Abstract

PURPOSE

Nurses are the professional group who most often provide care. Studies have shown that oral healthcare is being neglected by general healthcare professionals, including nurses. With proper health-related behaviour, knowledge and attitude, they can play an important role in health education and act as a role model for patients. The aim of the study was to assess knowledge, attitude and practices related to oral health among nursing (Bsc) students in Davangere city, Karnataka, India.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 365 BSc Nursing students at their college premises in Davangere city. Data was collected using 25 items self-administered questionnaire which was validated. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Student's unpaired t tests were used considering p ≤0.05 as statistically significant.

RESULTS

The mean knowledge scores of final and third year nursing students were significantly higher than the first and second year students (p = 0.01). The majority of the students felt the need for regular visits to dentist (72.6%) and felt that oral healthcare was an important part of nursing care (91.2%). They also felt the need to collaborate with dentists (78.1%). The majority of them brushed their teeth twice daily (74.2%) and had the habit of mouth rinsing (67.4%) and referred their patients to dentists (61.4%).

CONCLUSION

The knowledge related to oral health among nursing students was good. The majority believed that oral healthcare was an important part of nursing care, hence the training of nursing students pertaining to oral health education and upgrade of their academic curriculum should be prioritised.

摘要

目的

护士是最常提供护理服务的专业群体。研究表明，包括护士在内的普通医疗保健专业人员忽视了口腔保健。凭借适当的健康相关行为、知识和态度，他们可以在健康教育中发挥重要作用，并为患者树立榜样。本研究的目的是评估印度卡纳塔克邦达万盖尔市护理（理学学士）专业学生的口腔健康知识、态度和实践情况。

材料与方法

对达万盖尔市某学院的365名护理学学士学生进行了横断面调查。使用经验证的25项自填式问卷收集数据。采用单因素方差分析（ANOVA）和学生非配对t检验，以p≤0.05为具有统计学意义。

结果

护理学专业大四和大三学生的平均知识得分显著高于大一和大二学生（p = 0.01）。大多数学生认为需要定期看牙医（72.6%），并认为口腔保健是护理工作的重要组成部分（91.2%）。他们还认为需要与牙医合作（78.1%）。大多数学生每天刷牙两次（74.2%），有漱口的习惯（67.4%），并会将患者转诊给牙医（61.4%）。
