Influences of Oral Health Behaviors, Depression and Stress on Periodontal Disease in Pregnant Women: Hae-Jin Park, Hae Jung Lee, Soo Hyun Cho; J Korean Acad Nurs 2016;46(5):653-662. Published online October 31, 2016; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2016.46.5.653

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to identify the influences of oral health behaviors, depression, and stress on periodontal disease in pregnant women.

Methods

The participants in this study were 129 pregnant women. Data were collected using questionnaires which included individual characteristics, oral health care behaviors, the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale (CES-D), a global measure of perceived stress, and pregnancy stress. A dentist measured periodontal probing depth and classified stages of periodontal disease according to the Community Periodontal Index (CPI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression.

Results

Periodontal disease had significant correlations with oral health care behaviors (r=-.56, p <.001), perceived stress (r=.44 p <.001), pregnancy stress (r=.37 p <.001), diet (r=-.33, p <.001) and depression (r=.18 p =.046). Factors influencing periodontal disease for these pregnant women were being in the 2nd (β=.27, p <.001) or 3rd trimester (β=.45, p <.001), having a pregnancy induced disease (β=.20, p =.002), performing higher oral health behaviors (β=-.30, p <.001), and having higher perceived stress (β=.17, p =.028). The explanation power of this regression model was 61.6% (F=15.52, p <.001).

Conclusion

The findings of this study indicated that periodic assessment of periodontal disease is essential for pregnant women who are in 2nd or 3rd trimester and have pregnancy induced diseases. Enhancing oral health care behaviors and reducing perceived stress are indicated as effective strategies to reduce periodontal disease in pregnant women.

A Study on Clinical Nurses Level of Perception of Importance, Performance and Satisfaction in the control of Nosocomial Infection: Sun Ock Kim, Soo Hyun Cho; Journal of Nurses Academic Society 1997;27(4):765-776. Published online March 30, 2017; DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jnas.1997.27.4.765

Abstract PDF: Hospitals accomodate patients who have a high risk of infection due to reduced immunity as well as people who require surgical, medical or other treatments. Consequently, the role of clinical nurses, who come into close contact with these patients is very important in the control of nosocomial infection. This study was done to investigate and compare the level of perception of the importance of the control of nosocomial infections as well as the level of actual performance, and the level of satisfaction with the control of nosocomial by the clinical nurses. Thus, the purpose of this study is to contribute basic data for improving policies and educational programs to control nosocmial infection. A summary of the survey results is as follows. 1) The means of scores on all categories of the inquiry were 4.51 for awareness 4.42 for actual performance, and 3.20 for satisfaction, of a possible high score of 5.00. 2) Correlations of the level of perception of importance between characteristics of nurses and hospital control of nosocomial infection differed significantly according to the type of hospital establishment type(p=.005), age(p=.000), career(p=.000), position(p=.002), and regular conferences on infection control in working departments(p=.003). Correlation of the level of actual performance between characteristics of nurses and hospital control of nosocomial infection differed significantly according to type of hospital(p=.000), hospital size(p=.009), working department(p=.000), age(p=.000), career(p=.000), school career(p=.040), position(p=.000), education experience on nosocomial infection(p=.020), and regular conferences on infection control in working department (p=.000). Correlation of degree of satisfaction between characteristics of nurses and hospital control of nosocomial infection also differed significantly according the type of hospital establishment(p=.003), working department(p=.000), age(p=.000), and regular conferences on infection control in working department(p=.000). 3) Correlation between clinical nurses, level of perception of importance and actual level of performance for the control of nosocomial infection was relatively positive(r=.57, p=.000). Correlation between clinical nurses degree of satisfaction and level of actual performance for control of nosocomial infection was relatively positive(r=.47, p=.000). Correlation between clinical nurses, level of perception of importance and degree of satisfaction degree with the control of nosocomial infection was also relatively positive (r=.27, p=.000).
