“…Since the study, a handful of oral health literacy intervention studies have been published. Ju et al [31] tested the efficacy of an oral health literacy intervention based on Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory to enhance oral health literacy among indigenous Australian adults and concluded that the intervention was partially successful in improving oral health literacy and oral health-literacy related outcomes after multiple imputations. Vilella et al [32] evaluated the effect of oral health literacy on the retention of health information in pregnant women.…”

Numerous conceptual models of health literacy have been proposed in the literature, but very few have been empirically validated in clinical contexts. The aim of this study was to test the effects of the conceptual model of health literacy as a risk in a clinical dental context. A convenience sample of 133 Norwegian-speaking adults was recruited. Participants were randomly allocated to an intervention group (n = 64, 54% women, mean age = 50 years) and a control group (n = 69, 49% women, mean age = 46 years). Clinical measurements were conducted pre-intervention and six months post-intervention. In the intervention group, communication regarding patients’ oral health was tailored to their health literacy levels using recommended communication techniques, whereas the control group received brief information not tailored to health literacy levels. The ANCOVA showed significant between-group effects, finding reduced post-intervention mean gingival (p < 0.000) and mean plaque (p < 0.000) indices in the intervention group when controlling for baseline index scores. The adjusted Cohen’s d indicated large effect sizes between the intervention group and the control group for both the mean gingival index (−0.98) and the mean plaque index (−1.33). In conclusion, the conceptual model of health literacy as a risk had a large effect on important clinical outcomes, such as gingival status and oral hygiene. The model may be regarded as a suitable supplement to patient education in populations.

“…42 The eta squared (η 2 ) was equal to 0.01, 0.06 and 0.14 could be interpreted as having small, medium and large differences, respectively. 43 The large effect size was found in the studies of Ju et al (d = 1.85), 31 Epstein et al (η 2 = 0.34), 34 Nayiga et al (d = 0.99) 38 and Helitzer et al (g = 0.86). 39 The medium effect size was found only in the study of Hjertstedt et al (d = 0.64).…”

The 6 RCTs 31,34,36-39 and three quasi-experiments 32,33,35 were included in this review, which was published from January 2008 to December 2017. There were six studies about PCC (containing 4 RCTs, 34,36,37,39 one cluster RCT 38 and one quasi-experiment 35 ) whilst three studies on OHL (containing 1 RCT 31 and two quasiexperiments 31,33 ).

Objective To investigate the learning programmes and teaching techniques used in interventions to enhance oral health literacy (OHL) or patient‐centred communication (PCC) for healthcare providers. Materials and methods A systematic review of OHL and PCC were obtained from four electronic databases (PubMed, ScienceDirect, ProQuest and Scopus) was undertaken. These searches covered the period from January 2008 to December 2017. The quality assessment tool was the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal tool for systematic reviews of effectiveness. Results The final review included nine studies amongst a total of 1475 studies. They showed three learning programmes (workshops, training and community‐based rotation) and 17 related teaching techniques to promote OHL and PCC. The most commonly used learning programmes to enhance OHL and PCC for healthcare providers were workshops, and the teaching techniques included feedback and reflection. The intervention periods of the programmes took 20 minutes to half a day. The three studies did not have a follow‐up, whilst the rest showed a follow‐up range of 2 months to 3 years. Interestingly, there was one study, which applied double follow‐ups to show the effectiveness of the programme. Conclusion Either workshops or training programmes with a combination of teaching techniques were effective in terms of enhancing their OHL or PCC. The more frequent follow‐up might increase the long‐term effectiveness of the learning programme.
