Abstract
(descriptive): In this article the authors analyze different variables that influence the self-care behavior of pediatric patients attending medical consultations, as well as the behavior of their parents, in relation to achieving good oral health. These variables include: self-belief, behavioral intention and control. In this study conducted in Mexico, participants included 43 pediatric patients aged between 6 and 13 years old, and 36 parents aged between 21 and 47 years of age who accompanied their children to receive dental treatment. The results show that pediatric patients have higher self-belief than their parents. However, parents have better behavioral intentions and oral hygiene habits than their children. There were no significant differences between pediatric patients and their parents in action control.
Key Words: Self-management, behavior, skills development, oral health
