria saúde [11,12].…”

ABSTRACT Aims:To conduct an epidemiological survey on oral health and psychosocial factors in individuals aged 60 years or older. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with elderly individuals as the target population. A representative sample of Diamantina, a town in Minas Gerais State, southeastern Brazil, was used. The sample consisted of individuals aged over 60 years registered at Family Health Strategy units in the rural and urban areas of Diamantina. Data were collected at home by means of oral examinations performed by a single trained and calibrated examiner, and through questionnaires. The decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) index and sociodemographic data were investigated. Data on oral health-related quality of life, health locus of control, and use of alcohol and drugs in old age were also obtained. Results: Thirty-seven elderly individuals with a mean age of 73.41±7.25 years were interviewed. The average DMFT index was equal to 25.38±5.18. There was a statistically significant correlation between functional limitations and age, external locus and random locus, functional limitation and income, functional limitation and internal locus, and DMFT index and social disability. Conclusions: It can be concluded that quality of life, health locus of control, and DMFT index are correlated factors in the elderly. Health professionals should act in seeking to promote healthy aging.KEY WORDS: quality of life; oral health; locus of health control; DMF index; aged.

“…In the past decade, few studies using validated subjective oral health measures have been conducted to verify the impact of different oral disorders and prosthodontic treatments on oral health quality of life in Turkish patients groups (Arslan et al, 2009;Baran & Nalcaci, 2011;Caglayan et al, 2009;Geckili et al, 2011). To the best of your knowledge, there is one published study that investigated the relationships among oral health beliefs, oral health behaviors, sociodemographic factors and SROH (Peker & Bermek, 2011). SROH is an assessment of the functional, psychological, and social impact of oral disease and disorder on overall well being (Locker & Gibson, 2005).…”
