Abstract :
Background: Blind children are children who
tend to have low dental hygiene conditions. Children's
behavior in maintaining dental hygiene influences the
status of their dental hygiene. Because of their
limitations, it is difficult for them to interpret what they
should do. To overcome this, media is used as an
educational tool, namely Ada's Toothbrush to improve
teeth brushing skills and reduce the debris index of blind
children. Objective: To produce a Smart Audio
Toothbrush With Uv-filtered toothpaste dispenser
(Ada's Toothbrush) model to improve teeth brushing
skills and reduce debris index for visually impaired
children. Method: Using Quantitative methods with pre-
experiment research design (one group pretest and post-
test design). With the sampling technique, the total
sampling consisted of 30 blind children given
intervention with the model Ada's Toothbrush for 10
days. Results: The results of expert validation of the
Ada's Toothbrush model through validity testing using
Aiken V show value hit > 0.8 is declared very valid and
uses a reliability test Interclass Correlationb 0.915c
,
because (icc>0.80) it has high reliability. So Ada's
Toothbrush model is feasible as an effort to improve the
teeth-brushing skills of blind children. This model is
proven effective and there was an increase in skill scores
(p=0.000) of blind children on how to brush their teeth
before and after the intervention, and effective in
improving dental hygiene status by reducing the debris
index (p=0.000) before and after the intervention.
Conclusion: The development of Ada's Toothbrush
model is effective in improving teeth brushing skills and
reducing the debris index of blind children.
