Fisher Exact Test showed a correlation between knowledge on oral hygiene management behavior n nasopharyngeal cancer patients with radiation with a p–value = 0.002. The results also show a significant correlation between attitudes on oral hygiene management behavior in nasopharyngeal cancer patients with radiation with a p–value = 0.000.
Conclusion: Patients with good knowledge and positive attitudes have good oral hygiene behavior, whereas patients with poor knowledge and negative attitudes will behave with poor oral hygiene management.
