Summary:碩士 === 高雄醫學大學 === 口腔衛生科學研究所碩士在職專班 === 101 === Abstract Background The living and educational levels of our country have been improved in a high degree in recent years.Health care workers also declared the warning about the possibility of oral cancer on chewing betel quid,but it didn''t scare the chewers at all. This research was performed to understand the effect of the intervention to the chewers who are dependent on betel quid chewing.

Method The research used formal research data and design a questionnaire which contained 「betel quid chewing knowledge scale」、「betel quid chewing attitude scale」and 「betel quid chewing behavior scale」. Results There is significant difference in the changing amount of betel quid chewing knowledge and denendent degree,but no significant difference in the changing amount of betel quid chewing attitudes and behavior . Conclusion From the result of the present study,the intervention behavior of oral hygiene education still had quite good effect on betel quid chewing,even the amount of betel quid chewing in pieces didn''t decrease significantly on the table;but it is known via test that the knowledge and dependent degree of betel quid chewing of the intervention group had significant improvement,especially on the 20-34 years old group.
