Nurses in the intervention ICU received multimedia educational content based on an evidence-based oral care algorithm, along with face-to-face training for one month. They then provided the intervention to patients. During the next 3 months, the oral hygiene scores of newly admitted patients were evaluated using the Beck Oral Assessment Scale (BOAS) three times: upon admission to the ICU, 24\u2005h, and 48\u2005h after admission. The control group continued with usual oral care as before. Data were analyzed using SPSS-26 software. The Chi-square test, Fisher's Exact test, Independent T-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      There were no significant differences between the patients\u2019 and nurses\u2019 groups regarding baseline characteristics.
