“…Overall, education plays a crucial role in promoting oral health through improved knowledge, access to resources, and behavioral changes. 64,65 The use of fluoride toothpaste was found in the majority of respondents (85%). Fluoride has three mechanisms for controlling dental caries, namely enhancing remineralization, inhibiting demineralization, and inhibiting glycolysis in cariogenic bacteria.…”

Introduction: The governments globally, including in Indonesia, aimed to return to pre-pandemic conditions via widespread vaccination. Indonesia mandated full and booster doses. The pandemic had impacted oral health, leading to increased stress and difficulties in oral cavity checks. This study investigated the link between dental/oral health and confidence in Medan City post-COVID-19 booster vaccination. Methods: The study was a descriptive correlational research on oral health's connection to confidence among Medan City residents who had received a COVID-19 vaccine booster. It employed non-probability sampling with convenience samples. The respondents were individuals who completed an online Google Form questionnaire. The research took place from May to June 2023, and the relationship between dental/oral health and confidence was analyzed using the Spearman correlation test. Results: The gathered data that met the population criteria consisted of 460 individuals. 412 (89.6%) individuals were categorized as having good oral health, while 448 (97%) were categorized as having good self-confidence. There was a positive and moderate correlation between oral health and self-confidence in the people of Medan City after receiving the COVID-19 booster vaccine, with a Spearman correlation coefficient of p=0.363. There was a positive correlation between oral health and self-confidence in the people of Medan city after receiving the COVID-19 booster vaccine. Conclusion: The relationship between oral health and confidence in health of Medan City residents after the COVID-19 booster vaccination based on this study was a positive correlation with moderate strength.KEY WORDS: dental health, community, confidence, post vaccination, COVID-19, booster.Hubungan kesehatan gigi dan mulut dengan kepercayaan diri masyarakat kota medan pasca vaksin COVID-19 taraf booster: studi deskriptifABSTRAK Pendahuluan: Pemerintah secara global, termasuk di Indonesia, bertujuan untuk kembali ke kondisi sebelum pandemi melalui vaksinasi massal.

“…Evidence suggests that e-learning courses in oral health education can improve non-dental students’ knowledge and health behaviours in a study of dental and non-dental youth [ 24 ]. Although it is clear that oral health education can improve oral health knowledge attitudes and practice, teaching methods are often videos, instruction and group discussions, and there is not yet much research for adults on the use of web and e-learning [ 25 , 26 ]. However, considering the results of our study and previous web and e-learning education results for young people, oral health e-learning programmes certainly have the potential to improve oral health behaviour.…”

Background This study aimed to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an oral health self-care e-learning intervention for overseas workers as well as the research procedures for a future controlled trial. Methods We randomly allocated participants to either the intervention (n = 48) or control (n = 51) group. The intervention group received a standardized leaflet plus a theory-based oral health e-learning program. The control group received only the standardized leaflet. We assessed health behaviour related to fluoride toothpaste use, oral care knowledge, motivation, oral care self-efficacy, and oral health related quality of life (QoL). Chi-square and t test analyses were performed to make comparisons between the two groups. To evaluate the research process, participants in the intervention group were asked open-ended questions to assess the acceptability and feasibility of the research procedures in practice. Results A total of 82 participants (Intervention = 36, Control = 46) were included in the analysis. The dropout rate was 17.2%. The modal time taken to complete the e-learning intervention was more than 30 min (33.3%). Of the 36 respondents in the intervention group, 27 (70.4%) said that the e-learning intervention had changed their behaviour. At the three months follow-up, oral care knowledge alone was improved in the e-learning group. Conclusion This pilot study provides evidence that the theory-based self-care for oral health e-learning intervention is feasible in overseas workers. Next, this feasible and acceptable pilot study should be used with an appropriate sample size in a randomized controlled trial. Trial registration The trial protocol was registered with UMIN-CTR (ID: UMIN000045883) on 27/10/2021.

“…As most non-communicable diseases, oral diseases are largely preventable. Higher standards in oral hygiene can be achieved through education, teaching, motivation, oral hygiene instructions, and improving people’s skills and attitudes toward their oral health ( 6 ). Indeed, patients play an active role on their own health and responsibility, and compliance is crucial ( 7 ).…”

BackgroundOral health is a fundamental human right and is inseparable and indivisible from overall health and well-being. Oral Health Literacy (OHL) has been proved to be fundamental to promoting oral health and reducing oral health inequalities. To our knowledge, no OHL instrument to evaluate OHL level is currently validated in French language despite the fact it is the fifth most widely spoken languages on the planet. The Oral health literacy Instrument (OHLI) appears to be the most interesting OHL instrument to adapt into French because it is already available in English, Spanish, Russian, Malaysian, and it contains both reading comprehension and numeracy sections. Its psychometric properties have been rated as adequate.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to translate and adapt cross-culturally the OHLI into French, to evaluate its psychometric properties and to compare its results to oral health knowledge.MethodThis study followed and applied well-established processes of translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation, based on the recommendations of the World Health Organization guidelines and on the Consensus-Based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) study design checklist for patient-reported outcomes. Two psychometric assessments were planned, the comparison of OHLI-F scores according to education level and frequency of dental visits, and the test–retest reliability of the OHLI-F.ResultsA total of 284 participants answered the OHLI-F. The OHLI-F scores were significantly different between participants with different levels of education and frequency of dental visits (p < 0.001). Participants with an education level lower than the baccalaureate, and those who never visit the dentist or only in case of pain, had significantly lower OHLI-F scores. Internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.881–0.914). Test–retest reliability was very high (intraclass correlation = 0.985 to 0.996).ConclusionThe OHLI-F has demonstrated adequate psychometric properties and can therefore be used to measure oral health literacy in French-speaking populations.
