Background: Oral care of patients is an additional role of the nurse. It reduces the number of microorganisms in the oral cavity and makes the patient feel comfortable. Based on a lot of studies, oral care guidelines reduce the incidence of respiratory infection. Therefore, knowledge and practice of oral health care active learning program is important to nurses.
Objective: This study aims to determine the knowledge, skill, and satisfaction for nurses in active learning program of oral health care and effectiveness of oral health care guideline for patients.
Material and Methods: This quasi-experimental study consists of 2 phases, to begin with training 837 volunteered nurses in oral health care active learning program at Thammasat University Hospital and also assess the knowledge, skill, and satisfaction with appropriate assessment form. In addition to determine the effectiveness of an oral health care guideline, 70 patients were purposively selected and assessed about oral health 2 times, before and after. The data were analysed with descriptive and t-test statistics.
Result: After training with an oral health care active learning program, registered nurses had high score of knowledge, skill, and satisfaction when compared with pre-test. While the assessment of oral health care on patients with an oral health care guideline was significantly clean or healthier than baseline.
Conclusion: The oral health care in clinical nursing practice guideline and active learning program is effective to improve the oral care knowledge, skill and satisfaction of registered nurses. It also maintains oral health in patients. An oral health care guideline should be used by nursing organizations to promote patient’s oral health care in a sustainable way.
