ObjectivesThe purpose of the study was to measure the effectiveness of oral health education and training among caregivers. MethodsControlled study design. Participants were randomized from the sample n=30. n=14 participants in the experimental group and n=10 in the control group. The experimental group received a lecture and hands-on training in oral hygiene procedures. The control group received a facilitated group discussion. Both groups received a pre-post test. ResultsConsidering the two groups independently, using a paired t-test, the experimental group, n=14 had a score difference of 0.0607 (P-value=0.01) and the control group n=10, had a score difference of 0.035 (P-value=0.14). ConclusionThis study found that knowledge was improved among caregivers following the implementation of formal oral hygiene training. Although the control group also showed some improvements with the facilitated discussion, the results are not significant to say that both the formal training and the facilitated discussion are equally important in training caregivers effectively.
