The Effectiveness of Health Education Using Video Media on Tooth Brushing Skills of Preschool Children at Nur Handayani Kindergarten, Telaga Biru District
Abstract
Dental and oral health issues, particularly dental caries, remain a significant health problem in preschool-aged children. Poor independent and correct tooth-brushing skills increase the risk of tooth decay. One effective way to improve tooth-brushing skills is through health education using interactive video media. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using video media on improving tooth-brushing skills in preschool-aged children at Nur Handayani Kindergarten, Telaga Biru District. The study design used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest method. The subjects were 41 children aged 5-6 years. Health education was provided through interactive video media for 30-60 minutes. Data collection was conducted through observations before and after the intervention. Data analysis used the non-parametric Wilcoxon statistical test due to the non-normal distribution of the data. Before the intervention, the majority of respondents (78%) had poor tooth-brushing skills. After the provision of health education using video media, there was a significant increase, with the proportion of good categories reaching 46.3% and sufficient categories reaching 48.8%. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), proving that the intervention had a statistically significant effect on improving tooth-brushing skills. Health education using video media effectively improved tooth-brushing skills in preschool-aged children. Interactive video media captured children's attention and facilitated their understanding of proper tooth-brushing techniques.
