Comparative Clinical Analysis of two Different Approaches of Cinematically Presented Oral Health Education Among Patients Seeking Prosthetic Rehabilitation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Statement of the problem: Health education of the patient about his treatment is an essential part of comprehensive care. Every treatment has related information that patient has to follow. Advances in multimedia, especially in digital cinematography could be a valuable tool for effective communication between the doctor and his patients. Purpose:Toevaluate the effectiveness of a video assisted education health program on patients using two different clinical approaches, one in which a video would be shown at the end of the treatment and the other in which education through a video would be started at the beginning of the treatment. The study also would investigate the possible analysis of both approaches on less literate subjects. Materials and methods: All patient related information would be cinematographed in the form of a twenty one minute video, following which sixty completely edentulous patients were treated with complete denture prosthesis. Subjects were divided into two groups namely group C (h) and group C (t) and also into literate and illiterate. All the subjects were asked to recall the information at two subsequent follow up visits. Results: subjects belonging to group C (t) showed better recall of information for both males and female www.jmscr.igmpublication.org Impact Factor 1.1147 ISSN (e)-2347-176x JMSCR Volume||2||Issue||7||Page 1669-1681||July 2014 2014 Aditya Kapoor et al JMSCR Volume 2 Issue 7 July 2014 Page 1670 JMSCR Volume||2||Issue||7||Page 1669-1681||July 2014 2014 patients at first (43% and 56%) and second appointments (43% and 56%) respectively. Illiterate subjects demonstrated almost equivalent results in both tested groups at both the appointments. Unpaired‘t’ test between two studied groups at both appointments showed significant values at p<0.05 whereas the Karl pearsons correlation coefficient between group C(h) and C(t) was significant for first appointment. Conclusion:use of cinematography to educate patients is an effective means of delivering treatment related information especially when use of such mode is started during the treatment. With so many factors associated with effective communication further research is required in both means and approaches especially with the advent of social networking and satellite technology.
