| The results of oral hygiene management for patients in the study sample will be evaluated. Oral hygiene management is an academic term that refers to actions related to oral hygiene, such as improving the oral environment by cleaning the oral cavity, for example, with a toothbrush or sponge. It is considered hygiene care and daily oral care involving full assistance from nurses.
