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.


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. All foreign care workers whose participants will underwent questionnaire examination at baseline and at 1-month, 3-month, 6-month follow-ups. The information of foreign care workers regarding oral care cognition, attitude, self-efficacy, and oral care behavior intention will be collected by a self-report questionnaire before and after intervention. Each by cared older peoples will be evaluation oral hygiene and function by oral hygienist, and will completed the questionnaire at baseline and at 1-month, 3-month and 6-month follow-up. 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.

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
oral care augmented reality (AR)
Augmented reality (AR) is an extension of perceptible reality, whereby additional information, such as texts or virtual objects, can be displayed in the user's field of vision.The oral care augmented reality (AR) simulation training can train foreign care workers by switching languages (Indonesian) and therefore reduce language-related learning barriers.
