Abstract

Children's adherence to dental hygiene is a crucial factor in preventing dental and oral diseases, particularly caries, which is common among school-aged children. This low adherence is often caused by a lack of understanding and motivation regarding the importance of maintaining good dental hygiene. The storytelling method is believed to be an effective educational strategy because it aligns with the developmental characteristics of children who enjoy stories and imagination. This study aimed to determine the effect of the storytelling method on children's adherence to dental hygiene. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test and post-test control group design. The sample consisted of 40 children aged 6–8 years, divided into two groups: an experimental group educated using the storytelling method, and a control group educated using the conventional lecture method. Data were collected through a toothbrushing adherence questionnaire covering brushing frequency, time, and technique. The analysis showed a significant increase in children's adherence scores in the experimental group after treatment (p = 0.001), while the increase was not significant in the control group (p = 0.213). An independent t-test showed a significant difference between the two groups after the intervention (p = 0.004). In conclusion, the storytelling method has a significant impact on increasing children's adherence to dental hygiene. This approach can be implemented by teachers, healthcare workers, and parents as a fun and effective educational method to foster clean and healthy living habits from an early age.

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a strategic effort to improve public health. Low implementation of PHBS remains a public health problem, contributing to increasing morbidity. Health education is an effective promotive approach to encourage behavior change in the community. This study aims to determine the effect of health education on changes in clean and healthy living behavior. The study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach. The sample consisted of 60 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was a PHBS questionnaire. Data were analyzed descriptively and comparatively. The results showed an increase in PHBS behavior after health education. It was concluded that health education has an effect on changes in clean and healthy living behavior.
