|
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of gargling with A-Solution and 0.9% normal saline on xerostomia, halitosis, and salivary pH among nursing students.
Methods: The study design was a randomized, controlled trial. The experimental group received oral gargling treatment for 15 seconds with A-solution while the control group received oral gargling treatment for the same time with 0.9% normal saline. Outcome variables were measured at baseline, 60 minutes, and 120 minutes.
Results: The groups were homogeneous in general characteristics, and the outcome variables before the treatment between the experimental group and the control group. 1) There were no significant differences in xerostomia, halitosis, and salivary pH between the two groups. 2) There were no significant differences in xerostomia, halitosis, and salivary pH based on the time. 3) There were significant interactions between group and time in subjective halitosis (F=3.766, p=.034) only.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that oral gargling with Aroma solution and 0.9% normal saline could have the same effect of reducing xerostomia and halitosis in nursing students.
