Chennaideki Jinekologların Periodontitis ve Düşük Doğum Ağırlıklı Prematüre Bebekler Hakkındaki Farkındalığı: Bir Anket Çalışması

Year 2017, Volume: 20 Issue: 3, 175 - 179, 22.12.2017

Abstract

Amaç:
Periodontal enfeksiyon, gebeliğin olumsuz sonuçlarıyla ilişkilendirilmiştir.
Bundan dolayı jinekologların kadınların ağız sağlığı üzerindeki hormonal
etkileri konusunda eğitim alması önemlidir. Mevcut araştırma kadın seks
hormonlarının periodontal sağlık ve erken doğum üzerindeki etkileri konusundaki
jinekoloğun farkındalığını değerlendirdi.

Gereç ve yöntem: Chennai şehrinden altmış altı jinekolog, kadınlarda
hormonal ve periodontal sağlık ile düşük doğum ağırlıklı prematüre bebeklere
etkileri konusundaki bir anketi doldurdu. Katılımcılar, A Grubu (tıp
fakültesinde çalışan jinekologlar), B Grubu (özel hastanelerde çalışan
jinekologlar) ve C Grubu (hem tıp fakültelerinde hem de özel hastanelerde
çalışan jinekologlar) olmak üzere üç gruba ayrıldı. Anket yanıtları toplandı ve
gruplar arasındaki veriler istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular:
Çalışmanın sonuçları, çoğu jinekoloğun, çeşitli hormonal fazlarda kadın hastalarının
ağız sağlığı konusunda bilgili olduklarını ve endişe duyduğunu ortaya
koymuştur. Bununla birlikte, tıp fakültelerinde çalışan jinekologlar (Grup A)
ve hem tıp fakültelerinde hem de özel hastanelerde çalışan jinekologlar (Grup
C), özel hastanelerde çalışan doktorlardan (Grup B) istatiksel olarak anlamlı
derecede daha fazla sağlık bilincine sahip bulundu.







Sonuç: Bu
çalışmanın sonuçları, hormonal değişikliklerin periodontal dokular üzerindeki
etkileri hakkında yeterli bilgi bulunduğu sunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte, bu
bilginin, özellikle özel hastanelerde çalışan jinekologlar arasında sınırlı bir
şekilde göz önünde bulundurulması söz konusudur.

AWARENESS ABOUT PERIODONTITIS AND PRE-TERM LOW BIRTH WEIGHT INFANTS AMONG GYNECOLOGISTS IN CHENNAI- A QUESTIONNAIRE STUDY

Year 2017, Volume: 20 Issue: 3, 175 - 179, 22.12.2017

Abstract

Background: Periodontal
infection has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes.  Subsequently it is important that
gynecologists are educated about hormonal effects on women’s oral health.  The current study assessed gynecologist’s
awareness regarding the effect of female sex hormones on periodontal health and
preterm delivery.



Materials
and methods:
Sixty-six gynecologists from the city of Chennai
completed a questionnaire regarding awareness about female hormonal and
periodontal health and its effects on pre-term low birth weight infants.
Respondents were divided into three groups: Group A, (doctors who practiced at
a medical colleges) Group B (doctors who practiced at private hospitals) and
Group C. (doctors who practiced at both medical colleges and private hospitals)
Survey responses were collected and data between the groups were statistically
compared.



Results: Our
findings showed that most gynecologists were aware and concerned about female
patient’s oral health during various hormonal phases.  However, gynecologists practicing at medical
colleges (Group A) and gynecologists practicing at both medical colleges and
private hospitals (Group C) had significantly greater health awareness than
doctors practicing at private hospitals. (Group B)



Conclusion:
The
results of the current study imply the fact that there is adequate knowledge
about the effects of hormonal changes in the periodontal tissues. However,
there is limited incorporation of this knowledge, especially among
gynecologists who are exclusively into private practice.
