Abstract

Introduction: Oral cancer is a disease that today continues to be a public health problem worldwide, ranking between the sixth and eighth place in the world. In Colombia, the incidence of oral cancer is 3.1%, which means that the constant evaluation of the knowledge of this disease becomes a challenge. Even so, there is no clear information on the efficacy of educational interventions, therefore a systematic review was carried out to identify the most effective interventions on knowledge in prevention and detection of oral cancer. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of educational interventions in the knowledge of prevention and detection of oral cancer, based on the information available in the literature between 2010 and 2020. Results: In this systematic review, it was found that the intervention methods that were most effective were lectures, whether virtual or face-to-face, educational materials such as brochures, videos, posters and educational booklets. The years in which the most articles on oral cancer interventions were reported were between 2016 and 2019. On the other hand, it was evidenced that the countries with the largest intervention study were the United States, Colombia and Germany. Methods: A systematic review-type study was carried out in which an analysis was made of the different articles found in the PubMed database, Scopus and Embase, Google scholar, ScienceDirect, Dentistry and Oral Sciences, SAGE Journal, with these databases it was collected twenty articles that met all the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: It was concluded that the quality of the information in the educational interventions had a negative impact on the fact that some of them did not perform measurements before and after the intervention. advertising campaigns, delivery of educational material and easily accessible platforms.
