Purpose: This study examined the effect of the oral care using yogurt on the reduction of the tongue coating and the level of oral comfort in patients being tube feeding.
Method: There were 64 tube feeding patients at the S medical center(experimental group : 31, control group : 33). The subjects in the experimental group received oral care using yogurt containing Lactobacillus acidophilus. The control group received oral care using 0.02% chlorhexidine gluconate. Oral care was performed twice daily for 1 week in both groups. The scores for the tongue coating, oral dryness, and the level of oral comfort were used to measure the effect of the oral care. The data were analyzed by the SPSS WIN 11.5.
Result: the degree of the tongue coating and oral dryness were significantly lower in the experimental group than in the control group. The degree of oral comfort was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group.
Conclusion: Oral care using yogurt is effective in reducing the tongue coating, oral dryness, and oral discomfort.
Therefore this oral care method can be used to improve the level of oral comfort in patients who are tube feeding.
