“…16 These results show that dental health education (DHE) can reduce the debris index so that students have started to know new information and learn to understand the new object, namely how to maintain dental and oral hygiene. 15 These results are in line with research conducted by Wang et al (2023) which shows that dental students have better knowledge, attitudes and oral health behavior compared to non-dental students. This research also found that oral health education can increase the frequency of brushing teeth and the use of dental floss in both groups of students .…”

Dental caries is an infectious disease resulting from the demineralization of enamel and dentin, closely linked to the consumption of cariogenic foods. Typically, children entering school age face a heightened risk of caries due to their inclination toward snacking on sweet foods and drinks. The implementation of Dental Health Education (DHE) plays a crucial role in enhancing students' comprehension of dental and oral health. Specifically, educating children on proper teeth-brushing techniques should include practical examples and applicable methods. This study aims to assess the impact of dental health education on the behavior and fecal index of students at SDN Mesjid Lheu in Aceh Besar District. Employing a quasi-experimental design, the research follows a control group equivalent to pre-test and post-test. The total population of 60 children was divided into two groups: the intervention group and the control group. Quantitative data analysis involved the paired sample t-test and the independent t-test. Significant differences were observed in the mean values of knowledge, attitudes, and actions, as well as the OHI-S scores immediately after and one month following the intervention between the treatment group and the control group (p<0.05). To reinforce children's dental health habits at home, it is advisable to involve parents in dental health education programs, as their information and resources are integral to providing support and monitoring.

“…Further analysis is needed to obtain this information in the future. Additionally, oral health literacy, including exercise habits and eating a balanced diet is related to oral health knowledge 25 . Therefore, our results are consistent with the findings of a previous study and provide useful information about raising awareness regarding oral frailty.…”

We aimed to investigate the relationship between the risk of oral frailty and awareness of oral frailty among Japanese adults in an adult dental health field study conducted in Kanagawa Prefecture. Questionnaire data from a total of 5051 individuals (1907 males, 3144 females; mean age; 59.9 years) were used. The risk of oral frailty was assessed using the Oral Frailty Index-8. Of the participants, 1418 (28.1%) had a high risk of oral frailty and 1495 (29.6%) had knowledge of oral frailty. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk of oral frailty was significantly associated with awareness of oral frailty. We further found that awareness of oral frailty was significantly related to gender (female), age (20–39 compared to 70–79, ≥ 80), residential areas (Yokohama compared to Kawasaki, Sagamihara), exercise habits (yes), eating a balanced diet (yes), consciousness of oral health (yes), risk of oral frailty (low) and outpatient category (hospital visit). For groups with low levels of awareness obtained from the results of this study, it is necessary to consider the means of accessibility and increase awareness further.

“…The field of information and communication technology (ICT) has experienced rapid expansion, and mobile phone apps are now frequently used not only as communication tools but also to assist with internet access, email, reminders, and other daily activities. It has been discovered that mobile phone app-assisted educational interventions are more effective than traditional ones [15]- [17]. The findings of the systematic investigations led to this conclusion.…”

The success of asthma self-management is determined by three essential factors: healthcare professionals, patients, and drugs. Regarding patient factors, the level of knowledge plays a role and leads to a positive attitude and behavior to prevent future attack relapse. This quasi-experimental study aimed to determine the effectiveness of a mobile phone app-assisted educational intervention in improving the quality of knowledge, attitude, and behavior among patients with asthma. The study included 140 participants who were divided into two groups, i.e., control and treatment. The treatment group received and installed the app into their smartphone and then was asked to study all the educational materials in the app for four weeks. A test was carried out before and after the intervention period to examine the effectiveness of the intervention. This study used the statistical program IBM® SPSS® Version 22.0 to analyze data, and a parametric statistical test was utilized to test the statistical hypothesis in this investigation. The study found improvement, as many as 87.14% for knowledge, 77.14% for attitude, and 67.15% for behavior, with a p-value each of 0.01. It could be concluded that digital-based patient education using a mobile app improves the patients' knowledge, attitude, and behavior.
