Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to examine factors predicting child oral health care behaviors among Children under the Age of 1 Years and a half to 3 Years in Wiangsa District, Nan Province. The sample consisted of 261 parents of children aged 1-3 years, that were selected by using multistage stage sampling. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Chi-square statistics and multiple logistic regression analysis. The results revealed that all of health belief toward child oral health care and knowledge on child oral health care were high level. Child Oral health care behavior was at moderate level. Chi-square test revealed that factors related to child oral health care behavior were cues to action of child oral health care and knowledge toward child oral health care (p-value <0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the cues to action of child oral health care and perceived barriers of preventing child oral health problems together predicted 58.2% of child oral health care behavior. These results suggest that the relevant agencies should encourage and support media equipment, promote community network, announce public relations, and provide learning process in order to promote and develop child oral health care skills among parents to reduce perceived barriers of preventing oral health problems in children.
