"World Health Organization (WHO) tahun 2003 menyatakan bahwa prevalensi karies gigi anak usia 3–6 tahun sebesar 60-90%. Perilaku ibu dalam memelihara kesehatan gigi mempengaruhi kesehatan gigi anak. Tujuan pembuatan skripsi ini adalah untuk mengetahui peran video terhadap peningkatan perilaku ibu dalam menyikat gigi anak. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mengedukasi ibu dengan video, ibu mengisi tabel evaluasi menyikat gigi, pemeriksaan gigi anak, dan mengevaluasi hasil edukasi. Terjadi peningkatan bermakna (p<0,05) perilaku ibu dalam menyikat gigi anak (57,8 %), penurunan bermakna (p<0,05) indeks plak (75,6 %) dan skor kematangan plak (57,8%). Video berpotensi efektif untuk meningkatkan perilaku ibu dalam menyikat gigi anak.

Background: Oral health is one thing that needs to be considered in children with hearing impairments. To increase independence in maintaining oral and dental health, an effective dental health education method is needed. The aim of the study was to test education with video and interactive games method on the increase of oral health knowledge, attitudes and practices of children with hearing disabilities.

Method: 40 children with hearing disabilities in a special school were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 received a one-way educational intervention by showing video with sign language and group 2 received an interactive educational intervention by playing cards game. Oral health knowledge, attitudes practices of children with hearing disabilities were assessed by a Knowledge-Attitude-Practice questionnaire, and oral hygiene status was assessed by the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) index before and after the intervention was carried out.

Results: There were significant results in increasing attitudes and practices in the video group, and significant results in increasing knowledge, attitudes, practices and decreasing OHI-S scores in the interactive card game group after 1 month interval.

Conclusion: Both type of interventions can be used as educational methods for children with hearing disabilities. Interactive education is more significant in increasing knowledge, attitudes, dental and oral health practices and decreasing OHI-S scores."

"Media diperlukan untuk membantu proses pembelajaran. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengetahui efek penggunaan aplikasi DHESTA dan flipchart sebagai media edukasi dilihat dari peningkatan dan retensi pengetahuan. Pada 30 siswa SD N Menteng 01 dan 30 siswa SD N Menteng 02 diberi tes pra perlakuan menggunakan kuesioner kemudian tiap kelompok diberi edukasi menggunakan media yang berbeda. Tes paska perlakuan dilakukan 20 menit, 1 hari, 6 hari, dan 14 hari setelah perlakuan. Hasil menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan bermakna peningkatan pengetahuan (p = 0,000) dan penurunan retensi pengetahuan (p = 0,05) pada kedua kelompok. Aplikasi DHESTA menghasilkan peningkatan pengetahuan yang lebih rendah namun retensi pengetahuan yang dihasilkan lebih baik daripada flipchart.

"Latar belakang : Trauma gigi pada kalangan anak-anak sering terjadi di sekolah dengan prevalensi 1 dari 14 murid menderita injuri di sekolah setiap tahunnya. Strategi perawatan dan pertolongan pertama yang tepat dapat menentukan prognosis gigi yang terkena trauma. Guru merupakan wali orang tua di sekolah yang dapat berperan dalam kasus trauma gigi yang terjadi di sekolah. Berdasarkan literatur, pengetahuan guru masih kurang mengenai trauma gigi anak. Sikap dan pengetahuan seseorang dapat dipengaruhi faktor internal dan eksternal seperti atribut fisiologis berupa jenis kelamin, pengalaman, dan pekerjaan. Studi mengenai pengukuran sikap dan pengetahuan guru mengenai trauma gigi anak menggunakan kuesioner telah banyak dilakukan dengan populasi berbeda-beda. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalis hubungan jenis kelamin, lama pengalaman mengajar, dan bidang studi terhadap sikap dan pengetahuan guru sekolah dasar mengenai trauma gigi anak berdasarkan populasi di Indonesia. Metode Penelitian : Desain penelitian ini adalah analitik korelasi. Sebanyak 90 guru sekolah dasar negeri (SDN) dari 14 SDN di Jakarta Pusat yang dipilih secara acak untuk mengisi kuesioner. Data dianalisis dengan uji korelasi Kendall.

Introduction: Children with Down Syndrome are developmentally delayed particularly in cognitive ability, and it affects their oral health knowledge. An edutainment method can be used as special approach to educate them regarding the oral health knowledge, using the busy book. Down syndrome children has strength in visual memory, therefore the busy book has been customized for Down syndrome children to help them in learning the DHE.

Methods: This experimental clinical study included 30 Down Syndrome children (aged 8-13); 15 children had DHE using busy book (experiment group) and 15 children (control group) had conventional verbal DHE. The study was conducted in 7 special primary schools in Jakarta and POTADS foundation. This age range was chosen after adjustment of mental age of children without Down Syndrome. The scores of the dental health knowledge of children in experiment and control group were analysed and their differences measured using independent T-test (with p value <0.05)

Results: There is a statistically significant difference between delta score of dental health knowledge after DHE using busy book and after conventional verbal DHE (P<.05).

Conclusion: Busy book appears to be an effective learning tool for dental health education in Down Syndrome children."
