About this trial

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.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • oral care augmented reality (AR)

    Device

    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.

  • video-based oral hygiene education course

    Other intervention

    50-minute video-based oral hygiene education course

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Tongue Coating Index(TCI)

The tongue-coating status of 9 areas of tongue surfaces was recorded using the tongue coating index, as follows: Score 0: Tongue coating not visible. Score 1: Tongue coating thin, papillae of tongue visible. Score 2: Tongue coating very thick, papillae of tongue not visible. Range= 0 to 18 Score

Time frame
Change from Baseline TCI at 1-month after intervention
2

Tongue Coating Index(TCI)

The tongue-coating status of 9 areas of tongue surfaces was recorded using the tongue coating index, as follows: Score 0: Tongue coating not visible. Score 1: Tongue coating thin, papillae of tongue visible. Score 2: Tongue coating very thick, papillae of tongue not visible. Range= 0 to 18 Score

Time frame
Change from Baseline TCI at 3-month after intervention
3

Tongue Coating Index(TCI)

The tongue-coating status of 9 areas of tongue surfaces was recorded using the tongue coating index, as follows: Score 0: Tongue coating not visible. Score 1: Tongue coating thin, papillae of tongue visible. Score 2: Tongue coating very thick, papillae of tongue not visible. Range= 0 to 18 Score

Time frame
Change from Baseline TCI at 6-month after intervention
4

Oral Dryness Status

The oral dryness status of saliva flow rate was recorded using the saxon test(Chew gauze sponge for 2 mins), as follows: Normal: 2.75 g/2min. Oral dryness: 2 g/2min.

Time frame
Change from Baseline Oral Dryness Status at 1-month after intervention

Secondary outcomes
