With the objective of clarifying registered nurses' awareness of psychiatric disorder patients, oral hygiene, a self-response type questionnaire was sent to 243 registered nurses in charge of patients in hospital wards and a valid response was obtained from 190. According to the results, approximately half the registered nurses thought that patients were not greatly concerned about oral hygiene and did not sufficiently understand the need for it; and recognized that the practice of oral hygiene activities was also insufficient. 60 per cent of registered nurses recognized that they did not talk much about oral hygiene with patients. There were also many responses to the effect that doctors, dental hygienists and registered nurses should provide guidance in oral hygiene. From the above, it is clear that there is an awareness that oral hygiene is not sufficiently maintained, and suggestions were obtained about making efforts to arrange to discuss oral hygiene with patients and the need to get to grips with oral hygiene activities in cooperation with other members of staff.
