Abstract
A Comparative study was conducted to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Chlorhexidene versus Hydrogen Peroxide Mouth Care on level of Oral Hygiene among Dependent Patients at selected hospitals, Salem. A Quasi Experimental pre and post test design was used. The 60 samples were selected through Non-Probability Convenience Sampling Technique among them 30 patients from Sri Gokulam Hospital were assigned as experimental group I (Chlorhexidene) and 30 patients from SKS hospital were assigned as experimental group II (Hydrogen peroxide). The level of oral hygiene was assessed by using observational checklist. After pre-assessment the experimental group I and II patients were received mouth care with chlorhexidene and hydrogen peroxide twice a day for 3 days respectively. Posttest was done for both the groups on 4th day. The findings reveals that in experimental group I and II 10 (33.33%) and 11 (36.7%) of them were aged between 41-50 years respectively. In experimental group I, 16 (53.3%) and experimental group II, 17 (56.7%) of them were males. In both experimental group I and II, 13 (43.3%) and 9 (30%) majority of them had neurological disorders. In experimental group I 23 (76.7%) and in experimental group II 18 (60%) of them had Nasogastric tube feeding. In experimental group I 22 (73.3%) and in experimental group II 18(0%) of them were admitted between the duration of 12-24 hrs. In experimental group I 10 (33.4%) and in experimental group II 7 (23.2%) of them had no personal habit. During pretest in experimental group I 83.3%, and experimental group II 90% of them had average oral hygiene. In experimental group I and II pretest mean score was 19.43 ± 3.95, 18.83± 2.64 respectively. The posttest mean score for experimental group I and II was 31.93±5.38, 26.23± 2.78 respectively. The obtained ‘t’ value was 9.72, which was significant at P<0.05 level. Hence H1 was retained. There was significant association (χ2=10.47) found between oral hygiene with duration of hospitalization in experimental group I at P<0.05 level. Hence H2 was retained only for this variable and rejected for all other variables in experimental group I and II. The study concludes that chlorhexidene mouth care was effective than hydrogen peroxide mouth care among dependent patients.
