Abstract

Dental and oral health education is an attempt to influence a person’s or society’s behavior so that they have the ability and habit of engaging healthily in oral and dental health. Counseling using picture story books is an intriguing way for sharing health information, particularly to children.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how students aged 10 to 12 years old at Raudhatul Jannah Martapura’s Private Islamic Primary School respond to counseling using the illustrated picture book method. The research being conducted serves as a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest design. In this study, 42 participants contributed. The total sampling approach was used, where the total number of respondents was 32. The results revealed that the average knowledge before counseling was 8.09 and 8.84 after counseling, which indicates a 0.75 gain in knowledge. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test showed that there was a significant effect on dental caries knowledge after counseling using the illustrated picture book method, with a p-value of 0.001, which is less than the significance level (α) of 0.05, based to the Paired Sample T-Test and Normality test.

In conclusion, there is the effect of counseling using the illustrated picture book approach on dental caries knowledge in children aged 10–12 years at Raudhatul Jannah Martapura’s Private Islamic primary school. Future researchers are obligated to make changes to the story to make it more appealing and innovative in order to attract children’s attention and keep them engaged.
