Hot moist application is useful for relieving masticatory muscle pain. But patients have less adherence in hot moist application compared to other self-care therapies. The efficient delivery of health education increases adherence. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of a health education between personal information and multimedia health information on adherence to hot moist application. Subjects were the new masticatory muscle pain patients at Occlusion Clinic and were divided into control and experimental groups of 47 and 46 respectively by blocked randomization. Control group received health education via personal information and experimental group received health education via multimedia health information. At the end of 2 week period, all of the subjects filled out the self-report questionnaire regarding adherence to hot moist application. All of the patients complied with hot moist application. The means of adherence score were 18.55±8.48 and 19.54±8.61 in control and experimental groups respectively. Comparison with t-test revealed no statistically significant. (p = 0.937, t=0.559)
