عوامل مرتبط با تقاضای خدمات دندان‌پزشکی پایه در خانوارهای ایرانی

نوع مقاله : مقاله‌های پژوهشی

چکیده

مقدمه: سلامت دهان و دندان، یک عامل مؤثر در کیفیت زندگی محسوب می‌شود. هدف از این مطالعه، بررسی عوامل مرتبط با تقاضای خدمات دندان‌پزشکی پایه در خانوارهای ایرانی بود.
مواد و روش‌ها: مطالعه‌ی‌ حاضر از نوع تحلیل ثانویه داده‌های Cross sectional بود و در آن اطلاعات گردآوری شده در پیمایش ملی هزینه‌- درآمد خانوار در سال‌های 1396 تحلیل شدند. نمونه‌ی پژوهش حاضر شامل 17548 خانوار واجد شرایط از کل کشور بود. برای بررسی تقاضای خدمات دندان‌پزشکی از مدل‌سازی Logistic regression استفاده گردید. در مجموع سه مدل برازش شد.
یافته‌ها: احتمال تقاضای خدمات دندان‌پزشکی پایه در خانوارهایی که سرپرستان تحصیلات بالاتر داشتند، یا غیر متأهل و یا غیر شاغل بودند، به شکل معنی‌داری کمتر بود (0/05 > p value). احتمال تقاضا برای خدمات دندان‌پزشکی پایه، در هر پنجک درآمدی نسبت به پنجک درآمدی اول (کم درآمدترین خانوارها)، به شکل معنی‌داری بالاتر بود (0/05 > p value). همچنین، احتمال تقاضای خانوار برای خدمات دندان‌پزشکی پایه در خانوارهای دارای سالمندان بالای 70 سال و خانوارهای دارای فرد 6 تا 12 سال، نسبت به سایر خانوارها به شکل معنی‌داری بیشتر بود (0/05 > p value). رفتار بعضی متغیرها در مدل‌های مختلف برازش شده متفاوت بود (0/05 > p value).
نتیجه‌گیری: احتمال تقاضای خدمات دندان‌پزشکی پایه توسط خانوار با متغیرهای جمعیت‌شناختی، متغیرهای اقتصادی و ساختار سنی اعضای خانوار ارتباط معنی‌دار داشت. بنابراین، تصمیمات سیاستی مربوط به خدمات دندان‌پزشکی لازم است مبتنی بر وضعیت جمعیت‌شناسی، تفاوت‌های اقتصادی و ساختار سنی افراد جامعه باشد.

Correlates of Demand for Basic Dental Services in Iranian Households

چکیده [English]

Introduction: Oral health is an important factor affecting quality of life. This research examined the correlates of demand for basic dental services among the Iranian households.
Materials & Methods: This research was a secondary data analysis of cross-sectional data in which the data extracted from National Survey of Iran’s Household Income and Expenditure Survey-2018 were analyzed. The study sample included 17548 eligible households from whole country. The logistic regression model was used to analyze demand for basic dental services. Three regression models were estimated.
Results: The probability of demand for basic dental services was reduced as households’ heads were more educated, non-married or unemployed (p value < 0.05). The probabilities of demand for basic dental services were higher among households of higher income quintiles comparing to the first income quintile (p value < 0.05). Furthermore, the probability of demand for basic dental services was higher among those households with elderlies aged more than 70 years old or those households with children aged between 6-12 years old (p value < 0.05).
Conclusion: The possibility of demand for basic dental services was correlated to demographic and economic factors as well as age component of household’s members. As a result, policymakers for dental care services should pay attention to demographic and economic status and age status of population.
