Abstract

Bali Island as the main tourist destination of Indonesia, is famous for its natural beauty which is supported by its cultural uniqueness that is very closely related to Hinduism, one of which is the tooth-cutting ceremony. Tooth cutting ceremony is a ceremony that must be carried out by Hindus, full of meaning, ethical values, ritual, and religious, so it needs to be preserved. If the process of cutting teeth is carried out in accordance with the health method, then there is no fear and doubt to cut teeth so that the tradition of cutting teeth can be steady and sustainable.
The purpose of this research is to develop a method of delivering information on cutting teeth according to the health method to the recipients in Tabanan district in 2018. This research is a quasi-experimental design approach with pre and post with control group approach. Where there are two groups, namely the treatment and control groups. The treatment group was given counselling with audio-visual media (video bondres) after the pre-test, while the control group was still given treatment in the form of counselling with the treatment of manual tooth-cutting in accordance with the health method after the pre-test. Analysis that carried out was univariate frequency distribution, percentage and bivariate with homogeneity, and normality tests using Kolmogorov Smirnov because respondents were more than 50 respondents, results were not normally distributed so the statistical tests used Wilcoxon signed Ranks test and Mann Withney test. Of the two counselling methods through videos and booklets to increase competent knowledge about the method of cutting teeth in accordance with the health method in Tanbanan Regency showed a significant increase (p = 0,000), from both methods of education it was found that the method with the booklet was more effective. It is hoped that Parisada Hindu Darma will print tooth-cutting manual in accordance with the health method to be distributed to the recipients to increase knowledge, so that the congregation will be more comfortable in carrying out the tooth-cutting ritual.
