The aim of this study was to evaluate an infant oral health education programme, using a pre-post test design, for parents attending a paediatric clinic.
The subjects were parents attending the well baby appointments at 3, 6, and 9 months of age. The study participants were men and women, all with an infant between 3 and 12 months of age. A 16 question assessment in the form of a questionnaire was completed immediately before and after the introduction of a 30 min educational intervention in the form of a PowerPoint presentation and a video of infant oral hygiene for parents. The parents completed the questionnaire twice (pre-post test design) in the same visit. Recruited parents attended only one presentation. The presentation educated parents about infant oral health and provided anticipatory guidance.
Forty-seven parents or caretakers participated in the study. On the pre-test 28% had a score of 70% or less, and on the post-test 87% got a score of 88% or better. On the pre-test, 72% had a score of 70% or higher, and on the post-test 87% got a score of 88% or higher. Most parents (80%) reported that the presentation was helpful and indicated that the information would change the way they care for their baby's teeth at home.
This study demonstrated the effectiveness of a 30 min PowerPoint and Video presentation in improving the oral health knowledge of parents caring for an infant.
本研究旨在通过前后测试设计,评估儿科诊所家长参与的婴儿口腔健康教育计划。
研究对象为 3、6 和 9 个月龄时参加健康婴儿预约的父母。研究参与者为男性和女性,所有参与者的婴儿年龄在 3 至 12 个月之间。在介绍以幻灯片和婴儿口腔卫生录像形式进行的 30 分钟教育干预之前和之后,以问卷的形式完成了 16 个问题的评估。父母在同一次就诊中两次完成问卷(前后测试设计)。招募的父母只参加一次演讲。演讲内容为家长提供婴儿口腔健康知识和预期指导。
47 位家长或照顾者参与了这项研究。在预测试中,28%的人得分在 70%或以下,而在测试后,87%的人得分在 88%或以上。在预测试中,72%的人得分在 70%或以上,而在测试后,87%的人得分在 88%或以上。大多数家长(80%)表示演讲很有帮助,并表示这些信息将改变他们在家中照顾婴儿牙齿的方式。
本研究表明,30 分钟的幻灯片和视频演示可以有效提高照顾婴儿的家长的口腔健康知识。
