Use the fоllоwing scenаriо to аnswer questions 30 to 35. The director of а local nursing home has approached you to design an oral health protocol for the 300 residents. Currently, a registered nurse is performing the intake oral examination, and the nursing home has an “on call” dentist. The majority of residents require assistance with daily hygiene practices. The caregivers state that the residents have severe halitosis, trouble eating, and frequently lose their removable partial dentures. You observe that the caregivers are neglecting daily oral hygiene care of clients and are not expected to conduct oral cancer screenings. On the basis of these observations, you decide to carry out oral hygiene and oral cancer screening of all residents and introduce an educational component to be used by the facility’s caregivers. The educational component will consist of six weekly 20 minute sessions and will focus on knowledge of the risk of oral cancer, the benefits of periodic oral screenings, recognition of signs and symptoms of common oral lesions, daily oral hygiene care, and other oral health procedures to meet the needs of the residents. In addition to meeting the immediate needs of residents, your long-term goal is to influence and improve the caregivers’ attitudes and change the social norms around oral health care at the facility. As staff turnover is very high in nursing homes, you intend new staff to learn the improved new oral cancer screening behaviors from the remaining staff. The theory you use for your intervention proposes that health behaviors are shaped by individual attitudes and social norms.
