An interventional study of Informational Leaflet in Knowledge, Oral Health and Pregnant Women, sponsored by University of Valencia. Recruiting at 1 site in Spain. Open to female participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-07-30.
Sponsored by University of Valencia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
The goal of this research is to investigate oral health knowledge in pregnant women receiving care at Hospital La Fe and to see whether a one-time informational intervention improves this knowledge. The main questions this research aims to answer are:
What is the level of oral health knowledge among pregnant women attending Hospital La Fe?
Does a one-time informational intervention, delivered through a printed leaflet, improve oral health knowledge during pregnancy?
What factors are related to differences in oral health knowledge among pregnant women?
Participants are pregnant women receiving care at Hospital La Fe. They will:
Complete a questionnaire about their oral health knowledge.
Receive a printed informational leaflet about oral health during pregnancy.
Complete the same questionnaire again after a period of time to see if their knowledge has changed.
Researchers will compare answers before and after the leaflet is provided to see whether oral health knowledge improves. They will also explore which personal or social factors are linked to different levels of oral health knowledge.
Exclusion Criteria:
A printed informational leaflet is developed with two sections: "For Mothers" and "About the Baby," following international pediatric dentistry recommendations. A pilot study tests the clarity and completion time of the questionnaires. Participants are informed about the study, sign the consent form, and complete an initial questionnaire about oral health knowledge during their hospital visit. They receive the leaflet and complete the same questionnaire again after a period of time to assess changes. Most follow-up questionnaires are conducted by phone.
Other: Informational Leaflet
The intervention consists of a printed informational leaflet for pregnant women. The leaflet has two sections: "For Mothers," which explains oral health care during pregnancy, and "About the Baby," which provides oral health recommendations for the newborn. The content is based on recommendations from international and national pediatric dentistry associations (AAPD, EAPD, ALOP, SEOP). Participants read the leaflet during their hospital visit and take it home for reference. The leaflet aims to improve participants' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding oral health during pregnancy and in the first years of the child's life.
Change in Oral Health Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices
Participants complete a questionnaire about oral health knowledge, attitudes, and practices during pregnancy and in the first years of the child's life. The difference between baseline and follow-up scores is analyzed to assess whether the informational leaflet improves knowledge, attitudes, and practices.
Time frame: From the date of administration of the first questionnaire (February 2026) to the date of completion of the second questionnaire following the intervention, assessed up to 39 weeks.
