According to the World Health Organization (WHO), dental caries is one of the oral
health issues that can significantly impact public health. Data from the Basic Health
Research (RISKESDAS) in 2018 indicated that oral health remains a concern in
Indonesia, with a national prevalence rate of 57.6% for oral health issues. In Sumatera
Barat, the prevalence of oral health problems among the population is as high as 58.5%.
This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to dental caries incidence in
elementary school students in North Siberut Sub-District in 2023.
This research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative
methods. The quantitative component utilizes a cross-sectional design with a
questionnaire administered to 125 elementary school students. Statistical analysis is
conducted using Chi-Square. The qualitative component involves in-depth interviews
with 8 informants. Data collection took place in August at elementary schools in North
Siberut Sub-District, Mentawai Islands Regency in 2023.
The research findings indicate that 61.6% of the 125 respondents have good knowledge,
52.8% exhibit positive attitudes, 53.6% hold positive perceptions, and 55.2%
demonstrate positive behaviors. Furthermore, 57.6% of the respondents mentioned that
healthcare workers play a role, and 94.4% experienced dental caries. In-depth interviews
revealed that while there is health education conducted by healthcare professionals at
health centers, there is no specific education on dental caries prevention. Despite these
efforts, the prevalence of dental caries remains high.
The study demonstrates a significant relationship between knowledge and dental caries
incidence, with a P-value of 0.025 and an odds ratio (OR) of 0.92. It is recommended to
prioritize health education as a means of preventing dental caries and to implement
school-based oral health programs to reduce dental caries incidence.
