To compare the perceptions of dental students over a 5-year period.
This cohort study was carried at Taibah University, College of Dentistry, Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia between 2009 and 2014. Data was obtained using the Dundee Ready Education Environment Measure (DREEM), which consists of 50 items, 4 of these were irrelevant to this cohort and were excluded. All students registered in 2009 were included and followed up in 2014. Their responses were compared using the paired student's t-test.
Thirty-four students completed the questionnaire in 2009, and 30 of them participated in 2014 (12% drop out rate). The mean domain and total scores decreased over time. The mean scores for 6 items decreased significantly, while 4 of them had a significant increase. The lowest mean score in 2009 regarding support for stressed students increased (p=0.004) in 2014. However, the highest mean score in 2009 related to having a good social life, reduced (p=0.007) in 2014. This could be an indication of the high workload and its impact on their social lives.
Student's perceptions were relatively low at the beginning, and remained low throughout the study. There were no significant changes in mean domain, and total scores and although scores of some items improved, most decreased over the study period.
比较牙科学生在5年期间的看法。
这项队列研究于2009年至2014年在沙特阿拉伯麦地那穆纳瓦拉的泰巴大学牙科学院进行。使用邓迪教育环境就绪度量表（DREEM）获取数据，该量表由50个项目组成，其中4个与该队列无关，已被排除。纳入2009年注册的所有学生，并于2014年进行随访。使用配对学生t检验比较他们的回答。
2009年有34名学生完成了问卷，其中30名学生在2014年参与了调查（辍学率为12%）。随着时间的推移，平均领域得分和总分下降。6个项目的平均得分显著下降，而其中4个项目有显著增加。2009年关于对压力大的学生的支持的最低平均得分在2014年有所增加（p=0.004）。然而，2009年与拥有良好社交生活相关的最高平均得分在2014年有所下降（p=0.007）。这可能表明工作量大及其对他们社交生活的影响。
学生的看法在开始时相对较低，并且在整个研究过程中一直较低。平均领域得分和总分没有显著变化，尽管一些项目的得分有所提高，但在研究期间大多数项目的得分下降了。
