A brief intervention changing oral self-care, self-efficacy, and self-monitoring
Abstract
Background and aim: The roles of self‐efficacy and self‐monitoring as proximal predictors of dental flossing frequency are studied in the context of an oral health intervention. Materials and methods: A study among 287 university students, aged 19 to 26 years, compared an intervention group that received a brief self‐regulatory treatment, with a passive and an active control group. Dental flossing, self‐efficacy, and self‐monitoring were assessed at baseline and 3 weeks later. Results: The intervention led to an increase in dental flossing regardless of experimental condition. However, treatment‐specific gains were documented for self‐efficacy and self‐monitoring. Moreover, changes in the latter two served as mediators in a path model, linking the intervention with subsequent dental flossing and yielding significant indirect effects. Conclusions: Self‐efficacy and self‐monitoring play a mediating role in facilitating dental flossing. Interventions that aim at an improvement in oral self‐care should consider using these constructs. Statement of contribution: What is already known on this subject? The adoption and maintenance of oral self‐care can be facilitated by a number of social‐cognitive variables. Interventions that include planning, action control, or self‐efficacy components have been shown to improve dental flossing. In one recent study on flossing in adolescent girls, planning intervention effects were mediated by self‐efficacy. What does this study add? Self‐monitoring is associated with better oral self‐care. A 10‐min intervention improves self‐efficacy and self‐monitoring. Self‐efficacy and self‐monitoring operate as mediators between treatment and flossing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
