Effectiveness of educational video in improving oral hygiene in preschool students

Introduction: In recent years, attention has been drawn toward assessing the effectiveness of an oral health education program, especially for preschool students, in order to improve oral hygiene status. There is a difference in the level of ability and learning methods based on age. For early childhood, they tend to imitate the things they see, both people and multimedia images. This research was aimed to analyse the effectiveness of educational video in improving oral hygiene level in preschool students. Methods: This type of research was quasi-experimental with one group pretest-posttest design. The sampling method was the total sampling and obtained 40 subjects. The research population was all students in Al Azhar Kindergarten aged 4-6 years and met the inclusion criteria. Greene and Vermilion Plaque Index was applied to measure the oral hygiene status of each subject before and after the intervention with educational video. The intervention consisted of four meetings; each meeting consisted of before and after plaque index measurement and also after watching the educational video. Data were analysed using t-paired statistical analysis. Results: The result showed a comparison of difference of the plaque index value change on the day I with day VII, which obtained the t-value = 3.365, higher than the t-table = 2.02. Conclusion: Educational video is effective in improving oral hygiene in preschool students by reducing the plaque accumulation.

The Difference

Irrational use or misuse of antibiotics, particularly by outpatients, increases antibiotic resistance. A lack of public knowledge about ‘Responsible use of antibiotics’ and ‘How to obtain antibiotics’ is a major cause of this. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an educational video about antibiotics and antibiotics use to increase outpatient's knowledge in two public hospitals in East Java, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental research setting was used with a one-group pretest-posttest design, carried out from November 2018 to January 2019. The study population consisted of outpatients, to whom antibiotics were prescribed, in two public hospitals in East Java, Indonesia. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique; 98 outpatients at MZ General Hospital in S regency and 96 at SG General Hospital in L regency were included. A questionnaire was used to measure the respondents’ knowledge and consisted of five domains, i.e. definition of infections and antibiotics, obtaining the antibiotics, directions of use, storage instructions, antibiotic resistance. The knowledge test score was the total score of the Guttman scale (a dichotomy of ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers). To determine the significance of the difference in knowledge before and after providing the educational video and in the knowledge score between hospitals, the (paired) Student’s t-test was applied. The educational videos significantly improved outpatients' knowledge, which increased with 41% in MZ General Hospital and 42% in SG General Hospital. An educational video is a useful method to improve the knowledge of the outpatients regarding antibiotics.
