Summary

The goal of this two-arm, parallel-group cluster randomized controlled trial was to assess the effectiveness of a healthcare mobile application prototype (NutriDent4Mom) in improving nutrient intake, diet quality and periodontal health status of pregnant women.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the NutriDent4Mom apps increase the mean nutrient intake (Nutrient value) and diet quality score (HEI) of pregnant women?
2. Does the NutriDent4Mom apps improve the periodontal health (GI score, CPI score) of pregnant women?

Researchers will compare the NutriDent4Mom apps to the conventional Ministry of Health (MOH) program to see if the NutriDent4Mom apps is effective to improve nutrient intake, diet quality and periodontal health status of pregnant women.

Conditions

  • Nutrient Intake
  • Diet Quality

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Mobile Application Prototype

Participants were provided with the NutriDent4Mom application installed in their own mobile device. They were instructed to use the apps throughout the study period. The instructions include entering the daily food intake and reading the educational content. The participants must finish reading the content, which covers at least two topics per day, within one week. The mobile application usage was monitored by a usage counter, and participants also received reminders to record their diet intake into the application.

BEHAVIORAL

Health education

Participants received health education delivered via health talk. Oral health care is one of the topics among other health topics including diet, breastfeeding, family planning, and preparation for delivery. These health education topics were delivered by the MOH medical staff nurses except for oral health care which was delivered by dental officers.
