Abstract

Dental and oral health problems among elementary school-aged children remain high and are influenced by a lack of knowledge about how to maintain dental and oral hygiene. Health education is a preventive measure aimed at improving children’s knowledge, with lectures and singing serving as educational approaches that are easy to implement. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of lectures and singing in improving oral health knowledge among students at SDIT Lantabur in Pagar Alam City in 2025. This study employed a mixed-methods design with a quasi-experimental two-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 82 first-grade students divided into two groups, each comprising 41 students who received health education using the lecture method and the singing method, respectively. Data were collected using questionnaires administered before and after the intervention and were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses. The results of the study show that before the lecture-based instruction, most students had insufficient knowledge (82.9%), and after the instruction, this increased to adequate knowledge (51.2%). Before the singing-based instruction, most students had insufficient knowledge (61%), and after the instruction, this increased to good knowledge (73.2%). Statistical tests showed that the lecture method was effective in improving students’ knowledge (p-value = 0.000) and the singing method was also effective (p-value = 0.000). The singing method proved to be more effective than the lecture method. The conclusion of this study is that the singing method is more effective in improving elementary school students’ knowledge of oral health.

Abstract

Seluma Regency ranks 5th out of 10 regencies/cities, with 31.76% of health care facilities (fasyankes) connected to the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system. The implementation of EMR still faces various obstacles, such as low compliance and knowledge among officers, limited infrastructure, and suboptimal budget support. The study aims to analyze the factors that influence the implementation of EMR, including staff compliance and knowledge, changes in governance, supporting facilities, and budgetary support. The method used is an analytical research design with a mixed-method approach. Data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 30 respondents consisting of health workers and management of the Seluma District General Hospital using stratified random sampling. This was clarified with a qualitative approach and field observations. The integrated results show that although statistically the variables are not significant, in practical terms, increasing staff knowledge through structured training, providing adequate technological facilities, and strengthening management commitment are seen as strategic steps to improve the achievement of RME implementation. Regular training, structured supervision, and strengthening of facilities and budgets to support RME implementation are recommended. Change management needs to be designed systematically with improved data connectivity. Further research on a larger scale is recommended to strengthen the findings.
