“…The delayed start of research literature production in EHCS in regard to HICS might be based on the same fact (Norman and Skinner, 2006). Health informatics and eHealth are strongly associated with the IT; hence the positive trend in research literature production in both areas is most probably the consequence of rapid development of new technologies (Monea et al ., 2016).…”

Purpose The rapid development of eHealth requires the extension of existing health informatics competences sets. These competences are needed not only by health-care professionals but also by health-care consumers. The purpose of this paper is to analyse literature production of health informatics and eHealth competences/skills (EHCS). Design/methodology/approach Bibliometric analysis and mapping have been used as a form of distant reading approach in the manner to perform thematic analysis, identify gaps in knowledge and predict future trends. Findings This study shows that the literature production of health informatics and EHCS differs in bibliometric indicators, as well as in research content. Thematic analysis showed that medicine is the most productive subject area in both fields. However, health informatics competencies/skills are more oriented toward education, nursing, electronic health record and evidence-based practice, while EHCS cover health information technology, engineering, computer science and patient-centred care. The literature research production exhibits positive trend and is geographically widespread in both fields. Research limitations/implications The use of Scopus database might have led to different results if the authors had used Web of Science or Medline, because of the fact that different databases cover different lists of source titles. The authors used various search strings, and the most optimal one for their study; however, a different search string might result in slightly different outcomes. In addition, the thematic analysis has been performed on information source abstracts and titles only, as the analysis of full texts (if available) could lead to different results. Despite the fact that the thematic analysis has been performed by three researchers with different scientific backgrounds, the results of the analysis are subjective. On the other hand, the bibliometric analyses and comparison of health informatics and eHealth competences have never been done before and this study revealed some important gaps in research in both fields. Practical implications The World Health Organization defined four distinct but related components of eHealth: mobile health, health information systems, telemedicine and distance learning. While the research in telemedicine and health information systems seems to be well covered, the skills and competencies in mobile health and distant learning should be researched more extensively. Social implications More research in the skills and competencies associated with so-called connected health, a new subfield in eHealth research, is needed. The skills and competencies of how to better implement and use the services related to the management of chronic diseases, health coproduction and how to implement eHealth in developing countries are currently under research areas and with candidates for future research. For both health informatics competencies/skills and EHCS, we noted that more research is needed for personalised medicine, health coproduction, smart health, internet of things, internet of services and intelligent health systems. Originality/value The literature production on health informatics and EHCS has been analysed for the first time and been compared in a systemic way, using bibliometrics. The results reveal that current research directions as well as knowledge gaps could thus provide guidelines for further research.

“…Boustedt et al, 2020; Han & Park, 2017; Winnier et al, 2013).Lidah merupakan salah satu organ penting dalam rongga mulut yang seringkali luput dari kebiasaan membersihkan gigi dan mulut. Berdasarkan penelitian secara mikrobiologi, lidah merupakan tempat tinggal utama berbagai macam mikroba(Monea, 2014).Membersihkan lidah dengan menggunakan sikat maupun tongue scraper dapat mengurangi jumlah bakteri yang berperan dalam terjadinya halitosis, penyakit periodontal, serta terjadinya infeksi tenggorokan. Selain itu, dengan membersihkan lidah, juga dapat mengaktifkan kelenjar saliva yang sangat berperan dalam mencegah terjadinya karies gigi(Dwivedi et al, 2019; Hamid et al, 2011; Masago et al, 2020; Prijono E, Dewi W, 2007; R. Lipat et al, 2018; Widyastuti, 2021).…”

The dental and oral health care program takes the form of dental health care carried out directly and in a planned manner by Indonesian Dental and Oral Therapists (TGMI) either individually or in groups. This community service activity was carried out with the aim of empowering female students to increase their knowledge and skills regarding the correct way to brush their teeth using a tongue scraper. The method of this PkM (Community Service) activity is Education and Dental and Oral Health Examination for students at Makassar 30 State Junior High School and distributing questionnaires to students. As a result of the activity evaluation, there has been an increase in students' knowledge and skills after education and demonstrations regarding how to maintain dental health by brushing their teeth and using a tongue scraper correctly. Students who have good knowledge about how to maintain dental and oral health have increased and the number of students who are able to brush their teeth properly has increased and students are able to use a tongue scraper correctly too. Therefore, extension activities need to be held periodically to get optimal results.
