Abstract
Background: Orphanage children can also be classified as one of the groups that are vulnerable to dental disease, this is due to a lack of dental health maintenance behavior due to low socioeconomic status. To improve dental and oral health maintenance behavior, dental health promotion can be done with interesting and appropriate media. Storgi media is one of the outreach media that is integrated with tooth brushing facilities in the form of toothbrush lockers. Objective: The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of Storgi Media as an effort to Improve Dental Health Behavior in Orphanage Children. Method: This research used a quasi-experimental design with a pretest and posttest control group design. The research sample was 50 children from orphanages taken using purposive sampling technique. The intervention group was given dental health education using storgi media, while the control group was given dental health education using flipcharts. The data was tested using paired sample t-test/Wilcoxon analysis, namely a pre-post design, while to compare the means of the treatment and control groups, the independent t-test/Mann Whitney test was used. Results: The results of the test of differences in knowledge, attitudes and actions of brushing teeth show that the p-value between the intervention group and the control group is 0.000 (p <0.05), meaning that there is a difference between the values of knowledge, attitudes and actions of brushing teeth after dental health education with children's storgi media and dental health education with filpchart. Conclusion: dental health education using storgi media is more effective in increasing the knowledge, attitudes and actions of brushing teeth in in orphanage children
