A study was conducted with the purpose to assess the knowledge and attitude towards informed consent among private dental practitioners in Bathinda City, Punjab, India.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted among all private dental practitioners in Bathinda City. A self-administered structured questionnaire consisting of 14 items was used to assess their knowledge and attitude regarding informed consent. The response format was based on a 3-point Likert scale. One-way analysis of variance, independent sample t test, and stepwise multiple linear regression analysis were utilized for statistical analysis. Confidence level and level of significance were set at 95% and 5%, respectively.
The mean scores for knowledge and attitude were 19.37 ± 31.82 and 9.40 ± 1.72, respectively. Analysis revealed that qualification and years of experience was statistically significant among both dependent variables (p ≤ 0.05).
An unbalanced knowledge of informed consent among the current dentists has suggested the need for awareness programs to fill the knowledge gaps and instill positive attitudes.
开展一项研究，旨在评估印度旁遮普邦巴辛达市私立牙科医生对知情同意的认知和态度。
对巴辛达市所有私立牙科医生进行了一项横断面调查。使用一份由14个项目组成的自填式结构化问卷来评估他们对知情同意的认知和态度。回答格式基于3点李克特量表。采用单因素方差分析、独立样本t检验和逐步多元线性回归分析进行统计分析。置信水平和显著性水平分别设定为95%和5%。
知识和态度的平均得分分别为19.37 ± 31.82和9.40 ± 1.72。分析显示，在两个因变量中，学历和工作年限具有统计学意义（p≤0.05）。
当前牙医对知情同意的认知不均衡，这表明需要开展提高认识的项目，以填补知识空白并灌输积极态度。
