美国的墨西哥移民口腔健康状况不佳。本研究的目的是探讨应用基于理论的因素与墨西哥裔美国成年人样本中寻求预防性牙科护理相关的效用。数据来自对 157 名墨西哥裔人（64% 为女性；年龄 34±11 岁）样本的横断面调查，这些样本主要从印第安纳州中部的教会会众和世俗社区组织中招募。使用行为预测综合模型作为指导框架，使用结构方程模型来测试与寻求预防性牙科护理意愿相关的因素。寻求预防性牙科护理的态度（估计= 0.37；p< .0001）和寻求预防性牙科护理的自我效能（估计= 0.68；p< .0001）与寻求预防性牙科护理的意愿相关。牙科信念与寻求预防性牙科护理意愿之间的关联由态度和自我效能介导（间接效应 = 0.26，p = .002），过去行为与寻求预防性牙科护理意图之间的关联由自我效能介导（间接效应 = 0.26，p = .003）。这些发现表明，增加墨西哥裔美国人预防性牙科护理寻求行为的干预措施应侧重于改变寻求预防性牙科护理的态度，并提高寻求预防性牙科护理的自我效能。研究结果还支持使用干预措施来影响牙科信念。
Mexican immigrants in the United States suffer from poor oral health. The objective of the current study was to explore the utility of applying theory-based factors associated with seeking preventive dental care in a sample of Mexican American adults. Data were collected from a cross-sectional survey of a sample of 157 people of Mexican origin (64% female; age 34 ± 11 years) recruited primarily from church congregations and lay community organizations in Central Indiana. Using the Integrative Model of Behavioral Prediction as the guiding framework, structural equation modeling was used to test factors associated with intention to seek preventive dental care. Attitude towards seeking preventive dental care (estimate = 0.37; p < .0001) and self-efficacy for seeking preventive dental care (estimate = 0.68; p < .0001) were associated with intention to seek preventive dental care. The association between dental beliefs and intention to seek preventive dental care was mediated by attitude and self-efficacy (indirect effect = 0.26, p = .002), and the association between past behavior and intention to seek preventive dental care was mediated by self-efficacy (indirect effect = 0.26, p = .003). These findings suggest that interventions to increase preventive dental care seeking behavior among Mexican Americans should focus on changing attitudes toward seeking preventive dental care and on increasing self-efficacy to seek preventive dental care. Findings also support the use of interventions to influence dental beliefs.
