Project Overview

People who are hospitalised are more likely to experience poorer oral health outcomes. Nurses, who are the first point of contact, are well-placed to provide oral care. In India, few studies have been published on the potential role of nurses in promoting oral care. This project aims design, develop and implement an oral health training program for nurses by assessing nurses’ knowledge, identify barriers in providing oral care, and exploring the acceptability and feasibility of an oral care training program.
