“…This notion is supported by earlier findings of Glavind et al (1985) showing that an additional improvement in the oral cleanliness occurred in patients who had responded inadequately to oral hygiene self-instruction when they were given personal oral hygiene instruction. Similarily, Radentz et al (1975) observed that the dental flossing proficiency of periodontal patients was improved when a television-tape instruction was reinforced by personal instruction 1 week later. Thus, personal instruction seems to possess qualities which the televisiontape shown does not have.…”

“…Television-tape demonstration is another substitute for personal oral hygiene instruction which Radentz et al (1973) found to be equally effective in improving dental flossing proficiency as personal chair-side instruction. Combinations of different instructional modalities such as television shows, slide-tape shows, self-teaching programs and personal chair-side instruction have given successful results (Gjermo 1972, Vande Vorde 1972, Radentz et al 1975, Glavind et al 1985, although Shiller & Dittmer (1968) failed to observe that the effect of oral hygiene instruction was improved by showing a movie designed to motivate for proper oral home care.…”

The effect of using a television-tape demonstration in order to reinforce the advice given in a self-teaching oral hygiene program was evaluated in the present study. The teeth of 24 periodontal patients were scaled and 2 weeks later oral hygiene instruction was given by handling out a self-teaching manual. The patients were divided into 2 groups, matched with regard to the initial status of oral cleanliness. An experimental group (TV) comprising 12 patients who, 1 week after the instruction, were shown a demonstration of proper oral hygiene technique on closed circuit television and a control group of 12 patients who did not receive this reinforcement. The presence or absence of dento-gingival plaque and gingival bleeding by gentle probing was recorded initially and after 8 weeks on 4 surfaces of all teeth. In addition, plaque scores were recorded at 2 and 3 weeks to assess the effect of the oral hygiene self-instruction. At the final examination after 8 weeks, the patients with plaque on more than 20% of the tooth surfaces were subjected to a tooth cleaning test including a subsequent scoring of remaining plaque. The patients in the experimental group (TV) were asked their opinion regarding the television-tape demonstration. Although the patients in the experimental group expressed a positive opinion about viewing the television-tape demonstration, the improvement in the plaque and gingival bleeding scores recorded at the 8-week examination showed no difference between the 2 groups of patients. Similarly, the scoring of plaque after the tooth cleaning test showed no difference between the 2 groups.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

LHWs show promising benefits in promoting immunisation uptake and improving outcomes for acute respiratory infections and malaria, when compared to usual care. For other health issues, evidence is insufficient to justify recommendations for policy and practice. There is also insufficient evidence to assess which LHW training or intervention strategies are likely to be most effective. Further research is needed in these areas.
