Abstract

Parental perception and attitudes are important parameters in deciding the most suitable behavioral management technique for their children’s dental treatment. Objective: This study sought to evaluate parents’ perceptions, attitudes, and concern in using a papoose board (PB) on their child during dental treatment as a behavioral management technique in dentistry, as well as determine the sociodemographic factors associated with parents’ willingness to use the PB for their children’s dental care. Methods: One hundred parents from three locations with at least one healthy child aged between 4 and 7 years old were randomly identified. A self-made video (duration of 94 s) depicting the systematic placement of a PB on a child prior to dental treatment was viewed. Subsequently, each parent completed a validated 12-item questionnaire consisting of two domains: i) demographics and ii) acceptance given. A horizontal-visual analog scale was used to measure acceptance. Descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient, and simple logistic regression analysis were performed to generate the mean and standard deviation, frequency, percentage, and correlation. Results: Seventy-six parents completed the study. Approximately 63.2% of respondents felt that the PB is an effective technique to use, and 65.8% would permit its use during dental treatment for their children. However, 43.4% of respondents were worried about their child’s dental treatment. The age of the parents is a significant factor in their decision to use the PB. Conclusion: The PB appears to be well accepted by parents as a behavioral management technique in the condition that a proper explanation of its usage is given before its application.

Abstract

Background: Diverse music activities may reduce stress and enhance well-being. However, using a musical mobile health application (app) as an intervention during dental treatment has not yet been established. Hence, a self-preference musical mobile app (ACOU@PLAY) has been created for use in clinical settings. Purpose: This study aims to assess the quality of the ACOU@PLAY app as a relaxing tool for dental students and compare the results with patients’ opinions. Methods: A total of 53% (n = 38) dental students and 47% (n = 35) patients were recruited to use the self-preference musical mobile app (ACOU@PLAY) for 10 minutes and watch a 5-minute pre-recorded video. Then, an evaluation was performed using a validated tool, the modified user version Mobile App Rating Skill (uMARS), which included a demographic survey. The uMARS questionnaire consists of five domains (engagement, functionality, aesthetics, information, and app subjective quality) using a 5-point Likert scale. Results: The average quality score of the app was 3.96 ± 0.509. The app received its highest rating for the information domains, with a mean score of 4.14 ± 0.577, and its lowest for subjective quality, with a mean score of 3.63 ± 0.565. Notable differences were observed in the ratings for engagement (p = 0.008) and aesthetics (p = 0.035) between dental students and patients, as well as significant differences in ratings based on gender in the domains of engagement (p = 0.007), functionality (p = 0.018), and aesthetics (p = 0.021). Conclusion: The self-preference musical mobile app (ACOU@PLAY) is well accepted by dental students and favored by patients with adequate qualities to be used in clinical settings.
