Perceived Role and Perspectives of Midwives in Oral Health of Pregnant Women and Young Children: A Cross-Sectional Online Survey

This study aims to explore how midwives in Germany perceive their professional role in the context of oral health of pregnant women and young children.

A nationwide, anonymous, non-interventional online survey will be conducted to assess self-perceived role, confidence in counseling, perceived barriers, information sources, and training needs.

The study is designed as an exploratory cross-sectional survey without hypothesis testing.

Hvad måler undersøgelsen?

Primære resultatmål

Resultatmål	Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse	Tidsramme
Self-perceived professional role in oral health assessed by a self-developed questionnaire using Likert-scale items (1-5) Tidsramme: Day 1	Self-perceived professional role will be assessed using multiple items developed for this study, rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree). Higher scores indicate a stronger perceived role in oral health.	Day 1

Sekundære resultatmål

Resultatmål	Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse	Tidsramme
Self-reported confidence in oral health-related topics assessed by Likert-scale items (1-5) Tidsramme: Day 1	Confidence in oral health-related topics will be assessed using self-developed items rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = very unsure to 5 = very confident).
