The Influence of the Story DONI AND GIGINYA on Oral Hygiene Behavior in Preschool Children Banyuwangi

Oral hygiene problems that cause damage to the oral cavity in children in Indonesia are still high, reaching 57.6%. So it is very important to pay attention because this is an important growth stage. Damaged teeth can cause delayed tooth development in later life. The method of oral hygiene that attracts the attention of preschool children is the storytelling method. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of stories on oral hygiene behavior in preschool children. This method is quantitative research using a quasi-experimental design (one group pre-test and posttest). The population consisted of 50 individuals, and the sampling technique used was total sampling, using an observation checklist sheet to measure how to brush teeth. Statistical tests use the Wilcoxon Test. The results of the research showed that after the story was given, there was an increase, namely 30 children behaved good, 18 children behaved enough, and 2 children behaved poorly. Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test results with a value of p=000<0.05, the analysis shows that the story "Doni and Giginya" influences the oral hygiene behavior of preschool children. The story "Doni and Giginya" has been proven to affect increasing children's oral hygiene knowledge and behavior. Therefore, parents or guardians of children can utilize audio-visual media in other forms that have moral messages so that children's knowledge and behavior regarding oral hygiene in particular and health, in general, can increase.

Southeast Asia as a decolonial method of storytelling and epistemic intervention: A reading of Joshua Kam’s How the Man in Green Saved Pahang, and Possibly the World (2020)

ABSTRACT This article examines Joshua Kam’s award-winning novel, How the Man in Green Saved Pahang, and Possibly the World, against a conceptual reimagining of Southeast Asia. Drawing inspiration from Kuan-Hsing Chen’s model of “Asia as method”, it argues that, in the novel, Southeast Asia functions both as the setting and as a “method” of storytelling and epistemic intervention. “Southeast Asia as method”, it proposes, points to a Southeast Asia-centric methodological framework that, firstly, narrates a non-Eurocentric story about the region for a readership from the region and, secondly, contests, via fiction, the knowledge produced within the framework of western modernity that casts Southeast Asia and its people in deficit terms. The novel’s use of “Southeast Asia as method” is framed as a decolonial one, with a west-decentring grounding and strategy, and the article unpacks this method by drawing on three movements – delinking–linking, reconstitution, and re-existence – as conceptualized by Walter Mignolo.

How can we do authentic co-construction with autistic secondary pupils?

Purpose of the research: Co-constructed digital storytelling methods have the potential to provide authentic children’s perspectives for planning health and education support. The Our Stories project investigated how this method can be applied with autistic children and young people (CYP). A year-long sub-project supported four autistic CYP in a mainstream secondary school in the UK to create short videos illustrating how they manage their sensory and emotional experiences during the school day. The CYP were supported by a member of the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities team, a specialist autism teacher, a researcher, and filmmakers from a disability-led community interest company. This paper reflects on how we can authentically co-construct digital stories with autistic secondary pupils. Major findings: We identified two broad messages for genuinely participatory research. The first was how the structure of sessions changed, from an initial assumption of imposing structure to achieve the research aims to the negotiation of a messy, more fluid means of working to suit the CYP’s needs and wishes. Second was a change in the intended purpose of the stories, from a product to support reflection and understanding about emotional regulation, to each CYP’s own unfolding of purpose. Conclusion: We draw out general implications for co-construction in participatory research in terms of awareness of how to work with power relations in ways that keep the young person at the centre of analysis, and which recognise the need for space for CYP to construct their own meanings.

The effect of digital storytelling on women's human papilloma virus awareness: Randomized controlled experimental study.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the digital storytelling (DS) method in increasing human papilloma virus (HPV) awareness. The study was conducted in the gynecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic of a state hospital between April and December 2023. The universe of the study consisted of women who applied to the outpatient clinic between these dates and volunteered. A total of 80 women who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study (n = 40 for each group). Data for the study were gathered using Personal Introduction Form and Human Papilloma Virus Knowledge Scale. Repeated measures ANOVA method was used to determine the difference between the pre-training, post-first training and post-second training measurement scores according to the intervention and control groups. For significant ANOVA results, measurements with differences were compared pairwise using Bonferroni correction. All statistical analyses were examined at the p < 0.05 significance level. Socio-demographic characteristics and HPV awareness levels of women in the intervention and control groups were similar before training (p > 0.05). After the activity conducted with the digital story method in the intervention group, the HPV awareness levels of women in this group increased significantly (p < 0.05). Considering the development in each group, an increase in posttest scores is observed in both groups. However, when the increase amounts in each group in the intervention and control groups were examined, it was determined that all awareness levels increased more in the intervention group. In the intergroup comparison, it was determined that the mean measurements of general HPV knowledge, general HPV vaccine knowledge, and knowledge of the current HPV vaccination program of women in the intervention group at the first and second follow-ups after the training were higher than those in the control group. The DS method was effective in raising HPV awareness given to the intervention group. Health professionals and researchers can benefit from DS in providing health education and consultancy services such as HPV awareness.

Stories for Us, or for Others: Digital Storytelling with a Harm Reduction Organization as Culture-Centered Health Communication

ABSTRACT Digital storytelling is a participatory media creation process. To illustrate how digital storytelling may be used as a method within the culture-centered approach to health communication, this paper presents a case study analysis of two 2-day digital storytelling workshops in collaboration with a local harm reduction organization that supports people who use drugs. Storytellers used the communicative space of digital storytelling to confront stigmatizing cultural and institutional narratives related to substance use. Storytellers also demonstrated how harm reduction work engendered a sense of purpose and an alternative to punitive drug policies. However, storytellers felt that stories produced for the harm reduction community could be misunderstood by outsiders, limiting the potential of the stories for advocacy communication. Overall, we find that digital storytelling as a method within the culture-centered approach has potential to elevate the experiences, understanding, expertise, and goals of communities that have been excluded from health communication. The digital storytelling method will have the most value as a critical narrative intervention if the principles and reflexivity of the culture-centered approach are foundational to the process.

Storytelling and good relations: Indigenous youth capabilities in climate futures

AbstractHow can we support young citizens facing chaotic climate futures? This question is urgent, particularly for Indigenous communities who face disproportionate risks and impacts of climate change. For the past three decades, climate‐related education has focused largely on the acquisition of scientific knowledge in instrumental ways, while encouraging individual behaviour change. This approach centres the problem rather than human capabilities to generate solutions, which is especially misaligned with the increasing practice and significance of Indigenous communities’ regenerating self‐determining capabilities. This article reports on a pilot study that uses intergenerational storytelling methods or pūrākau to support leadership capabilities among Indigenous Māori and Pacific young people aged 10 to 14 years in communities at high risk of flooding in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, Aotearoa/New Zealand. The study showed how storytelling locates and scaffolds Indigenous young people into positions of individual and collective responsibility for grappling with “wicked problems” such as climate and injustice and climate‐related challenges as part of the future they will inherit and shape within a broader intergenerational journey of resilience and reclamation.
