The aim of this study was to assess the attitudes of junior dental students at a United Kingdom dental school regarding the administration and receipt of a local anesthetic injection. The effect of teaching on these attitudes was also evaluated. Data were collected by questionnaire. Previous experience with local anesthesia in a dental office did not affect students' attitudes toward administration and receipt of a local anesthetic injection from a classmate. Female students were more anxious about giving and receiving local anesthetic injections than male students. Didactic teaching decreased anxiety in relation to administration and receipt of a local anesthetic injection. The results showed that male and female students in a United Kingdom dental school differed in their attitudes toward local anesthesia.
本研究的目的是评估英国一所牙科学校的低年级牙科学生对局部麻醉注射给药和接受注射的态度。同时还评估了教学对这些态度的影响。通过问卷调查收集数据。在牙科诊所以往使用局部麻醉的经历并未影响学生对同学进行局部麻醉注射给药和接受注射的态度。与男学生相比，女学生对给予和接受局部麻醉注射更为焦虑。理论教学降低了与局部麻醉注射给药和接受注射相关的焦虑。结果表明，英国一所牙科学校的男女生对局部麻醉的态度存在差异。
