Brief Summary:
To evaluate the effectiveness of pre- and post-intervention of oral health education using three interventions conventional methods mHealth and the Metaverse platform on the oral health status knowledge practices and attitudes among secondary school students in Malaysia
Detailed Description:
Background In the last couple of years the reach of the Internet is leading the world into a unique virtual dimension Immersive technologies such as virtual reality VR augmented reality AR mixed reality MR extended reality XR and metaverse offer diverse virtual experiences and are gaining attention for their supportive role in addressing general health and oral health concerns Dwivedi et al in 2022 discussed and set out the potential research agenda in the metaverse in education and health The metaverse environment offers users an immersive component and experience compared to the traditional environment According to Locurcio oral health education and promotion can be provided virtually to target groups and communities through public or private health sector metaverse software for public benefits Due to no additional cost or limitation in the number of participants it can educate multiple target groups by providing different sessions from anywhere in the world These can benefit schoolchildren teachers and caregivers Due to the immersive and interactive nature the creation of safe and controlled environments and adaptation to the learners characteristics immersive technologies and metaverse specifically can facilitate and increase the inclusion of students in educational activities Hence the metaverse in oral health promotion and education can revolutionise how people learn practise and maintain good oral health It can also make oral health information more accessible engaging and practical ultimately leading to a positive behavioural change in oral health Currently virtual oral health education is often delivered through online platforms like social media Zoom Google Meet and Microsoft Teams In the future individually customised oral health education will likely utilise more natural-feeling and immersive platforms such as the metaverse The development of metaverse platforms is intricate and context-specific and necessitates input from various relevant stakeholders Few studies on creating health promotion applications have demonstrated that youth have distinct preferences for digital interventions compared to adults
