An oral hygiene board game was designed as an intervention tool and applied to explore the effectiveness for the oral health related knowledge (OHK) score and plaque index (PI) of adults with intellectual disability (ID). This one-group pre/post-test design study was conducted in a residential long-term care facility for 42 participants. The study had one pre-test (baseline) and three post-tests evaluated in both control and intervention stages, respectively. The participants participated in a 60-min oral hygiene board game twice a week during the intervention stage. Total OHK score and PI of the participants were recorded to determine the effectiveness of intervention. There were no differences in OHK score and PI between the two stages at baseline. The results in intervention stage demonstrated a significant gradual increase and reduction in the OHK score when compared with the control stage. A statistically significant improvement in the OHK score and PI (42.29% and -33.28%, respectively) at the end of intervention between two stages was recorded. This study proved a board game is deemed an effective education method applicable to promote the OHK and skills of ID adults.
设计了一款口腔卫生棋盘游戏作为干预工具，用于探索其对智障成年人（ID）的口腔健康相关知识（OHK）评分和菌斑指数（PI）的有效性。这项单组前后测试设计的研究在一个住宅长期护理机构中进行，共有 42 名参与者。研究有一次预测试（基线）和三次后测试，分别在对照和干预阶段进行评估。参与者在干预阶段每周参与两次时长为 60 分钟的口腔卫生棋盘游戏。记录参与者的总 OHK 评分和 PI，以确定干预的效果。在基线时，两个阶段的 OHK 评分和 PI 没有差异。干预阶段的结果表明，与对照阶段相比，OHK 评分呈显著逐渐增加和减少趋势。记录到干预结束时两个阶段之间 OHK 评分和 PI 的统计学显著改善（分别为 42.29%和-33.28%）。这项研究证明，棋盘游戏是一种有效的教育方法，适用于提高 ID 成年人的 OHK 和技能。
