The evidence available suggests that many dentists on graduation do not feel competent managing medical emergencies; a problem requiring improved undergraduate training. This study developed a comprehensive simulation based training programme for final year undergraduate dental students and assessed student attitudes towards training.
Final year dental students (n = 52) from The University of Melbourne were required to complete simulation training incorporating an interactive tutorial and realistic, simulated emergency scenarios conducted in the students' real clinical environment. A post-participation questionnaire utilizing a 5-point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree) assessed student attitudes.
Student responses supported simulation training, evidenced by the following selected questionnaire responses: achieved greater confidence in managing emergencies 4.65 ± 0.48 (n = 52); prefer lecture to simulation 1.46 ± 0.74 (n = 52); simulation training is important in undergraduate teaching 4.86 ± 0.35 (n = 43).
Realistic simulation training in management of medical emergencies for dental students is an effective adjunct to traditional lecture style teaching. Given the importance of this subject, this mode of training would benefit students if incorporated into undergraduate dental courses.
现有证据表明，许多毕业牙医在处理医疗急症方面感到力不从心；这是一个需要改进本科生培训的问题。本研究为最后一年的本科生牙医开发了一个综合的基于模拟的培训计划，并评估了学生对培训的态度。
墨尔本大学的最后一年牙科学生（n = 52）被要求完成模拟培训，包括互动教程和在学生真实临床环境中进行的现实模拟紧急情况。参与后问卷调查使用 5 点李克特量表（1 = 强烈不同意，5 = 强烈同意）评估学生的态度。
学生的反应支持模拟培训，以下是问卷调查的部分选择：在处理紧急情况方面更有信心 4.65 ± 0.48（n = 52）；喜欢讲座而不是模拟 1.46 ± 0.74（n = 52）；模拟培训在本科教学中很重要 4.86 ± 0.35（n = 43）。
针对牙科学生的医疗急症管理的真实模拟培训是传统讲座式教学的有效补充。考虑到这个主题的重要性，如果将这种培训模式纳入本科牙科课程，将使学生受益。
