Abstract (1736 Views)
Aims: This study aimed to investigate the impact of dental health education interventions using animation and leaflets on children's dental health behaviors.
Materials & Methods: The research employed a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test groups, including a control group in 2021 in Indonesia. A sample of 60 elementary school students, aged 10-12 years, from Medan City, was divided into three groups of 20 students each. The interventions included media animation and leaflets, while the control group received traditional oral presentations. Behavioral changes were evaluated using three parameters of knowledge, attitudes, and actions through a questionnaire. The effectiveness of the interventions was assessed using univariate and covariance analysis.
Findings: The behavior scores were highest in the Animation group, with a mean of 52.00±4.54. In contrast, the Oral Presentation group (serving as the control group) had the lowest mean score of 46.90±6.42. The Leaflets group had an intermediate effect, with a mean score of 48.15±5.52. Across all groups, the total mean behavior score was 49.02±5.88.
Conclusion: Dental education using animation is the most effective manner in increasing dental care behavior among leaflets and oral presentations.
