摘要

背景移动技术健康应用(手机应用)可以帮助人们管理健康和保健,鼓励健康的生活方式,并在必要时提供有价值的信息:本研究旨在评估卢旺达成年人口腔健康教育移动应用程序的可行性和可接受性:这是一项描述性横断面研究。共有 111 名成年参与者在使用了三个月的 BrushDJ 移动应用程序后,对其可接受性和可行性进行了评估。研究结束后,研究人员使用结构化问卷进行了在线调查,问卷内容包括人口统计学、口腔卫生习惯、可接受性评估和移动应用程序可行性评估。对人口统计学特征、手机应用的可行性和可接受性进行了描述性统计分析。采用卡方检验法进行二元分析,以检测各变量之间的显著关联:在 111 名参与研究的人员中,回复率为 81%(90 人),大多数参与者的年龄在 18 至 27 岁之间,占 44.44%(40 人)。男性参与者略高于半数,占 51.11%(人数=46)。大多数参与者对移动应用程序的接受度很高(87.78%;n=79),并认为其可行性很高(84.44%;n=76)。不同教育水平的参与者在接受度和可行性方面的差异具有统计学意义(接受度为 p=0.000,可行性为 p=0.038):研究表明,口腔健康教育移动应用程序(BrushDJ)在参与者中的接受度和可行性都很高。该手机应用软件具有友好的用户界面和全面的口腔卫生程序指导,功能多样且集成度高。

The Feasibility and Acceptability of a Mobile Application for Oral Health Education Among Adults in Rwanda.

Background: Mobile technology health application (mobile Apps) can assist people manage their health and wellness, encourage healthy lifestyles, and provide valuable information whenever necessary.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a mobile App for oral health education among adults in Rwanda.

Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. A total of 111 adult participants evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of the BrushDJ mobile App after using it for three months. At the end of this period, an online survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire consisting of questions on demographics, habitual oral health, assessing acceptability, and assessing the feasibility of the mobile App. Descriptive statistics were performed to analyse demographic characteristics, the feasibility and acceptability of the mobile App. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test was performed to detect significant associations amongst the variables.

Results: The response rate was 81% (n=90) of 111 participants who took part in the study, with the majority of participants 44.44% (n=40) aged between 18 and 27 years old. Just over half of the participants were male 51.11% (n=46). The mobile App was found to be highly acceptable (87.78%; n=79) and considered highly feasible (84.44%; n=76) by most of the participants. The differences in acceptability and feasibility across education levels were statistically significant (p=0.000 for acceptability and p=0.038 for feasibility).

Conclusion: The study revealed that the mobile App for oral health education (BrushDJ) was highly acceptable and feasible among the participants. The mobile App had a user-friendly interface and comprehensive guidance on oral hygiene procedures facilitated by its diverse and well-integrated functions.
