Abstract: This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of delivering dental health education via the LINE application in promoting oral health among homebound elderly individuals in Mueang Yala District, Yala Province. A purposive sampling technique was employed to select 40 participants. Data were collected using three instruments: the LINE application, educational video media tailored for homebound elderly individuals, and structured questionnaires assessing oral health knowledge and self-care behaviors. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics (percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and paired sample t-test. The findings indicated that the mean post-intervention score for oral health knowledge was significantly higher than the pre-intervention score, with a statistical significance level of 0.05. The results show that providing dental health education via the LINE application is an effective approach to increase knowledge and improve oral health care behavior among homebound elderly. Therefore, relevant agencies can apply this approach to promote oral health in this target group.
