Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the awareness of oral potentially malignant disorders (OPMD) and oral cancer among medical and dental students of the University of Peradeniya. A pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire was used among 1006 students. Majority were medical students (74.3%), females (60.5%), and in the second year (25.2%). About 54% of respondents had poor knowledge. Dental students had a significantly higher knowledge and female students showed greater awareness. About 90% of medical students had never examined a patient with OPMD, and 79.5% of them had not examined one with oral cancer. Medical undergraduates must receive adequate education about OPMD and cancer.

摘要

本研究的目的是调查佩拉德尼亚大学医学和牙科专业学生对口腔潜在恶性疾病（OPMD）和口腔癌的认知情况。对1006名学生使用了经过预测试的自填式问卷。大多数是医学专业学生（74.3%）、女性（60.5%），且为二年级学生（25.2%）。约54%的受访者知识水平较差。牙科专业学生的知识水平显著更高，且女生表现出更强的认知。约90%的医学专业学生从未检查过OPMD患者，其中79.5%的学生从未检查过口腔癌患者。医学本科生必须接受关于OPMD和癌症的充分教育。
