Abstract Objective: This study explores patient compliance with oral health care regimens in a tertiary hospital, focusing on barriers, motivators, and demographic influences using a mixed-method approach.
Methods: A total of 300 patients completed surveys assessing demographic factors, adherence levels, and barriers, while 30 participants participated in in-depth interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and qualitative data were thematically analyzed.
Results: Financial constraints 35%), time limitations 25%), and systemic issues 20%) were identified as primary barriers. Motivators included perceived benefits, external reinforcement, and professional support. Demographic factors, such as age, education, and socioeconomic status, significantly influenced adherence levels. Integration of findings emphasized the need for targeted interventions addressing both individual and systemic factors.
Conclusion: Addressing financial and systemic barriers while enhancing motivation through tailored strategies can improve oral health compliance, particularly in diverse patient populations within tertiary care settings.
