Abstract:
Objective:To explore the effectiveness of teach-back method-based health education in patients with oral fungal infections.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select patients with oral fungal infections who attended the Dental Clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June to December 2023 for the study. The patients were divided into control group and observation group according to the randomized numerical table method. Control group received conventional oral care health education, and observation group was treated with the teach-back method-based health education. Treatment adherence, oral health self-management ability, and oral health were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention. Finally, 62 patients were included in control group and 59 patients in observation group.Results:After the intervention, the treatment adherence score and the oral health care knowledge, oral health care attitude, oral health care behavior scores and total scores of oral health self-management ability in observation group were higher than those of control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After the intervention, the Chinese version of the Oral Health Impact Profile-49 (OHIP-49) of observation group was lower than that of control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The teach-back method-based health education improves adherence, enhances self-management, and promotes oral health in patients with oral fungal infections.
