Most of Indonesians suffer from dental caries. This is due to bad dental health maintenance. Although in fact, dental caries is a preventable disease. Dental and oral hygiene that is not maintained will cause various dental diseases that will affect general health, although it does not cause death directly, but is also a risk factor for other diseases including: tonsillitis, pharyngitis, otitis media, low birth weight (LBW) , and even heart disease. We undertook this research by evaluating the influence of dental health care towards elementary school children. The subjects are fifth grade in SD Saraswati 4 Denpasar, Indonesia. There are control and intervention groups in this research. The treatment for control group was given leaflet and intervention group was given dental health care with the provision of dental therapist. We evaluate the influence on knowledge, attitude, practice and Debris Index score. The analysis using bivariate test employed Wilcoxon test and univariate test employed Mann-Whitney test. The results show that in intervention group, there is influence of dental health care on knowledge, attitude, practice and Debris Index score of the students. Meanwhile in control group, there is influence on knowledge and attitude but no influence on practice and Debris Index score. Mann-Whitney test shows that there are significant differences in knowledge and attitude, but no significant practice and Debris Index score in intervention and control group. The Debris Index criteria of the intervention group are 100% good with the treatment of dental health care.

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.

Knowledge And Attitude

Abstract : The study aimed to determine the correlation among knowledge and attitude with the behavior of pregnant women in dental and oral health care during pregnancy. The research was analytic observational and in terms of time used crossectional approach. The population in this study were pregnant women at Narmada Community Health Center whereas the sample obtained by 34 people who came to check Antenatal Care (ANC) in June 2015 taken by accidental sampling technique. Data collection of knowledge, attitude and behavior variables used questionnaire and Statistical analysis was performed by using Chi Square test. The research finding indicated that from 34 respondents, 17 pregnant women (50%) had lack knowledge level about oral and dental health care during pregnancy. The attitude of pregnant women in dental and oral care during pregnancy was 73.5% (poor attitudes), and in terms of respondents’ behaviour was the same like respondents’ attitude by 73.5% (poor attitude). Therefore, it can be concluded that there was a significant correlation between knowledge with pregnant women behavior in dental and oral health care (P value = 0.013) and there was significant correlation between attitude with respondents behaviour in oral and dental care during pregnancy (P value = 0.004). Suggestion: It is expected for Health Care Institutions and health workers need to do an effort of sustainable counselling to communities, especially pregnant women about risk factors that can cause dental caries which can affect the health of both fetus and mother, increasing promotive efforts, for instance the improvement and maintenance of health and preventive efforts for communnities and pregnant women in order to have a good knowledge and attitude in maintaining oral an dental health care during pregnancy can be preserved and further enhanced, hence the sense of responsibility in terms of a behavior in the community or pregnant women concerning dental and oral health increases in line with knowledge improvement and developing attitudes.

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.
