Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of augmented reality (AR) simulation training intervention of foreign care workers on the oral function of older people.

This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AR group (EG) and control group(CG), respectively. The EG will receive augmented reality (AR) simulation training intervention with traditional classroom oral health education. The CG only receive traditional classroom oral health education.

Clinical Trial Description

A randomized experimental design was used. foreign care workers whose aged 21 to 65 years and by cared older peoples whose aged 65 to 75 years were recruited through community C site in Kaohsiung city. Each group was expected for 80 care workers and by cared older peoples who each group. G*Power (version 3.1.9.4) was used for power analysis.

Older people by cared will assess plaque control record (PCR), tongue coating index (TCI), repetitive saliva swallowing test (RSST), oral diadochokinetic (DDK), oral moisture degree (OMD), and masticatory efficiency (MoE) at baseline (Time 1), three months (Time 2) and six months (Time 3) follow-ups. ;
