abstract = {This dissertation is based on two samples (Oslo and Granada; figures 1, 2, and table 1),
and four studies presented in papers (papers I-IV). Because oral hygiene was a very
important variable for us, and the indices that we used to measure this variable requires
being more than one natural tooth or a denture, we decided, for both samples, to include
people with at least three natural teeth and or who were denture wearers. The study
reported in paper III was carried out at the Gerodontology Unit of the Cariology and
Gerodontology Department, of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo, Norway.
The reason for carrying out part of the thesis in Norway was because the author wished
to apply for the European Doctorate at the University of Granada.
The dissertation comprises six chapters. The first chapter is a general introduction
describing the relationship between oral health, oral health related quality of life, and
cognitive impairment, as well as the role oral health training programmes delivered to
caregivers play in improving the oral health of institutionalised elderly. This chapter
also presents the aims and hypothesis of this dissertation and introduces the studies that
we have conducted in order to address those aims. Chapters II to V introduce each one
of the studies carried out. The last chapter summarises the studies, concludes the
dissertation, and makes suggestions for futures studies.},
abstract = {El objetivo final de la profesión odontológica es mejorar y mantener la salud de las
personas en un contexto comprehensivo de calidad de vida. Muchos artículos reportan
estudios de formación en salud oral a cuidadores, y sus resultados son contradictorios.
Diseñar cualquier clase de intervención sin tener en cuenta el contexto y los diferentes
sujetos que intervienen en el, es por lo menos, incompleto.
Esta tesis doctoral aspira a la mención de Doctorado Europeo, por la Universidad de
Granada. Por esta razón, se trabajó con dos muestras, en las que se diseñaron cuatro
estudios así:
• Muestra de Granada: dos estudios prospectivos a 12 meses (artículos II y IV) y un
estudio de corte (artículo I).
• Muestra de Oslo: Un estudio de corte (artículo III)},
