(1) Purpose: In modern society, augmented reality (AR)-based training using a smart device has emerged as a means of resolving problems with training. Thus, this feasibility study aimed to identify the effects of tooth-brushing training, based on AR using a smart toothbrush, on oral hygiene care among people with an intellectual disability in Korea. (2) Methods: Thirty people with an intellectual disability, residing in a residential care facility, were selected. Tooth-brushing training based on AR, using a smart toothbrush, was applied in the experimental group ( = 15), and training using visual material was applied in the control group ( = 15). As an assessment of oral hygiene care, the changes in tooth-brushing performance and oral hygiene were measured. (3) Results: There were significant differences in all results after training between the two groups. (4) Conclusions: Tooth-brushing training based on AR using a smart toothbrush is more effective than training using visual material on oral hygiene care among the subjects of this feasibility study. Thus, training based on AR using a smart toothbrush could be applied to people with intellectual disabilities residing in residential care facilities as an individual tool for tooth-brushing training.
(1) 目的:在现代社会,基于增强现实(AR)的智能设备训练已成为解决训练问题的一种方式。因此,本可行性研究旨在确定基于智能牙刷的AR刷牙训练对韩国智障人士口腔卫生护理的影响。(2) 方法:选取30名居住在寄宿照料机构的智障人士。实验组(n = 15)采用基于AR的智能牙刷刷牙训练,对照组(n = 15)采用视觉材料进行训练。作为口腔卫生护理的评估,测量刷牙表现和口腔卫生的变化。(3) 结果:两组训练后的所有结果均存在显著差异。(4) 结论:在本可行性研究中,基于智能牙刷的AR刷牙训练在口腔卫生护理方面比使用视觉材料的训练更有效。因此,基于智能牙刷的AR训练可作为一种个体刷牙训练工具应用于居住在寄宿照料机构的智障人士。
