Adolescents are involved in one of the vulnerable groups to have dental and oral health problems, including dental caries and gum disease. If such problems are not treated well, they can interfere with the welfare of adolescents, which can further impact the overall quality of life of adolescents in everyday life. This study aims to determine differences in OHRQoL by gender, age, and grade among adoelscents at Islamic schools in Banjarmasin City. This was an analytical study with cross sectional design. A total of 170 study subjects participated in this study. The study variables were collected online via google form. The results of the Independent t-test showed that there was a difference in OHRQoL by gender (p-value of 0.016 ≤ α 0.05). On the other hand, the results of the One Way Anova test showed no difference in OHRQoL by age (p-value of 0.684 > α 0.05) and grade (p-value of 0.746 > α 0.05). In conclusion, OHRQoL by gender was found to be better in males than females. However, there was no difference in OHRQoL by age and grade.

Abstract

Learning media is expected to enhance students' interest in learning. This research aims to investigate the impact of instructional videos on the level of oral hygiene knowledge. The research methodology employed in this study is Quasi-Experimental, utilizing a quantitative design with pre-test and post-test approaches. Purposive sampling was employed as the sampling technique. The analysis, conducted using the Paired T-Test, yielded a ρ-value of 0.000 (ρ < 0.05), indicating a significant change in the mean knowledge scores before and after the educational intervention using oral hygiene instructional videos. One alternative approach to dental health education, particularly in tooth brushing, is through the use of videos. Using videos is more effective as it facilitates easier retention and understanding of lessons, transcending reliance on a single sensory input. It is anticipated that future research can develop applications related to accessing oral hygiene instructional videos.
