Introdução: As doenças orais são das patologias não transmissíveis mais prevalentes globalmente, afetando a saúde geral e a qualidade de vida (OMS). Perante baixos níveis de literacia e desigualdades no acesso a cuidados, a prevenção assume um papel crucial. O avanço tecnológico impulsionou o uso de estratégias digitais na promoção da saúde, embora faltem estudos sobre a sua eficácia; Objetivos: O primeiro objetivo deste estudo-piloto é avaliar o nível de literacia dos adolescentes portugueses e avaliar a eficácia das estratégias digitais na melhoria da literacia em saúde oral entre os participantes; Materiais e métodos: Este estudo-piloto avaliou o impacto de ferramentas audiovisuais na literacia em saúde oral de adolescentes portugueses (15-18 anos). Utilizaram-se vídeos educativos com menos de três minutos, criados por inteligência artificial e <br/>baseados em evidência científica, focados em temas preventivos e partilhados no Instagram. A intervenção nas escolas envolveu a aplicação de questionários idênticos no Google Forms antes e após a visualização dos vídeos para medir a evolução do conhecimento; Resultados: A análise da fase pré-intervenção revelou um nível de literacia satisfatório, com uma percentagem de respostas corretas superior a 60% em todos os questionários. Além disso, verificou-se um aumento de conhecimentos entre a fase pré e pós-intervenção de 6,21%, 9,34%, 14,93% e 23,68%, respetivamente, para cada um dos temas analisados; Conclusão: Este estudo-piloto ajudou a detetar as melhorias a aplicar numa investigação alargada a várias escolas portuguesas, como por exemplo, uma maior monitorização direta ou presencial, e incentivos tangíveis que fomentem a adesão contínua dos participantes na visualização dos vídeos como no preenchimento dos questionários. Além disso, podemos concluir que a ferramenta digital desenvolvida ajudou aos participantes a aumentar o próprio nível de literacia em saúde oral.
Introduction: Oral diseases are among the most prevalent non-communicable conditions worldwide, affecting general health and quality of life (WHO). Given low levels of literacy and inequalities in access to care, prevention plays a crucial role. Technological advances have driven the use of digital strategies in health promotion, although there is a lack of studies on their effectiveness; Objectives: The primary objective of this pilot study is to assess the level of oral health literacy among Portuguese adolescents and to evaluate the effectiveness of digital strategies in improving oral health literacy among participants; Materials and methods: This study assessed the impact of audiovisual tools on the oral health literacy of Portuguese adolescents (aged 15–18). Educational videos lasting less than three minutes were used; these were created using artificial intelligence and based on scientific evidence, focusing on preventive topics and shared on Instagram. The school-based intervention involved administering identical questionnaires via Google Forms before and after viewing the videos to measure changes in participants’ knowledge; Results: Analysis of the pre-intervention phase revealed a satisfactory level of literacy, with a percentage of correct answers exceeding 60% in all questionnaires. Furthermore, there was an increase in knowledge between the pre- and post-intervention phases of 6.21%, 9.34%, 14.93% and 23.68%, respectively, for each of the topics analysed; Conclusion: This pilot study helped to identify improvements to be implemented in a wider study involving several Portuguese schools, such as greater direct or face-to-face monitoring, and tangible incentives to encourage participants’ continued engagement in watching the videos and completing the questionnaires. Furthermore, we can conclude that the digital tool developed helped participants to improve their own level of oral health literacy.
