Abstract

Objective: Experiential education (EE) and health coaching techniques (HCT) were proved to be effective in health management. This study investigated the effectiveness of EE combined with HCT in extended care for elderly patients with dental implants.

Methods: A total of 90 elderly patients who received implant restoration were randomly divided into intervention group (IG) and control group (CG). CG received standard health education. IG received EE, HCT and standard health education. Periodontal conditions of peri-implants (plaque Index, PLI; sulcus bleeding index, SBI; gingival Index, GI) were assessed at 1-, 3-, and 6-months. Oral health self-efficacy and implant survival rates after 6 months were compared between two groups.

Results: No significant differences in periodontal indices were observed between groups at 1 and 3 months post-intervention. After 6 months of intervention, the experimental group showed significantly superior PLI, mSBI, and GI scores relative to the control group (P < 0.05). IG also showed an improvement in oral health self-efficacy compared to the CG (P < 0.05). The implant survival rate in the IG was higher than in the CG after 6 months, but the difference was not significant.

Conclusion: EE combined with HCT improves oral health self-efficacy and periodontal health in elderly patients with dental implants.

体验式教育结合健康指导技术在老年种植牙患者延伸护理中的应用与效果。

目的：验证体验式教育（EE）和健康教练技术（HCT）在健康管理中的有效性。本研究探讨了情感表达结合HCT在老年种植牙患者扩展护理中的效果。方法：将90例接受种植体修复的老年患者随机分为干预组（IG）和对照组（CG）。儿童基金会接受标准的健康教育。IG接受EE、HCT和标准健康教育。种植体周围牙周状况(菌斑指数，PLI；沟出血指数；分别于1、3、6个月时评估牙龈指数（GI）。比较两组患者6个月后口腔健康自我效能感和种植体存活率。结果：干预后1、3个月，两组患者牙周指标无明显差异。干预6个月后，实验组的PLI、mSBI、GI评分均明显优于对照组（P P）。结论：EE联合HCT可改善老年种植牙患者的口腔健康自我效能感和牙周健康。
