The constructs \u2013 attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control (dependent variables) \u2013 and their individual indirect (direct) items were analyzed for scores, internal validity, independent variables (district, gender, years of service, profession, and age), and contribution to intentions. Perceived behavioral control had low construct validity and was therefore removed from subsequent analyses.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> The questionnaire was completed by 195 participants (90 percent response rate). PHC provider's attitudes, subjective norms, and intentions to perform an oral examination during outpatient consultations were highly positive, with mean scores of 6.30 (0.82), 6.06 (1.07), and 5.6 (1.33), respectively, regardless of sociodemographic characteristics. Indirect attitude and subjective norms were strongly correlated to their individual items (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.63\u20100.79, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.05 and <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.78\u20100.87, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.05) and moderately to their direct items (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.44, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001 and <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.52, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001). Attitudes (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.0026) and subjective norms (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001) were both predictive of intentions.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> PHC providers were willing to integrate patients' oral health care into their routine medical consultations. Emphasizing the importance of detecting other oral problems and of the fact that routine oral examination for OPC is likely to give patients' fulfillment will enhance PHC providers' morale in performing routine oral examinations. Winning support from policy makers, their supervisors, specialists, and colleagues is important for motivating PHC providers to perform routine oral examinations for OPC at their workplaces.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1752-7325.2012.00353.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,5]],"date-time":"2012-07-05T07:01:56Z","timestamp":1341471716000},"page":"127-134","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Attitudes, subjective norms, and intention to perform routine oral examination for oropharyngeal candidiasis as perceived by primary health\u2010care providers in Nairobi Province"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"73","author":[{"given":"Lucina N.","family":"Koyio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emil","family":"Kikwilu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jan","family":"Mulder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jo E.","family":"Frencken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_2","volume-title":"The World Oral Health report 2003.
