Development and Validation of Health Educational Videos to Enhance the Oral Health Awareness Among the Parents and Caregivers of Children With Cerebral Palsy.

INTRODUCTION: Globally, around 3.5 billion people are affected by oral disease, with individuals with disabilities being more affected due to physical and cognitive limitations. They rely on their parents or caregivers to maintain their oral health. AIM: To develop and validate educational videos for promoting oral health through a YouTube channel for the parents/caregivers of children with cerebral palsy (CP). METHODOLOGY: The preparation of the script/storyboard was based on scientific articles addressing oral health promotion. The content was divided into eighteen videos, which were validated by a panel of experts. RESULTS: All the items in the script board content scored CVR greater than 0.80, and videos were considered valid. The Cohen's kappa for all the questions for the audiovisual content ranges between 0.86 and 1.00, showing strong agreement (kappa > 0.80) among the content experts. CONCLUSION: The developed educational videos demonstrated strong content validity scores, indicating their potential to significantly enhance oral health knowledge among parents and caregivers of children with CP.
