Abstract：Objective:To explore the current status of quality of life at different stages after implant restoration in edentulous patients and its influencing factors.Methods:A total of 186 edentulous patients who underwent implant restoration in the department of oral implantology of the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from September 2022 to November 2023 were selected as the research subjects.General information questionnaires,Oral Health Impact Profile-14(OHIP-14),Oral Health Care Knowledge,Attitude,and Practice Questionnaire,Implant Restoration Satisfaction Scale,Masticatory Function Evaluation Form,Social Support Rating Scale,and Oral Health Care Self-Efficacy Scale were used to conduct surveys at 1 week and 3 months after implant restoration in edentulous patients.Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of quality of life at different stages.Results:The total score of OHIP-14 was(42.69±7.75)at 1 week after implant restoration in edentulous patients,and(31.74±6.61)at 3 months after the operation.There were statistically significant differences in the total scores and scores of each dimension at different stages(P<0.001).The results of regression analysis showed that gender,age,number of implants,masticatory function,and postoperative pain score were the influencing factors of quality of life at 1 week after implant restoration in edentulous patients(P<0.05);age,satisfaction with one's own teeth,social support,and self-efficacy were the influencing factors of quality of life at 3 months after implant restoration in edentulous patients(P<0.05).Conclusions:The quality of life of edentulous patients changes dynamically at different stages after implant restoration and is affected by various factors.Nursing staff should actively formulate reasonable and effective nursing countermeasures and take timely intervention measures from the perspectives of sociodemographic factors,disease factors,and psychological cognition to improve the quality of life of patients.
