Abstract

According to Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics in 2021, the elderly population constituted 10.7% (29,128,542 individuals) of the total population in 2020. This proportion is projected to increase to 16.6% in 2035 and 19.9% in 2045. Knowledge of personal health significantly influences behavior, aligning with the level of understanding possessed. Oral health knowledge is a critical factor impacting dental and oral hygiene among the elderly. Poor oral health knowledge is commonly observed in older adults with lower socioeconomic status. The quality of life in the elderly is closely linked to oral health status. This study examined the relationship between oral health knowledge and quality of life among the elderly in Sembawa Subdistrict. It employed an observational analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of elderly individuals aged 60–65 years, both male and female, visiting four elderly care centers (Posyandu Lansia) and the outpatient elderly clinic at UPTD Puskesmas Sembawa. Data were collected using a questionnaire adapted from oral health knowledge and the OHRQoL-13 quality-of-life questionnaires. Statistical analysis was conducted to assess relationships between variables, with significance set at p<0.05. Regression analysis of gender, age, and education characteristics showed no significant relationship with quality of life, with p-values of 0.948, 0.342, and 0.395, respectively (p>0.05). However, a significant positive relationship was found between oral health knowledge and quality of life, with an r-value of 0.168 and a significance level of 0.040 (p<0.05). In conclusion, while gender, age, and education were not statistically significant predictors of quality of life, oral health knowledge showed a positive and significant relationship with quality of life among the elderly.

Abstract

Background: Oral and dental health is an important aspect of body health that is often neglected. Many research data show that the level of awareness and optimal oral and dental health practices still need to be improved. This improvement requires oral and dental health education with more interesting methods and can involve active participation from the audience. Objective: to assess an overview of Family Welfare and Empowerment Organization knowledge regarding dental and oral health before and after education using interactive media. Methods: This study was a quasi experimental study with a pre-test – post-test conducted on PKK women in Palu, Sulawesi Tengah. The PKK women knowledge was measured by filling out the questionnaire, which has been tested for its validity and reliability using the Pearson product moment correlation and Cronbach Alpha, then the questionnaires were distributed directly. Results: An assessment involving 91 respondents demonstrated a consistent upward trend in dental and oral health knowledge among most PKK women, observed prior to counseling and sustained at 15-day and 30-day post-intervention intervals. Conclusion: This study shows that most PKK women experienced increased knowledge about maintaining oral health. PKK women need to be more active in providing information related to oral health and are expected to practice it daily for themselves and their families. Interactive educational media is an effective tool for oral health education and increasing knowledge, especially among community groups such as PKK women. These findings support its broader implementation in public health programs to address preventable oral health problems.
