Epidemiologic data have documented that the oral health status of older adults, especially frail, homebound individuals is less than optimal and may contribute to a diminished quality of life and to the development of other medical conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of conducting an in-home oral assessment and providing client-specific education on the oral health status of older adults receiving home health care services. In addition, the oral health status and related psychosocial attitudes of this population were assessed.

520 $a Epidemiologic data have documented that the oral health status of older adults, especially frail, homebound individuals is less than optimal and may contribute to a diminished quality of life and to the development of other medical conditions. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of conducting an in-home oral assessment and providing client-specific education on the oral health status of older adults receiving home health care services. In addition, the oral health status and related psychosocial attitudes of this population were assessed.
520 $a A convenience sample of 58 subjects, the majority of whom were receiving home health care services through the Veteran's Administration, were assigned to either a treatment or control group. All of the subjects completed a standardized interview questionnaire and received an oral examination conducted by a registered dental hygienist. Subjects in the treatment group received information on their oral health status and specific oral care instructions. Approximately 10 weeks after the initial visit, a second in-home visit was conducted to reassess oral health status and oral hygiene behaviors.
520 $a Findings indicated that the in-home oral assessment and education intervention had a positive effect on oral health status as measured by the Brief Oral Health Status Examination (BOHSE) instrument and on self-reported oral hygiene behaviors. No difference in oral health functional status, i.e., ability to chew, swallow or talk as measured by the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) was found between the treatment and control group. Significant correlations were found between self-assessed oral health status and BOHSE and GOHAI findings with those reporting poorer oral health having lower BOHSE and GOHAI scores. Positive correlations were also found between level of concern for perceived barriers to care and GOHAI findings and self-reported need for dental care and GOHAI scores. No significant correlations were found between BOHSE and GOHAI findings and the psychosocial attributes of self-efficacy and health beliefs related to the maintenance of oral health.
