Intervention

Behavioral:
• Educational video
The patient was asked to execute the technique used daily oral hygiene that, with the sequence, movements and technical procedures for its implementation evaluated and recorded an instrument to analyze the steps of oral hygiene. Subsequently, patients watched the video prepared individually in the ward where they were interned. After this step, the patient demonstrated again the procedure for oral hygiene. At this point the researcher also observed the sequence, movements and technical procedures used to analyze the steps of oral hygiene, using the same instrument for such employee initially.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Video as a teaching strategy	Evaluate the use of video as a teaching strategy of oral hygiene for patients undergoing chemotherapy.; The subjects were asked to assign a note about the importance of oral hygiene on a scale of zero to 10.	18/11/2011 to 30/06/2012	Yes
Secondary	Oral hygiene before (initial performance) and after (final performance) exposure to an educational	Assess the steps taken by the subjects to oral hygiene before (initial performance) and after (final performance) exposure to an educational video on oral hygiene. The subjects were assessed for scores of hits in 15 steps related to the process of oral hygiene before and after the presentation of educational video. he steps are related to the amount of cream dents, tilt the brush, brushing locations, movements employees, number of repetitions, use of dental floss, mouthwash, among others. Eg: P1 - applied a small amount of toothpaste on the brush; P2 - put the brush bristles inclined in place, between the gum and the tooth, put the brush bristles inclined in place, between the gum and the tooth; P3 - brushed the upper arch with sweeping movements towards the top down; P4 - brushed with the lower jaw movements sweep from top to bottom; P5 - brushed the inside of the teeth gum toward the tip of the tooth, using the movement "sweep "...	18/11/2011 to 30/06/2012	Yes
Secondary	Effect of an educational video	To investigate the effect of an educational video on oral hygiene in this clientele.; As for settling scores of the 15 items assessed (maximum score 15) in the implementation of oral hygiene procedure, the subjects had an average initial phase in the other end. We used the t test "Student" test to detect differences between these averages	18/11/2011 to 30/06/2012	Yes
Secondary	Acceptance of the teaching method	Identify patient acceptance of the teaching method employed. When the relevance of experience to learn by watching the video, subjects were asked to assign a grade on a scale of zero to 10. From this note will be calculated averages and standard deviation.	18/11/2011 to 30/06/2012	Yes
