Résumé
Reports examining the impact of oral health on the quality of life of refugees are lacking. The aim of this study was to examine factors influencing oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) among Syrian refugees in Jordan. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a convenience sample of Syrian refugees, who attended dental clinics held at Azraq camp. The survey assessed the refugees' oral hygiene practices, and measured their OHRQoL using the Arabic version of the United-Kingdom Oral Health-Related Quality of life measure. In total, 102 refugees [36 male and 66 female; mean age 34 (SD = 10) years] participated. Overall, 12.7% did not brush their teeth and 86.3% did not use adjunctive dental cleaning methods. OHRQoL mean score was 56.55 (range 32-80). Comparison of the physical, social and psychological domains identified a statistically significant difference between the physical and the psychological domain mean scores (ANOVA; P = 0.044, Tukey's test; P = 0.46). The factors which revealed association with OHRQoL scores in the univariable analyses, and remained significant in the multivariable linear regression analysis, were: age (P = 0.048), toothbrushing frequency (P = 0.001) and attending a dental clinic in the last year (P = 0.004). The physical aspect of quality of life was more negatively impacted than the psychological aspect. Toothbrushing frequency and attending a dental clinic at least once in the last year were associated with more positive OHRQoL scores. Older refugees seemed to be more vulnerable to the impact of poor oral health on OHRQoL.
