Gargling with Black Tea as an Effort to Increase Saliva pH in Elementary School Students

Background: Tea is an herbal product which has an antibacterial effect and ability to increase saliva pH. black tea contains polyphenols which can help prevent dental caries. The teeth of primary school-aged children are susceptible to caries, and prevention is needed as early as possible. Objective: To discover the effectiveness of gargling with black tea to the salivary pH increase on elementary school students. Method: This is a quasi-experimental research with the pretest-posttest design with control group. The population in this research was the 2nd grade students of State Elementary School are 58 students. Total Sampling was used for the sample collecting. The sample was divided to two groups, namely the treatment group of black tea gargling, and the other is the control group of distilled water gargling. The data analysis used Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney. Results: Based on the results, the average before gargling with black tea was 6.634, and increased to 7.297 after gargling with black tea. The average before gargling with distilled water was 6.648, and 6.669 after gargling with distilled water. The Wilcoxon Test result showed the value of p= 0.000< 0.05 which means there was a significant difference between before and after gargling with black tea. The Mann-Whitney Test result showed the value of p= 0.000 < 0.05 so there was an effectiveness difference between gargling with black tea and distilled water to the salivary pH increase.

The research method used was pre-experimental research which was conducted on elementary school students without using a control group. This research was conducted online at SDN Sonorejo 2 Kediri in August 2020. Pain measurement used the Wong-Baker Faces Pain, which was measured at the pretest and posttest. The results showed that the mean pretest score was 4.07 and for the post-test average score was 0.87. This shows that the mean pretest score results are in the interpretation of a little more pain, while the average posttest score results are in the painless interpretation, which means that there is a decrease from the average pretest score results. Wilcoxon test results obtained p value = 0.000 where α = 0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a significant reduction in low back pain after giving therapeutic exercise

The unbalanced eating behavior of school-age children is influenced by the level of nutritional knowledge. The purpose of this research is to analyze the comparison of media education with videos and pop-up books on the knowledge of balanced nutrition guidelines for elementary school students. This type of research is a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group design. The total sample used in the study was 90 students who were taken by probability sampling and then divided into two groups, 45 students were given education with video media (P1) and 45 students were educated with pop-up book media (P2). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney test with a significant level of 0.05. The results obtained are that there is a difference in the level of knowledge of the pop-up book group before and after education (p=0.0001) and there is no difference in the level of knowledge of the video group before and after education (p=1.00). Pop-up book media is more effective in increasing students' knowledge level of balanced nutrition compared to video, so pop-up book media can be an alternative media used to provide education to elementary school students.

The design used is "One Group Design Pretest-Posttest". Learning is measured before and after treatment. The population is only 25 students. So in the sample determination using only the experimental group alone without the control group (comparison), the subjects were selected without using randomosatio . Data collection is done by using the instruments mentioned above that are result of student's daily test and student's response / student questionnaire filling. The data collected will be analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The average score of students' IPS learning outcomes taught prior to the use of electronic LCD media (Pretest) Primary Schools was varied with an average learning outcome of 71.4% with a standard deviation of 7.788. While the mean score of IPS learning outcomes of students who were taught after (Posttest) use of electronic media LCD Primary School is varied also with the average learning outcome 78.84% with standard deviation of 7.949. Based on the discussion that has been described, it can be concluded that the results of IPS learning increased after applied the use of LCD electronic media on the learning process.

For older elementary school students, amicable peer relationships are important to meeting developmental challenges, such as socialization. Thus, in this study, the effectiveness of a school gardening program to promote positive social relationships among elementary school students was assessed. The participants in this study were fifth and sixth grade students from four elementary schools in Wonju, South Korea. The experimental and control groups consisted of 123 students each (total 246) from fifth and sixth grade classrooms. The gardening program included a range of activities, such as sowing seeds and harvesting produce, and was designed to improve peer status, peer relations, and sociality. The program was embedded in the school curriculum; sessions were 90 minutes per week for 10 weeks from 16 April through 25 June 2012. The results revealed the school gardening program brought about meaningful differences in both persistence of friendship (P = 0.04) and adaptability between friends (P = 0.03), which were subcategories of peer relationships, in the experimental group. There were also significant improvements in sociality (P < 0.001) and its various subcategories, especially in law-abiding (P < 0.001) and collaboration (P < 0.001). Finally, the peer status results showed that there was significantly a greater increase in the peer status after the school gardening program, but there was no significant change in the control group. In conclusion, the school gardening program for elementary school students had a positive influence on peer relationships, sociality, and peer status.
