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

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by elevated blood sugar levels due to impaired insulin secretion or function. One of the main pillars of diabetes management, in addition to drug therapy and dietary adjustments, is regular physical activity. Physical activity is known to improve insulin sensitivity and help control blood sugar levels. This study aims to analyze the relationship between physical activity and blood sugar control in diabetes patients. This study used quantitative methods with an analytical design and a cross-sectional approach. The study sample was diabetes mellitus patients undergoing routine check-ups at health care facility X. Data were collected through a physical activity questionnaire and blood sugar level checks, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between physical activity levels and blood sugar control (p < 0.05). The conclusion of this study is that adequate and regular physical activity plays an important role in maintaining blood sugar control in diabetes patients.
