Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of Oral Function Improvement Exercises on salivation, xerostomia and halitosis in elderly people.

Methods

The participants in the study were 48 female community-dwelling elders in D city. The Oral Function Improvement Exercises were given 3 times a week, for a total of 24 times from August to October 2011. Spitting method, Visual Analogue Scale, and halimeter (mBA-21) were used to evaluate the effects of Oral Function Improvement Exercises on salivation, xerostomia, and halitosis. The data were analyzed using χ2-test and t-test with the SPSS program.

Results

The experimental group had significantly better salivation, and less xerostomia and halitosis than the control group.

Conclusion

The results indicate that Oral Function Improvement Exercises were effective for salivation, xerostomia and halitosis in the elders. Therefore, it was suggested that Oral Function Improvement Exercise are applicable in a community nursing intervention program to improve the quality of life for elders.

Effects of A-solution on Halitosis and Oral Status in Preoperative NPO Patients
Ji-Ah Song, Myung-Haeng Hur
J Korean Acad Nurs 2012;42(3):405-413.   Published online June 29, 2012
DOI: https://doi.org/10.4040/jkan.2012.42.3.405
AbstractAbstract PDF
Purpose

The aim of this study was to explore the effects of A-solution on halitosis and oral status in preoperative NPO patients.

Methods

A nonequivalent control group, non-synchronized pretest-posttest design was used in this study. The participants in this study were 66 patients who were admitted for gynecologic surgery. The experimental treatment was to give oral gargling with A-solution, blended essential oils and diluted with distilled water. To identify the experimental treatment effects, halitosis, salivary pH, and oral status were measured by a portable halitosis detector, visual analogue scale, Bromo Thymol Blue (BTB), Bromo Cresol Purple (BCP) test paper and oral assessment guide. Data were analyzed using χ2-test, t-test with PASW 18.0 version.

Results

Participants were homogeneous before experimental treatment. Objective halitosis in the experimental group, measured by a portable halitosis detector (t= -8.34, p<.001) was significantly lower than the control group. Subjective halitosis was significantly lower in the experimental group (t= -9.29, p<.001). Salivary pH was significantly different between two groups (t=8.81, p<.001). Oral status was significantly better in the experimental group (t= -13.31, p<.001).

Conclusion

These findings indicate that oral gargling using A-solution is effective in reducing patient halitosis, and improving oral status.
