Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effects of tooth brushing, wiping the mouth with bicarbonate, and rinsing the mouth with water on the oral care of children with asthma using inhalers.

Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental quantitative research design with a pretest-posttest control group. The sample of 6-10-year-old asthmatic children was divided into the tooth brushing training group (n=49), the bicarbonate mouth wiping training group (n=49), the water rinsing training group (n=49), and the control group (n=49). Data were collected using a “Sociodemographic Information Form” and an “Oral Assessment Guide”. The oral assessment guide was re-administered 6 weeks after the children had received the education.

Results: The findings showed that the gums were better in the group applying the wiping the mouth with bicarbonate method (P=.046), swallowing complaints decreased in the group applying the rinsing the mouth with water method (P=.003), and mucous membranes were better in the group applying the wiping the mouth with bicarbonate method (P=.046).

Conclusion: As a result of the study, the method of rinsing the mouth with water was found to be more functional. Accordingly, it is recommended to rinse the mouth with water after using inhaler medication.

İnhaler İlaç Kullanan Astımlı Çocuklarda Ağız Bakım Yöntemlerinin Ağız Sağlığına Etkisinin Araştırılması: Yarı Deneysel Bir Çalışma

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma, astım tanısı konulmuş inhaler ilaç kullanan çocuklarda diş fırçalama, ağzı bikarbonat ile silme ve ağzı su ile çalkalamanın ağız bakımına etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Yöntemler: Çalışmada ön test-son test kontrol gruplu yarı deneysel nicel araştırma deseni kullanılmıştır. 6-10 yaş arası astımlı çocukların örneklemi; diş fırçalama eğitim grubu (n=49), bikarbonatlı ağız silme eğitim grubu (n=49), su çalkalama eğitim grubu (n=49) ve kontrol grubundan (n=49) oluşmuştur. Veriler, “Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu” ve “Ağız Değerlendirme Formu” kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ağız değerlendirme formu, çocuklara eğitim verildikten 6 hafta sonra tekrar uygulanmıştır.

Bulgular: Bulgular, bikarbonat yöntemi ile ağız silme uygulayan grupta diş etlerinin daha iyi olduğunu (P=,046), su ile çalkalama yöntemini uygulayan grupta yutma şikayetlerinin azaldığı (P=,003), ve bikarbonat ile ağız silme yöntemi uygulanan grupta oral mukozanın daha iyi olduğu görüldü (P=,046).

Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda, ağzı su ile çalkalama yöntemi daha işlevsel bulundu. Buna göre inhaler ilaç kullanımı sonrasında ağzın su ile çalkalaması tavsiye edilmektedir.
