Brief Summary

Background The oral health of pregnant women affects not only the systemic health of the mother but also the birth outcome of the fetus. Therefore, oral health management of pregnant women is important for both maternal and fetal health. Objectives The study aimed to examine the effects of stress, anxiety, and depression experienced by pregnant women on sleep bruxism and oral health. Methodology This cross-sectional study was conducted between September and November 2023 on 321 pregnant women who volunteered to participate in the study by posting on social media forum pages via the web. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASS-21), and Oral Health Impact Scale (OHIP-14-TR). Descriptive statistical methods, the Kruskal-Wallis test, Mann-Whitney-U test, and Spearman correlation test were used to analyze the data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale

  Sarıçam (2018) adapted the scale developed by Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) into Turkish. In the scale consisting of depression, anxiety, and stress sub-dimensions, each sub-dimension consists of seven items. Scale items are scored from 0 to 3 (0=never and 3=always). Scores between 0 and 21 can be obtained from the scale sub-factors. Higher scores indicate higher levels of depression, anxiety, and stress.

• Oral Health Impact Scale

  Oral Health Impact Scale (OHIP-14) with an internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach alpha) of 0.74, which was conducted by Başol et al. in 2014 for Turkish validity and reliability. The scale consists of 14 items with a 5-point Likert response scale (never-0; rarely-1; sometimes-2; often-3; very often-4) and seven subscales, each consisting of two items: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. The total score obtained from the scale is obtained by summing the scores given to each item, and the total scale score range varies between 0 and 56.
