Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, we attempted to assess how psychological theories (Health Belief Model (HBM), Theory of Planned Behavior(TPB), Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), Clinical Theories (CT) and Other Theories (OT)) influence oral health interventions. METHODS: Pubmed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Web of Knowledge databases from the years 2000 to 2017, were searched. We defined psychological theories based on five subgroups: A) HBM, B) TPB, C) SCT, E) CT and F) OT. RESULTS: From 156 identified studies,19 studies based on PICOs were included. Our finding indicated that the Standardized Mean Difference (SMD) of the HBM was 0.37 (95% CI; 0.24, 0.51), which was statistically significant in improving oral health. The SMD of SCT was not significant 0.05 (95% CI; -0.33, 0.44) on improving oral health. The SMD of the TPB was significant 1.66 (195% CI; 1.06, 2.27) on improving oral health. The SMD of CT size -4.6 (95% CI; -6.49, -2.71) and OT 2.93(95% CI; 1.55, 4.32) revealed significant differences on improving oral health. CONCLUSION: The current meta-analysis showed that in general, psychological interventions that used OT, CT, HBM, and TPB were effective in enhancing oral health status, and interventions that used SCT did not have an effect on improving oral health status. Oral health care providers who work with patients to take methods and improve behaviors that are related to appropriate oral health need to comprehend their applicability and strengths.
