Abstract
Latar Belakang: Karies gigi merupakan salah satu masalah kesehatan gigi dan
mulut yang masih tinggi, terutama pada anak usia prasekolah. Anak pada usia ini sangat bergantung pada peran orang tua, khususnya ibu, dalam menjaga kebersihan dan kesehatan gigi. Tingkat pengetahuan ibu menjadi faktor penting yang dapat memengaruhi perilaku pemeliharaan kesehatan gigi anak serta risiko terjadinya karies. Tujuan Penelitian: Mengetahui hubungan tingkat pengetahuan ibu dengan terjadinya karies gigi pada anak usia prasekolah. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan analitik cross-sectional. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 65 ibu dan anak yang diambil dengan teknik total sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan ibu dan pemeriksaan klinis menggunakan indeks def-t pada anak. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat. Hasil Penelitian: Sebagian besar ibu memiliki tingkat pengetahuan kategori kurang (43%). Status karies gigi anak sebagian besar berada pada kategori tinggi (62%). Hasil uji Fisher-Freeman-Halton Exact menunjukkan nilai p-value sebesar 0,056 (p>0,05), yang berarti tidak terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan ibu dengan terjadinya karies gigi pada anak usia prasekolah. Kesimpulan: Tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan ibu dengan kejadian karies gigi pada anak usia prasekolah di TK Harapan Ibu Kertapati Kota Palembang. Artinya kejadian karies tidak dipengaruhi oleh pengetahuan ibu saja namun dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor.
Background: Dental caries remains a significant oral health problem, particularly
among preschool-aged children. Children at this age are highly dependent on their parents—especially their mothers—to maintain their oral hygiene and dental health. Mothers’ level of knowledge is a critical factor that can influence children’s oral health maintenance behaviors and the risk of developing caries. Objective: To determine the relationship between mothers’ level of knowledge and the occurrence of dental caries in preschool-aged children. Methods: This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional analytical approach. The study sample consisted of 65 mothers and children selected using total sampling. Data were collected via a questionnaire to measure mothers’ knowledge levels and through clinical examinations using the DEFT index in children. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Fisher-Freeman-Halton Exact test. Result: The majority of mothers had a “low” level of knowledge (43%).The prevalence of dental caries among children was predominantly in the “high”
category (62%). The results of the Fisher-Freeman-Halton Exact test showed a p-value of 0.056 (p > 0.05), indicating that there was no significant association
between mothers’ knowledge levels and the occurrence of dental caries in
preschool-aged children. Conclusion: There is no significant association between mothers’ knowledge levels and the incidence of dental caries in preschool-aged children at Harapan Ibu Kertapati Kindergarten in Palembang. This implies that the incidence of caries is not influenced by mothers’ knowledge alone but is influenced by multiple factors.
