Abstract

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the perception of fresh dental graduates regarding professional competences essential for a graduating dentist.

METHODS

This quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted at four public and four private sector dental colleges in Punjab, Pakistan, from June to December 2014, and comprised dental graduates of the years 2013 and 2014. A comprehensive document containing 32 professionalism competences, divided into 3 sub-domains, was developed based on the competence documents of local and foreign accrediting bodies. Responses were recorded on a five-point Likert scale. The competences were categorised as 'essential' and 'good to have' based on the agreement cut-off of 75%. SPSS 21 was used for data analysis.

RESULTS

Of the 386 participants, 152(39.4%) were from public-sector colleges and 234(60.6%) from private ones. The overall mean age was 23.69±1.06 years. Of the 32 competences, the participants marked 18(56.25%) as 'essential' and 15(46.9%) as 'good to have'. In the latter category, 3(20%) competences were from the domain of professional attitude and behaviour, 7(46.6%) from ethics and jurisprudence and 4(26.7%) from the domain of communication and interpersonal skills.

CONCLUSIONS

Pakistani dental graduates had an overall positive attitude regarding professionalism competences.

目的

结果

在386名参与者中，152名（39.4%）来自公立院校，234名（60.6%）来自私立院校。总体平均年龄为23.69±1.06岁。在32项能力中，参与者将18项（56.25%）标记为“必需”，15项（46.9%）标记为“具备更好”。在后者类别中，3项（20%）能力来自职业态度和行为领域，7项（46.6%）来自伦理和法学领域，4项（26.7%）来自沟通和人际技能领域。
