To evaluate a disinfection and decontamination dental postgraduate course run by the Wales Dental Postgraduate Deanery between 2008 and 2010.
Pre- and post-course multiple choice questionnaires were completed by 1177 course attendees. Mean scores before and after participation on the training course were compared and analysed.
Mean pre-course score was 45.3%, rising to 87.0% in the post-course assessment, reflecting an improvement of 41.8%. Prior to training, 30.7% achieved a satisfactory score of 13/20 (65%) compared to 98.3% on completion of training. Dental technicians were found to score significantly lower than other occupation groups both before and after course attendance. Decade of graduation had no effect on results. Theoretical microbiology was the question area which showed least improvement.
Attending the disinfection and decontamination course significantly improved participants' knowledge. Theoretical microbiology, as a topic area, may be targeted for improvements in future courses to improve results further.
评估威尔士牙科学院 2008 年至 2010 年期间开设的口腔消毒与去污研究生课程。
1177 名学员在课程开始前和结束后都完成了多项选择题问卷。对培训课程前后的平均分数进行了比较和分析。
课程开始前的平均分数为 45.3%，参加培训后提高到 87.0%，反映出提高了 41.8%。培训前，有 30.7%的人获得了 13/20（65%）的满意分数，而培训结束后，这一比例达到了 98.3%。与其他职业群体相比，牙科技术人员在培训前后的得分都明显较低。毕业年代对结果没有影响。理论微生物学是表现出最小改进的问题领域。
参加消毒与去污课程显著提高了学员的知识水平。在未来的课程中，可能需要针对理论微生物学这一主题领域进行改进，以进一步提高成绩。
