Description-
Oral health is one of the most important part of an individual’s health as it maintains the
overall health of an individual (Bengtsson, 2016). The type 1 diabetics has an impact on an
individual’s oral health as it weakens teeth and gums of the patients (Borghuis, 2016). In
recent times, Diabetics has become very common among children and people of other age
groups. With the increase in the diabetics’ cases, there has been rise in various oral
manifestations that include burning mouth syndrome, halitosis, frequent abscesses, germ
infections and periodontal diseases.
These syndromes have affected the lifestyles of an individual thus causing problems for the
patients.As a nursing student, I did the research on effectiveness of verbal and non-verbal oral
health training whether these improve the oral health of the patients or not. The preparation of
research report has been an interesting phase where I had understood about various facts and
important issues related to it.
Feelings-
Before undertaking, the research work on the topic, I felt quite nervous as whether I would be
able to accomplish my stated objectives or goals. Initially, I had problems in deciding the
research question of the project and how to relate it with the rest of the research
methodology. After I decided the right question of the research project, I got relived with the
project as I was easily able to decide various topics that come under various headings. After
that, I had to select the right technique of analyzing the data presented.
Among the various techniques of observing data, I decided to select the observational cohort
design to help observe the data in an effective manner. The observational cohort design
helped me in coming up with effective solutions to achieve the effective results. I felt thrilled
when I was able to gather the patients’ behavioral aspects and their suggestions on oral
health.
Evaluation-
During my research project, I had various good and bad experiences in preparation of the
report. Some of good experiences included was when I was able to collect the data of all the
diabetic patients thus resulting in effective creation of the sample. During my research
project, I found it very difficult to select the probability technique so that the items can be
analyzed in the best possible manner. After going through the pros and cons of all the
