BACKGROUND
Because U.S. dental hygienists play a significant role in providing prevention and early-detection services, it is important to describe and evaluate their oral cancer knowledge and opinions.
METHODS
A pretested survey, cover letter, and prepaid return envelope were mailed to 960 dental hygienists, followed by three complete follow-up mailings.
RESULTS
The respondents were not as knowledgeable about oral cancer risk factors and diagnostic procedures as hypothesized. Although the respondents were well informed about certain key aspects of oral cancer risk factors and diagnostic procedures, there were many aspects of these topics in which they were deficient and in some cases misinformed.
CONCLUSIONS
Dental hygiene curricula should be updated and continuing education coursesabout oral cancer should be developed and implemented.
背景
由于美国口腔保健员在提供预防和早期检测服务方面发挥着重要作用，因此描述和评估他们的口腔癌知识及观点很重要。
方法
一份经过预测试的调查问卷、附信和预付回邮信封被邮寄给960名口腔保健员，随后进行了三次完整的后续邮寄。
结果
受访者对口腔癌风险因素和诊断程序的了解不如预期。尽管受访者对口腔癌风险因素和诊断程序的某些关键方面有充分了解，但这些主题的许多方面他们都有所欠缺，在某些情况下甚至得到了错误信息。
结论
口腔卫生课程应更新，应开发并实施有关口腔癌的继续教育课程。
