The Effects of Using Augmented Reality (AR) System to Train Foreign Care on Salivary Biomarker and Oral Function of the Elderly People

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional

• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of augmented reality (AR) system training intervention of foreign care workers on the salivary biomarker and oral function of older people. This randomized controlled trial included experimental group: AR group (EG-A) Video group (EG-B) and control group(CG), respectively. The EG-A will receive augmented reality (AR) system training intervention with AR tooth-cleaning skills session course add video-based oral hygiene education course . The EG-B receive video-based oral hygiene education course and The CG only receive only a leaflet.

Detailed description

A randomized experimental design was used. Female foreign care workers whose aged 21 to 65 years and by cared older peoples whose aged 65 to 75 years were recruited through community-based site of long-term care service in Kaohsiung city. Each group was expected for 12 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),masticatory efficiency (MoE) and salivary biomarker at baseline (Time 1), three months (Time 2) and six months (Time 3) follow-ups.

Conditions

• Oral Dryness and Saliva Altered
• Oral Manifestations
• Swallowing Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
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.
OTHER	video-based oral hygiene education course	50-minute video-based oral hygiene education course
