Background: Patients’ oral health is impaired in Intensive Care units (ICUs) due to loss of consciousness, open mouth, intubation, and mechanical ventilation. Objectives: The current study aimed to compare the effects of comprehensive and combined programs on oral health in patients under mechanical ventilation. Methods: This single-blind clinical trial with three groups was performed on 90 patients with mechanical ventilation admitted to ICUs of medical centers affiliated to the Zahedan University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2020. Patients under mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into three groups, including those receiving a comprehensive program, those receiving a combined program, and controls through permutated blocks. In the two intervention groups, oral care was performed for 5 minutes, three times per day, during the 5 days of the study with a specific method. The control group received routine oral care. The patients’ oral health was measured once before the intervention and then every day until the fifth day of the intervention using the Beck Oral Assessment scale. The data were analyzed using the analysis of variance and chi-square in IBM SPSS Statistics software version 26. Results: The mean oral health score in the three groups was not significantly different before the intervention and on the second day of the study (P > 0.05). However, on the third to fifth days of the study, the oral health score in the two intervention groups showed a significant decrease compared to the control group, indicating an oral health improvement in these groups (P = 0.001). The mean oral health score in the control group increased during the study days. Conclusions: Comprehensive care and combination methods can improve oral health in patients under mechanical ventilation. Nurses are recommended to use regular and codified oral care methods.

Background Oral and dental health has a significant impact on public health as well as the quality of life among individuals and families. This study aims to design, implement, and evaluate an intervention based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model for oral and dental health among primary school students in Rafsanjan city, Southern Iran. Methods In this exploratory sequential study, predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors related to oral and dental health were identified using 39 semi-structured interviews with stakeholders. In the quantitative section, the training program consisted of six sessions for students (250 students) with a brushing session, three sessions for parents, and two sessions for teachers of the target group with lectures, questions and answers, role playing, practical demonstration, and the explaining of related experiences. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 18.0 using Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, and chi-squared tests at the significance level of 0.05. Results In the qualitative section, seven predisposing factors, five enabling factors, and two reinforcing factors were identified. A training program based on the PRECEDE-PROCEED model was found to be effective in increasing the mean scores of the above constructs and the students' brushing behavior (P < 0.001). Conclusion Based on the results, the use of a PRECEDE-PROCEDE-based planning and participation model is suggested for identifying the factors related to oral and dental health behavior and also for designing, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based interventions.
