- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMDs) and oral cancer (OC) are preventable oral mucosal
diseases prevalent in Asian region. This epidemiological study aims to identify oral potentially malignant disorders
(OPMDs) and oral cancer (OC), confirm histopathologically, and treat or refer these cases among the population of
Eastern Development Region (EDR) of Nepal. It also attempts to assess the risk factors associated in order to compare
dose–response measurements of oral habits in these patients. Methods: Cross-sectional epidemiological study was
conducted over a period of 2 years in 16 districts of EDR. A total of 3,200 people were screened. A brief history was
taken and visual screening examination was conducted in two phases as described by British Columbia Oral Cancer
Prevention Program. Suspicious oral lesions were biopsied either by punch or scalpel after toluidine blue staining.
Tissue specimen was transported to the institutional lab for histopathological processing. The reports were sent to the
patients through the local leaders or organizations. Results: More than 40% of the study population either chewed
areca nut and/or tobacco. Eighteen percent were smokers. OPMDs were prevalent among 468 study population with
male-female ratio of 3:1. Tobacco pouch keratosis (50.4%) was the most prevalent OPMD, followed by OSF (29.1%).
Fifty-two had squamous cell carcinoma and 8 had verrucous carcinoma. Conclusion: Chewing areca nut, tobacco,
commercial areca nut/tobacco preparation and smoking being the major risk factors, there is high prevalence of oral
cancer and OPMDs in the EDR of Nepal.- انتشار مقاله: 22-10-1396

- چکیده انگلیسی: Objective: To develop a mass media campaign on oral carcinogens and their effects on the oral cavity in order
to increase awareness among the general population. Methods: Documentary and public service announcements
highlighting the effects of tobacco and its products were designed and developed based on principles of behavior change. A
questionnaire, designed to determine the knowledge, attitude and practice of people regarding oral carcinogens, was used
to conduct a baseline survey at various sites in eastern Nepal. Local television channels and radio stations broadcasted
the documentary and public service announcements. An evaluation survey was then performed to assess the effectiveness
of the campaign. Results: Baseline and evaluation surveys covered 1,972 and 2,140 individuals, respectively. A third
of the baseline population consumed quid, 22% chewing tobacco, 16% gutka (commercial preparation of arecanut,
tobacco, lime and chemicals) and 25% cigarettes. Tobacco consumption differed significantly between 3 ecologic regions
with greater use in the Terai region. The knowledge prevalence regarding the oral carcinogens quid (70%), chewing
tobacco (82%), gutka (58%) and cigarettes (93%) significantly increased in the evaluation population. Females were
more aware about the various tobacco products and their effects on health. More people knew about the harmful effects
of tobacco on their health and oral cavity, and had their mouth examined and the frequency of consumption of these
products reduced significantly after the campaign. Attitudes towards production, sale and advertisements of tobacco
also improved significantly. Conclusions: The mass media campaign was an effective tool for increasing awareness
among the population.- انتشار مقاله: 25-07-1396
