One health problem that often occurs in school-age children is dental and oral health problems. One of the efforts made by increasing the knowledge of children and parents about dental and oral health. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on how to care for teeth and mouth on knowledge, attitudes and skills as well as dental and oral health status in elementary school children. This study uses a quasi-experimental design. Respondents of the study amounted to 64 children (intervention group 32 children and control group 32 children). In the intervention group health education was carried out on how to care for teeth and mouth and observed ways to care for teeth and mouth at home for 1 month by involving parents and being monitored by the teacher, while the control group was not carried out. Test the analysis using bivariate univariate (frequency distribution) analysis (t test and correlation test) and multivariate (multiple linear regression). The results showed that there was an effect of health education on how to care for teeth and mouth on the knowledge, attitudes and skills and dental and oral health status of elementary school children (p value = 0.000-0.002 and α = 0.0050). Conclusion: health education about how to care for teeth and mouth is an effort to improve dental and oral health status in children.

The people the behavior of maintaining dental health in elementary school children is still in the low category. This is evidenced by the results of basic health research proving that brushing teeth is good at the age of 5-9 which is 93.2% and at the age of 10-14 it is 96.5% but only 2.8% brushes teeth at the right time. Dental health education using traditional media can increase the dental health knowledge of elementary school children. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of traditional media on increasing dental health knowledge of elementary school children. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest with a control group design. The research was conducted at SDN 1 Sumbermulyo and SDN 2 Sumbermulyo, Pasanggaran District, Banyuwangi Regency. The research sample was taken by purposive sampling technique, as many as 48 students consisting of 24 intervention groups and 24 control groups. The intervention group was dental health education using traditional "wayang" media, while the control group was dental health education using power point media. analysis using the paired sample t-test and independent sample t-test. Result: level of knowledge of dental health before and after in the treatment group and control group obtained significancy p = 0.000 then p < 0.05 which means dental health education with wayang media and power media point is equally effective in increasing the dental health knowledge of elementary school children. Difference in the level of knowledge between the intervention group and the control group value of p = 0.000, then p < 0.05, which means that dental health education using wayang media is more effective in increasing dental and oral health knowledge of elementary school children than using power point media. Conclusion: dental health education using traditional media is effective in increasing the dental health knowledge of elementary school children.

A child is a candidate for the next generation of the nation and national development capital. If children have good qualities such as healthy, smart, physically strong, and productive, they will help support national development for a country. Children's reproductive health is part of overall health, because health problems in children will disrupt the function of reproductive health. Provision of health education is one of the strategies to create healthy and well-behaved children, especially in maintaining reproductive health. This study aims to determine the effect of health education using the traditional game media that has been modified to the level of knowledge and behavior of reproductive health. The study used a quasi-experimental design on 45 elementary school children taken with total sampling technique. Data collection was obtained from primary data using a questionnaire that was analyzed by Repeated ANOVA and McNemar. There is an effect by using the Engklek game on knowledge reproductive health before intervention, after the first intervention, and after the second intervention which is the result showed p value= 0.001 (p<0.05). Then there is no effect of using Engklek game on the behavior of reproductive health before intervention and after the first intervention the result showed p value= 0.508 (p< 0.05) and there is an effect before intervention and after the second intervention which showed p value= 0.000 (p <0.05). There is an effect of health education using media playing Engklek on knowledge and behavior in maintaining reproductive health.   Keywords: Reproductive health; elementary school children; Engklek games

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.
