What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of an augmented reality (AR) training system for foreign care workers in improving the oral health of older adults. Participants are divided into three groups: one receiving AR training combined with video-based education, another receiving only video education, and a control group receiving a leaflet. The study measures changes in oral care behaviors and salivary biomarkers over a six-month period through questionnaires and oral assessments. The goal is to enhance the skills of caregivers to better manage oral health issues in elderly patients.
