2/ Evaluation of the E-learning module Colgate (www.colgateelderlycare.com)
The E-learning module is developed to educate nurses and caregivers of
older community dwelling people and older people residing in nursing
homes.
Part of the participants received at home a link to the E-learning module.
They were asked to give their perceptions on the E-learning module in
order to prepare the focus group discussion. Therefore a guiding
questionnaire was send in advance.
Memory refresh by short power point presentation by prof. dr. Luc De
Visschere (see addendum I).
The participants were informed that the module was developed by
Colgate in cooperation with a dental hygienist involved by Colgate and
the department of Community Dentistry & Oral Public Health, University
Ghent.
E-learning module Colgate: focus group talk
Eight of the participants received at home a link to the E-learning
module. They were asked to give their perceptions on the E-learning
module in order to prepare the focus group discussion.
Therefore a guiding questionnaire was send in advance with following
questions:





What are you first impressions?
What are your ideas about the concept/format?
Why should you or why should you not recommend this module?
SWOT analysis
Do you have any suggestions to ameliorate this module?
Results of the focus group:
It was surprising that no one of the participants was aware of the
existence of this E-learning module.
This finding has been confirmed during the Saturday Meeting were no
one of more than 100 participants was aware of the existence of the Elearning.

 Concept ‘Cases’ with 3 # types of care dependency
 Train the trainer section
Weaknesses
 It takes too long?
 Only in English
 In some cases real life images are lacking
 Focus on knowledge, skills, less on attitude
Treats
 Complex accessibility with login procedure.
 Navigation procedure is not clear
 Credit system
 Time needed
Opportunities
 All caregivers
 Adaptable for other target groups
3/ Preventive oral health strategies: state of the art
A comprehensive Evidence Based overview of the use of fluoride mouth
rinses, gels, foams and varnishes for the prevention of dental caries in
older people was given by prof. dr. Jacques Vanobbergen.
See handouts of the powerpoint (addendum II)
Conclusion:
A general consensus was that all these products are not used neither
self-applied and/or professionally applied by dental professionals in the
preventive programs of frail elderly people?
These products are indeed an extra preventive tool in addition to the
daily use of fluoride toothpaste.
