Abstract
Objective: Individuals with special needs requiring special care are more vulnerable to oral health problems. Sign language is a communication medium and language of instruction for individuals with hearing impairments. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to assess the effectiveness of sign language-based educational interventions compared to other educational interventions in improving the oral health of hearing-impaired individuals.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were searched without any restriction on the publication date. Analytical and experimental studies that evaluated and compared the effectiveness of sign language with other educational intervention groups such as videos, posters etc were included.
Results: Initially, 5568 records were identified. Three relevant publications from India were eligible and included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Differences were reported in favour of sign language over other interventions concerning plaque status, gingival health, and oral hygiene status.
Conclusion: Sign language-based interventions were found to be effective. However, further studies in different locations and populations are required to support their effectiveness.
目的:有特殊需要的人更容易出现口腔健康问题。手语是听力障碍人士的沟通媒介和教学语言。本系统回顾和荟萃分析的目的是评估以手语为基础的教育干预与其他教育干预相比在改善听障个体口腔健康方面的有效性。方法:检索PubMed、Scopus、Embase、Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials数据库，不限制发表日期。分析和实验研究评估并比较了手语与其他教育干预组(如视频、海报等)的有效性。结果:最初，识别了5568条记录。来自印度的三篇相关出版物符合条件，并被纳入系统评价和荟萃分析。在菌斑状态、牙龈健康和口腔卫生状况方面，手语干预优于其他干预。结论:以手语为基础的干预是有效的。然而，需要在不同地点和人群中进行进一步的研究，以支持其有效性。
