Power Point

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.

Psychophysiological Stress

This research investigates whether a short mindfulness exercise can reduce children’s psychophysiological stress reactions in the face of a performance task. To answer the question, a randomized controlled trial with 106 elementary school children, aged between 5 and 11 years, was conducted. An intervention group completed a two-minute breathing exercise, whilst a comparison group watched a short video, before both groups performed a stress-evoking Stroop test. The stress levels of both groups were measured via galvanic skin response and compared. It was hypothesized that the comparison group would show a higher stress reaction during the stress-evoking task than the intervention group. Contrary to the hypothesis, results show that the intervention group had a higher psychophysiological stress reaction during the task than the comparison group. However, the stress reaction to the announced difficulty of the task was smaller in the mindfulness group than in the comparison group. Results are discussed based on different theoretical mechanisms of mindfulness. Directions for future research include the use of different techniques and durations of mindfulness interventions, different control group activities and stress-test operationalizations, as well as the distinction between age groups.

Nutrition Counseling

Several studies have suggested that applying patterns of consumption of vegetables and fruit since children will positively contribute to vegetable and fruit intake through adolescence and adulthood. Therefore, efforts to increase vegetable and fruit intake since childhood urgent. Azria and Husnah's research results (2016) show that there is an influence of counseling on behavioral changes about balanced nutrition in infants. The results of Afif and Sumarmi (2017) research also show that there is a relationship between the role of mothers as educators with consumption of fruit vegetables in children associated with the supply of vegetables and fruit at home.  The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of nutrition counseling on lecture and discussion methods on mother's knowledge of vegetable and fruit intake in elementary school children in Mamuju Regency. This type of research is experimental. This research was conducted at 001 Mamuju Public Elementary School as the location of the control group and Rimuku Inpres Elementary School as the location of the intervention group. The sample was divided into two groups, the first group as an intervention group was given lecture nutrition counseling accompanied by discussion while the second group as a control group was given lecture counseling counseling without discussion of mothers of elementary school children. The number of samples were 30 control groups and 30 intervention groups so that the total sample was 60 people. The results showed that there was an influence of lecture nutrition counseling accompanied by a discussion of mother's knowledge about vegetable and fruit intake in elementary school children (p <0.05).  It is expected that nutrition counseling is carried out through lecture methods accompanied by discussions to increase mothers' knowledge about vegetable and fruit intake in elementary school children.

Background: Oral health has been promoted in elementary school. Oral health status is worsening among children aged 12 in Indonesia. Schools are an ideal social environment where dental health promotion strategies could be implemented to improve children’s oral health and to develop lasting good oral health behavior. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the association of sex, age, oral health behavior (tooth brushing practice, eating sweets and snacks, and routine dental health care visit) and family support, with oral health status among elementary school-children. Method: A school-based survey was carried out in 45 public elementary schools served by15 community health centers in Sleman, Yogyakarta. All fifth grade students (a total of 1191 students) in the schools were recruited as study participants after informed consent being given to parents. Questionnaires on health behavior and family support were administered to students, and examinations for OHIS and DMF-T were conducted by trained research assistants. Regression analyses (with R) were performed to identify whether sex, age, oral health behavior, family support and schools were significant determinants of oral health. Result: Females had higher DMF-T compared to males (1.93 vs 1.56), older children showed higher DMF-T. Effects oral health behavior and family support on OHIS and DMF-T were not significant after adjusting for school. School was significantly associated with OHIS and DMF-T. Conclusion: Sex and age were determinants of DMF-T. Oral health behavior and family support were not associated with OHIS and DMF-T. School was a consistent predictor of OHIS and DMF-T. School-based programs, especially targeted to certain schools with worse oral health, should be strengthened.

BACKGROUND: Overall body health is influenced a lot by teeth and mouth. Dental health education in schools through total quality management (TQM) is a non-formal education system for school communities by learning by doing to change their behavior from being less profitable to be beneficial for their oral health. AIM: This study aims to analyze the effect of dental health education with a TQM approach on the behavior of dental and oral health management, and the status of the oral hygiene index simplified (OHIS) in elementary school students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The design of that project was a quasi-experimental design with a pre-post-test design with a control group design. The number of study population was 80 children that were selected. The sample was divided into two groups, the intervention group consisted of 40 children who were given intervention (dental health education with TQM approach) and the control group consisted of 40 children who were not given intervention. Data analysis used univariable, bivariable, and multivariate using paired samples t-test and independent t-test. RESULTS: The statistical findings showed that there were differences in behavior and oral hygiene status after dental health education through the TQM approach to students (p < 0.05). There was an effect of dental health education through the TQM approach on OHIS status (p <0.05). Dental health education using the TQM approach influenced changes in behavior and OHI-S status (p = 0.001). The finding of the analysis showed that in the intervention group, there were differences in the average behavior and oral hygiene status from pre-test to post-test I (p = 0.001). However, there was no difference between post 1 and post-test II (p = 1.00). In the intervention group, there was a difference in this status from pre-test to post-test 1 (p = 0.001). While in the control group, there was no difference in the average behavior from pre-test to post-test I and from post-test I to post-test II. There was a difference in the mean OHIS status from pre-test to post-test 1 and from post-test 1 to post-test 2 in the intervention group and the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Dental health education using the TQM approach has influenced changes in behavior and OHIS status of elementary school students in central Aceh districts.

Abstract The study compared the effectiveness of three teaching methods on the oral health status of high school children. The study population of 791 school children selected from three different schools was randomly allocated to one of three intervention groups: (i) Webinar group (Online presentation)—260 subjects, (ii) Face to Face lecture using PowerPoint presentation (F2F PP group)—261 subjects and (iii) Control group (Only lecture)—270 subjects. Subjects from the Webinar group and F2F PP group received oral health education at an interval of 15 days starting from baseline. Subjects from the control group received oral health education only at baseline. Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) and Gingival Index (GI) were measured at baseline, at 1 month, 2 months’ and 3 months’ interval. OHI and GI showed a significant reduction (P = 0.001) in the Webinar group and F2F PP group; However, in the control group, OHI and GI reduced from baseline till second month and showed an increase at 3 months’ interval. F2F PP group showed a maximum reduction in OHI and GI followed by the Webinar group. It can be concluded that F2F PowerPoint-based oral health education was most effective followed by the webinar method.
